The 600 watts per woofer is pretty underarrated when combined with the right box, port area and tuning of amp

any updates on this?

Just an update I briefly went over the Owners Manual with my installer and he got this remote turn on thing handled- lol

Mine is Hard wired to the back battery terminal I just asked about needing a remote with it as well.

So should I just have my installer tie into the remote lead of my nearest amp to the rear battery?

I just had my VM-1 installed in my car today. It looks great and definitely is a nice to watch as my voltage changes- lol. But here is my question when my installer put it in I told him to wire it to my rear battery distribution blocks so now when I shut off my car it stays on which is not a problem as for me being worried about it draining my batts. How will the Display hold up doing this?

Right and thats kinda what I was thinking but I didnt want to have a box tuned low that I couldn't maximize the low end and I definately believe in Audiocontrol processors. So thanks for the help

Right I understand that the 33hz chip is standard with the audiocontrol piece I was just trying to confirm. The only confusing thing is when I called and talked Audiocontrol they said to keep the standard 33hz chip in since my box was tuned to that. Maybe thats what the sq guys do but I don't know. Any insight on this?

I am currently building a system for my 93 Chevy Caprice. My substage is a Hifonics Colossus 3200 watts RMS amp on 2 XL 15'S M2. My box is right at 6.65 net after all displacements tuned to 33 hz. Here is my question I have a Audiocontrol EQS with a built in 33hz subsonic 18 db octave filter. Keep in mind this works on a chip and is not selectable. I have not hooked this system up yet because I am still buying all my electrical. My question is should I buy a different chip to go with 25, 30 hz or stick with the 33 hz subsonic? How low should I be able to play under tuning without risking damage to the woofers. I really want this set up to be a low end monster

I can see adding some eq to it but I would like to add the tweets still in my pillars to raise the sound stage higher, add more power and cone area and headroom. I would like to see that article by eric stevens you were just talking about

Well I haven't eq'd them... just raw power. I'm wondering. I just always want more.... Its the show off in me. And I have also went to alot bigger car than I had.... From a civic to a 93 Chevy Caprice. If I could judt buy another set of image hotns and fit them in there I would or a 4 ohm driver I could be happy

I have used some soundstream sst-05 in a couple of installs used with compomemt sets and passive crossovers. Did it sound good... Hell Yeah. Loud Yes Sir, But I want Great. I am gonna look at some of your suggestions. AS for EQ I have some options: I currently own a broke Audiocontrol eqs and am thinking about getting it rebuilt but really want to use a Audiocontrol three.2 in dash Eq. I had the older model in the late 90's and loved it. Does Anybody else have any input on this?

Okay I currently own a set of Image cd1e Horns. These horns are 8 Ohm and sound great but it isn't quite enough. What do you guys think about adding an 8 ohm supertweeter to help me get more power out of the amp and help in the upper range of the audio spectrum?

Okay I guess I deserved that..... jacka$$
