  5. No but really, I joined this website because ive been lacking on the car audio forum side of the internet and this website kept popping up in my search results and my Anti-Virus kept saying it was a malicious website so I decided to turn off the AV and here I am, currently got questions about power upgrades to a 4,000w system I am building.

I'm pretty tickled with it. Love the ZCON 15! That thing is an absolute beast and sounds great too. Just wish I had room for a bigger box.

    Just dropping by to say hey to everybody. I'm waaay too old for this, but I'm doing it again. I've been a fan of car audio since I heard my first real system back in 1984. There was a guy named Sid who owned a car stereo store, and he came by to show off his new install in his 76 or 77 Monte Carlo. It was a typical installer's car... Wires all over the place, cassette deck sitting on the hump. It had a single sub firing up through the parcel shelf under that big "V" back glass. He played "One Thing Leads to Another", by The Fixx. I got queasy from the bass, and I've been looking for that same feeling ever since. My new system is about to come together in my 1986 Toyota T…

    I just decided to get back into car audio about 2 months ago I've been out of it a long . The last time I did anything serious mb quart precision power and audio control and Orion were the top brands needless to say things have changed a lot. I have been reading thru the post on the forum trying to catch back up but there are a lot more brands now . If I ask a stupid question let me apologize in advance but sundown and fi and all these other brands ssa sells weren't even around back then .

  16. Started by gibsonusa5,

    So I just picked up a box and 2x10 Rockford Fosgate subs for my Ram. So the subs are 4 ohm 150watt RMS each with a peak of 300watt. Here's the problem. I listen to rock mainly so I don't care about a TON of bass, but I do like a good amount. The subs are bridged or whatever, and that's where I don't know what amp to get without spending a fortune. The two subs don't have two wires each I guess that's what bridged means? So my question is, what channel, RMS, ohm all that stuff, what would be the best amp for me? I'm so lost and the audio guy near my house is just trying to make money off of me. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Yo i'm a lil' southern boy from charleston SC haha and i was lookin for some help on my system setup. What i have planned so far is a 10" 2 ohm FI Q for my acura rsx. (It's a hatchback and there's nothing between the seats and the trunk) I already have some polk component speakers which will do for now. For the amp situation i was thinkin either a dsc1000.1 ( DSC1000.1 - MB Quart 1 Ch 1000 Watt Amplifier ) for the "Q" and a 4 channel discuss amp for the tweeters and front speakers, or 1 discuss amp, and a sundown audio amp wherever it would be better suited (4 chan. or mono) Sorry if that made no sense. My music prefernce is pretty broad, but i like rap and alot of techno…

  19. Started by Zane Loucks,

    Alright I have a 02 KIA Spectra, the alternator I am running is 300 amp. I have 4 cubeic box with two 12inch Zv4's. Its tuned to 45hz. I have recently upgraded my amp from a Hifonics Brutus 2500wtt to Sundown 4000 watt amp. I also have a XS power D3100 battery. All the wiring is 1/0 gauge. I am being told from friends that its fine for running a burp in competition, but not enough power for demos or sustand listening. I think I should be ok? Just second guessing myself. Hopefully I gave enough info?
