HaMSaMMiCH Posted October 13, 2009 Report Share Posted October 13, 2009 a t800-4, that way you have a little headroom.. Quote CAUTION! POOR INSTALLATION MAY SHORT BOTH YOUR SYSTEM AND WALLET Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buddlydudly8989 Posted October 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2009 ok so you think that will be enough to power two sets then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightshade Posted October 13, 2009 Report Share Posted October 13, 2009 If money is an issue I'd go with the 4004, but the 8004 is definately the better choice. You can even use the amp's onboard crossover to run the comps actively if you wanted to. I'd actually reccomend that, but you have to be careful cause you'll lose your tweeter protection that way.

Nightshade Posted October 13, 2009 Report Share Posted October 13, 2009 (edited) well money is not that big of a issue lol. i really appreciate your guys help..really dont know to much bout components bout active and what not lol so i guess it will be i good learning experince for me. trial and error right lol.. thats the way you learn well in my case it is. Active means that you don't use the crossovers that come with the component set and you use either an amp, deck, or seperate electronic crossover to seperate the frequencies with. When you just use the crossover box that comes with the comp set that is a passive setup. I'm running my Kicker RS65.2 comp set actively off of a Sundown sax50.4 and it sounds much better and cleaner than when I was running passively off of a Cerwin Vega Exl400.4 Edited October 13, 2009 by Nightshade Quote 2013 VW Jetta GLI 2.0 Turbo 1 Sundown Audio SCV2000 1 Sundown Audio X15 V2 1 XS Power D3100 Audio Control LC6i Stock Deck 146.4 sealed on the dash at 37hz 2001 Focus ZX3: RETIRED Team Sundown Audio, Team XS Power, 2 time NSPL Car 3601-Up Champion, 2 time NSPL Car Hardcore ChampionHighest NSPL Scores to date:154.3db on the dash sealed at 46hz, 156.2db in the kick at 46hz155.2db unofficial on dash at 43hz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gq85 Posted October 13, 2009 Report Share Posted October 13, 2009 A T8004 would be great but I would also look into the New Power T600-4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
