    Hey guys, I'm brand new to the car audio world and am looking for a system that can pound as a daily driver. I've already decided to run 2 15" N2 BTL's but am unsure on what to power them and what alt/batts to back them up. I've read a lot of forums and the DC 3.5k amp looks good plus its 15% as a presale. I was thinking of having a 320a DC power alt with an XS D975 up front and a D3100 in back, all wired 1/0 with big three. Will my system run well? and if not, what can i do to make sure i supply enough power to amp and that the amp is a good fit? BTW, budget is in $2500-$3k range Any tips/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    Watsup guys, I'm new to this forum and in need of some advice. I bought a 00 mustang gt with the crappy Mach 460 system, the previous owner replaced the stock head unit w/ a Kenwood DDX418, love the stereo but it sounds horrendous with the stock sound system, I have compiled the speakers so far: DB drive speed series 6.5 components for the front and Hypnotic Zen 6x7 components for the rear. I need help choosing an amp ( I know i need something that is 4x80) and I need help choosing a set of 10" subs ( I was thinking of 2 kicker cvs subs in a flush mounted box) and an amp to power them. I want good clean studio sound, and I don't want to spend an absurd amount of money. Wh…

    Picked up a Re XTX 5000.1 to run a 15" Z V.3. Right now i'm running a rockford t400-4 to 2 sets of t1675-s. I just put a new 170amp H.O alt and my lights are already dimming. With the new sub arriving friday i will be putting the Re in and don't think this batt will hold up. Any suggestions on a good batt that will keep this thing running smooth?

    Still posting her as I am a Noob. I mentioned in another post, I have some OZ ME380CS component speakers that I am looking to install in my summer cruiser. I recently cam across a Punch 600a5 for a reasonable price so I scooped it up. I thought about doing a sub on the single channel. I guess I'm wondering what the opinions are on the use of 5 channel amps vs. 4ch and a mono? If the 5ch would be a good option, what would be the best setup considering it the components are crossovers, mid range and mid bass both 4ohm and 6ohm tweeter? The amp specs are: 50x4+100x1@ 4ohms 100x4+100x1@ 2 ohms Comps are rated between 75-125 watts rms Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
