[QUOTE="Doxquzme, post: 8848704, member: 689267"] I didn’t say that you didn’t know what you were saying or that you were inexperienced, but some of the points made were inaccurate and overly general from a sound and applicable electrical point of view. Granted specs are not everything so having the engineering background and knowing how ot decifer and understanding the math makes a difference. It’s just that not everyone wants to dick around with pulling amps and reinstalling them. That explains the difference in our approach to what is better, respective of the goal; I’m not that vested. I don’t do SPL builds at all, SQ only, don’t need/want to upgrade the entire electrical system and reinvent the entire interior just to make ones ears bleed, can do that sky diving!
