wattage alone doesn't dictate how the output can effect projected SPL on a meter or audibly(which to me is debatable). There are other things that go on or dont go on that should inside amps that will achieve greater SPL numbers on a meter. I cannot talk about audible differences because it would have to be extremely substantial. IE - Very high damping factors vs extremely low damping factors can have an audible difference possibly. IE - Non filtered outputs can create thermal issues with speakers quicker. That's 2 things right there. You have already narrowed down the rest, same THD level and same wattage comparison.

If i am looking at this correctly.. Chop, are you less than 15 minutes from the explosion? Everyone ok? Just seen it on the news. 11pm on Saturday, unknown cause of explosion happened. Killed 1 person, sent 200 others to safety. Reports saying the explosion was felt\heard for miles.

4 SP4s would destroy something. I've heard both setups in various designs before and while both sound good on music, the SP4 purely has that brute force that just keeps getting louder and louder without losing it's quality of sound(when leaving xmax) like most other subs do.

What iswas your front stage and what was it's power? I got 2 FT1s going to be ran on a 150x2 as well but 101% clip-free because any type of tweeter like this is insanely loud already and i do not think CA makes recone kits for these tweeters... I havent asked yet but MTX makes some and they offer recone kits for like $9, lmao.. But hey, it would come in handy with all that steel base they are made out of.

The only common denominator in this story is your house. Sounds like all computers in your house destroy ethernet cards. Assuming that is true, I would contact your ISP and have them come out and do a line quality test in and outside of your house.

Yea, those crossflow fans blow some crazy amount of air!

You do realize that military spending is not all defense. Much of it is research. And that research pretty much developed every cool technology that you can't live without. I know, but.. with all the money the country has spent and continues spending... Then one year, lets say a certain % of soldiers is brought back here. Let's say that's the % we were waiting for. Well, if the military budget were to still continue being spentfunded the way it was when we deployed all these soldiers over there, then that would be plenty of money for research, etc.. But, in the end.. we do not work in the government so we just sit back as spectators and comment on what we think we know.. Most of the time i just give up. Isn't anything we can do..

I'm only laying out what i see or hear on TV or news. Bush spent tons of money because of 9/11 war.. Obama spending tons of money past and currently(slowly cutting back) on the same war. I may not understand why our government loves to stay in other countries.. well forever but that's their call, not mine. Anyways.. Obama is trying to bring these guys back home but when terroristic activities KEEP happening either here or in other allied countries.. it really delays the timeframe and the Potential for saving money on the military spending. Now, with that being said, let me spill out a total contradiction on what Romney has said- He wants to bring the troops home NOW..no certain deadline or time like Obama said, etc.. He wants it done now... Now, why would he want that? Well, America assumes we bring the troops back, we cut spending in the military and possibly ease tensions on war status... Well, if bringing the troops back is suppose to cut military spending, then why did Romney publicly say in the debate that he wants to INCREASE the military budget by $2.1 Trillion dollars. Now, WHY would you want to dump extra USELESS money, because if we are not at war like what the vision he was implying here, then why put so much money into it when it's not being used? We all know what the military is for but his view and reasoning were contradicting each other by far and made him look stupid by saying that. So, we are going to get our troops home ASAP but start funding the military more when the majority of our troops are not out of the country defending and we are not at a crucial war. Just like what Obama said in the debate, just with any genre of business, you make cuts and gains throughout the life of something and the military has had many cuts from the past to now because of innovative technology. We have machines, drones, computers, etc.. Not everything requires to be at ground level anymore.

kind of a smart ass answer since that really doesnt apply here. Someone was referencing DC Level 5s because of their larger coil upgrade. Because of random guesses, my statement does apply to what was said as the implication reference is not valid. The guess is per opinion but the logic behind it is irrational without stating why.

if you are going to get a local battery for the rear, get a diehard platinum. Otherwise, go with Odyssey or XS.

ALL AGM batteries are Lead Acid batteries. Also, Deep Cycle refers to the primary purpose of the battery, not the type of battery. Deep Cycle would mean low current discharge to extreme low discharge % before recharging. Deep Cycle is not ideal for car audio unless you have an enormous amount of them to compensate for the advised discharge current usage from the batteries themselves.

bigger size coil shouldn't be assumed as being better. Because for one, what is it being compared too? All smaller coils from every sub out there? IE - Audiobahn, i do not know about since their reboot if they still do, had a 6" coiled sub rated for less than 1000wrms. It was a shallow mount sub. So, do not assume that a larger coil is greater than every other sub out there with a smaller coil. If you imply it's better, then list what you are comparing it to.

Sounds like the regulator is damaged OR better yet, the Bridge Rectifier is on it's last leg and can only put out 33 or 67% of it's rating. Either way.. let's assume the alt is going to be replaced. Next step, your battery must be put on a charger, no alternator and do it NOW!

XS, Odyssey, Juicebox and Batcap have practically the highest PHCA on the planet. So, in terms of cranking.. they are the best. In terms of heat, i run a D1200 under the hood and have for a year now. You want to know why batts swell under other scenarios like that? Because people are using aftermarket regulators that are charging above 14.4v. I have a chart here which shows what voltage AGM batts should be charged at a given temperature and obviously the engine bay is hot so it needs the least amount of voltage. You should use OEM regulators even on high output alternators to prevent overcharging.

I wouldn't call it taking.. In general, there are only so many ways to measure.. Peak Hold (burps) Averaging (bassrace, park n pound, etc) Out of those 2.. you have to separate yourself from others by either changing durations, changing algorithms of how things are measured, narrowing the range of averaged output, etc... Of course for Peak Hold, your source material could be either tones or music.. but it's not like there is an unlimited amount of things every league can do.

muddy sound means the transient response sucks. This could be caused by a "boomy" enclosure, extremely low damping factor at wired load, or something is possibly boosted(bass boost on amp or EQ settings or bass settings increased on head unit)

the only cap i recommend doing in car audio is capping the charge voltage

I do not like anything owned by Maxxsonics. List of my choices- Crescendo Audio Sundown Audio DC Soundlab Audiopipe - APK All of these offer great CS and expected performance.

A genuine, not counterfeit, artificial, or imitation electronic device that takes a small electric signal and converts it into a large one.

not likely twice? lol that's pretty unlikely.

I am looking at the 2011-2012 MECA competing season and this is what happened last year- 4-21-12 - Sherman, TX 5-26-12 - Denison, TX 6-16-12 - Durant, OK 8-25-12 - Sherman, TX 9-29-12 - Denison, TX All of those are around 4hrs away from Austin. So, it's possible that there could be events like that this year too.

Let MECA have some time. they've typically ran about 170 shows a year. They have less than 15 right now because the season just started.. THERE WILL BE MANY SHOWS I WILL BE ATTENDING! I GUARANTEE IT!
