I'm putting together my van's stereo system. I have two truck tuba subs by billfitzmaurice 2.5Ω 500w, And a PPI 4200AM 4x50w powering old school MB quarts components in front, but still need some book shelf speakers, or small floor speakers for the back so I can move them around. I thought...

I ended up paying $30 for my DB DRIVE SPA1250.1:suave: I'm sure the amps recommended here would have been great as well. Thanks!

It would be nice..

Any opinions on the DB DRIVE SPA1250.1 available on my local craigslist? I'm tempted to offer maybe $50 as she seems motivated.

That's what I was thinking. My audiocontrol active Xover still works, but it still would be nice to have a Xover and outputs in the sub amp I'm seeking, to send preamp signal to my mid/high amp. Please correct me if I'm wrong with that assumption. I found a DB DRIVE SPA1250.1 local. 1250...

I found a JL audio 12W6 sub and Alpine MRP-M450 local for 400 asking. The arc audio kar 1000t2 is sold I believe. Should I use a external active Xover? Im not seeing preamp outs, as I envisioned this amp would be first, then signal to my second amp

I don't mind paying for quality. Convince me Yes I assume since a single is 120W/240W Wait.. There's no preamp out. How do I know when I need to upgrade alternator's batteries cap's?

I have two 4Ω MCM 55-2421 8" woofers 120W/240W RMS/peak, In two folded horn Truck Tuba cabinets which add another 1Ω. Billfitzmaurice efficient designs really thump. In parallel, I have a 2.5Ω load. I'm looking for a mono amp designed to be a sub amp. It needs to have a high quality X over...

How about a US AMPS MERLIN SERIES MD-1D? Im tired of looking for used gear.. Oh I see they no longer make them? Jesus, can anyone recommend a solid sub amp I can buy that will still be regarded as decent 10 years from now? Maybe even sought after?

Thanks! I'm not sure at the moment.. But after searching, I'm wondering if I should have stepped up to the also recommended Dayton Audio DCS205-4 or Tang Band W8-740P because the cut out and screw locations will be practically impossible to change after the cabinet is complete. I have four...

Hi guys. I plan on building two bill fitzmaurice truck tuba's for the back of my Ford van. I already have two, 4-ohm MCM 55-2421's recommended for his Truck Tuba's, but might upgrade them in the future. I'm unsure on the best way to wire these, or what amp I should consider using/looking...

Is there a better alternative to the bitone?

My closest dealer is 60 miles so that's a possibility. I narrowed it down because of the optical inputs and how clean the system is said to be when used. The remote would work well with a tablet. I dunno... its expensive and must be world class?

I'm about to bite the bullet on some gear. Iv always wanted to use a laptop or notebook as a head unit and want to use the audison bit One to run everything.. Is the Bit1 the cats meow when no HU is used ? Is a old fogie like me going to be able to tune it if the last system I installed was a...

I got him down to 250 after a 225 offer.. Not a smokin deal by any means..
