Brand New Car. Looking to upgrade the stereo. Havent done this in a decade.

Don't do 1200w rms amp. These are 600w woofers. I also have 600w woofers and ran them off q1-1200d and it was not enough at all. Picked up a temporary planet audio amp that does about 1800-2000rms and they really shine. Take my word for it, put a bigger amp on them. Even Q1-2200d, just turn it down.

If I had some extra cash I'd put about 800-1000 to them. You'll be happy though bro. Can't be beat for the price. Although I got mine before the price went up //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

$429 is as good as it's going to get for an amp of that power, but there are other amps out there as well. For lower prices, look for used amps...trusted sellers only.

That's the thing, extra cash. It'll have to do for now. No worries though, I'll push more into them when I can.

When are you looking to buy? My DD should be coming back sometime soon. I can sell you my amp. I'm local to you, so no BS involved. If you'd rather not wait, go to Force Electronics in Santa Ana - the dude has a big used selection. Take your phone with you and be ready to google some prices so that you can negotiate a good price for yourself.

Thanks bro. I've already jotted down that spot in Santa Ana. Gonna be at least a few months. Got 2 in college and 2 seniors.

No worries, it should be around.

Word on the street AKA what the forum guys say is that it's a 80 amp alternator. The fuse is 120.

So how does this limit me on those Sundown Audio SA-10 600W SA series?

AudioControl DQ-61 Factory sound processor with equalization and time delay at Onlinecarstereo.com

Would definitely spend the money on a oem sound procedure. Not just a line conn.a.verter

For everything. And gives you all the eq you need. Time alignment etc.

a lot of time with subs, they can sound sloppy or a slow when your playing fast beats and Its not really the sub's fault its just your vehicle design. The way to correct this is with time alignment where it'll make the sub play earlier so the bass sound waves will hit your ears the same time the mids and highs will. This is necessary in most trunk setups.

And the subs will play earlier if I have nothing else hooked up to this thing?

I appreciate all of your info so far. Whats you guys opinion on this?

It's not really subs playing earlier, but the mids/highs playing later. You can only delay a signal, can't accelerate it. I'd go with a single sub, most of the time you don't use full power of any amp anyway. Watch for your lights dimming.

Thats kinda what I was getting at. I will only be adding subs.
