What ever happened to the coffin you installed? The one with the painted spots where the 10's were going?

But man look at the price tag, I got a set of Q compenents for a guy and at my cost there were EXPENSIVE!
do you know how much the guy just spent on that useless amp and sub?

thats why i said why go cheap on the high/mid range?

even then its still not going to be a nice bassy system,
the 10" inside the vehicle,solo is just going to sound real "boomy" and thats a bad thing in any case,
you want a solid punch,
that 10" will be to over worked trying to fill the inside of the car instead of the inside of the trunk to put out solid bass,
and once again its solo.
but then if you put it in the trunk it wont have enough room for the box to get the proper qtc

the only answer is two 10" that require and extremely small encloser space for max qts

even then you can bridge the chambers in the encloser and use polyfill to fool the woofers into thinking their in a bigger box then they really are.

thats the proper way to do it

dhd is die hard

were they dhd powercruiser's ?

yeah i think the same way you do as well but manufactures lie as well to sell more equip and some lie to win more competitions,

its very confusing but just compair

pyramid rated @ 400x2 max @ 2ohm
lanzar optidrive rated @ 100x2 rms @ 4ohm "which is basically 400x2@2ohm"

going by the specs the amps are at a tie,
the lanzar actually at a disadvantage because it really is not supposed to push 400x2@2
but the lanzar will still push more

how....why??????? you ask

because its lanzar's top amp and its used in competition,

so in a comp who will win ?
the amps are rated the same but the lanzar pushes more,

its very unfair but big manufacturers do it all the time

some companys sell through reputation which is built up from sound comps,
and some sell from the price tag and wattage claims on the amps

p.s. I also hate pioneer

here is my list of fav headunits from the ones i like best down

1- mcintosh
2- alpine
3- clarion
4- sony "would rank higher but anything with a sony laser reads cd's for ****,even in the portables, home units and computer drives"
5- kenwood "yes i would take a kenwood over a pioneer"

pioneer is just all about flash and pretty graphics,

give me a built in dsp,
3-way crossover on every output,
individual speaker level and crossover control
built in 7 band eq
low output front
low output rear
low output sub "not shared with rear like on pioneers"
opti link in
digital in
and aux in

and im happy
