    Eclipse or Shiva?

    Yeah, its definelty the stupid upgrade bug. Oh, and the fact that I can get the shiva for less than i'm going to get back from returning the 1030w!

    All Alpine System

    Nobody has mentioned it yet, and since I was just leafing throught the alpine product catalogue, I thought I would mention that the alpine 9835 has the "amplifier link" thing. That means that you plug your amp into the head unit (obviously) and you can then control everything directly from the...

    Eclipse or Shiva?

    Very true, i'm not neccecerily expecting the infinity to blow after 3 months because its a SVC, moreso because its the bottom of the infinity line. Right now I think i'm going for the shiva. I've been looking at them for years , and never had an excuse to get one. I think i'll got with my gut...

    Eclipse or Shiva?

    Hey guys, Right now, I have a good (IMHO) sounding system that i'm quite happy with. I've got Alpine CDA 9811, four Infinity 5002i, one Infinty 310a, and a 10" infinity 1030w. I very much like the way it sounds. My concern is this: I am worried that the single voice coil sub is not going to...

    Volume Issues!

    Yeah, it called for a .75 ft^3 box, but I made a bigger one because I wanted to increase the efficiency of the driver. I'm not sure how much I would like a ported box, I really hate the noise of air rushing in and out of the port. But of course I could always plug it if I disliked it. Oh yeah...

    Volume Issues!

    Hmm. Okay, Well since i'm still within my 30 days that I have to return the sub, do you think I would be better off with a DVC driver? (IE the 1032w, pretty much exactly the same, but DVC) The is listed to be able to push 312w or something at 2ohms. Do you think that would help compensate? Thanks.

    Volume Issues!

    Thats what I thought about bridging it. So you say that you don't think the amp has enough power, and by looking at the numbers I would agree fully. But, right now, I don't have my back speakers installed which enables me to control the relative volume of the front speakers by fading the HU to...

    Volume Issues!

    Hey Guys, Noob here reporting for duty. Well last nigth I finally got around to building my sub box. Its a 1.9 cu ft sealed enclosure. Its housing an Inifity 1030w 10" sub. (250rms 1000peak, 4ohm SVC) Driving it is an Infinity 310a amp (116w X 1 at 4 ohm, 311w X 1 at 2ohm). In all four corners...
