From my understanding & experience you're not going to blow them unless you push them way too hard. And with a quality powerful speaker its not likely you will be. 150wrms@2ohms would work out to about 125@2.7 which is spot on. Jeffdachef says they put out more than they're rated for too so...

I went with component. Giving them 150wrms@2ohm ( /100wrms@4ohm) ea from the amp. As they rate at 125@2.7 ohm it suits them well. What does the b2 amp put out? I'm not familiar with them here in aus but after a quick google, I assume you're using their 4ch amp (as you mentioned putting in...

Sorry, I'm not as technically apt in the sound space as others on here. I was trying to give my opinion on the speakers (as that's the best I can offer beyond him hearing himself or reading the speaker specs). To further elaborate my statements, the Polks seemed much more capable of lower and...

I very recently was comparing between the alpine spr & db6501 (components though). IMO the Polks sound better, but I ended up increasing my budget and going for the mm6501. The difference is incredible! (Even compared to other speakers in this price range from focal / jl). Nice rich full...

I have decided to go with the Soundstream TN1.1200D 1050wrms@2ohms $266.85 rather than the kenwood for the sub amp for a bit more oomph and a remote sub control. I have the lc2i on order and should be getting all the parts except for the jvc amp this weekend. Then the install fun begins...

I listen to quite bassy electronic music so it does go low. Not sure if you mean by the quality of the music files or style of music though. haha my budget keeps expanding So you think the below would be a good set up: LOC- lc2i $110 Sub - ALPINE SWR-12D4 1000wrms@2ohm $220 Kenwood...

Oh wow, now that's why I came to the experts! haha Those volume specs are so misleading. Sorry, the above mentioned amps are for the 6.5" components up front. The one I was looking at for the sub is the PIONEER GM-D8601 800wrms@1ohm $220. The two that are best here are: Car Audio Systems...

Would you recommend ported or enclosed? from what I understand enclosed is more responsive? I have previously always gone for ported. I found this ported one which is around the recommended volume on the alpine website and is pretty cheap. ($64) Aerpro SPB12 12inch Subwoofer Box - SPB12 Would...

Holy S*** the type R sub is powerful!! 1000wrms unf! In all honesty I missed ones like this as I was mostly looking at ones that come in enclosures as a) I'm not handy enough to make one b) don't know enough about how to choose an appropriate box for it and assumed ones that come enclosed would...

I was originally looking at the db but through reading around a lot of people seemed to say the mm were worth the jump. I was trying to not skimp out and go for a quality install so was leaning that way haha. So you think I will get enough from the db? Clearly mm clarity will be better, but in...

Thought this would be a good place for a stimulating conversation with like minded people... Clearly not

Hi all, I'm new here and would love your advice on my upcoming install. I drive a Citroen DS3 &live in Australia so all parts are at what I can get them here for. I was originally going to get it done by a shop but was not happy with what any of the quoted me. This is my second install with...
