Silver Member Username: JohnfiacIL USA Post Number: 861 Registered: Mar-06 | btw Mr. rob that completely changes the topic... i am going with either one of those 2 mention subs, i dont hear enough about atomic to really think its worth it, ive seen em take a beating but ehhh comon its DD!!!! lol But basically my concern is the amps... can i find somthing better for less then 1675$ a amp. thats $3350 for the 2 amps.... i no its a good brand and all but thats a bit high for amps.. what other amps out there can take .5ohm burps of atleast 6k and give 3.8k+ at 2ohms daily? with low THD, if THD wasnt the issue earthquake would be perfect.. |

Gold Member Username: Safe_crackerChicago, IL US Post Number: 2284 Registered: Jan-06 | You would need a 16v alternator, 12V series regulator and a few 16V batteries. The regulator would be used to change the 16v to around 15V to opperate the cars electronics. Funny how 1V can ruin a party, Polo. |

Gold Member Username: BestmankindFi Audio BTL Post Number: 8460 Registered: Oct-05 | nevermind. he was talking about z1 amp. i thought he was saying z2. z1 amps don't need 16v. damn whats up with me this morning. i must be slowly becoming insane. i think its my age. i am getting old. lol. i had no idea you would need all that for a 16v setup polo. i thought an isolator would do the trick. |

Gold Member Username: BestmankindFi Audio BTL Post Number: 8481 Registered: Oct-05 | 2 9515 reconed with kevlar cones powered by 2 3000wrms soundstream amps in extra cab 4 x 4 in a blow through setup. what i meant to say up there is it does sound awesome but not too far off from my btls. i am impressed by my btl's just as much. |

Silver Member Username: JohnfiacIL USA Post Number: 865 Registered: Mar-06 | 9915's ;) with plentty of room for a big box and batterys and stuff doing all the charging system stuff wont be a problem as long as i can still remember the last place i seen that had 16V H\O's unless iraggi or exxcesive makes it? i was actually thinking about doing that in the first place with the z1's so i can get that extra .5V lol but i am watching some other forum.. i have the link in my favorites but on my work computer.. they are testing the z1's to see how they perform at various voltage's so if its good at the 16V fu<k it ima give it to it. i want it to get its full potential money isnt really the issue, time is  haha any1 got some fully loaded 15 btl's in chicago? same with the dd9915's? i wanna hear em both my local dealers around here carry only mainline stuff basically and i never really have time to make it to the places that carry the better stuff |

Silver Member Username: JohnfiacIL USA Post Number: 866 Registered: Mar-06 | chad im planing on about 3800rms@2ohm or more daily depending on how well my charging system is and thats to each sub how do u think that will sound? |

Gold Member Username: JuliobSanto DomingoDominican Re... Post Number: 3799 Registered: Dec-05 | killa if you wanna go cheaper, autotek MM4000 puts 4000w rms at 2 ohms and costs like 900$ I'd say this... go with BTLs, they're cheaper and it's new. The DD will perform better but for the money... i don't think it worths it... |

Silver Member Username: 04redmach1Columbus, GA USA Post Number: 294 Registered: Mar-06 | Ah ok Chad, gotcha. You know, I really don't like Soundstream amps anymore. Only reason I sell them is the expensive HR series. Kevin |
|
Silver Member Username: 04redmach1Columbus, GA USA Post Number: 295 Registered: Mar-06 | The HR is (Human Reign). They are expensive, BUT, they are nice and still true Soundstream boards. I can't stand Power Acoustik. Kevin |

Gold Member Username: DrsmithMontana USA Post Number: 2330 Registered: Nov-04 | the Z1s are the awesome but look into the adassa warlords, they are crazy good amps |

Bronze Member Username: The_image_dynamicSan Diego Post Number: 65 Registered: Dec-06 | Good Lord the Adassa that Doc mentioned is a freakin' beast. Can't say I have ever seen them either. http://www.adassaaudio.co.uk/products.html http://ampguts.realmofexcursion.com/Adassa_Audio_The_Warlord/ |
|
Silver Member Username: JohnfiacIL Afghanistan,... Post Number: 882 Registered: Mar-06 | they deff. are some beast but the power ratings suck... 18V and all hmmmmmmm power issues.. more shopping for better H\O's at different voltages... depending on what i find for power supplys and all is where i look for low voltage high current amps or vice versa |
|
Gold Member Username: BestmankindFi Audio BTL Post Number: 8514 Registered: Oct-05 | i would love to run the apx mr rob. |
|
Gold Member Username: DrsmithMontana USA Post Number: 2334 Registered: Nov-04 | i didnt know the adassa did power at 18 volts, but they are beasts nonetheless |
|
Gold Member Username: DrsmithMontana USA Post Number: 2335 Registered: Nov-04 | i just went to the site it does rated power at 14, the warlord is a 5k amp, its just stable up to 18v |
|
Silver Member Username: ShowridesHartford, CT USA Post Number: 394 Registered: Feb-06 | Go with DD. They make incredibly solid subs, that can handle massive amounts of power, and get extremely loud. The 99's or 95's would work great with the Z1 amps. Also, I am sure you could get a deal if you are buying all those DD products from Kevin. |
