wow i feel retarded now putting in almost 8k rms in amps ... o well ive gone to far ... next time well go sq =)

the reason lies in my rca outs i believe ... the pico fuse is blown inside and ever since then everything has been screwy ... im getting the new kenwood dnx9140

no it wasnt that ... i set my gains on my rf t8004 and it was almost the opposite lol ... would you recommend going active? ... is it better for my situation?

the only reason i am doing active is to get more output out of my speakers ... i cant make n e more room for speakers as i do not want to cut apart the doors more than i already have ... they need to keep up with my 4 18s im putting in ... obviously "sound quality" is not what i am after by far ... i just want them to keep up with my low end portion to some extent ... and for the whole gain thing ... i understand if the h/u is turned down to 1 the amp will put out very little power ... the problem is when it gets to the higher volumes ... i dont know if it is on just my old jbl amp and infinity amp (pretty much same company) but i had my gains turned all the way down on my amp and they were powering my comps with easily 50 rms of power

i think the xover has a tweeter protection device on it so it must be the attenuation ... will the amp go down to 35 watts? my old jbl amp was tuned all the way down and it was putting out some serious power ... the guy at re said anything over 35 to the tweet will be extremely loud for your ears and will sound out of place ... he said tweeters are very efficient and that is why so little power to them

your eyes have deceived you along with your common sense

release time est?

so i talked to re and they said xover at 3k ... they said 150 rms / mid and around 35 rms / tweet ... my question is what to do for another sundown amp ... i want to keep everything sundown ... what are my options here ... i dont really want to wire the tweets to get a 4 ohm load because it would screw up some features in the radio that i like ... i cannot go a 50.4 according to jacob because channels 3+4 do not have a hpf x10 switch ... should i just get another 100.4? ... will i be able to tune the 100.4 down so that it will be doing 35 rms at 2 ohm x 4? and will just the amp be fine to use as my xovers?

so are you saying each mid will handle 150 and each tweeter will handle 150? or are you saying mid and tweeter ... what is attentiation ... is that when the tweeter senses distance apart?

so 4k will sound almost the same as 8k then?

alright thanks for the info

would what i said before work if i wanted to go active? if i wanted to run my mids off the 100.4 and my tweets off the 50.4? or will there be a xover issue?

right now i am pressed for cash and i cannot buy what i want. is there a possibiblity that there will be more sales going on sundown amps such as the 3500 before xmas?

would you be able to tell me the likelyhood of a possible sale

well at first i intended on running pasive at 2 ohm non bridged ... so each output on the amp would go to its own crossover... the comps are 2 ohm not 4 ... i have 2 sets of comps so 4 mids 4 tweeters ...would going active be a better idea instead of running passive to those components? the output states 160x4 at 2 ohm ... wat will it actually put out?

x2 also im suprised those subs on ur roof didnt cave it in

should i be running active with those speakers? if so will the 50.4 work for my tweeters and the 100.4 work for my mids?

no i was running passive ... y does it matter as far as output goes?

you should just save up for the new zed 6 channel lol ... digital and if it is simplicity you are after this is for you ... there is not many options when it comes to 6 channel ur better off with a 4 and 2

i agree ... kickers are good amps - esp their kx series ... no need to get something new

i would just leave that system stock ... im sure it sounds incredible already ... its amazing what rich people drive for everyday cars ... my dads friend owns a company that does all the security for all the major las vegas casinos and he drives like a 94 civic for his everyday car lol

btw its just putting that prius to shame in the background

ya i was able to see the concept of this car in 07 before it was released and i almost gizzed myself

if he puts subs in a car like that i might have to personally smack him

how do you like those c&d bats? i was going to buy 3 or 4 for my car
