    I will try to get some pictures up this week, I got my son's first stereo build finished. We went to a Stereo comp in Shreveport La this last Saturday 15th at Audio Anarchy, a great stereo shop IMO.

    Last help Post on dad installing son's first stereo. thanks

     My son's SSA Evil 6.5 arrived  today. I am VERY impressed with the shipping of SSA and WoW those speakers look amazing.. I guess I had a brain fart when I ordered and didn't order the components (100% on me, not SSA they sent exactly what I ordered) so I ran by local shop and bought a pair of...

    OK for those who missed it or have forgotten this is the link to my first thread.  And now on to my questions.

    Kinda new and installing stereo in son's truck

    Thank you for making a great product. I read alot on the 6.5 Evil being a great set of speakers and that is why I bought them.  I'm so glad I came here and ask for help because I almost made some big mistakes. I've canceled my order for the hifonics amps and stopped my order on the FU Audio sub...

    Ok So how about the NVX Jad1200.1 the dyno said it was a true 1200 watt amp and it is still a close to budget amp? Would it work with maybe one of the 750FU or the 1250FU subwoofer?   Also I don't sem to be able to find the wolfram amp for sale. thanks

    Kinda new and installing stereo in son's truck

    So I should order the 2-ohm subwoofer and run it at 1-ohm? or buy a different Amp? I just ordered the sub from FU so I'm betting I can change the order in the morning  Edit...it is my understanding the hifonics does 1400 at 2-ohm and the sub is rated at 1500 rms? so the amp will not do what it...

    Need New 6.5" or 6x8 replacements for Bose

    Not trying to hijack the thread but will using boom mats for the door speakers do anything to help or does the door need to be sound deadened with something like dynomat?

    ID12v3 daily rms??

    Take my reply as you see fit because I'm no expert but I did own a pair of ID12's sealed on a ID Q1200.1 and the subwoofers lasted all of 3 months. Those sub's can take around 200 to 250 RMS at best. My reply would be no, they can not take that amp. The subs are still sitting in my game room but...

    I need to order new front stage door speakers...not sure which ones, Help.

    Thank you for the reply and help. After spending over 3 hours reading across the internet I am leaning toward buying the Morel Maximo 69C 6" x 9" I've read very good things about this set. I'm going to wait a few days and see if I get some other replies to this thread before ordering though.
