I'm putting together a complete system.

There is no subsonic filter on the amp. Im pretty satisfied with the setup. I need to do the big 3 next because there is a little dimming happening.

****, wonder how much that amp actually puts out. Guessing you're happy with it! Feel like I was right there with you after this beast of a thread.

Just by a mere observation of patterns, I would say that its in the 1200w rms range. After seeing the MS500 put up 750 and the gto 500 put up 800 at 2 ohms certified, i cant see this being any different.

With all the mishaps, at the end, I think you've done pretty well.

It was a learning experience and almost a month in the making. Im very happy with the outcome and greatly appreciate the help and commitment from the members here. Esoecially you and Jeff.

Let me know when you're upgrading!

I dont see any upgrades except painting the box and maybe throwing another amp for the interior speakers. But that would wind up costing another 600 or so.

lol is that cashmere carpet?

Where?

Now something else. On my way home from work just now and I heard what sounded like a blown rear left speaker. Sounded horrible. I pushed the speaker in while music was playing, and the sound went away and sounds perfectly fine now. Wth is that all about?

These are stock speakers or aftermarket? Running off HU?

The alpine sps619 6x9 speakers. Running off of HU

If it's playing now, should be fine. I don't imagine the speakers can keep up with the sub...is that right? Sonic extended their 20% off sale for 2 days...I say you pull a trigger on a decent 4ch. Just hooked up an older cerwin vega amp...~65wx4 on some entry level pioneers that were running off his deck before...he was amazed. With the sale and all, doubt you need to spend over $150.

I know you're gonna want to push them because the sub is loud and they just won't be able to keep up with those 10 watts.

If you didnt cap them off/seal them off from the trunk air space/environment,more than likely the spl from the sub has damaged your 6x9 due to the air/pressure created.That is now a great possibility that the 6x9 is trashed.

Though you may be lucky and they are still fine, just being moved too much by the subs spl/.Find a way to seal them off, by building around them/capping them off with wood, or buy some cheap azzed 6x9 boxes and L brackets and use those to seal them off before they become totaly trashed or having to buy another set

4 channel wont cost more than 200. You can get by with a lot less too.

You can use these to protect the 6x9s
