Is it time to upgrade?

[toledokid 10+ year member]

Well, I posted in the AMP forum a little bit ago about how my Diamond D3 100.4 amp blew, then my Kicker Zx1000.1 blew, and my 2 Diamond D6 12" were also on there way out, well, I found out they're probably gonna fix/replace the D6's, and my D3 just got replaced also, so when I replace my Kicker ZX1000.1 should I get something similar in power, or should I upgrade?

I would like to get 2 Type X's or maybe some IA, I just want bangin' *** low bass. My old slot ported box was tuned to 43hz, and I ****ing hated it, it hit so hard, but it was hitting high and not hitting much low at all, (I think me pushing so many lows at a ported box is the reason the D6's aren't feeling so well)..

so if I want to get some thumpin *** bass (Thinking Daz - My System and Triple Six - Late Nite Tip) should I keep the D6? What amp should I get? Should I replace the subs?

Ahhhh man, I just can't decide, I just love low end.

Ya a box tuned to 43 hz isn't going to have any lows. I mean that's pretty freakin high tuning. Try tuning to 32 hz or so and see how you like that. I wouldn't get type Xs, you can get better for your money. You might want to look at Fi or Sundown.

Yeah man, I was fed up with building a box with my buddies, we were all building one and my friend decided to start working on the box the next morning when I wasn't there and he ended up using all the MDF I bought for firewood for a party that night. I'll have to get someone paid to build it for me, the 43hz was a prefab built by Toledo Car Stereo One. I couldn't complain though really, got it for 70$, but still.

Ugh, so the ZX1000.1 i blew it (sent into protect mode) by wiring up a 1ohm load to it, when it's not stable @ 1ohm, how much you think I should sell it for cause I'm sure someone can use the parts.

So, you think I should replace the D6's? They hit pretty hard, I was looking at IA's Death Rows, but I'm open to suggestions so I'll look into some other stuff.

Not only this, but I gotta replace my 6x9's they're old *** Kenwood 6969ie's and they've been in the car for like 10 years, so they're starting to crackle.

I really have no idea about what to sell it for. But if you do decide to sell your amps and/or subs, I could help point you in the right direction,

Ahah, alright, well, what amp should I go with to power my subs when I get em back? I'm pretty sure the ZX1000.1 is toast.

I'll probably get something used on CraigsList again, cause I got the ZX1000 there for 220 well over a year ago, so I can't complain when my dumbass blew it myself.

I'm running an optima yellow top 1/0awg gauge wire all the way through to the distro block, 250amp fuses, and my alt is 130amp stock, so the fuses are overkill but whatever
