Posted May 16, 200817 yr well i wrecked my 08 Mazda 3 sedan taht i had a 15'' FI BL and 1 1500 sundown in.. doing 145 at the headrest.. so im starting over in my 01 volvo s60 T5.. i hope this car gets loud as easy as the mazda did.. anyways what you see here is my incomplete isntall with 2 SAZ1500.1 and 1 SAZ100.4 as well as a rockford 360.2 and two batteries.. one is under the trunk floor in factory location.
May 16, 200817 yr How come Sundown puts their name and model number facing opposite directions on the amps?and what does the rockford power? I assume the 100.4 is for your front stage

May 17, 200817 yr Author the rockford is a signal processor... since i use a crappy head unit.. "in the last car used stock" i use this to flatten out the eq curves and tune it to my liking.. believe it or not i do like my stuff to sound good too.. and the 100.4 is powering fronts and rears.. also the rockford does make a good line driver... 5v.. and yes i flipped the sundown logo so it wouldnt be upside down.. also come monday i will have 2 new batterys.. and my 2 12'' nightshades..

May 22, 200817 yr Let me answer by asking you a question.If your amplifier accepts .1V to 10V inputs, why would 10v be better than 2v??
May 22, 200817 yr Oh btw, calling a line driver a signal processor is a joke, it is an amplifier but my answer above was for a line driver.

May 22, 200817 yr because an amplifier will put out full power with a .1 volt signal the same way it will with a 10 volt signal if you set the gain accordingly. So there should be no advantage in using a line driver.
June 6, 200817 yr Author basically i use the rockford because i like the EQ and crossover options it gives me 32 band per speaker and 12 on the subwoofer and 60some crossover points.. or maby more cant remember... and i can use really crappy sounding cheap dvd players and still get good sound and full potential out of my amps... well here are some updated pics.. of batteries installed and wires cleaned up.. we build the box tonite and will be installing it tommrow nite and listening to it.. ill be sure to post up some vids.. and pics of the final product before tuning.. i also had to replace my alt so i got a rebuilt 140amp alt and no it was not easy to put on..
