[QUOTE="leonsv, post: 2221736, member: 570127"] lol, good set up yeah that's another system you could go with. And your comment about zed audio not being known... it's not known to mainstream people, go to any sq competitor or professional car audio shops, they have heard of zed audio. The only reason i did not suggest them was because of the price, and i think you meant draconia ,yes it is a great amp. I talked to mr.mantz on an account of a custom zed audio gladius with 100rms at 8ohm only for my car. he is a great guy who offers flexibility on his products. But at 400 bucks a pop, it's pretty expensive... and the sub amp he offered you is a zed minilith no? they are great...period oh and audiojunkies.com carries zed audio Also i wouldn't listen to everything a company tells you... unlike me he is trying to sell a product, ofcourse he'll tell you his stuff is better....lol Now i guess your going to run active then? or are you getting crossovers for the speakers? . Also 100 bucks for a sealed 8" seems too much for me... the supplies would cost about $10 and glue and carpet about $10 so i think i can do it in under $80.... also the ascendant being of better quality is complete bs... i bet he didn't tell you exactly what rainbow the guy had before going to the ascendant... Also i've heard people who had problems with the ascendant 6.5"... look around here and at diymobileaudio.com for horror stories lol personally i think you should run passive rainbow slc 265's... the ascendant and seas combo (by the way which tweeter s r u using?) with about $30-$70 x2 for passive xovers or $200> hu or equalizer that can run active is pretty **** expensive for your budget... not to mention the hours of tuning...worthwhile but a major pain in the a$$ nonetheless. although i do agree that zed audio are great, they are not the best in the market, i assure you. You can't say what's the best until you've used a audison venti thesis ($8000), sinfoni desiderio ($8000), brax graphic ($3000), mcintosh 602tm ($3000), tru technology ($3000) and such.... zed is no where near the best on the market but they are great amps for the money... also for wiring, knukonceptz is great, now hear me on this, copper is copper....there not much difference between a $20 monster wire and a $100 jl wire... so just get a cheap amp wiring kit from knu and call it a day:) finally, your new setup is more expensive.... $70 ascendant mids $70 seas tweets (i would go with lpg 25nfa for $80...) ~$80 passive crossovers $400 for zed draconia $100 for 8" sealed $720 before wiring and install.... but each to his own i guess... good luck man!
