  1. So I have thisamp and thesecomponents that I'm going to add to my new setup.

    The problem is ,is that I would also like to use my old components since they still sound good, and work fine I might as well. That amp is rated at 40x4, and both components can take 70x4....so should I just run the front speakers (MB Quarts) at 100x2 and be careful with the gain, and the rear speakers off the HU?

    CLIFFS:

    -How will the MB quarts sound off that amp?

    -Will I blow them if I over power them by ~30 watts?

    -Should I just run it at 40 watts, under powering them by ~30 watts or will I be disappointed?

  2. Meeting up with a dude locally tomorrow to buy a PDX 1000.1 for $200. Good deal or not so good? I've seen them on eBay for like $300 so I thought this was very fair price.

    Anyways, I have some questions. I've heard many things about this amp, and I'm confused about the power ratings....It really does rated power at both 2 and 4 ohms? It won't play less loud at 4 ohms basically....if thats the case than I should wire my subs up to 4 ohms just to put less strain on my electrical.

    Also, I've heard these are a PITA to tune....my HU puts out only 2v preouts, so will this amp be hard to tune...should i get a line driver?

    And finally, what subs should I run on this? I want SPL and decent SQ too.....I was thinking a JL W7 13, but what if thats not loud enough. Maybe 2 DC level 3 12" but won't I be under powering them or are these amps under rated....I'm confused LOL

  3. For my next setup, I have narrowed it down to:

    - 1 Fi 15" Q D1 wired to 2 ohms on my Elemental Designs nine.1 In a custom 3-3.5 maybe 4 cubic foot box

    -2 Alpine Type R's wired to 2 ohms on my ED 9.1. Prefab 3.0 cubic box its good though ported 3/4 MDF ect

    The amp will be changed out soon after i get it setup to a Alpine MRP1000.

    My main goal is SQL. Whats louder 2 type R's 12" on 1000 rms or 1 15" Fi Q on 1000 RMS

    and also what puts more strain on my electrical a 2 ohm or 1 ohm sub amp load? or does it not make a difference.
