  1. damn it... I need to rethink this. Can I run the 2 8" on 1 channel, 4 6.5" on 2 channels, and tweeters on another channel?

    I really didn't want to buy another amp, at least yet. and I would like to run and 8 and 2 6.5" per door but if it comes down to it, I'll scrap that idea

    Not really a good idea, unless you want mono audio. Curious though, why are you so set on that setup? Trying to make mickey mouses out of speakers? :P

  2. You say you're running active with 3 different drivers, but only 4 channels. How does that work? Are you planning on putting the 6.5's and 8's on the same channel? If so, I would advise against it, and instead just run two 8's or three to four 6.5's... Or you can get another 2 channel for a total of 6 channels (but there's really no point in that, the sundowns aren't great for midbass IIRC, don't quote me on that though).

    yeah, I wanted to run 2 6.5 and 8 on 1 channel. If you don't mind, what's the reason on you to advise against it?

    Well, to be honest I'm not 100% why. I know I've asked about this a couple times and seen it asked multiple times, and the answere is always no, don't run different drivers on the same channel. But I THINK it mainly because, being that they're different drivers with different specs, they're going to respond differently at any given frequency, making it basically sound like ass. Also, I just don't see the point. Why do you want to run an 8 and two 6.5's if they're going to be crossed at the same point? Just using all 6's or all 8's should accomplish the same thing.

    And I was wrong about the midbass thing... must have been confusing them with another driver.

  4. Man you just missed the Steam sale haha.

    If you're into single player games and haven't played these yet, I really enjoyed Just Cause 2, Borderlands, and Minecraft. All three I'd say have decent replay value. I know minecraft sounds kinda lame, but it's probably THE most addicting single player game I've ever played, and now that there's tons of mods and online servers, the possibilities are endless. There's also Portal. If you haven't played that, I'd say that's somewhat of a necessity.

    If you're looking for something you can play over and over for an extended period of time, there's always WoW, and pretty much any online FPS. I don't personally like them, but a lot of people seem to love TF2, LoL, and Killing Floor.

    Other popular games I haven't seen mentioned: Assassin's Creed, Skyrim, DiRT, Amnesia, Bioshock, Fallout. There's more, just depends on what you like.

  5. Take a class in electricity, or just a physics class, and then come back. You are wrong, period.

    ...my p1000.1bd is rated to run 1k rms at 1ohm...well it was benched at over 12xx rms and runs NO FUSES!

    No fuses? All that means is your amp isn't protected. Did you happen to read the part of the manual that said you need a 140A in line fuse before the amp? Using the rule of thumb, the most it would put out, then, is 1400, higher than your 1200.

    kenwood amp tested....rated to be 500 rms at 4 ohm bridged...ran 480 at ohm rms with a single 40amp fuse...I mean I can go on and run some more amps down to my buddy and they can get run as well, but at this point I don't see the point in it....

    I would like to see proof of this one. Please do test more amps and be sure to take videos.

  6. Wow, no way I would ever buy from them, did you even read the page?

    I especially like this part, "This AMP is a class A/B which is another reason why we like it, you can play all the music: bass, mids and highs, not just the bass like class D amps."

  7. I cant make a Sundown vs Obsidian thread can I? I want to pick which sub Im going with before anything else

    Those are two differently priced subs, and I think you'll be happy with either. You can go with the more expensive one and get better quality, or just go with the cheaper one.

    2) subs dont output watts

    Sure they do, in the form of kinetic energy (moving air), and of course heat.

  8. ...so an amp with 2 30amp fuses makes 600 watts max apparently lol.

    Sorry, but this is absolutely true. Of course it's just a rule of thumb, just an estimate. If you want to be accurate, you have to take voltage and efficiency into account. This rule of thumb is assuming a voltage of about 14 and efficiency of about 70%. Let's say those two numbers ARE accurate for a given amp with 2 30A fuses, then 600W WOULD be the absolute most it could give to the speakers. It's simple physics.

  9. Lol, if there's anyone that wants stricter gun laws, it's definitely not cops. Every cop I've ever known has been a huge gun fan, not only that, but they're smart enough to realize gun laws don't really affect criminals. I'm gonna go out on a limb and say this guy hasn't so much as had a conversation with an officer. I'd also have to say he probably didn't think this through very well. Imagine if the police did go on strike, all the crime that would be committed. All that blood would be on his hands.
