Anyone have any personal expierence with the soundstream pca2000d. they are rated 2000 watts rms. Anyone know if its underrated or overrated? I am gonna be getting either to Fi Bl 15" or so SSA icon 15". Just wondering if this amp will be good for my project. here the specs http://www.onlinecarstereo.com/CarAudio/Pr...ProductID=15529

well ya i probably was gonna keep it off and when i do need to use my trunk just put it back on, but the soundstream one will have to be covered cause tahts where im placing my sub box

Already ive had this setup in my mind for a while now. The reason for doing this is that I travel alot and sometimes might need my whole trunk. So when im about to go to travel all i would have to do is simply unhook the speaker wires from the sub and now that my amps will be safe. I know alot of people like to have there amps mounted to the back of the seats but if i need to fold my seats down or have stuff in the trunk that might damage the amps i do not want that to happen. Just wondering everyones opinion on how this setup would work. Would they be safe under there? And remain stable when going over speed bumps ect Well here is what i had in mind edit: also does it matter whether amps are mounted on a flat or slanted surface? I know that the soundstream amp is slanted a little upward. Just wanna make sure that doesnt effect its performance and in the end still looking like this

so you dont think i will have an overheating issue with them under there?

then ill probably just get the dual 2's run them 1500 watts at 2ohms on the soundstream then when i upgrade to the kicker run them at 2 ohms for 2500 watts

Well right now I am gonna get either 2 Fi BL or 2 ICONS. They will be wired to 1ohm off my soundstream pca2000d. But in the future i will be getting a zx2500.1. On the kicker site it rates it a 2500 rms at 2 ohms. Are the kicker amps one ohm stable? Cause if i get dual 1's to run off my soundstream amp at 1 ohm then when i upgrade to my kicker amp and not be able to wire them to 2 ohm then i got a problem. I was thinking though if i just got Dual 2's and just ran them off the soundstream amp at 2 ohms for 1500 watts then just be set for when i get the kicker amp. Or can will i be able to wire dual 1's to 2ohms off the kicker?

i was thinking of drilling holes on the top would that eve help though? something like this would that help with the air flow and make it cooler?

yup as stated the soundstream will be powering 2 ICON 15" at 1 ohm and the JL will be powering my components at 4 ohms a piece

right.....

alright alright. Also does it matter what type of surface they are placed on? As you can tell the soundstream is on half plastic and half carpet. Also does it being at a slight angle effect it at all?

at night getting rear ended would be pretty hard cause the break lights do show up very well at night but i must admit during the day damn u really dont even see the break lights

ill have vids LOTS of vids when i get mine eventually

I am hearing alot to stay clear of the hilfonics amps. But if your budget is anything id go with Us amps, Sundown, or kicker

Hell yeah nice man i love how it looks on grey cars

my question is can dual 1's do 1 ohm on my soundstream amp and then when i get my kicker amp be able wired to 2 ohms cause if i recall correctly dual 1's can only be wired to 1 ohm and 4 ohms

how are the type x components? http://cgi.ebay.com/ALPINE-SPX-17REF-6-5-T...1QQcmdZViewItem

right now i have a jl e6450 amp http://www.carsound.com/articles/publish/article_268.shtml and im getting these type 4 components http://www.alpine-usa.com/US-en/products/p...ng=en&tab=F the amp does 70 watts at 4 ohms and 110 watts at 2 ohms my question is can u wire components to get the 2 ohm load? cause the alpine type r components are 4 ohm and i dont want them getting 70 watts when they can be getting the 110

.,

the soundstream will be wired at 1 ohm and the jl will but putting out 4 ohm components i will have the big three upgrade and a bigger alternator in the near future

AH finally i can go to sleep

yup still lookin

How are monster RCA's? I wanna get some of these for my 4 channel amp http://cgi.ebay.com/NEW-MONSTER-CABLE-RCA-...0QQcmdZViewItem and these for my amp http://cgi.ebay.com/Monster-Cable-XLN-Pro-...1QQcmdZViewItem

what are the CA forums? i heard they had some cheap kicker amps for sale but dunno what the site is

Can kickers run 1 ohm stable? every time i see there ratings it just says 2 ohms

ALRIGHT COOLC OOL finally! lol
