Right now the only thing they are really selling is JL and Alpine. They stopped selling rockford stuff awhile back. When I asked if they were going to sell PG they said they were looking into it. I hate the Addison store so I mainly go to the Plano store where my friend Frank is the manager. Which b...

In Dallas about the only non hack shop left is Earmark Car Audio. They were the #1 PG dealer in Dallas for years even after Car Toys started selling PG. Earmarks Quality work kept them at the top.

I saw that you got a dealer in Mckinney Tx. Have you tried to talk to Earmark Car Audio they use to be a big seller of Phoenix Gold stuff. Infact they still have the old power display in their stores.

THe W6's are dual 4ohm voice coils. Currently I'm running 2 ti 600.2 and 2 Jl 12W6 I have my subs wired 2ohm and then hooked to each and bridged. They are beating the crap out of my subs.

Hmmm... I would measure the resistance of all your new grounding points to make sure there aren't any weak connections. You might even want to try a dielectric grease on them. Have you set your amplifier gains by multimeter or by ear? Perhaps coming from the JL 1000/1 you are expecting the same out...

Stereo tries to kill truck

Need some help and thoughts. When I crank my system and it starts hitting the low bass notes the engine idle falls and it almost kills the truck. It never did this with my old system. Here is a break down of the old system and the new sytem. I've asked around and no one seems to have an idea other t...

50V (25V + 25V) bridged is ~600W into 4 ohms.

There is nothing special about these numbers, this is what the amp is rated to do.
Ok but I'm not hooked up 4ohms bridged. Right now I'm hooked up 2ohms bridged. So would it still be the same.

I would set it for 25V RMS on each channel, or 50V RMS bridged, using a 60Hz tone. But how do you know nothing else in your system is clipping? If it is, then you would need to resolve that issue first. 50 vac really right now I got it at 31.6 and it sounds pretty good and the sub isn't getting pus...

Heres the products JL audio 12W6v2 dual 4ohm voice coils wired one way its 8ohm and the other way its 2 ohm. Amp Ti 600.2 My thought is to wire the sub in a 2 ohm state then hook it bridged to the 600.2 Then set the gain for one of two ways sqrt(600*2)=34.63 sqrt(500*2)=31.62 Now my concern is that ...
