Dude, your amp is a beast. What kind of power were you pulling at .35 ohms?

@ bbeljefe... Thanks for the information. I appreciate you taking the time to respond as you did. I tried contacting them via website but never went beyond to actually call them. I haven't heard a lot about build houses, but the only info I had read about them was not positive. I'm hearing...

I would research the amount of amps that your alternator puts out. According to this site (maybe not accurate): Chevy Blazer Alternator - Free Shipping - Replacement, USA Industries, Quality-Built ...you're looking at 100-120 amps depending on the alternator you have. I can't answer your...

Budget?

I would think that the weakest link that most needs to be considered is the alternator. You can have a hundred batteries, but if your alternator can't keep up, then inevitably you're going to lose charge (and alternator). Isn't that the reason why caps are discouraged? ...unless you are...

Thanks for the response; I've appreciated your insight several times now! You say that there will be little "appreciable" difference.... does this mean that there will be little "depreciable" difference as well? At what point is there going to be a practical difference? My only real concern...

Great question. I think the reason is that I've personally always had better luck with sealed. They are typically tighter with a little better response with less wattage. But going bigger, that "advantage" may be going away- I'm not sure. I'm not necessarily looking for louder, just deeper...

So, I have a question that I have been trying to research for the past few weeks and haven't been able to find a definitive answer. Maybe someone here can give a coherent response..... I'm building a box for (3) Infinity Kappa 100.9w's, sealed. The spec sheet calls for .75 cu. ft per sub, and...

I can't seem to find anywhere to find a CT amp. No dealers in Indiana at all. Nothing on Amazon. Guys in Michigan apparently don't exist, and I haven't been able to locate anyone in Illinois. Where can I find these?

Checked out the CT Sounds AT1400.1d. Gorgeous amp (aesthetically), and seems to be able to pull some power according to ( ). I will actually be running at approximately 1.5 ohms, so the power would be enough. I'm not planning to play them hard, so I don't need to max anything out. Thanks...

Main goal: SQ, not SPL. I want it to hit relatively hard and smooth, but tight and clear (sealed enclosure is what I am using). 2006 Civic EX.

Maybe I should clarify what I'm using it for. I have (3) 100.9w Infinity Kappas that I want to power. RMS is listed at 350 watts, but I don't want to run my amp at max RMS power. I looked at the MB Quart (RA1500.1) as well as the OA1000.1 (.02% THD), but I don't know whether the quality of...

Is $350 for a quality amp not reasonable?

Well, I'm hoping to get some wise/mature advice on an amp selection. Maybe that wasn't clear? I could have re-worded, I guess...
