Ain't tryna be heard a block away, I wanna be heard quarter mile away.
That’s right. (2) 15” or (4) 12” then. 😂
@@BreakersStereo that's exactly what I'm going for this time around. 2 resilient sounds team 15s on 2 skar rp 4500.1d with a mechman 240amp alt and 2 125ah cmax banks. Check out my UA-cam channel i just posted a day ago.
@@heardandtested
Might need more power for that
@@VINNY5674 check out my UA-cam channel. I'm going full throttle.
@@heardandtested sounds like a fun project. Way...way back in the day I was running 3 12” along with a single 15” in the bed of my S-10 pickup truck. You could hear me coming from around a 1/4 mile or so away with everything turned up. Oh the days of being young and not having all the other bills we end up with as we grow older 👍👀🤙 But I have to say it was a lot of fun, and it always kept my friends and I super busy saving up money and working towards new projects. Great memories for sure 🤙
I like the idea of a 5 channel because i like simplicity.
I went from 500 watts of bass to 1000 watts now upgraded to a 2,000 RMS amp and sub finally hit my sweet spot.
150 watts x4 for the door speaker's.
My advice to people upgrading is spend the money be happy do it once and avoid keep having to upgrade.
Great video BSP 👍
THanks!!!
best advice.i buy good quality stuff one piece at a time then had it all installed
This is so true because I made this mistake and I’m on my third upgrade. It is best to save and get the high quality stuff overall because it makes a big difference.
no such thing as happy, its like a rabbit hole with no bottom
So u have a sub wired at 1000 how did u get the ohms so low to run the speakers at 150? 8ohms?
It's such a big power gap.
Or are u using two amps?
Dam good review and very educated on the new products❤️I’m a retired Car Audio Specialist and good to see the younger guys keeping the industry going strong👍By the way just got a couple Rockford 1000x5’s one marine 1000x5ab for my Can Am Max and a new 5 channel 1000 for my H2.Been using them for years and used to be sponsored by them❤️
Thanks I really appreciate it! I’ve been doing this since I was 15. So I’m an old school guy. I love the Rockford stuff my first few systems had Rockford amps. I had a Punch 60.2 that ran 4 MB Quarts and 2 Rockford Audiophiles 12”s back when you had to run caps and coils and one time Rockford flew me to AZ and let me build my own amp but when I got back on the plane they almost didn’t let me back on because when went through security they had no idea what the amp was!!
This has been my question for the last few months as I plan my build!
Its common sense. Its up to the person how loud hard you wanna sound.
It completely depends on your needs and the power you want to run as most 5 or 6 channel amps don’t provide Pugh power for big bass.
Running a X802-5 on 4 eXcelon 6.5s and 2 12 CompRs. Yeah the subs are underpowered but the clarity and response is absolutely sick. I enjoy my personal concerts when I start the ignition. I can always upgrade and add a mono later if I choose.
Fanastic video!! Love watching your videos, they are very educational!! Keep up the great work!!
I currently have a 2 amp setup. 4 component 6.5 with a 4 channel Alpine amp, and 2 12" Alpine type R subs with a Rockford Fosgate T1000.1bdcp amp. Hits pretty hard.
Sounds similar to what I want to setup but I’m trying to figure out what amp I need for the 4 channel if those speakers are 200 watts peak power
How much bass do I want? I want all of the bass!
Me too!!
🤑🤑🤑🤑🤪🤪🤪🤪
you dont want it all because your car will get destroyed.
😂😂😂😂
You need a separate mono and 4 channel amps.
Very straight forward information. I like it. I'm building an SQ system. Audison bit ONE HD Virtuoso, 2 Audison 5.1ks with digital bit in, 13W7AE in a 2.6@24hz and 1.3@55hz 6th order. Still trying to decide what speakers to use and if I want center channel for 2 seat tuning
That was a great explanation, thank you. In the next month or so I want to fit a complete system to my little Suzuki Jimny. All I am interested in is great sound, not crazy loud, just a well rounded sound to listen on my roadtrips. I will be doing the install myself. I plan to install sound insulation in all of the car. I would like to know within my budget of about 1500 to 2000 USD where it is best to spend my money for sound quality ? Better to spend more on the head unit ? or the amp / amps ? or the speakers ? Thank you. Maybe this could be a good theme for a new video.
