[QUOTE="mhosier, post: 36340, member: 543508"] Hi there! My wife has just got a 1962 Cadillac convertable which has been shortened by 35" and had a pretty special custom paint job. She wants a sound system in it that will be impressive enough to take to car shows without sounding silly in the corner!! We already have a fairly decent Kenwood head unit and CD-changer, but I have never attempted to do anything that loud before.... We have a pair of Memphis Audio 10" 600W RMS subs with dual 4 Ohm voice coils, so we can bridge the coils to give 2 Ohms per speaker. I have found a Jensen amp which I hope will be adequate, because we are on a VERY tight budget for this... [URL="http://www.electronicsbonanza.com/Merchant2/merchant.mv?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=EB&Product_Code=JENXA2125&Category_Code=2020"]http://www.electronicsbonanza.com/Merchant2/merchant.mv?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=EB&Product_Code=JENXA2125&Category_Code=2020[/URL] Is this gonna be worth having, or (bearing in mind this is a convertible) is it just going to sound underpowered? If we have to spend more to make it sound good, then I will, but we are gonna have to wait a bit to save up! For midrange, we have a pair of Sony 6 x 9's which I will run direct from the head unit for now, but put a small amp on when we can afford it... Any advice would be great! Cheers, Martin [/QUOTE]
