[QUOTE="tuckermitchell, post: 7835097, member: 643597"] So, new news. Had soccer tournies for the kid the last couple days so couldn't check back. Had the eclipse tested by a local guy on Friday afternoon. Turns out two channels have some issue but he thinks its repairable so I left it with him. Also, in the meantime, through word of mouth in my extended network, I was offered a Fosgate Punch 700x for $75 bucks. Cosmetically, it's a 5/10 but I listened to it in the guys car and I know it works for the most part. Snapped it up. That gives me the following numbers to run comps and midwoofers: 87.5 x 4 at 4ohms 175x4 at 2 ohms 350 x 2 at 4 ohms bridged After some more research last night and today I've decided to go with the JBL MS-62 component set. They have gotten really great reviews and I don't think that 165 is a terrible price for something I hope I am only going to buy once. Now, all I have to do is wait two more paydays to pick up enough mat to do the trunk and under the floor of the car.
