Stephen Dunnington Posted August 14, 2013 Report Share Posted August 14, 2013 I'm upgrading from 2 kicker dcvr's that were being fed around 300-400 RMS. I'm looking for A lot more power, I've heard 1200RMS and I still want more. Would you guys consider lets just say A single DC XL 12" ran of a DC 3.5 A higher end daily setup? chest breaking shit? Or I was interested in 2 12" XL's ran off a 5k for daily and maybe competitons if they're ever around in the MA area. The reason why I ask, is I could get a sweet setup done in a month compared to waiting 8 months. Would be setup in a Accord, sealed off. edit: Is 5k tolerable for long rides?

matt14 Posted August 14, 2013 Report Share Posted August 14, 2013 It all depends on what you want. I had my daily driver done with 3500ish rms on the sub, and around 500 to the mids/highs. Gonna be going up to 7000 rms on the sub and 750ish to the mids/high soon. 2006 GMC YukonPioneer HU SHCA ran throughout Crescendo BC3500 One 18 AA Mayhem in a 4th order ZED Levithian 6 channel Rainbow Dual 6.5 comps ran Activehttp://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/155628-matt14s-yukon-mayhem-in-a-4th-ordernew-amps-and-bats/page-3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87chevyboi Posted August 14, 2013 Report Share Posted August 14, 2013 lol this is a open ended question, the answer is answered by your own self. You can have 10,000 watts daily ifyour pockets and ears can handle it. Its all personal preference bro My build aka Snow White whats wrong with fat chicks? they are like mopeds, as long as your friends dont see you riding it, they are a blast! hahah I am dumb as a stump. I live in the south and we are all dumb here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goldeneye4564 Posted August 14, 2013 Report Share Posted August 14, 2013 i was once in that situation, and every time i upgrade i keep thinking nah it has to be louder next time. so just start off big. it will save you a lot of time! if you are like me lol. edit-- another example, if you have two systems one louder then the other, the louder one can always be turned down... and i dont listen to mine full tilt when i am driving all the time. I RREEALLY ANGRY WIT U PHOTOBUCKET. HAD TO USE DROPBOX NOW HOLYYYYYY. Wanna ride bikes?

DubNDodge Posted August 14, 2013 Report Share Posted August 14, 2013 You build up tolerance in a way. When I first put in my system, I would turn it down after awhile. Now I can go for hour long rides and have it not bother me.

Karkov Posted August 14, 2013 Report Share Posted August 14, 2013 All personal preference. If peoples ears can handle 20k-30k daily and they WANT to listen to it daily then to each their own. I know you're mainly asking what most people have for wattage with their daily setups but I think most of the people here listen to their equipment on some what of a regular basis (unless it's SOLELY for burping) but maybe not full tilt for long drives/hours EVERY DAY. However, I have close to, but not quite, 8k RMS running through my PURELY daily ground pounder mobile and I know I want MORE. I know there is folks out there that have WAY more than me too. Seems like maybe 1k-4k or less is about what the most common setup is for the average Joe who's life doesn't revolve around *Bass everyday* but still likes great sound and some bump Again, JUST MY OPINION 2007 Chevy Tahoe (SOLD) 12 ~ FI Audio X series 10" w/BP option 2 ~ DC Audio 5.0K @0.67 3 ~ DC Audio 5.0K @1.0 2 ~ PPI 3 way sets (not installed yet) 1 ~ RF T400-4, 1 ~ RF T600-2, 1 ~ RF T600-4 4 ~ CT Sounds 5.25" Strato comps (rear fill only) 1 ~ XS Power D4800 1 ~ XS Power D3400 8 ~ XS Power XP3000 160 stock alt, Mechman 370 Elite, 185 DC Power 320+ Sq.

mmets Posted August 14, 2013 Report Share Posted August 14, 2013 I am no expert in any way but I am not sure you can put the phrase "too much" and system, stereo, daily driver, etc in the same sentence. Too much girl, yes but never too much power. http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/177477-slowboring-07-trailblazer-build/Pioneer DEH-80PRSPRV 8MR400-NDY (eight) PRV TW350Ti (6)Sky High 1/0 OFC, 12 gauge and 8 gaugeTM Metalworkz battery terminals 120 sqft HushmatXS Power D3100 (6)Singer 350 Amp Alt Singer 320 (2)American Bass SQL3200 JL Audio JX360/4 Crossfire XS 8K (2) DC Audio XL 15s (6) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen Dunnington Posted August 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2013 ^^^ I was gonna say I know for some of you, their isn't such thing as too much. I'm obsessed with music already, and IN LOVE with bass, if I can slightly feel it, still puts a smile on my face. So I'm just going to go with the 5k, fuck it.

rockFord_Expedition Posted August 14, 2013 Report Share Posted August 14, 2013 The post is titled what is too much daily RMS. IMO there is no such thing as too much. Bass is one of those things that we get used to and our tolerance of the type of shit that takes the air out of your lungs grows. If you are like most of us, you will ALWAYS want to be louder than what you are. Is 5k tolerable for long rides? I assume you mean a true 5k on just your subs. In an accord I am not sure if your electrical will support everything that would be going on to feed your sub amp alone enough voltage/amperage to keep it running at 5kw (music is dynamic so it would vary, but that's another discussion) plus your other amp(s), and the vehicle. Some could tolerate it some wouldn't be able to. I have a buddy who would bail when I went full tilt with only about 1200w going to 3 12's and IMO that system left much to be desired. Sorry if I rambled too much but those aren't yes no questions across every scenario.
