  1. Hey guys,

    I appreciate some of the input from you in this thread, I just wanted to chime in on the matter of pricing for the new power wire lines...Skar Audio is not a direct to customer brand, we cater to acquiring new dealers that push the line locally, etc. Pricing is always going to be higher going this sales route over dealing with direct to customers via the internet, etc. Those dealers need to be able to sell our products to their customers and stand behind them, and having a large - respected - dealer network is our goal long term.

    We try to keep pricing reasonable for everyone using this sort of system, all while providing the highest quality products we can. I think you guys will be quite excited to get this new power wire in your hands :-)

    I actually understood that lol makes sense.

  2. Why are Crescendo amps so cheap? Price wise? I would much rather go with the BC3500 w/ the 0.5 ohm warranty but I'm curious to know what you all think about their amps.

    If I'm able to get the SK-2500.1D for only $500 then I'm getting it! And maybe the other if available when I have the money! Otherwise, I'll buy the second off these dealers. I was really hoping to run only one amp though. I hate the hassle of running two..

    Well, I own the Crescendo 3500 and the thing is solid as hell

    Have mine wired to .5 daily and it never skips a beat even if I clip it - always stays cool, never protects.

    Have you clamped it? Does it produce true wattage? What do you think you're getting at .5 ohms?

    they're a direct sale brand.

    skar, dc, sundown are dealer brands ;)

    Well that helps tremendously. :P Any idea how much the .5 warranty cost?

  5. I've heard the latter can handle the impedance but the former just simply can't. I know they both need big power so for the sake of conversation let us assume they do. Which will hold out longer or do the job at about half gain.

    My future build: (2) Skar ZVX 18's D2 wired in parallel @ 0.5 ohms

    Electrical: 370 amp Iraggi H/O Alt, Yellow Top front, XS Power D7500 back. (Any better ideas on the back battery support?) and Knu Koncepts 0ga.

    Unfortunately, due to Christmas aha, I only have the Yellow Top and one ZVX. Hopefully have everything by Feb if not sooner.

    Would love some ideas! This is all in a 2001 Impala.
