  1. Is that the big gold one? Or the new style?I'm going to run a crescendo amp for my subs which is why I ask, matching would be nice. I've emailed them several times with no response. Wonder if they make a 4ch in the new style. I believe they are releasing the new 4ch soon hence why they are getting rid of the old ones at that price. Could be wrong but I think that I read it somewhere. Yes your correct, there selling the rest of the old gold ones and once there gone they will be releasing the new 4 channels. You can just sell it once the new ones's come in if matching amps is a must. For the price you cant beat it. If I recall, the IA is a Class D, while the Sundown is a class AB. So... What does that have to do with him buying an amp?

    SSA ZCON 15 questions....

    No its not, music is dynamic. Stop worrying about how much power your going to give the driver, the box will determine that more than you or anyone on this forum. 2 ohms on that amp will be fine.

    Big Secret?

    You will find out at the same time as the world will since Fi does not early release info or pictures on products that arent ready for release. It doesnt matter how many threads you make about it.
  6. You could grab a Crescendo C10004, they are selling for $195 shipped I believe and its 125w x 4 @ 4ohms iirc.
  7. I was considering those but they are rated at 85 rms. I feel since they are IA they are probably underrated and I'm concern I wont be able to get them loud enough with 70rms, or will I just be clipping them at higher volumes. RMS is not an important factor when going to buy comps, get what fits your budget and what you like. If you do get the IA components and they dont seem loud enough to you then sell your amp and buy an amp that puts out more power. But like others said, going from coaxials on head unit power to components on an amplifier will be a night and day difference.

    SSA ZCON 15 questions....

    If you have to ask about how power to give a sub then stick to rms power or lower, since your not competing the Zcon doesnt need 4000 watts. Its rated at 2250 rms for a reason.

    JL Audio 2012 New Products

    JL is not overpriced, just cost more than what your willing to pay for a sub or amp. Dont go in a JL topic talking about price, this is about new products being released and not about you crying over their prices. Thanks

    neo pro audio mids help

    What would you be comfortable spending, a budget does help even though you say you dont really have one. You could go purchase some $30 supertweeters or get some $700 Image Dynamic horns to go under the dash. Its all gonna come down to budget, what processing do you have, what work are you planning on doing to the doors, where will these tweeters be mounted etc. Help us out with some more info and we will be glad to get you rolling, let us know more about the front stage install itself.

      http://www.prvaudio.com/DE280.html

      Got in contact with a dealer down in South Texas, great price tag for the drivers. Better quality than the Seleniums and on par with the B&C and such. The voice coil is copper among other things the Dealer told me, he seemed very well vearsed in there products and answered all my questions. I got the best 1" replacement horns they make but they have a very big selection of compression drivers on their site so check ...

    This Ship Has Sailed!

    Looking forward to future business ventures from you Mike, I really was impressed with the Soundsplinter RL-p line and always heard good things about your company. Good luck and keep on trucking, if you had a successful business once you can again. If you ever bring SoundSplinter back we are hear waiting on you. Jay

    intetnet brand amps.

    I like DC Audio amps and wouldnt mind getting one along with Everest Sound Labs (they seem to be getting a lot of buzz lately). Im not to fond of Crescendo Audio and there customer service so I wont be using them again, I have nothing against there amps. I could care less about spending money or saving money, I buy what fits my needs (space, power, reliability, features and the companys' customer service). You cant talk about Sundowns prices, like Jacob stated plenty of times his company is not an internet based brand that sells directly to the customer. If he wanted to he could and his products would be a lot cheaper to fit some poeples needs or wallets. Not justifying his prices or his company just stating facts on why it is what it is. Dealer based companies will always have higher prices then internet based companies, no matter how much the products compare to one another. The one thing I do respect about Sundown is he was having great success with Zenon boards and then started seeing companies imitate for a cheaper price, and what does Jacob do about it. He just re-tools his amp to differentiate them, while other companies are sticking with the previous boards (where's the innovation?). Honestly who cares what the next person will run in there vehicle, I didnt know now days that I had to justify my product purchases with the next man.

  24. You would not be able to wire down to .66 you're options are 1.34, 3 or a 12 ohm load. Whomever told you you would reach .66 was wrong. I was only able to get down to .66 with dual 2's and 6 of them. Thats why he said he has (3) dual 4 ohm drivers and not (3) dual 2 ohm drivers, with (3) dual 4 ohm drivers 0.66 ohm load is possible along with a 2.67 ohm load.
