First I just want to say I really appreciate you taking all the time to edumakate me on the new stuff :-) I guess I should use the term SQ loosely as I am not a nut about it. What I remember from the old days is you had three kinds of amps (and speakers for that matter). You had amps that...

BINGO! In everything I have ever done, quality and performance costs. You could almost say back then that you rated your amps in dollars spent and it was a direct relation between that and SPL, at least with any SQ at all. Then years later you get told everything you learned gets turned upside...

So I currently have one 12" in a sealed box in the trunk. Problem is, I need all the room I can get my hands on (I am a traveling tech, have tools, parts, and even a folding ladder in the trunk, litterally every inch counts and yes, I have to maintain the spare tire, heh), in addition, I am...

Db-r, maybe you missed my first post in this thread where I talk about a two channel, 150 watt per channel Orion amp almost needing glass reinforcement, we broke our share of glass with WAY less than 1500 watts. I remember you could buy a 200 watt per channel 4 channel Pyramid amp at Wal-mart...

Oh wow! Those were some serious amps in the day. I ran several of them, including that 2150 there, it was my pride and joy. Wish they were still at that level, how the mighty have fallen. Allan

Years ago, before some of you were born, heh, I was really into car stereos. Since then I have always upgraded the stereos in my cars, but never with anything even remotely serious. I am once again putting a new system together, slightly better than usual for me, and went looking for a...

Yes, I know, years ago been there done that, dual 15"s in a small car with 800 watts at 2ohms. Don't want to go there again. So you think Dayton reference over Polk? And one 12 or two 8s? Allan

Kenwood Mac-529s, 120watts bridged into one 4 ohm 12" sub. I was thinking the 12" Polk would be a better sounding sub and I think it requires a smaller enclosure which is two good things. I also thought about a pair of 8" as that might be slightly smaller than what I have and probably tighter...

I don't think I really need an amp more than what I already have for what I am trying to accomplish. The setup I already have is more than "loud" enough. I mainly want better quality sound, and if possible, a smaller space taken up. As for budget, I would not mind spending a few hundred on a...

Lets start with where the system is headed. Eventually these will be in the vehicle (2007 Buick Lucerne): Kenwood DNX6960 Polk MM651 fronts Polk MM691 rears For the sub I currently have (pulled from my old car): Kenwood KAC-529S 120wx1 amp MTX Thunder 6000 12" sub Off the shelf enclosure...
