I could also get the soundstream tarantula 4X70W amp for a similar price but I hear the rubicon is a little better.

I'm getting an amp installed next week to power a set of Hertz ESK165 front components and a JL W1 sub. Assume you can get these two amps for the exact same price, which would you choose? It will be installed in the back in a compartment underneath the carpet so it's needs to be efficient and...

Seriously guys, if you don't have anything to say regarding the components I'm asking about, then shut up. I'm lazy and I can afford to pay a shop to do the install. Installing it myself isn't up for debate so stick to the topic. I know most of you haven't used any hertz subs but just looking...

So what do you guys think of the specs on the Hertz ES250? You can check out the Hertz stuff here: http://www.hertzaudiovideo.com/default_en.htm ES250 is rated as follows: 250W rms/500W peak at 4 ohm frequency response: 28hz - 300hz sensitivty: 89 db/SPL Here are the W1 specs: *...

Thanks for the input guys! How much should it cost to dynamat the front doors and is that worth it or is it only worth it if you are an audiophile and want the best possible sound?? Alex

I added prices to first post. Buying everything from the shop. I think they are pretty reasonable. I've already put down a deposit for the Alpine HU since they didn't carry it. Especially since the JL stealthbox is $775! The stealthbox is the only prefab box that would work for me, as...

I'm planning to have a whole new audio setup installed in my '08 Subaru Outback wagon on monday. They're going to build a custom fiberglass box so that the sub takes up very little room (I'm a rock climber and I use all that space in the back every weekend). Basically recreating the JL...
