I was just curious because I figured why not run an amp at 2 ohms and get better efficiency with less strain than an amp with the same power at 1 ohm. I just thought I'd jot this down on here to see if there was another factor or something i didn't know about.

Sorry I wasn't paying attention when I typed it but I re-worded that part.

I was looking at these 4 amps and had a few questions. Here are the following amps Kicker zx1500.1, Rockford T 1500-1BD, Sundown 1500, Rockford T1000BD. I'll list the questions as follows.................ok the Rockford 1500 and Sundown are 1500-2000 watts at 1 ohm the Kicker is roughly the same but at 2 ohms. Now wouldn't the kicker be more efficient at the 2 ohms rather than the amps at 1 ohm and be less of a draw/strain on the electricals with around the same output? Why does the Rockford T1000BD have 1/0 inputs if the Rockford 1500 and the Kicker 1500 put out more power? Whats the usual output at 1 ohm on the T1000BD.

I just got my order yesterday. I'll post some pix when I find my camera. I started to solder some terminals on and I see what your talking about when you say heat it up a little and it'll be easier to bend. Overall it doesn't seem to be that stiff I mean when it came off the UPS truck where it was all day with temperatures in the teens, yea I was like holy shit is this hard but once I brought it in and it got room temp it was fine. I don't think it's bad for what I paid for it though

Hey Chevyboy I was wonderng what subs you run with your MTX amp and how do you like it?

I just ordered it this morning should be here tomorrow or monday. I just ordered a bunch of stuff from their site to start my system off. I'll post some pix when it it gets here though. I used a bunch of their products in the past and they are well worth the money.

Would the 300 be fine just to be safe though?

I just purchased a 0 gauge wiring kit from knukonceptz. It comes with my choice of fuses and they'll only give me a 250a fuse. I emealed them to see if they'll give me a 300a fuse anyway and they said no. They said that kit only takes up to a 250a fuse. The thing is I saw a Stinger 0 gauge kit with the same strand count (5145 or something like that) as the Knukonceptz and was wondering if I could just swap it with a 300? The amp I plan on running is the MTX92001 at 2 ohms would this be ok? BTW it's the KLM kit.

I don't have any pics or anything but back in 2003 I had a license plate that said G-Unit. I got that idea when 50 cent came out with the video "Wanksta" and had those black Hummers with the license plates that said the same thing.I thought it was cool at the time because I had a 2001 black Stratus RT and when I got the plate, I went out and got the windows tinted and the smoked light covers.

I was gonna go with a set of these 14x7's 100 spoke for 409 plus shipping,were these any good? http://www.carpartscoupons.com/search/site...m?companyid=202 Also do you have a link to zenith with prices?I don't mind payin extra for better quality.

Ah I see, thanks for clearing that up bro.Also would those stick out past the fender too far.I didn't want them to stick out too far due to the laws but I also don't like how some look flat on the car(meaning no depth to them).I was lookin for something in between.Oh and they will be the bullet knockoffs.

I was lookin for some advice on wire wheels.I plan on buying a set of 14's and needed some reference on which style to get.The car is a 1996 Oldsmobile Achieva, front wheel drive.Can anyone explain the difference between standard,reversed,fwd(I'm assuming front wheel drive)?

Don't know if the other reply went through but, even though the eyeball poping out is a classic it doesn't matter whats popin out I just love seein the Hoe in action torturing people. :^

If I ran that T10001 at 1 ohm or a Kicker zx1500.1 at 2 ohm,would I need 2 batteries or could I get away with an alt. upgrade and a yellow top under the hood?They are in the same price range but i feel more comfortable at 2 ohm,though I really am likeing the Fosgate.

I was looking into those.This will be a daily driver and I like to listen to it close to full volumes for good amounts of time .Will it stay cool if I beat on it?If it helps my other equipment is a Pioneer DEH-3800 and a Clarion eq. with a 7 volt output.

I'm gonna be ordering 2 SSD15"s(dual 2 ohm) with the copper coils and was wondering what amp you guys recommend to push these.They will be in a 6 cf. total(after sub,bracing,port displacemet) ported box but don't know what tuning freq. yet. My budget is 500-600.I was thinking Kicker zx1000.1 but wanted to run it by the pros first.

I knew it was him I just couldn't remember his name.I love old west coast rap.Thanks a lot man!

Does anybody know the name of the song in the video "chicken's caddy gettin down"?

Hello all, first and foremost I would like to introduce myself. My name is Tony,I'm 21,live in Youngstown Ohio, and I've been involved with car audio for about 4-5 years.Never competed never had any crazy setups. Currently I run a Pioneer DEH-3800 headunit, Elemental Designs Ed nine.1 @ 1 ohm, Cadence Super Triple X(800 watt rms- 1600 watt max),3.5 cf. slot port box tuned to 45hz, and it's all tied together with Knukonceptz wiring.Now this whole setup including the car is changing thanks to Mr. Meade. Second, Steve your website is great.Car audio being my passion, hobby and running across this site and seeing the things you do and done I totally respect you and all of your work. I think you pretty much heard everything but the work and detailing you do is just insane.Mad props Steve(standing ovation). As for what I said in the first paragraph because of Steve I'm buying a new car and a new set of subs. P.S. Sorry if I posted this in the wrong thread.
