Myst_erious Posted August 6, 2015 Report Share Posted August 6, 2015 Cool, I'll have to check those out. Thank you! Tough titty said the kitty when the milk went dry "Anchors aweigh! So what do you think of my little vessel? She's what we call a see-worthy. S-E-E, see with your eyes. I feel like my transport should be an extension of my personality. Voila. And this, this is like my little window to the world, and every minute's a different show. Now I may not understand it. I may not even necessarily agree with it.

reedal Posted August 6, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2015 Anyone ever ran pro audios off of head unit power? Some that have low RMS in particular? Just out of curiosity. My buddy already got the GTO's I suggested, so once he decides on the alpine HU he wants he's good to go. I just figure PA's have a high sensitivity so they would be a decent choice for low power supply SMD Tool Map https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/193176-smd-tool-map-new-november-2014/ Build log https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/197217-reeds-03-tahoe-hat-sqaq-singer-xs-shca-cockbox-80prs/?page=32 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
White Lightning Posted August 6, 2015 Report Share Posted August 6, 2015 An audiophile would notice the lack of dynamics, but as long as he don't abuse the volume knob thinking he's got 10,000 watts ... he should be fine.

reedal Posted August 6, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2015 I don't think you'd get much in dynamics just from head unit power anyways with any speaker.

White Lightning Posted August 7, 2015 Report Share Posted August 7, 2015 You'd be surprised what my 9980 can do ... I tune my front stage and image with headunit power alone. So at the moment while I'm working on my midbass section of the system, I'm running my entire front setup off of headunit power. Yes I can tell a big loss in dynamics and power, but the mechanics of stage and image is spot on ... So my Kenwood 9980 is powering my 5.25" component set in the dash and my midbass in the doors ... No, I do not have a final word on what the midbass will actually be, but I do know they will be in the doors ... either 8" drivers or 10" drivers. I'm trying to set up my front stage as a stand alone setup ... meaning no need for subs. We'll see what happens ...

I like that it can connect to the OBDII and give you info on your vehicle as well. I decided to suffice with the factory speakers for now, until I can get a cheap 4 channel or something. They're always posted where I am on Craigslist, and I'm a Craigslist fanatic. I figure waiting would be less work for me down the line as well because I have good days and bad days, mostly bad ATM.
