anything maxxsonics usually does 100-200w under RMS rated power at perfect voltage. Over is not likely, just judging from the benchmarks i've seen. Most people don't have the electrical to run them so they never see even close to benchmark numbers

 

I think i'm gonna have my audio shop do my install because i dont have time =[ And its starting to get cold D:

I am gonna build my wall to save some major cash though

 

what are they going to do? if you're building the wall are they just running wires and installing amps?

 

yea basically. i'll have them install everything. amps. subs. speakers. screens. etc. i can do it i just really dont have the time nor a garage : /

 

well if you build the box, you can easily do the subs yourself and save yourself a little more money. if you're carpet is already pulled, you can run all your wires yourself and then just have them hook the speakers up and such to save a little more. it sounds like nothing but that is more money saved

 

Well its my first build.. and its a BIG one.. Haha. I just really dont wanna mess anything up. Sure, if you have me 1 or 2 12's, an amp, and some wire, i'll do it in a minute.

But 8 12's, 2 amps, batteries, speakers, fuses, etc. Thats a big job for a beginner! Haha

 

you really have to look at what voltage they test their amps at too, preferably its done at 12 volts. Most do it at 14.4 which you will rarely hold.


EXO (if you've heard of him) on youtube has some really good videos for making bus bars and fuse holders and such, really good videos.

 

yehhhhh

 

I just wanted to put up a quick reply about running Subs with a stock radio.

I recently purchased a 95 4x4 4.3L 4 door blazer with 120k miles and didn't want to put an after market radio in unless I found the right radio at the right price but I wanted to run the subs from my old vehicle. I took a wire and spliced into the rear speakers. Since the speakers are in the doors i just found it easier to run a wire from the radio all the way back to the subs. At the subs I soldered a 10k 1/4 watt resistor in line to bring the the speaker level audio down to line level. Now if your amp has digital inputs (not usually in car audio) this won't work. I'm running this setup now but in retrospect I might have used a 12k resistor, the gain on my amp is all the way down and I would like some adjusting room.

If anyone wants more particulars involved with installing this setup, let me know.

 

first off props on the pics and proving that your have 487 subs for your space shuttle.

last time i checked infinity has better speakers then off brand phoenix gold, and there crossover models cost a bit more then $80. sure crossovers would sound better but what he has gets the job done... for christ sake he owns a space shuttle in my eyes still so he could fill that damn thing with how ever many speakers he'd like.
