[QUOTE="loudenuff, post: 8534405, member: 664608"] Hate to be that guy but I guess I'll do the honors. For one I don't think mechman makes such a small alternator. If you paid more than $30 more than you'd pay for an oem alternator then you wasted your money on that. Two, scosche subs aren't worth half the hourly wage of the peopple who make them. Bad driver, they wouldn't sound too hot to begin with. Two of that amp even did it's rated power it would blow those subs bc the power handling wouldn't be much more than 500 I believe. You NEVER turn an amp past 1/2 of the gain. Ever. Thirdly, that head unit is low end. Which wouldn't be bad considering it's a budget build, if you had your gains set with an oscilloscope. But it's likely you didn't and tuned by ear, pushing the subs to get them as loud as you want them to be, which isn't good for the fact that it's a poor quality system. Fourthly, that amp is low end and probably doesn't do close to rated without clipping. You should really have done more research on this and not just assumed before purchasing your equipment. Would've ended up with a better system that might actually please you. Take this like a spoon of nasty medicine and don't argue it... you'll get a lot of hate making ignorant posts like this. Not trying to be an a$$ but nobody gave me info like this straight up and that's why I blew two grand on bad systems. And audio clipping you can't hear. You can but not when it first starts. Any audio clipping will damage your speaker, you might not notice it immediately but your coils will seize before ya know it. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
