so i am guessing ur tryna stay above 2000 watts for the pair rms? if not whats wrong with the zx1500.1. u can find one on ebay for some slight chit and it wont cause u to upgrade ur electrical a lot. there are a couple of them that are on ebay now for a lil less then 400 shipped. 2 canada though..not sure.

so whats up with that amp. u tryna sell it.

ok it can run 1 ohm stable? the specs dont say that. and what is ur wattage when u run at 1 ohm? how long have u had that amp? i would think it would damage the amp.

i wanna b competitive but it is a town car so me doing a lot of extra is not really what i wanna do. so if it wont make a difference then i wont do it.

i have a dilema. i have a zx2500.1 now. i am gonna purchase 2 15.2 orion hcca's next week. but since some faggy ass mofos done stripped my other car i think i wanna put more money into this setup. i have a 6cub ft box @ 35hz for these subs. i am contemplating buying another zx2500.1 to run one amp per sub. i am prepared and fully aware of the elec upgrades need to be successful. so with all this being said what would be a realistic difference in the 2 setups. 2 hcca's wit 1 amp or 2 hcca's wit 2 amps. obviously this is a problem cause i need to buy the subs according to the ohm load they will be run at. my goal is to have loud and deep clear bass. i want some movement(flex) and i want power. but if there isnt a clear and noticeable difference in the 2 setups why spend the extra. the setup is going in a 04 towncar.

so what is the difference of people who have multiple runs of wire? does it only make a difference for power wire?

true. good looking out. didnt know if my ground would be that much more solid because of a direct connection to the battery. i also wanted to do it cause i thought it looked kinda good. so when u use a meter what setting are you to put it on and what should it be reading?

i plan on running a power and ground directly to my amps from under the hood. i dont really want to ground into the trunk. does this make a difference? i am also going to do the big 3 upgrade. kicker zx2500.1, and a zx650.4 are the amps. 2 optima 34/78 yellow tops.

son please....get a bigger amp. u have alot of potential there. 600 watts? at least u could get a hifonics 2000 watt and get a lil over 1000 to both of the subs. lol

oh chit. after i watch ducky dance i see randy's name. so ur in maryland? do u compete @ us audio's dbdrag comps? i dont think i have ever seen u before.

lol @ bigjohn. i was thinking the same thing as i read the thread.

i want to wire my tweeters and mid drivers without using a crossover. the sales rep i spoke to told me that was the easiest route to go. i dont have any specific goals other then for the speakers to work and not blow. or sound bad.

i have 2 morel dms-29 1-1/8 tweeters. what would be the difference in sound if i used a capacitor instead of running the speakers thru a crossover? does it affect the power it receives?

ok i see what u mean. they are under my profile in my album. i put one up real quick for now. i will fix it either tonight or tomorrow.

i am really feeling that box but why do u have the port blocked? will that take away from the sound?

the pics are under my profile. neither car has anything in it now. the 04 has 2 amps and a battery in my room and the 93 has everything except a h/u. some jack a s s broke in it and stole my s hit so i just took everything out. i will be putting in both systems shortly. just need some more money for them hcca's. and i still am debating if i wanna do 2 15 hcca's, 2 15 btl's, or 1 18 btl. i have to actually start hearing some of these speakers in action or i will be confused until then. but as soon as i get them up and going i will be posting vid up.

i put some pics up finally. seing ur remark made me remeber. i will post more later. and i need to hear ur setup. u got me real hype over here but i like my pops always told me.. i dont believe chit stinks till i smell it.

and to add my opinion, i would say go with the 4 15's. i have never heard 8 12's. the trunk in a caprice gives you a lot of options with a box because of the shape. i have 4 15's in my trunk and it is loud as hell. if you power it correctly you will be satisfied.

hold on bigjohn...so u tellin me u beat a truck with 4 15's? what kinda subs, amp, combo? are u talkin db's?

ok thanks. didnt see that.

ok. thanks 4 the help

wow no response?

do u know of any websites or good tutorials on how to crossover speakers and all the terminology associated. ei. db slope all that stuff. it makes it real hard to ask questions when u have no knowledge of the topic or its verbage.

so do all crossovers have the same frequency range? so i could just go to the store and purchase any crossover? and 2 way? if i am correct a crossover allows u to control the frequency to the speakers? also allows to to run 4 speakers (2 tweets and 2 whatever) as 2 channels to the amp?

do u sell blueprints for box designs? i am gonna need to have a box built but i will be running low on funds.
