|
Bronze Member Username: DannyboyyPost Number: 65 Registered: Jun-06 | why should i get a different amp? |
|
Gold Member Username: Chaunb3400Huntsville, Alabama U.S. Post Number: 7826 Registered: Jul-05 | nope bassman i have 4 crystal comp x2's also why are u getting a 2 channel amp dan??? |
|
Gold Member Username: Dustin3Tigard, Or U.S. Post Number: 1616 Registered: Oct-05 | whats their website? and when r u gonna post pics!! |
|
Gold Member Username: Chaunb3400Huntsville, Alabama U.S. Post Number: 7827 Registered: Jul-05 | http://crystalmobilesound.com/subwoofers.htm as soon as those sundowns come out... |
|
Bronze Member Username: DannyboyyPost Number: 66 Registered: Jun-06 | because both channels can be wired into 1 ohm and put out like 700-800 rms per channel. just easier i guess. and if not i can bridge into 1 channel and have like 1400 rms @ 2 ohms. why is this bad? |
|
Gold Member Username: Dustin3Tigard, Or U.S. Post Number: 1617 Registered: Oct-05 | i like those. lol. couldnt afford them though. what are the subdowns....dont see them |
|
Gold Member Username: Chaunb3400Huntsville, Alabama U.S. Post Number: 7828 Registered: Jul-05 | k, dan ur amp is not 1ohm stable *bridged* so u would only be sending each sub 250rms.... and if u bridge it...its still only 500rms..thats all..... whats ur budget for an amp.... and bassman http://www.sundownaudio.com/ look for the SAZ 1500 |
|
Gold Member Username: Chaunb3400Huntsville, Alabama U.S. Post Number: 7829 Registered: Jul-05 | also the subs are not that much like 300-400 |
|
Gold Member Username: Dustin3Tigard, Or U.S. Post Number: 1618 Registered: Oct-05 | oh. ur talkin bout the amp? i thought the subs. thats a nice price. where did u hear bout them? |
|
Bronze Member Username: DannyboyyPost Number: 67 Registered: Jun-06 | i know its 1 ohm stable per channel and bridged its 2 ohms. and has an average rms output of over 1000. and each channel will be putting out 525ish but im buying a bigger amp soon like 700-800 rms per channel. my budget is about 400, if you could find me a nic amp that would be great! |

Gold Member Username: Chaunb3400Huntsville, Alabama U.S. Post Number: 7830 Registered: Jul-05 | this http://www.rockfordfosgate.com/products/product_details.asp?cat_id=2&series_id=7 &family_id=23&item_id=95241&locale=en_US ^^^IF that is ur amp then it is not putting out 500 per channel...its not a 1000watt amp its a 500watt amp so around 250 per channel |
|
Bronze Member Username: DannyboyyPost Number: 68 Registered: Jun-06 | i know but RF is very underated. ok got it go here and look at the rated vs. actual power of the RF amplifiers. http://www.rockfordfosgate.com/products/amp_power_output.asp |
|
Gold Member Username: Chaunb3400Huntsville, Alabama U.S. Post Number: 7831 Registered: Jul-05 | i no rf is kinda underrated but no way they are selling 1000watt amps and stamping 500watts on them..thats stupid also remember a company will do anything for a sale..until i see a test sheet i will not believe that.. how many and how big are ur fuses on that amp |
|
Gold Member Username: Dustin3Tigard, Or U.S. Post Number: 1623 Registered: Oct-05 | i highly dought that its says 500 bridged, but really does 1024 bridged... |
|
Bronze Member Username: DannyboyyPost Number: 69 Registered: Jun-06 | there is 1 100 amp fuse |
|
Bronze Member Username: DannyboyyPost Number: 70 Registered: Jun-06 | its true its a monster its huge and produces moster bass. |
|
Gold Member Username: Dustin3Tigard, Or U.S. Post Number: 1625 Registered: Oct-05 | so... |
|
Bronze Member Username: DannyboyyPost Number: 71 Registered: Jun-06 | my birth sheet that came with it says 1057 im looking at it right now. |
|
Gold Member Username: Chaunb3400Huntsville, Alabama U.S. Post Number: 7832 Registered: Jul-05 | u no what i bet those are peak...i bet that is the avg they where able to play b4 they went up in smoke |
|
Bronze Member Username: DannyboyyPost Number: 72 Registered: Jun-06 | no its rms... it says rms right next to the 1057. i dont know why they rated it at 500 but look at the t3002 it says like 300 rms but puts out over 800. the gain on my amp is wierd. it doesnt really do anything until like 2/3 of the way up then it getts really touchy and i had my sub bottom out when i was barely turning it. |
|
Gold Member Username: Dustin3Tigard, Or U.S. Post Number: 1627 Registered: Oct-05 | ^^ ur prolly right. b/c no comapany will underrate their amps that much. anyways, your amp would never put out that much power anuways |
|
Bronze Member Username: DannyboyyPost Number: 74 Registered: Jun-06 | ya thats what i thought until i bought one. its alot bigger than i enticipated. and it takes 1/0 gauge wire. RF is really ierd underating their amps that much. |
|
Bronze Member Username: DannyboyyPost Number: 75 Registered: Jun-06 | wierd** |
|
Gold Member Username: Chaunb3400Huntsville, Alabama U.S. Post Number: 7837 Registered: Jul-05 | "no its rms... it says rms right next to the 1057" where i dont see it........  |
|
Bronze Member Username: DannyboyyPost Number: 76 Registered: Jun-06 | and look at the msrp on it. $600, i mean who would pay 600 retairl for a 500 watt amp. you can get them off ebay for like 250 but still. |
|
Bronze Member Username: DannyboyyPost Number: 77 Registered: Jun-06 | no on my birth sheet. |
|
Gold Member Username: Chaunb3400Huntsville, Alabama U.S. Post Number: 7839 Registered: Jul-05 | can u take a pic..... |
|
Bronze Member Username: DannyboyyPost Number: 78 Registered: Jun-06 | hang on 1 sec. |
|
Gold Member Username: Dustin3Tigard, Or U.S. Post Number: 1632 Registered: Oct-05 | i just dont understand why a company would UNDERRATE their amps. if i was company, i would overrate my amps if anything |
|
Bronze Member Username: DannyboyyPost Number: 79 Registered: Jun-06 | i dont have anymore AAAs to put into my camera. ill see if i can get some for tomarrow. |
|
Bronze Member Username: DannyboyyPost Number: 80 Registered: Jun-06 | well anyway about the subs is that a good price 230 a piece? |
|
Bronze Member Username: DannyboyyPost Number: 82 Registered: Jun-06 | i really like them alot |
|
Bronze Member Username: DannyboyyPost Number: 83 Registered: Jun-06 | i almost bought 2 type xs 2 days ago but decided to hold off. |
|
Bronze Member Username: DannyboyyPost Number: 84 Registered: Jun-06 | if u notice they only overrate like that on their power series amps maybe its because they want to make a good impression. |
|
Gold Member Username: Dustin3Tigard, Or U.S. Post Number: 1638 Registered: Oct-05 | i dont like the type-x's very much anyways... what subs did u get for 230 a peice? |
|
Bronze Member Username: DannyboyyPost Number: 85 Registered: Jun-06 | im getting them http://www.soundsplinter.com/rlp12_premium_series_12_inch_DIY_subwoofer_informat ion.html these chauncy said they are just as good if not better than w7s |
