damn... i wish I could nominate my car. but my current subwoofers are rated at 2250 (3 x 750W RMS) and I got 4 full range speakers each at 65 W RMS totalling 260W.

If only I could nominate my old build that was only 860W lol

Can your setup be bassless?

I was told it needs a substage.

Doesn't matter what your speakers are rated. What amps are you using?

Ok, My box wasn't covered but now it is. I am so happy they are finally running a SOTM for the budget/lowpower systems. I am running an Alpine MRV-F250 only with channels 1+2 on the subs and 3+4 on the rear 6x9's the front 6.5 Co-Axials are running off the HU, which is 25 watts total I believe, does not exceed 50. I have a stock alt, but never get any dimming in power or any signs of voltage drop that you can tell with out a voltage meter. So I can't say exactly what the voltage is exactly but you can get a figure as to what my stages are seeing. I have the 6x9s wired straight @ 4 ohms and the subs are wired down to 2 ohms. Here is the amps specs:

- RMS Continuous Power output (@ 12.0V 20 Hz to 20 kHz)

25 watts x 4 @ 4 ohms, 0.08% THD

35 watts x 4 @ 2 ohms, 0.3% THD

70 watts bridged into 4 ohms, 0.3% THD

- Dynamic Power (@ 14.4V, 20 Hz to 20 kHz)

40 watts x 4 @ 4 ohms, 0.08% THD

50 watts x 4 @ 2 ohms, 0.3% THD

100 watts bridged into 4 ohms, 0.3% THD

Total RMS: 120-180 (Depending on voltage, and not incorperating imdependence rise)

Here are some videos of the system. With this small power I can get my hatch to flex, and a small amount of steering wheel dancing. They are older but the system is still slammen!

I am so happy to see this one this month, and I wish everyone the best luck!

I would like to run this month... 300 watts is a lot less than some others in here, but I know I built it right. I may not have spent as much as others in here but I think that's the appeal of my system. My build link is in my sig. Hope self-nomination is kosher here :pardon:
