And are the subs separate in that box? Because a huge box can make the subs peaky at certain frequencies. What frequency are the ports tuned for? Hmm, careful...the fc6.2'a are not 600Watts, they are 200W. That 600 figure is probably peak, which is not useful really, as 600W will probably fry them. Same with the 6x9's. Website has them at 300W's. Unless this has changed? Though most companies re-number products to avoid this confusion. Why caps? I've read alot of opinions, some saying they are a bandaid for a bad power system, others saying they have uses. Have you tried with and without and noticed a difference? (This is me wanting to learn, never tried them before). As for the wire, hope it wasn't too expensive, I'm probably gona use some for my power. So cheap and well made and flexible. Perfect.
I thought that When u look at buying audio equipment u look at the rms rating as its continuous power going into the system rather than the max power output/PMPO, i guess its all about marketing these days....
Like this?: OMG, 2000W and it's only $110 LMAO. *(actually only 200Wx4RMS and even that i wouldn't trust it). As a basic rule, you should pay around $1 per watt to know it's not terrible quality from what I've read. I think speakers were the same, or they may have been $3 per watt. I forget.
yeh the subs are seperated, and tuned at 35Hz and the specs of the fc 6.2's have changed, as mentioned earthquake lowered the quality of these speakers to make them cheaper, the v-tek range is now the top range and the fc's are the bottom range, but the v-tek's aint even as good as the old fc series which i have, and no they splits aint 600 watt rms, they are roughly 150 watt rms per speaker and the 6x9's are roughly 200 watt rms per speaker where as the new fc's are only about 50watt rms per speaker now afaik :/ the site now quotes the new fc's 6.2's have 10oz magnets:/ mine have 20oz magnets so im not sure what the hell they are doing! and the 6x9 specs well ill let the picture do the talking the specs of the new range 300 Watts Max FR: 38Hz-22kHz. fiber impregnated polymica cone surround Sensitivity 91dB 0.75" swivel dome tweeter, neodymium magnet 2" High effeciency mylar mid-range driver Polyswitch tweeter protection MSRP: $190.00/pair and the specs of the old 800 watts max FR: 35H to 22KHz 1.5" voice coil 30Oz magnet 2" tweeter
this is like fully siik habib!, exactly what i was talking about, its obviously some "boss" equipment to have haha :bash:
Not towards you. We're baggin those companies who put this huge number on their subs (like 2000W), when it's actually only a 400W amp. They use peak numbers to make their amp look good lol.
ahh well the are alot of dodgy ratings around! stick to the leading brands and you will be right usa is usually more accurate then japenese stuff also i recommend earthquake soundstream rockford boston mb quart infinity RE engineering adire audio almani atomic audiobahn cerwin vega focal eclipse JL audio MA audio orion MTX Polk audio power acoustik shocker audio treo engineering kenwood alpine if you buy any of those brands you should be alright
that sub would produce shitty bass!! anything over about 18-21" and becomes very hard to push the cone properly, you need a huge driver structure to power it properly and would be very very expensive on todays market to get it right best example is the mtx jack hammer, looks great but struggles to produce decent spl! chuck it up against a soundstream xxx 15" or somethin and will have the shit munched out of it!
In the Z, the deck ATM So like 15Wx4 or some crap. But in the system I made up for my girlfriends car I put an Infinity Reference 7541a. 111W x 4. Very nice amp, just the right amount of power for the speakers (The splits and the 6x9's are 100W RMS each).
Not if you power it with this lol: 5000W at 1Ohm or this: 7400W at 1Ohm I've even seen 10000W amps and I think I saw a 20000W once, but that could of been marketing. I forget.
did the 20,000watt one look like this ? PH20000WD Number of channels: 1/Mono x Two Amps Class: "D" Max Power Output: 20000 Watts/Bridged Power 4-Ohm Bridged: 6000 Power 2-Ohm Bridged: 1 x 20,000 Power 4-Stereo: 2 x 3000 Damping Factor: >400 @ 2-Ohm Cross Over Slopes: 24dB/OCT THD: 1% SNR: 104dB Speaker Connections: 8-Gauge Power/Ground Connections: 0-Gauge Input Types: Low Level RCA Inputs and High Level Inputs Dimensions (HxWxD): 4.5" x 12" x 28.625" MSRP: $4,998.00
