Kanga - you don't like Kenwood Amps? What issues have you had with them?

haha - but Boss MUST be good, their 1 DIN headunits double as video screens!!

great intel!! i'm intrigued and now i need to take that thing apart. I ended up getting a 1500w Kenwood Amp to power the subs...it just terrified me hooking up a Made in Korea amp from the '90s. So - anybody want to buy my RARE JBC amp for $1000??

Thank you all for the advice. The inline fuse that is just for the Big 3 - should I go bigger then 150A? (it makes sense the 150A on the 1/0g feeding the distribution block is enough). I purchased x2 80A fuses for the distribution block - should I go lower so the distribution block is closer...

Yes, the 1/0 is from Knu Conceptz and I have an in-line fuse for that. In the manual it listed a 60A draw as the max for the amp I was going to run x1 1/0 into the dist block and then x1 4g into the amp from the block. In the future I'm adding a second amp so I'm leaving that output on the...

My amp XR-1S: Kenwood - XR-1S My understanding is that it draws 60A max. I'm running a fused distribution block that splits 1/0g into x2 4g wires and then to the amp - which fuse should I go with for the distribution block (amp rating)? My alternator runs at 130amps, is 150A fuse appropriate...

helotaxi - meaning don't turn them way up and blow the subs?

will this amp work - 600w @ 4ohm? http://www.woofersetc.com/p7817/XR1S-Kenwood-eXcelon-Reference-Fit-Monoblock-1500-Watt-Class-D-Amplifier.htm x2 of these: http://www.parts-express.com/pe/pshowdetl.cfm?&DID=7&Partnumber=295-134&ctab=2#Tabs

what is 2 Ohm "stereo"?

On my blackberry and can't seems to copy the url...parts express carries them or google, Dayton 10" shallow

This is a very newb question..should I apologize in advance. It states in the specs that its a Dual 4ohm Voicecoil...but its rating of 250rms was at 2ohms. Would someone mind explaining that to me? If I'm running x2 of these, should I look at amp ratings at 4ohm or 2ohms...or something...

I'm new to this, so I might be wrong with this assumption...please someone correct me if I'm wrong. The Kenwood Excelon sub amp seems to have pretty good specs compared with ID; in particular the S/N ratio: KAC-X20 - Kenwood Excelon 2 Ch 1000 Watt Amplifier ID amp: Q 1200.1 - Image Dynamics...

forgot to add...which amp would choose then for those subs? a few folks on this website recommended the Daytons for my shallow box...

I was told the Kenwood Excelon were a really good bang for the buck for the components.... I did go a little cheap on the standard Kenwood for the subs; but I didn't think it would matter as much to lower the quality of the amp for the subs. Any recommendations on amps to match the components...
