AlbertGonzalez Posted June 23, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2014 sorry for not responding to my own post lol but I've been looking at some Zapco dc amps and i think it will be good for a sq with a 2-way active set up. I was thinking of using a 750.2 for the mid bass and a 200.2 for tweets but I'm not to sure if the amps are worth the money i really like the DSP option.

Robert8252 Posted June 23, 2014 Report Share Posted June 23, 2014 Closest I got to sound quality was a Audison 2.9LRx which was probably the one amp I wish I never sold and I ran an Audison LRx 5.1k on a set of Mille components and it's the best sound I've ever heard. Only heard a few true sound quality installs and I was more than happy with mine but I'm still a basshead and had two 10" hertz hi energy subs to make things rattle. Most people don't actually want a true SQ system IMO at least. They just want clean sound that gets loud. Speaker install has a lot more to do with the end result than the equipment. 2013 F150 Crew Cab Old Build Log Feedback 2013 F150 Equipment - Some Awesome Stereo Sound Making Stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would love to hear an SQ system, or at least really close to a true SQ system. I'm running Infinity Kappa 6.5 components and 6x9's rear deck fill off a Kenwood XR400-4. IMO, and many others who have listened to it, the amp/speaker combo I have sounds amazing. I've put videos up on YouTube showing off my SoundQubed HDS3 subs, and the only questions I ever get back are "what kind of tweeter, or what kind of mid/highs you running?" If OP was to get on Amazon, he could get my mid high setup for @500.00/give or take a few dollars. Now, I want more "loud, but clear," so I bought a SoundQubed Q4-120 and a pair of AudioQue/SQ 4 way 6x9's and a set of SQ super tweets. Problem is, I don't know where I'm going to install all this! For the OP, the Kenwood is a Class D amp, it's very small, but it's a power house for what it is. My speakers don't distort and they get loud as hell! Just make sure when you buy your components, make sure you will have your final wiring down to a 2ohm load. Gets you another 25RMS out of each channel. Hope this helps a little, as I know there are MANY better Sound Quality amps out there. I just don't feel like dropping 1500.00 on a mid/high amp...

But I'd be game, wouldn't mind hearing yours either. And I would advise against 2 ohm if we are talking SQ. Go 8 ohms if you can in fact "Clipping" is the biggest forum boner now.

But that does not mean that there will be any "weak points" on my lower end spectrum by any means ... I believe it. I just haven't retuned or done anything different since I sold them, since another is going in it's place. Plus, I need to make sealed pods for these, midbass isn't spectacular free-air. What are you using for mid-bass? Edit: Holy OT talk Batman. My fault. "Clipping" is the biggest forum boner now.
