graham0599 Posted March 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2014 I already own the 8's though. I'm also considering a Crescendo C1100.4 plus a separate 2-channel for the tweets.

graham0599 Posted April 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2014 Well I recently picked up a crescendo 2k and swapped out both Hifonics amps for the crescendo just to test it. I'm looking at going to a single 3k-3.5k amp, probably crescendo. But currently I'm leaving the 2k in there. I did put it at .25ohm just to try it, pretty close to having the 1600's in there. Amp did protect though once I pushed the volume too much. I'm putting it at 1ohm for now though and I'm gonna sell the 1600's My 350z build- http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/174424-2008-350z-build/page-2?hl=%2B350z+%2Bbuild#entry2605678 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smoove Posted April 10, 2014 Report Share Posted April 10, 2014 I like the swap. I'd take a Crescendo over a Hifonics any day. Not that I think Hifonics is or bad. Just think the name is lame and the names if the amps is lame. I have thought the names were lame since 91 so its not a new hate. any pics of the installed crescendo 2 Team Fi 15's v1 2 DD M5's 970amps of Alt 6th order blowthroughThe truck Blowthrough build : http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/155555-smooves-1996-chevy-ext-cab-c1500-slow-build/The 350z build : http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/170694-smooves-2003-nissan-350z/ My FB page https://www.facebook.com/pages/Smooves-Car-Audio-and-performance/719746144805343 Team Fi Audio http://www.ficaraudio.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
graham0599 Posted April 15, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2014 I could get some later My 350z build- http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/174424-2008-350z-build/page-2?hl=%2B350z+%2Bbuild#entry2605678 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
graham0599 Posted May 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2015 Ok guys so I'm going to be putting some time back into this build finally. Before I changed my mind too much, lack of funds, no time, just life came. Now though I'm putting time back into it. I have done a few things in the meantime 1. switched out the "RCA's", it was a good idea but they were crappy build and had problems 2. Built an amp rack for the 2k 3. installed a cheap 2-channel to run some 6x9's I have on a switch, mainly for when i park somewhere and want to play music Goals: 1. One of my tweets broke so I called crescendo the other day to figure something out 2. Get a 3.5k amp or something close to that power, just waiting on a good deal 3. Replace all RCA's so they match 4. Just over-all wire tidying 5. upload pics My 350z build- http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/174424-2008-350z-build/page-2?hl=%2B350z+%2Bbuild#entry2605678 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
graham0599 Posted July 20, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2015 Well I'm bringing this build back. 1. I got my RCA's switched to a Monster RCA, it was used and possibly damaged, but have some alt whine now, going to probably throw out that RCA and replace with something better. Suggestions? 2. Amp rack is built for the 2k, Probably going to extend the legs on it so I can mount the 2-channel upside on the bottom of the rack. Right now it's just kinda wedged in there and padded, pretty ghetto i know. 3. Received my 5m RGB LED strip kit. Going to be installed in the floorboards, trunk, and where ever else i decide. 4. Waiting on 5m 5630 of pure white LED strips. Going to wired in trunk, floor board, and where ever else, wired in with doors, trunk so they automatically turn on when opened. I've needed more light when getting in at night. 5. Fixed my tweet. I had called Crescendo late one night and they called back promptly the next morning. Offered to replace the tweet for super cheap, good service. I ended up soldering and fixing it, so I didn't end up needed the replacement. Shoutout to Crescendo though. Needs: 1. small gauge wire for the leds 2. pick up my iron and solder 3. New RCA's, need suggestions. 4. Still wanting to upgrade to 3.5k, waiting on a good deal, hopefully trade plus cash Amp rack should be done today My 350z build- http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/174424-2008-350z-build/page-2?hl=%2B350z+%2Bbuild#entry2605678 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
graham0599 Posted July 20, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2015 I'm really excited to get going on this again. I've missed having projects. Unfortunately money has been the biggest issue. Being in college isn't cheap. Someone feel free to start a college/audio fund for me . Should be making some progress now though.

reedal Posted July 21, 2015 Report Share Posted July 21, 2015 I use the SHCA RCA's. Not expensive, no noise/whine, thick shielding. I like them a lot.
