[QUOTE="T3mpest, post: 2697773, member: 560148"] Apparenlty you don't want to listen to anyone other than your friend so I'll keep it brief. A good class D amp will sound just as good as an A/B on a substage. Just because you can measure something doesn't make it audible. 1500xxk's can actually be used full range if you were so inclined, they'll do more than fine on a substage. Damping factor >100 is fine for a car. Your setup isn't a 10,000 pure SQ install, you've got ALOT of better ways to spend your money. I've got a 2500xxk and a 1500 xxk, once I finished playing with gains, I really didn't hear a major difference. What your doing is analagous to this. You are buying a car, your not looking to spend alot, just something "nice" to get you from point a to point b, your not rich, you work for your money. You save up and spend 10k on a toyota corolla. Cars in decent condition, could maybe use a tune-up, new oil, etc. However, you decide spending 5k on a new fancy suspension for your 10k car is a wise investement. The mechanic told you to, the car will handle SOO much better. Just a couple questions 1. Is your fronstage active? 2. Mids in kickpanels? 3. Have access to an RTA or high end ht setup? If SQ is your concern, fixing those issues is 1000x more important than a minor substage change. Price to peformance you getting *****! [/QUOTE]