Great video, thanks so much. I have a couple 12 inch Alpine subs and a 600W RMS at 2 ohm pioneer, class D monoblock. I want to add a four channel stereo amp into the mix to power my 6.5 coaxials. It’s a single cab truck. Do you have a video that you guys made or that you recommend on how to wire the system all up? It’s going into a 1970 pick up, and I am likely going to have to rewire the entire thing myself. Thanks!
I use two stinger 1000 watt 5-channel amps with two Rockford P3 sub woofers in sealed boxes, 8-8" M1 and 8-6.5" M1 speakers on a Polaris Slingshot. It is loud and sounds great. I say, upgrade the alternator if you are looking to install multiple amplifiers or plan to add more later. The head unit and DSP make a difference in sound quality. I installed the Rockford Fosgate DSR1 8 Channel DSP. I love the way it sounds.
I am an old bass head and had a great system in a truck back in the day.
Forward to now, I recently bought a new toy
"90 vette" and I want some great sounds, but I am extremely limited on space.
I went to a well respected place and explained to the owner what I would like.
After him and his top installer checking out my car, he mentioned a Kenwood KMM BT328U deck, 2 Kenwood 6X9 5 way speakers in the back, 2 Kenwood 3 way 6x9 speakers for the front, a 10 inch bazooka tube and a Kenwood Excelon 802.5 amp. The reason for the Bazooka, is I would like to run the bass at 4 ohms for better sound.
I don't have much room for a normal ported box and a 12 inch bazooka tube won't fit when I have the targa top off and in back.
I went ahead and had them install the deck and both sets of 6x9 speakers for now. I will have them go ahead and do the big 3 also.
Should I stick with the sub that is in the Bazooka, or go with a kicker sub in place of the sub in the Bazooka?
What say you?
I just picked up a ‘90 C4 myself! Did they have to modify it to allow the 6x9’s? How did the bazoka work out?
I’m having a Sony double din, Pioneer 5 channel amp, 6.5’s in the rear and 5.25 in the front kick panels, Kicker TRTP 10” comp slim subwoofer enclosure installed in a few days.
@@keithblackwell6694 , awesome ! I have fallen in love with my vette. :)
There was no modifications needed for the 6x9s.
I haven't done the big 3, amp or bazooka yet.
Been spending funds on other aspects of the vette, like nano ceramic tint and some upgrades under the hood. :)
I dunno I'm old school. I have a good ear for sound quality. I didn't need so much input. But all your info is good to know. You know your stuff
What if you have a center channel along with a sub, can you suggest a good 6 channel amp?
Should I amp my aftermarket door speakers or put in a 2 ch amp for a pair of 6x9's? (I already have an amped sub)
Excellent review you just answered a lot of my questions in mind
Very nice video! Really appreciate you and people like you
Thanks!!
I have a basic 125 watt kicker amp on two Audibahn 10s they sound so great in my truck any other ideas that I could do?
So I have two 12” Boss audio 1600 watt subs which are hooked up to a 3700 watt amp but they are currently connected to channel 1 and 2. I also have another amp that is a pioneer 1000 watt. I’d want the 3700 amp connected to the subs for max bass and sound, and use the 1000 amp for the rest of the stock speakers in my car. I was wondering if it’s possible to connect both amps to my subs, and how I would be able to?
I have 2 3-way component speakers (Audison APK 163) for the front and back. I also have a Audison APBX 10 AS2 Prima Subwoofer. What is the best amplifier for this set-up of 12 total speakers and a subwoofer?
I have a kicker cxa1200 amp… I’m planning on running 2 cwrt104 shallow subs @4ohms… would this be a good combo???? Or a 2ohm impedance is better??
