also, I got the subs last night, found out their dvc but no clue on the ohms. my buddy couldn't find a model number but if anyone is familiar with Memphis audio subs and could maybe tell which it could be by some pictures I can email it to you.

I appreciate all your help. Ill Be sending you a pm soon with some more questions but for components/ all the necessary highs ill need, you think one set in the front and some good mids in the back will Be all I need? the esv is a long, big mofo on the inside. haha

.

hahah I may have to pass on that sir I have a rf550x also that came with eveything that I'll end up selling since I'm going to use the diamond audio. all of this is getting picked up tomorrow and it'll be at the shop for an estimate Monday and I'll be able to tell y'all if it's a svc or dvc and if it's two or four ohms for the subs. I'm waiting on a reply from eric with mechman so I can have that ordered. hopefully everything can be ready to go in a month bc I might fly home for four nights and it'll be nice to hear it in action. what kind of components do you recommend? and I think I know the answer to this so try not to drill me to bad but a four channel amp, will each channel control like one channel does the front left component, another for the front right, rear left and rear right? or does one channel control the front and another control the rear. thanks yall!

can anyone recommend components that won't break the bank in my caddy

ohhh, when i said loud and clean earlier man i meant do you recommend some components that were that, and reasonably priced. my mistake on my wording. and yep, see, dynamat. haha. thanks for helping. ha, any chance youll be in the clarksville/nashville tn area and could just do this install for me and make some money? lol

sounds good. i'll for sure hit him up. and what do you mean our amps can't be loud? i'm a little confused. and the reason i'm having a shop do it because my skills of installing are very minimal..i've ran wires to do the installs in a 94 camaro when i was 16, which is probably one of the easiest cars to me to do, a 87 k5 blazer, and my 03 f150 i have. and this escalade with the nav, back up camera, flip down monitors i'm a bit intimidated with the electronic stuff to it, and because of how much this truck cost me. and because of time since ill only be home for a month and lack of help because no one i know knows car audio and i also dont want to remove the headliner for the dynamax

do you know where the best place to order a mechman alt would be for price wise? and thanks, never even thought about that with the rebuilding part. and ill probably use that diamond for my mids and highs..any you recommend that won't dent the wallet much but are loud and clean? and i should find out in the next couple days the exact specs on the subs when my buddy opens up the box and finds out the model number..i'm currently in kuwait right now doing contracting work so i'm doing all this from across the world. just trying to get everything done before i go home in march for my vaca..i rolled in the caddy 100% stock except for 5% tint all around when i was home in july and want to have everything done up for march. but it didnt make much sense to me for someone to run a 4 channel amp on the subs. but i wasnt for sure since i'm by far no ca expert. thanks again!

i'm doing the battery/alt upgrade regardless but you're saying dont even bother with the caps with the dual batts and alt?

also, if yall can recommend what i do for the alternator..the shop suggested a shop that'll rebuild mine to pull 300 amps or would it be better to buy one. as far as electronics go, i dont plan on ever doing anything crazy..just the components, it already has two factory drop down screens and nav and such so outside of this set up nothing more. thanks again!

hey yall, i'm pretty new to all this, just always had my mtx 801d amp and a L7 12 but i just bought a 08 escalade esv and a buddy of mine bought a 2000 esky that came with a setup that he's selling me for just $400 and wanted yalls opinions on it and what i should do with it all or change. i'm getting 8 memphis audio 12s, pretty sure it's the power reference series which are rated at 250rms, a diamond audio D7-104 amp that was apparently powering the subs, 2 capacitors, and a RF 550x amp that i'll probably use when i decide to go with components in the future. I plan on using this stuff for the time being since i'm doing other things to my truck first which include 26s, 3/4 drop, and big brakes but just wanted to see what yall thought of this set up and what should be changed or did instead of how it currently is. I'm also going to have two yellow top batteries and a bigger alternator when all this is being installed by a local audio shop. thank you for yalls help!
