Yeah good point, I didn't realize his sub was so cheap. That sub would actually probably blow on rated power (at that price bracket they just assume people buying those bundles won't ever run true power to the amplifer)

True. Alot of it just depends on how aggressive you are with the volume and how loud is loud enough for the drivers liking I remember back in 2016 me and my local shop owner tested a 750 watt Soundqubed monoblock on 4 different sedans all with the same sub setup and the 1 car that had an...

Speakers you bought are 6.5 inches where the stock OEM speakers/mount is 6.75 (6-3/4"). You can either return them or contact crutchfield customer support and they can tell you what adapter you need to buy (basically a small plastic bracket that will allow you to install the speakers to the...

I would go through Singer Alternators because he was the only one of the major companies that offers an option to bypass the ELD Singer Alternators I would do either his 200A or 220A option with ELD bypass. That would give you some headroom if you later down the road wanted to upgrade your...

If you want to max your amplifiers and do true power then yes you will need an alternator. Most stock alts barely charge at idle and have alternators that are designed to be pretty close to what it needs to physically run the car + accessories (especially sedans). For example, it wouldn't shock...

No I think it's still a good fit. The current revision (version 4) not only works well ported but likes boxes on the bigger end of the recommendation which is exactly what you have. Unless your dropping a ton of money on electrical upgrades I don't think you have to worry about blowing it...

You reading it wrong. 600RMS is the recommened RMS for the subwoofer regardless of ported or sealed.

According to their website it's 600RMS recommened for the 15 and 500RMS for the 10 and 12 inch models http://www.imagedynamicsusa.net/idmax Most of the cases i've heard in regards to the IDmax failure is people treating it like an SPL sub

Alot of the cases I heard where people treating it like an SPL sub which it's not. The recommended power range for the 10/12 inch models is only 500 watts and 600 watts for the 15 inch model according to Imagine Dynamics own recommendations. I've seen people throw 1500 watt amplifiers on it and...

Solid overbuilt korean amps. There's alot of users that have run those type of boards over a decade Agreed. With TCs current electrical (250A and an AGM) even something like the Q2200.2 would be a very good match. Good balance of price, power, and reliability.

Alot of cars from 2010 onwards have voltage regulators, it's unfortunate for car audio purposes (lower voltage) but the manufactuers do it so they can pad there MPG rating. Reason why alot of those alts you were looking at are $350+ is because they do way better amperage at idle, they actually...

Because that's literally the point of a hobby and a forum, to discuss and learn about aspects of the hobby and learn why the competitors are the competitors Not everyone has the desire to just be a bobbytwonames and spam "uhh buy american bass that's what I run and it slams" (yeah sorry I won't...

Chris's page was posted on the first page and tells you everything you need. To absolutely no surprise cheap overseas knockoff selling at 80% less price isn't as good and you have to use way more to get similiar results (some of these variants are so low quality that you won't even get same...

It's not simple math because one's a high effiency product that's engineered for near peak results at 25-35% while the other is basically a mystery (don't believe me ask @SkizeR he owns the company and has batch tested all the competitors). You wouldn't spend anywhere close to that, the whole...

I know your joking but unfortunately alot of people actually believe that when in reality there's alot of science behind deadeners. It's the same thing with electrical. The same people that believe deadener is deadener are the same ones that think they can run 1500 watts RMS on the subs alone...