I actually have a arc audio 5-1100.its way under rated as they are.(i would love to rind a dyno run on a arc audio! ) this amp is a beast for its rating! But it does shut off when pushing it when hot!should i switch too a two amp system?
Im running a mono 500 2ohm RF Prime amp and a cheap Optimus sub 10 inch I found in the dumpster. Made a small box in an hour. And Sounds great. Not running amp at full level because of fear for blowing the sub. But just in case i do, i actually found 2 subs in the dumpster. They both work. I was ecstatic.
Lol what luck. Free subs! Rail on the sub and see what I can do! Nothing to lose PLUS a back up sub. NICE!
@@BreakersStereo Stolen subs....
I have 2 12in kicker comp rt, and a pair of infinity kappa 6x9 and a pair of infinity kappa 6.5 I’m not sure what I should go for any pointers?
Can I set up a 2ohm sub(RE Audio xxx12) to a 1ohm Taramp 3k Bass Amp?
What would you recommend between the blam s165.80 and focal 165 as3?
I need a good solid 5 Chanel amp. Infinity reference 4” coaxial all around. Just looking for a good OEM quality sound. Not looking to be heard from blocks sways.
Ok i have a sub and amp installed. I am recieving my door speakers, do i need another amp for them?
If I'm replacing the factory speakers with aftermarket speaker, do I have to individually wire each of the 4 speakers to the amp or is there a way I can connect it to the radio and use the factory wiring to amplify the after market speakers?
Hi, Breackers. little favor pleas. what would be the best subs to get the most rms power out of my old school D81000 amplifier? ill preferred 12's, thanks
I went with an amp for my highs and an amp for my sub. I can't complain it sounds 💯 my friend said once I hear your system before I see your car. That's what I'm talking about lol. Bass!! Bass!! 🔊
So for a setup that has 4 component speakers with a crossover for 4 tweeters I’d need a 4 channel amp and then a mono amp for 1 12” sub? Or just a 2 channel for the sub?
Hello! Thank you for all of your helpful info! I was wondering how I should hook my head unit up to my monoblock amp. The amp has a single right and left rca input and my head unit has front and rear right and left rca outputs. Do I connect the rca cables to the amp from the front or rear outputs from the head unit? Thank you so much!
Some head units have a subwoofer rca out for the sub amp on the back. If your unit does not then send the signal from the rear rca outputs to the amp. The signal will be a full range signal. The crossover filter on the mono amp will allow only the low frequencies thru to your sub since those amps have a low pass. Always use high quality RCA cables and run them on the opposite side and away from the power wire to avoid getting unwanted noise in your system.
Im trying to run two kenwood excelon 12”s in a ported box along with the kenwood excelon xr-1701p compenents for my doors and tweeters and the kenwood kfc-6996ps for my 6x9s 5way car speakers and the kenwood excelon dmx908s for my radio but i dont know what amps i need i got a 2012 impala im not trying to blow my trim pieces off and im not tryinf to shatter my back windshield just something that rattles the trunk a bit could you help me decide what amps i need and if ill need a compacitor or a second battery and a different alternator.
I think it's all about how much space you have to sacrifice
Didnt finish my message. Along with the amp being a beast,its the cleanest amp ive ever owned! So brilliant and sharp.arc audio stuff is very expensive, but find used ones for much cheaper! Let me know if there is something else i can do with the heat,or maybe add another sub and wire it 2ohm?
DD-1 is worth it! Bought it years ago and it's paid for itself. Friends pay a couple bucks to use it or have you adjust their gains perfectly for them.
Yeah it total is. Good way to get your investment back !

Please suggest an amp to run a RF P3D4-12 and an amp to run JBL GTO 609c + JBL GTO 629
Tell me if I understand this correctly with pairing subs in parallel.
If I have an amp with sub channel that’s 1000rms@2ohms/500rms@4ohms.
I could
A. Run one 500rms 4ohm sub
Or
B. Run two 500rms 4ohm subs in parallel which makes them 2ohm and equals the 1000rms goal for maximum performance. Am I understanding this correctly?
Hey I have 1800 kicker amp with a 1 square 12 inch kicker sólo baric!

