[QUOTE="gunz4me, post: 5210828, member: 596464"] What gets me is some of the local kids I see running anywhere from 1,000 watts RMS on up to their subs, and they are running radio power to their factory speakers. In their defense, some of them are actually running a nice set of components.... off of head unit power. Seeing systems like that makes me want to b1tchslap the person who talked them into going that route.. ETA: Last week I was showing my Civic's system off to a friend of mine after lunch, and he was truly impressed. This kid (complete stranger) comes up to me and asks me how much power I am running. I tell him 650 watts and his eyes got real big. He proceeds to tell me that he is running way more power than I am and he doesn't understand why my setup sounds so much louder. I ask him what kind of amp he is running... his response.... Legacy. I proceeded to tell him that maybe he should look into a capacitor. My buddy about keeled over laughing so hard and was shocked at how I pulled the capacitor thing off with a straight face. [/QUOTE]
