Wood Posted October 31, 2014 Report Share Posted October 31, 2014 This is not only the most expensive door speakers I have ever bought but the fist set of components I will be installing. I imagine the difference between going from a Rockford Fosgate power 6x8 in the doors to these will be night and day. I am planing on powering them with a Fosgate Punch 800.2. Question: How do you DD-1 the amp when you have a lot of head room so you dont over power the components? I dont have a DD-1 yet but that is on my list to get next. Nice choice on components! I'm running 2 sets of the HSK165s myself and trust me, you've entered a whole different realm of SQ ... Also, I'm no expert or nothing, but when I set gains for my mid/highs and I have headroom to spare, I usually set gains at 0. You will have a nice clean signal full tilt setting it there! 2011 Nissan Altima aka Red Ruby HEADUNIT: Pioneer AVH X2700BS ELECTRICAL: -Singer 230a -Northstar gr34 -(2) Northstar SMS220 w/ Custom Terminals from 12V Metalworkz -100% Welding Cable FRONT STAGE:-(2 Sets) Hertz HSK165 -Hertz HSK130 -Ampere Audio 125.4 SUB STAGE: -(3) Sundown Audio SA REV2 12's -Ampere Audio 3800.1 V2 MISC (NON AUDIO RELATED): -Interior & Exterior Lights LED -Gloss Black Roof (PAINTED) -15% Front, 5% Rear Tint -Roof Spoiler -20" TSW Snettertons (20x8.5 front, 20x10 rear) -Custom Projector Retrofit (FX-R 3.0, 6.5k HID, Morimoto Mini H1 (faux projector), Quad Starry Night Halos) ----- COMING SOON!! -Aftermarket Fog Lights -Custom Painted Engine Covers My Build Log: http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/169869-woods-2011-altima-aka-red-ruby-new-video-more-updates/page-109 Retrofit Build Log: http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/185787-hid-projector-retrofitting-diy-by-wood/#entry2765346 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrionStang Posted October 31, 2014 Report Share Posted October 31, 2014 Use the 0db track. Trust me, they will be plenty loud. Also, I suggest starting the tweets out on the -2 att on the passive crossover. SMD Super Seller My Feedback Thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hotdog Posted October 31, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2014 The 800.2 is rated at 240x2 @ 4ohm. I know people have put 200 watts to these components. Think It will still be save with a 0db track? I want these babies to last.

Hotdog Posted November 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2014 Ok Ken, I will set it with t 0db track. Will wait until I get a SMD DD-1 so I can do this proper. Couple more items today. Knukonceptz Battery terminals. What I like about them is they allow you to integrate the factory wiring to the terminal without cutting wires and allows me to hook up my 1/0 wire. And a picture with the top post adapter for the factory wiring. Then I picked up another 25ft of 0 gauge wire to run a negative run front to back and for doing the BIG 3 upgrade. Dont have much more to get at this point. I can see the light at the end of the tunnel.

bcbrassard Posted November 2, 2014 Report Share Posted November 2, 2014 I take you dont have a garage? Sucks having to work on shit outside! In the summer i dont have the time, so i have to buy up and prep everything i can to use my brothers garage for like 5 days straight. Turns out to a 18 hr a day marathon to get the next round of upgrades done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
