[QUOTE="Jcdanible, post: 8520403, member: 669433"] So, I still haven't received the amp because the shipping is having some issues but I have a few general questions I thought of. 1. So How do you know how long you can run your amp (Play music) say you go on a road trip and you play your music full volume for 6 hours would you have problems with the amp over-heating or the speakers having issues? So in my case with the new NVX amp and my speakers/head unit If it was setup properly would you even have to worry about how long and loud you can play music? 2. So I understand with subs the bigger the cone obviously the louder it will get (a 12" vs a 10") the 12 is going to get louder. But I was wondering what's the difference between a high-end 12" sub with a good amp and a crappy 12" sub with the same amp? Will they essentially get just as loud because it's the same size? Or does nicer build also usually have to do with getting louder? What made me think of this question is that my friend has some crappy subs (they were in his car before he got it) He was told he has two 12s and the box is ported and that all seems fine, it's running off a BOSS amp which is disappointing but anyways his subs don't get even half as loud as mine and mine aren't that nice they are just newer and have a nice amp. They aren't clean either just super muddy and It's pretty hard to explain but basically I was just wondering what determines how loud subs can get other than actual cone area. 3. So the same friend ^^^^ His subs just randomly started cutting out and It doesn't surprise me because his Subs are trash and so is his amp. He also didn't have them properly tuned and the HU is a piece of garbage as well. The question Is what's a very, very cheap way to replace his system. He really wants to use his trunk more and the box takes up a TON of space. I was thinking a single 12" setup properly with a nice amp would be perfect, I know a NICE single 12" will sound better, and get a lot louder than his current setup and he'd save space. Do you think a single 12" would work? If so what would be a budget 12" to get? Thanks, I thought of these questions over the last couple weeks and It's been driving me crazy. [/QUOTE]
