why would you get the BP option?

why would you get the BP option?

x2

you dont need the bp option with that much power. Get a sundown 3000 and watch your gains to get the full potential out those subs, you will need the bp option with that amp though. So if your getting the 1500 you could save yourself 80 bucks unless you will plan on upgrading at a later future.

You should get the BP option and then get an aq2200d or a kicker zx2500.1 or something like that, you definitely won't need the BP option giving each sub about 850 rms. As far as a component amp I would just get a kicker 350.4 or an alpine pdx, jl slash series.... plenty of amps, just get one that does rated power.

Deck... depends on what you want alpine 9886 or 9887 if you want active, pioneer 880prs, etc. all good decks, what features do you want and whats your budget?

Nice. I'm saving to screw up our economy even more.

^^lmao at your sig haha

back on topic.... yeah don't get the bp unless you plan on going with a different amp or if you want you can get a sundown1500 now and add another one later on so that you can have one per sub, make sure to pick the right coil configs

Okay I wasnt sure if the Q's could handle that much power. Good news! I purchased my Morel Tempo 6 today on ebay. They should be shipped soon. Bad news.....I cant make up my mind on a subwoofer.

Basically Its between the FI BL or FI Q or AA Havoc. Really tough to decide. Ive only listened to type R's and im not sure if i want to sacrifice quality for spl or if i want to sacrifice spl for quality.....Im also not real familiar with the Havoc, i have just read it beats a Q.

Another problem....I am not sure want kind of amp i need. The Components are 4ohm. So that means i need a certain kind of amp so they are compatible right? What would that be?

I hope these morel tempos live up to the hype they have on here. I did little research on components because i found a good deal on these and have heard good things so far. I am running stock now so i am sure they will be amazing. Going in a 04 Civic Coupe.

Also can anyone explain what a crossover is. They come with the components but i have never purchased or messed with my door speakers before.

Thanks for any help. This forum is extremely helpful. Thanks to all

I think of those choices, Id like trying out a Havoc. Everyone around here is running Q's and BL's these days anyway.

Why the havoc though? What do you think this excels in over FI?

 

[pioneerpimp 5,000+ posts]

nothing. its a strictly hammer and nail dealer based company. if anything the q or bl is better because you have the choice of options.

AA is strictly dealer. built and shipped. no options or anything.

Hmmm.....there is alot of hype in the Havoc when comparing them to fi though.....I think the hand built quality of FI would be better though also...

Aren't they pretty much run by the same people?

Aren't they pretty much run by the same people?

I was told FI is there internet based company and AA is what they sell to distributors
