I've heard a two of them in a friend's car. I was shocked at how much power they made! The amp gains were all the way down and used a Zapco processor to control the voltage inputs of the amps. I could swear that they are better then some PG offerings ;)

The utter lack of deadening on your car was surprising. I'll bet it sounds a hell of a lot quieter driving down the road now! Like a luxury yacht! Did you deaden up the firewall as well? Actually it had more then I expected :D the car was much louder then I'm used to. The Lexus is a much much quiet...

Thanks for the compliments guys. I wish I have two or so weeks to work on it. Looks great so far! As for competition and IASCA install judging, I would suggest looming the power wire front to back if it's still accessible. That will be a key focus point of the install judge. Even if it seems redunda...

New car Install! :D

I just picked up a 09 Honda Fit Sport to replace my old Lexus for my daily driver and to compete in IASCA. So far I've been mulling over mounting locations for the amps and subs. As for the front speakers, im planing on going 3way active with mids/tweets on A pillars and Midbass on kicks. These pict...

Is this the model you have, or this is what your suggesting? DSP= digital signal processing?? I can't tell which is the higher end model the 726e or the 6620?? No, I switched back to the AVN6600.

stay away from the 505. I bought it and used it for a month! Horrible IMO I switched back to the Eclipse and it was night and day in both user interface and navigation, it totally blows the Alpine W505/BB2 out of the water. This Eclipse has pretty much all the bells and whistles that you'll need (as...

Pricing info for Tantrum 600.4

Anyone know what the going rates for a 600.4? Im thinking of running 2 in a 3 way+sub set-up <planing to compete with these amps> :) Anyone have any laying around? There is one on ebay at the moment but its broken. There's a good one too, but the seller is asking too much for it... I think....unless...

I think I'll do a review as well. I just slapped it in a sealed prefab enclosure, and its much more smooth, BUT I don't believe its worth rebuilding a larger permanent enclosure for. It works pretty well in a tiny enclosure IMO. In my review I will compare the sub in my prefab and permanent enclosur...

i noticed a big difference in mine after about 15-20 hours of normal playing. Same here! It has a nicer punch then the Xmax that it replaced. This is in a .65 cuft enclosure with a 2125. I may have to build a larger enclosure tho :? I thought 1.25 cuft was optimal. I had to add mass inside of my bo...
