Those subs are kickers best, handle over 1000watts RMS each and he's got them on 400? annoy: Shouldnt spend that much money on subs to cheap out on the amp...

yeah i dunno ... dont know the first thing about all this shit... his primary car (truck) is an xterra... he competes in all these car audio type things and has won quite a few with the xterra. no idea what all he has in it tho.

ill see if i can get some pics.

Okay, so.. anyone who knows anything about car audio (and isn't some 22-year old college drop-out with a rice burner) will tell you that the best value for your money is Blaupunkt all the way around. It outperforms a lot of equipment that almost doubles it in price. They also have a line of subs that are thin enough that they can fit inside your car door (depending on the model).

EDIT:: I forgot to mention. I used to have a Pioneer head unit in my car. I don't recall the model number, but I paid somewhere around $300 for it. Awhile back I bought a Blaupunkt head unit w/MP3 capability for $105 and it kicks the shit out of my Pioneer in performance.

Also, a buddy of mine had a system in his Jeep that consisted of an Alpine head unit, 2 10" Rockford/Fosgate subs and Pioneer 6x9s. After he replaced his head unit with a Blaupunkt, he was so impressed that he has spent the last year replacing everything with Blaupunkt. He went with everything from the Thin Series and it sounds 100% better than his old system. Also, he was able to get a really cool enclosure made that houses both his sub and his amps and gave him back almost all of his trunk space.

Damn, I should work for Blaupunkt or something.

........I won't even begin to tear into this one, ill reserve this juicy pup for juju.

I bought a 2 ohm stable amp. other wise they over heat and shut down if you make them run down to 2 ohms.
and if you want punch you need to wire them down too 2 ohms. you take both positive wires on one side and both neg to the other side. like the left channells you put both pos in to and the right you use the neg. then you get the pounding subs. 4 ohm amp wont cut it.
ohh and you need a crossover or you will fry your speakers.

Blau makes decent decks, thats about it... Those thin subs are an interesting concept, but performance isnt there. I'm interested in how you think the low end blau deck outperformed your old pioneer? Pioneer would go in my top 5 deck makers, their nice decks have extremely nice SQ. The thin subs and decks are the only Blau experience I've had so I cant comment on their speakers, but one thing to keep in mind is that car audio is 10% equipment, 90% install (minus the deck). A good install can make not so good equipment sound great, while a bad one can make the best equipment sound like poo.
For best overall value I'd recommend an "internet" brand. So called because they do most of their sales over the net (sometimes all).

a 4 ohm amp wont cut it?... That doesnt make sense.. The actual impedance doesnt matter that much, its the power the amp puts out at that impedance. Many people run a 2-channel amp bridged @ 4 ohm, where it puts out full power....

And active crossovers are usually included on the amp... not using them wont necessarily fry the speakers either, alot of people run their interiors full range with no problem, you will hear massive distortion before you come close to mechanically blowing them (overexcursion), and thermally blowing them only happens when you send them too much power, not at all frequency dependent...
