I have the setup listed in the subject. is it sufficiently underpowered that i would get a more powerful amp than the 500/1?

once again i wanna thank everyone for their responses. i talked to bob morrow over at morel (one of the many places he does his thing, including car audio and electronics mag) and he suggested this test to see if i wanna upgrade my HU. once i have fully addressed all my phase issues, etc., i...

why such a large gap? just sounds good?

this was pre fiberglass pods, pre morel components, pre dynamat xtreme. funny you should ask, check out this thread: http://www.caraudio.com/forum/showthread.php?t=206815

if u have a new or fairly new pioneer HU that is equipped with an adjustable HPF and LPF, please put your crossover points and the slopes you use. i know its all diff from car to car, im just curious and trying to get an idea of what my alternatives are. currently, LPF @ 80 Hz - -18dB/oct...

first off, i appreciate the detail of all your guys responses. 1. his time alignment was off. i also have time alignment, but because of the fact that the front speaker location embodies both the tweeter and woofer, and because these two drivers are roughly 16 inches apart, it is difficult to...

the speaker locations are the same...are u saying that this is false? "Yes. Bridging a 4-channel amp into 2 channels to run a 4-ohm speaker setup results in each channel of the amp "seeing" 2 ohms, and effectively pushing ~2x the power to the speakers at 2 ohms as it would at 4 ohms. Doubling...

you lost me there. it can handle 20W bc its bridged?

sorry, brainfart, however, if an amp puts out 200 W at 4 ohms, and 400 W at 2 ohms, the speakers have to be able to handle more wattage at a lower impedence, correct?

except the production quality *****, even compared with stuff that was out in '88. justice was produced by flemming rasmussen, who didnt produce anything. basically, it was tallica that produced it and the SQ of the recording is not very good. i have heard one on some home systems that ran my...

so bridging the amp, thereby lowering the impedence, u are doubling the wattage sent but since u are lowering the impedence, arent u also doubling the RMS rating of the components?

read this about 4 or 5 times: http://sound.westhost.com/bi-amp.htm

his EQ is weird, it has 4 band parametric EQ. also, while i have yet to use an RTA bc i am saving up for a good scope to set my gains at their max unclipped settings first, i have spent a lot of time using my EQ. he isnt the biggest audiophile. he has 5.1 surround sound in his car. when i...

plus, its not just the diff in HU, its the fact that he is underpowering them by a significant margin and i am giving them plenty of power. also, i set my own gains using a DMM, he did his by ear

i know i know, however, its a significant degree which is why i am in fact amazed
