How to sync two different amps
I wouldn't recommend doing this based upon variables of how each amp is built. Each is going to produce a different output voltage at the same frequency and ohm load amp to amp. Just the way they're built. There's no way to compensate that as it'll change at the next frequency, and the next and the next and the next.

Sound Bar vs. Bose 3-2-1
There's a Samsung unit that isn't horrible. Although there's not much in the way of tweaking controls. Actually, there aren't any controls. You just plug it into your tv and hope you have a decent sounding output there. HT-WS1

8 ICON 15s or 4 XCON 18s
Depending on the vehicle, you may not even be able to build a proper box for 8 15" woofers. I say go with 4 18's.

Running car amp in house off of PC PSU
This is a horrible idea. There's a reason there are home audio amplifiers. There's also a reason people make 12v power supplies ment to take the type of abuse we're talking about here.

Mysterious Amp
That black blurb you see isn't an amp. The red thing is a display. Those things you see in the background are the Zapco C2k Series of amplifiers. And your signature is too large, I'm resizing that mess.

Big voltage problem
Try a different O-Scope. If both the idiot gauge and the stinger are showing 12v.. I'd say the scope you're using is frakked. Or try a cheap DMM.

USA vs Chinese Sure there are more of them, but they all smell like rice.

IA Recommended Enclosure Sizing
If you're buying a Warden, chances are... you don't need help on the enclosure.

Massive Electrical Fault...
For a turn on? No. lol.. No. Just splice a bit from your power wire to your remote. That'll tell you whether the turn on is damaged.

Do FI accept international credit cards???
They can process it as long as the ship to address is the same as the one on the card.

Selenium 6" woofers
Did you call them and ask for an update? You can also purchase Selenium at Parts Express.

Smart config for SQ using Mmats D3500.5 amp
If you're set on the Q, get the DVC 1 ohm model and wire it down to 2 ohms. Generally there is less distortion at higher impedance's.

do i need a high output alternator???
Unless your vehicle came with a 200A+ alternator.. its time to upgrade. 6000w with only two 2400's is never a good idea. I'd bet your voltage is dropping into the mid 10's isn't it? You'll want to either look into a dual 200a alt option or a single 300-350a.
-
Which coils do I want?
A Dual 1 ohm woofer can only be wired to .5 or 2 ohms. Your best bet would be to get the DVC2 option.

Am i wrong here?
Thanks for that info, I've been looking for the article I originally saw him in for awhile now and could scarcely remember any of the details. Off to Google I go.

Am i wrong here?
I'm just going to interject for a quick moment to mention that all good sound comes down to source. I'll bring up yet again, the man that WON the SQ world championships (2001-2002ish?) in a Volkswagen GTI with the stock 3-way paper cone components. The only things he added was the Pioneer P9 combo and a set of older Boston Acoustics amplifiers. Let me reiterate the stock speakers part. Processing people. That what it's all about. That is the first step to SQ. It contains your equalizer, your time alignment and your crossovers.

wanting a fi btl 15
Depends on your vehicle, current electrical system and what amplifier you go with. But knowing that you want the BTL, plan on spending a good amount of money on your electrical.

What is Fi, Scott, or Nicks phone numbers
Maybe you should just email them. If they want you to have their numbers, they should be the ones to give it to you. Not some random person on the internet.

Stick with the 720PRS's. Those speakers are amazing. One of the best sets Pioneer has ever sold.

9887 vs Pioneer 710BT?
If you don't plan on using the advanced active features of the 9887, just get the Pioneer.