HELP PLEASE!
Lets say i buy a 5 channel amp, the first 4 channels i use as 4 ohms can i use the sub channel as a 2 ohm channel?
If yes are there some amps which can not perform this way. I cant find an answer, it will be very appreciated. :)

I have a Rockford T750X1bd amp hooked up to 1 12" L7 2ohm KICKER inside their KICKER PORTED BOX. I am debating on getting another L7 sub, or selling my current L7 and then getting 1 DB Apocalypse. My system is in an 07 Toyota Tundra. I want more bass. WOULD IT BE BETTER TO HOOK UP ANOTHER AMP THAT CAN HANDLE THE HIGHS AND ALSO TAKE OFF A PAYLOAD ON MY CURRENT AMP BECAUSE I FEEL LIKE MY CURRENT AMP CAN'T PUSH THAT L7 HARD ENOUGH WITHOUT THE CLIP LIGHT COMING ON AND SOMETIMES TURNING RED?? OR SHOULD I JUST GO OUT AND BUY ANOTHER SUB AND AMP AND THEN CONNECT THEM TO MY PREEXISTING SYSTEM?? I NEED HELP WITH MORE BASS😂
Just let me know if my keep compass 6x9s door and dash speakers are wired in series/parallel or if the factory system is 6ch output. I can’t get an answer from Crutchfield or any local shops.

please doa video with the Down4Sound 7 channel amp = JP77
maybe a stress test if possible.

I’m going with the 5 channel however in the future I want to add a good set of speakers components preferably. Can I switch that 5 channel to just the speakers and add a bigger amp for the subs with the mono? I have two 10s Jl Audi w3
Sure you can use the 5 channel for interior speakers and add a bigger bass amp. You will obviously just have the 5th channel not wired to a speaker but it won’t hurt anything. What 5 channel amp are you looking at ?
@@BreakersStereo alpine
Whats the difference between a 1 ohm amp and a 1 ohm stable ? What is stable
If I want more base what way should I wire it or what is better if I want to get more bass out of my kicker comp 10 inch 4 ohm dual voice coil
Run your subs on a mono amp and 4 channel for your mids and highs
So maybe someone on here could be help to me I need alil help. I am planning on upgrading my door speakers and adding 2 behind my back seats head rest with maybe 2 12s should I just go for a 5 channel or spend alil more and go for the 4 channel and a mono.

I did a cxa 360.4 with the cxa 800.1 with 1 15 in a big ported box and 2 pairs of kicker ks 5.25s in my crv and it sounds great and didn't cost that much
Can i bridge a kenwood 5 channel 1600w amp and a seperate underseat subwoofer with it's own built in amp if they're different wattage? I have a kicker down facing sub with passive radiator but also want a sub under my seat
If you have powered sub you cannot power it up with another amp. What you can do is use the 5 channel amp to run the kicker box with the passive radiator.... hope that helps
--Josh
Wait so what about if you get a 1500 watt amp for dual 2ohm 12 subs
Im Running 4 Speakers What the difference in Sound Quality One Amp Vs 2 Amp
I'm running a 5 channel kenwood in a jeep. 500 watts at 2 ohm is plenty for a pair of 8" L7T's. Especially when they're about 2 feet from my head.
What about mosconi pro 5/30 any one know about this amp I’m getting it installed in my GMC Sierra
My set up is pretty basic right now got one sub that’s only 500rms connected to a ct sounds 500.1 amp with some tweeters connected to my aftermarket pioneer head deck. I want to replace the 6x9 stock door speakers with some good after market ones. Do I need another amp to power my tweeters and 6x9’s ? If so what do your recommend?
As far as 4 channel amps go there are a few really good amps to go with under $200. I’d start with the Alpine S-A32F or maybe think about a Rockford Prime amp.
@@BreakersStereo what’s your take on epicenters ?
I'm going to be running jl 1000/5 with focal ps165 flax evo bi-amped and a jl 10w3 in a sealed enclosure. Will this bump? I don't need to be heard a block away but I would like to shake rattle and roll when I'd like to. Maybe I should go ported? I don't want to sacrifice sq though...
