    let's clear something up about amplifers

    I am actually not planning on buying any new amp anytime soon. I ask moreso for my information. I know that the pathetic brands are not even worth mentioning that's why I mentioned the fact that I have a HiFonics and people are always saying that JBL is the economic choice. It's not even a...

    let's clear something up about amplifers

    If possible, I want to get a good discussion going that will help me tremendously and others as well. I'll try to be clear in exactly what my query is: Regarding sound quality (emphasis on sound quality alone), does the amplifier brand matter? I know some amps have more versitility and give...

    vented enclosure

    Well, I installed it and it actually didn't sound as bad as I thought it would (keep in mind all I listen to in my car is rap), but it didn't compare to my sealed enclosure in SQ, just a hell of a lot louder as one would expect. Now, I by no means claim to have a real "vented enclosure”...

    audiobahn amp question

    I am asking a question for my friend who does not have internet access (close to his home). He actually knows a lot more about car audio than me... He has a 1800W Audiobahn mono amp that pushed his 3 Kicker VRs beautifully for quite some time. But then suddenly the amplifier started playing...

    What do you think about Eclipse subs in general and more specifically about the SW9122 Titanium subwoofer?: http://www.eclipse-web.com/products/speaker/sw9100/sw9122.html How do you think this stacks up against the infamous JL12w7 or 12w6v2? If you look at the link, the xmax looks very...
