Lucky 76

i understand fans are useful in keeping your amps cool ... i see a lot of people just using them for their sub amps ... i also felt my amps and my sub amp gets a lot hotter than my 4 channel ... do people mainly put fans just on their sub amps or all of their amps?

i dont know if its worth the time going to court ... they look at you as an offender no matter what you do ... the judge usually always sides with the cop ... you have a valid point that low frequencies are omnidirectional but i do not know if that will hold up in a court of law ... you might actually confuse some people in the process

your subs are most likely going to drown out your rears anyway ... id take them out to make room ... as for speakers the re xxx 6.5s get real loud and sound damn good (esp midbass) ... they take 150 no probelm ... people are running 300 to them all day and they are 2 ohm ... the are the same price as those ... just make sure your can fit them in ur door ... they have almost a 4" mounting depth ... i ran a 3/4" spacer and they fit goood ... i have a lincoln btw

u should make a new thread for this but this will explain what an active crossover does - http://www.crutchfield.com/S-ZwVMee08EhN/learn/learningcenter/car/crossovers.html - everything is correct on this except for the fact that the writer believes dave matthew's band is "rightous"

it should be noted that the dnx9140 has a 14 band eq ... also for the 360 i would have to run the highs off the front input and the mids off the rear input on the 360 ... it really shouldnt make a difference tho

Which sounds like a better idea to you. I am in need of a new double din gps radio and i also plan on going active. Here are the choices I can either get the new kenwood dnx9140 sax 100.4 for mids sax 100.4 for highs (will be mostly tuned down since the tweeters will not be able to take 160+ watts of power as they are 2 ohm) i would need to use the crossovers on the amp or the new kenwood dnx7140 rockford fosgate 3sixty.2 (used as the crossover) sax 100.4 for mids sax 50.4 for highs both cost the same or if you feel that there is something better that i should get please let me know

i agree with m5 ... on the lincoln models they add a lot of dampening to get rid of a lot of road noise and engine noise ... this will not only make those noises quieter but also keep a lot more music inside ur car

ya the pico fuse blew because it was grounded through the harness ... what do you mean by the realization of how it will be set up? ... i guess the 2 100.4 amps will be fine because i will be able to bi amp them

please pm me if we can work out a package deal if i were to preorder 8 of these ... thanks!

i might still be interested ... what is the projected release date?

5 pairs. o alright nvm then ... i guess ill have to stick with 2 3500s then because id have to buy 8 1200s then each strapped to its own sub lol and tune them down a lot

why does it say on the maxx link you can link up to 5?

might have to then and link 3 and then another 3 ... what would i get for a combined average power at 1 ohm if i were to link 3 of these together?

so the casing is going to be the same and they will not be strappable?

When you say the 50.4 isn't flexible enough, are you speaking with the assumption that he'll use the crossovers in the amp? I planned on running 4 tweeters off this amp using an 880prs to set crossover points, but now I'm trippin out here. you would have to use the hpf of the h/u ... the 50.4 will not run 4 tweeters crossed over at the amp only 2

pioneers double dins dont offer as much audio features as the new excelon ... the 50 watts was not from the h/u but the amp ... when the pico blows the rcas get all fd up in pio decks ... why do you say i will blow something up? if i put intended power to it w no clipping it will be fine wont it?

wow i feel retarded now putting in almost 8k rms in amps ... o well ive gone to far ... next time well go sq =)

the reason lies in my rca outs i believe ... the pico fuse is blown inside and ever since then everything has been screwy ... im getting the new kenwood dnx9140

no it wasnt that ... i set my gains on my rf t8004 and it was almost the opposite lol ... would you recommend going active? ... is it better for my situation?

the only reason i am doing active is to get more output out of my speakers ... i cant make n e more room for speakers as i do not want to cut apart the doors more than i already have ... they need to keep up with my 4 18s im putting in ... obviously "sound quality" is not what i am after by far ... i just want them to keep up with my low end portion to some extent ... and for the whole gain thing ... i understand if the h/u is turned down to 1 the amp will put out very little power ... the problem is when it gets to the higher volumes ... i dont know if it is on just my old jbl amp and infinity amp (pretty much same company) but i had my gains turned all the way down on my amp and they were powering my comps with easily 50 rms of power

i think the xover has a tweeter protection device on it so it must be the attenuation ... will the amp go down to 35 watts? my old jbl amp was tuned all the way down and it was putting out some serious power ... the guy at re said anything over 35 to the tweet will be extremely loud for your ears and will sound out of place ... he said tweeters are very efficient and that is why so little power to them

your eyes have deceived you along with your common sense

release time est?

so i talked to re and they said xover at 3k ... they said 150 rms / mid and around 35 rms / tweet ... my question is what to do for another sundown amp ... i want to keep everything sundown ... what are my options here ... i dont really want to wire the tweets to get a 4 ohm load because it would screw up some features in the radio that i like ... i cannot go a 50.4 according to jacob because channels 3+4 do not have a hpf x10 switch ... should i just get another 100.4? ... will i be able to tune the 100.4 down so that it will be doing 35 rms at 2 ohm x 4? and will just the amp be fine to use as my xovers?

so are you saying each mid will handle 150 and each tweeter will handle 150? or are you saying mid and tweeter ... what is attentiation ... is that when the tweeter senses distance apart?
