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$$

What frequency is good to tune at?

I see DC Audio recommends .8 cubes net for a level 2 8" woofer. I have 2 of these and am looking for the loudest daily box in a trunk car on about 800 watts rms. Does anybody have any additional input?

I've ran a couple of the A7 amplifiers and they are strong, do rated, run.5 ohm, built like a tank and no more power hungry than any other amp in its class. In my opinion they are in the same league as Sundown, DC Audio amps

at windshield was ripplin like a fat girls a$$ hit from the back

Yes Rob 9515 I've been looking for a more complete line to sell and that other Brand I was selling just wasn't keeping up with the times and with DC Audio I can offer more than 2 mono amps -lol. If I could just get you to switch your.....

Thank you Thorshammer..... I can't wait to load my wall with these m2 woofers and get loud like you.... jk lol

I wanted to take a second to introduce myself. My name is Josh Rash aka "The Mobile Music Madman" and I have been building Car Audio Systems since I rocked an Alpine 2 shaft cassette deck with a punch 45 and MTX Terminator 15 with my custom ping pong table box thrown in my back seat (and yes I screwed it together green side out). Since then I have worked in the business in various capacities Since 1998 and am proud to announce that I am Now A PROUD Retailer of DC Audio for Central Illinois. I am on the forums often and am easy to get ahold of if you need anything big or small give me a call at 217 303 6075 Thanks, Josh Rash "Mobile Music Madman" 217 303 6075

Thanks for the help tip n tell.

and the demand would be super limited

Did you swap out your ports or were you tuned to 30hz the whole time. The reason Im being nosy is that I just walled my civic ready for 4 15's with like 16 cubes tuned to 35 hz. Im thinkin I'm gonna run level 3s on 3500 watts?
