    Adire Koda 10" sub & Arc Audio 2050 question?

    adire loves to tout the the sensitivity of their subs. Did you watch that video of the shiva getting only 60 watts? RMS ratings of speakers are just a general guide, not a ceiling or requirement. Your sub won't sound like it's 70 watts short. It will sound like 230 watts. If you really have...

    powering components with big amp

    actually, i meant to say legacy instead of lanzar. anyway, what I'm trying to say is that , from my experiences, infinity speakers - especially the perfects- can take a serious beating. I'm not recommending that you drive around with your gains so far up that you're just blaring a bunch of...

    powering components with big amp

    but seriously though... I guess you could say I'm between installs right now. I was pretty happy with my Alpine SPX F17M set being fed by a JL 300/2, but then I needed some money and I had to put it all on ebay...the EQ, the Cap, Subs, and sub amps. So, right now, I just have a pair of Infinity...

    powering components with big amp

    i'm the world's most stupidest friggin moron when it comes to the volume knob and gains and just installation in general. Yet, I have never blown a pair of speakers. I'm beginning to think that doing so is either a result of speaker manufacturing defects, or just kamakaze-style gain setting -...

    4-channel amp

    BigPimpin: Right now, you're running your speakers off deck power. There are two reasons that I can think of as to why this poses a problem: A: not of enough power. The lack of power is causing you to try to overcompensate the bass, thus distorting the highs. B: no filter to cut out...

    clarion amps?

    I'm not too sure, but I think the relatively small increase in power at 2ohms has something to do with its regulated power supply. On the flipside, i have no doubt it does what it says it will do at 4 ohms.

    clarion amps?

    I'm using the 4320 right now. I am thoroughly impressed by this amp. I've never used any of the real "high end" stuff like Arc or Tru, but this thing has plenty of power and very clean sound. I've used both the older and the newer Clarion APX lines, and they are a far cry from the quality of the...

    powering components with big amp

    well, i don't know a whole lot about setting gains by measuring the voltage output. But, I do know that the volume knob is a pretty significant source of control over how much wattage is actually going to your speakers. By that I mean the amp will not give you 150 watts until you turn the volume...

    which amp for my components?

    http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=18796&item=5746497232&rd=1 to power my front components, I've used alpine V12 series, JL audio slash series, both clarion apx series, US acoustics, Kencrap, PPI, and even Blaupunkt. The above amp in that auction is hands down my...
