Anybody else think it's hilarious how even after the name change, people still refer to soundqubed as audioque?

I can't help it. Soundqubed sounds dumb

I was referring to used so I said AQ. So I was correct. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/tongue.gif.6130eb82179565f6db8d26d6001dcd24.gif Plus their new name *****....

Haha, older AQ gear or not, nobody refers to the company as soundqubed.

In fairness, I do believe they had to change their name due to a lawsuit between themselves and a company called audioquest.

They really could have picked a better name though.

What sound are you going for? Also the Fi BL is a more comparable sub to the Q, in terms of price range, btw

2000 watts rms or under cca is fine ,but if you plan to go larger then ofc.also the vfl 4480 will be a good amp in your budget

A good point, but nobody plans to go over 2000w when they're starting out. Then they get their system in, get bitten by the bug, and it's all down hill from there. It's a worthy $50 investment to get the better wire now. The Big 3 is arguably unnecessary for under 1k, but people still do it.

I'm just giving him advice I wish I had given myself back when I was new.

very true , but some guys and girls stop at even 1500 rms and say thats enough power

Yup, they usually hit that wall due to financial reasons, or they start to care more about SQ than output. Once you go over 1500w, subs and amps get more expensive, as well as the extra cost of electrical upgrades becomes prohibitive.

What about Cadence 0 guage? I wanted to upgrade as well and it costs $50 for 25'....

i run only rockford wire...personally figure for the price is right there with the other high end brands of wire except in my research rockford has proven to be the BEST strand of wire out there....

could be wrong but still cant go wrong with their wire...can get about 30 feet of it for under 100 bucks

truthfully i think 2-2500 watts can be had without extreme electricle upgrades if stock alt is worth a **** and you get a couple of good batts..

example i got my t2000 cranked in my blazer with out a big 3 (i plan to do it soon of course still) a couple of optima batts (obiously still not ideal batts) zero gage wire and stock alt. But yet i almost never have drops below 14 volts and NEVER under 13

Yes, but still, a couple good batteries are still going to run up the cost of your system by a good 300-400, which to some isn't an option.

from what i read it all depends on what kind of power ur trying to make when picking wires i planned on 2500rms to 3000rms... i ended up going with knukonceptz kolossus OFC $3.95 a foot cause i plan i adding more power down the line.
