Any other feedback?

Not sure on Amplification yet. My budget I would like to stay under 3K for everything with exception of HU. As far as Active, I have never done it. If I could find some matl on it and read up, i'm sure I could tackle it. To give you an idea, i had MB Quart QSD 216's in my S-10 and LOVED them. They could get a little hars with heavy guitars. Wish they were a little more toned down on the tweets, but the clarity I loved. That is one of the reason I was looking at the Focals. I have heard they are a brighter tweet, but also get some decent mid bass from the woofers. I brought up the Memphis simply because I liked what I had heard. I listen to Anything and everything from hip hop, to clasic rock, to heavy rock, sometimes country is tossed in there, and even a little classical from time to time. All depends on my mood. BUT what I am trying to get at, I want to hear the kick on the bass drum with rock, that is something I heard with the Mclass's but did NOT with the Focals, BUT he likes things more natural, was more muddy to me, but everyone has there own preference. I am completely open to amplification. Anyone have a link where I can read up on Active crossovers. I did a little searching but I assuming thats something you do when bi amped?

I am getting ready to do a full install on my trailblazer SS. Its currently just stock Bloes system with factor 6disc in dash. I am planning on running an Eclipse 726E for the HU and from there is where i'm not sure. I auditioned a car yesterday with Mclass Memphis MCC6. It had some great puch to it when every you would hear the drummer hit the bass pedal. It was not coming from the sub as much as it was coming from the woofers in the doors and the rear deck lid. He has his running off of a JBL MS-8. I am sold on the MS-8, that really blew me away. Well, I had wanted to run Focal 165 KR2's, but got to listen to a set of Kr2P's today that didnt do much for me, but the way he had them setup was part of the issue. We listend to Dave Mathews band Live at Bedrock "watch Tower" and every time the drummer would hit the crash symbols they were muffled. I didnt get that fromt he Memphis, but like I said they were setup different. Memphis was running off factory crossover's and the Focal's were running straght into Bi amp W/out cross overs. He was letting the MS-8 handle all crossovers. Both vehicles were running MS-8 BTW. Anyone think I would be happy with the Focals after I did my own tweaking, or should I not spend the money and just run the Memphis. Almost half the cost for MA. My original plan was running the Focal's in the Q form kick pannel, and putting just the Memphis 6.5 Woofer in the door for added mid bass. And possibley running 1 Memphis Shallow mount 12 in the back as I don't want to give up any cargo space. Let me know what you guys think. Pick away. All in all I am looking for good SQ, but want some kick to the mids!

What would it put me at if I went from Left Neg on the sub to the Right Pos on sub and then Left Pos to the left amp and right Neg to the right speaker on the amp. I think thats how I used to do it. I would have to pull up the archives up on the US amps site. I used to have a diagram. Sorry if this seems like such a dumb question, but I have been away from the audio world for about 3 years now. Have not hooked anything up for about 5

Okay, I will most likely want to get it to 4 ohm mono, what sequence would I have to wire it to get it down there, it will be going on a US-1000 once I find one. Thanks

I would like to keep it under 500, size does not matter. Its going in a crew cab silverado.

I have a set of 8 Ohm Solo Baric subs I am looking to run on a Mono Amp. I used to have a set of Solo's that were 4 ohm that I ran on a US 1000x. Can't remember what the setup was but I know I had a neg from one sub running to pos to the other sub, then one terminal pos going to the pos on amp and neg going to the amp. Is that just a bridge Mono? Would that have been at 1 ohm? My question is, If I do that on my 8 ohm subs what Ohm rating will I be at. and also what is the exact wiring configuration. I am having an extremely hard time finding a US 1000x amp. I am considering running a JL500/1 does anyone have any other amps they like, I am going towards a SQ setup, not looking to rattle my fillings loose. I guess thats why I likeed my US Amps because I could really hit but I had one hell of a clear sound at the same time. Any opinions would be appreciated

No takers? No Idea's

Okay guys, My wife has been beggin me to get her new truck (2007) silverado Crew to sound similar to my old S-10. In the S-10 I had a downfiring box with Solobaric S10D's 4ohm running mono on a US 1000X Some might say it was a little overkill but I had it turned down and was probaly one of the cleanest systems that I had herd (Yes I know just my preference) I also had MB Quart Q's for mids and Highs running off a PPI PCX280 which I still have the Quarts and the PPI. Okay you might be wondering where I am going with this. I am looking for a little help for powering these subs, and keeping the SQ good. The sq was amazing with my US amp and it pounded at the same time if you really wanted it too. The new subs are S10C's and they are 8 ohm. Any suggestions on amps. Keep in mind I want a good clean sq amp as later on down the road I might get my MB quarts back in the truck or step up to something a little more natural. Thanks for the help guys!
