They are some awesome speakers. I ran mine on about 110 watts ish. They got pretty loud and sounded good. Once you start pushing them real hard they start to struggle a little so you might need to raise that crossover point on that big amp but yeah, I haven't heard anything like them for the same price.

Well what deck do you have, maybe someone else has the same one and happens to know when it clips. I would always assume yours will clip just earlier since you don't know for sure. I've used a few kenwood decks and none of them have ever clipped, but I don't know model numbers so that isn't helpful. My o-scope shows what I consider clipping just barely before the clip indicator on my Arc Audio amp. But I would say if you find clipping then just back it off a bit, slightly more than a hair (you like the exactness there?). If you don't have a way to find clipping of the signal from your deck then you need to invest a little bit more and get a DD-1. They say you can use the 3/4 rule but depending on the deck (boss in particular is the one place I have seen it) it might clip prior to 3/4 volume. Everything is just better with a DD-1. I say DD-1 because it is cheaper than an oscilloscope and it comes with a CD that has the tracks you need to do all this. Its worth the investment if you are planning on doing much with systems, and if you have a sundown amp you obviously are looking for loud and great sound so it would benefit you for your next system as well. We all know you will upgrade or get a new ride and need another, whatever the case may be get the DD-1 and you will be good.

Steve I'm just gonna throw this out there, you may already know, but tires with low air pressure do better in the sand. Obviously not helpful if you have no way to fill them back up so on your next truck install a couple little tanks and an air compressor. Comes in super handy. You can fill up your tires, rzr tires or a buddy's tires. They have smallish tanks that can be tucked out of the way. Just an idea. Like I said you may have already thought of it. Edit: I now see that I have obviously missed some pages, my bad. I guess I second what has been said.

Yeah I've had too many close calls with mine so I just never wear it anymore. I like my ring and what it represents but I also don't want to lose any fingers or hands or arms or life, so I figure not wearing it will be easier.

Well at 12v if you draw 60 amps that's like 720 watts. W=V×A. So it would only have to be like 69% efficient to put out 500 watts @12v and 4 ohms. (The 125.4). It all depends on efficiency of the components and the design. If is class A or B or AB or D or T, whatever. Also if there are any on board processors or protection circuits that take more current as well. It gets pretty complicated. Don't judge an amp by any one variable. Rating of fuses and efficiency can tell part of the story. But you just have to take their word for it. If it says sundown on it, no need to worry, you get what you pay for and then some. All the big daddy brands are the same. DC, DD... they don't mess around when it comes to trust. If they say it, that's because they will do it on their worst day.

3783.6. I dunno, missed the 5 and hit 7, no idea how thats possible so i figured it was a sign and just went with it.

I know I'm late. All sold out?

Looking good

Yep this is what I was going to say. Build a good ported box for two of them, probably the sundowns, and let it slam. It will be better.I have found that anytime I have been disappointed in equipment that most people recommend and use, it's because I screwed something up. So basically I'm saying you shouldn't be disappointed in those sundown subs on that alpine amp. So box is the issue here.

Any progress on that under-hung SQ coil set up?

Nice

No don't listen to krakin

Don't be a dick.

Allow it!

Land rover/range rover Land cruiser. I don't know why you would buy that as an off road toy though.
