teamace24 Posted July 20, 2011 Report Share Posted July 20, 2011 (edited) Getting ready to upgrade my current audiopipe 1500 to something like an ap 3000d or a hifonics brz2400.1, open to any other amp suggestions under $400 but have to be 2400rms or better. Problem is my highs are lacking now even with my two 15 cvx ported on 1500rms total. I am running diamond audio hex 6.5 components and only have a front stage so a total of two tweeters and two 6.5 mids and the crossovers. Im dead set on selling my components since these are the model hex that had problems with the mids having NO MIDBASS and the tweets being super harsh. Question is since i have a cerwin vega exl 400.4 that puts out 60 rms x 4 at 4 ohms and like 120 rms x 4 at 2 ohms, i need to know what components i should get that are reputably very loud and nice sounding but mainly very loud highs, i dont care much about having great midbass since i cross my subs pretty high at around 100hz, i rather my highs be very loud enough to handle the ap 3000 rms amp. Also i might be able to upgrade my amp to say 150 rms per channel 4 ohms. Thanks budget is around $200 no more.

teamace24 Posted July 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2011 Amp is out of my budget but if i had to get more power i would get one around 150rms at 4 ohms. Here are the specs of my amp am i looking at this right and maybe see that i can use my amp bridged to run 1 set of components in my front stage no rear? or is this spec just for subs? CHANNELS: 4 ◦RMS @ 4 Ohms = 60 x 4 ◦RMS @ 2 Ohms = 100 x 4 ◦RMS @ 4 Ohms = 200 x 2 Bridged Quote 1st Setup(SOLD):2007 GMC YukonPioneer Avic F90bt Audiocontrol Epicenter2 Audioque SDC2.5 15 subs8.7 cubes at 37hz build DONEAudioque 1200d (Audioque 1200d Sold, similar performance to my ap1500)Diamond Audio Hex 6.5 Mids n TweetsCerwin Vega Exl 400 4 channel Bridged(also have MTX 4004 not being used)1 Run of power Knu Fleks 4 Gauge2 Cheap stock Battery setup2nd Setup (SOLD):2007 GMC YukonPioneer Avic F90bt Audiocontrol Epicenter2 15 Kicker cvx (maybe two SA 15 in future)7 cubes net tuned at 34hzAlphasonik Old school 1600rms (ap 1500d sold GREAT Budget amp)JBL 6.5 Power Series Components, Infinity Kappa 6.5 3 ways, and 2 Kicker KS Tweets (LOUD)Cerwin vega exl4001 run knu Fleks OFC 0 gaugeBig 3 done1 Odyssey 1500, 1 optima yellow top d31 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teamace24 Posted July 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2011 Was researching CDT never had experience with them so anybody know anything about them. Do they get super loud, enough to not get drowned out by 2500-3000rms?

matt14 Posted July 21, 2011 Report Share Posted July 21, 2011 I run that same set of cdt's. They're alright, gonna upgrade to dual sets of maybe crescendos in my front doors and a set in the rear doors.

They're alright, gonna upgrade to dual sets of maybe crescendos in my front doors and a set in the rear doors. Can you let me know what model crescendos you are looking at? Also given the same power will the cdt be a lot lower in output than the crescendos? I just want highs that would keep up with 2500-3000 rms and no rear stage. I do have room in the stock tweeter pods to add 1 more set of tweeters but im just looking for 1 set of components in the front stage. Thanks.