The power on the 5th channel if they JL amp is good to run that single sub. I prefer a sealed box for the W3 vs a ported. The ported might output more but you will sacrifice sq. You should have a good amount of bass as long as it’s a compact car
@@BreakersStereo yeah it's a brand new civic. Always wanted a high quality sound system and now I'm getting one. With the 1000/5, lc2i, ps 165 fxe's, 10w3 with box, and all wiring and installation plus two full doors of dynamat and trunk sides and lid of dynamat they're quoting me 3100 and some change. I priced it out on crutchfield and it looks like about a little over 2k in materials. 1000 to install seems reasonable IMO. Thoughts? The focals sounded awesome on the wall driven by a rockford fosgate 5 channel giving them 75 watts ea. The jl will give 200 watts bi-amped! I can't wait!
Very helpful. Thank you!
2 channel and a mono work?
i just want to know do i need another amp for my 2 12 inch subs or can i just use one amp?
Depends on the power handling on your 12s and the output of your amp. But as a rule of thumb for two 12”s you should have a separate amp
I just updated my subs. Got a 2.5k skar mono block for subs and 400 watt JL 4 channel for my components and also some component tweeters
I have a Hifonics BRX5016.5 Brutus 5ch amp. (Best for its price) 4x100w @2 ohms/sub - 750w, my sub is wired @ 1ohm.
Need 2ohms door speakers. I have Infinity Kappa 693.11i (best for the price). sub is single 12" Skar SDR-12 D2 in a qbomb box.
What power amp do I need for two 10s each at 450 watts rms
1000 rms is enough
Question, what's a "GREAT" sub size/pair for a 2014 Mercedes CLS 550, if you want that very LOW(Growly) bass with nice HIGHS and MIDS that can be heard for about 2 blocks???🤔 Also, I'm thinking about the two/three amp setup as well.
Ok the bigger the better if you want to be heard 2 blocks away two 15”s are the best but that’s gonna be tough to get a pair of 15s in that truck with the correct size box. May the KICKER L7 12” Q class dual. Or a single JL 13W7. The new MEMPHIS VIV1422 is good for less money then the JL. Check out the video we did on the JL vs Memphis. ALSO the 2 12” MEMPHIS MOJO would be legit.
@@BreakersStereo Good morning Sir and thank you soo much for that feedback but, it's a sedan that I was referring to and wanted to know if the trunk would have enough space for them. My apologies for not making that clear to you.🙏🏽👌🏾👍🏾🙂
I have a 2003 Honda Accord. I am using a 5.1 channel amp. 6" speakers in the front, 6x9" in the rear. I am pushing a 15" enclosed sub in the trunk. For space I am using a Pioneer head unit with a 9 band e.q. for a extra sound and power boost.
I went with the 15" sub because it only takes up half of my trunk space, and I have it wired so that If I need to use my whole trunk I can take it out altogether.
The 15" sub provides trunk shaking bass, if you want 2 subs I would suggest that they are a pair of 10" or 12" at the most.
I hope this helps tell me what you think?.
@@awakenedblackheterosexual5609 Good morning my brother! Indeed, that sounds like a very nice setup you have and I'm pretty sure that it hits "HARD"! I was thinking about running just one 15" sub with a high power handling rating as you mentioned with a complete set of new component speakers to match. I didn't want to take up all of my trunk space also but, I did want the system to get DOWN and DIRTY if need be! 😄 I listen to a lot of contemporary jazz and believe it or not, those songs have a LOT of that "DEEP" growly BASS that I love! However, I REALLY do "APPRECIATE" that advice to the UTMOST and be BLESSED! 🙏🏽🙂👌🏾👍🏾✊🏾👊🏾💯
@@orlandoengland9184 I am sure you will have a great sounding system, whatever choice you make enjoy.
I want an amplifier How do I choose for what watts are written on it Or the total RMS power for speakers and subwoofer is equal to the total RMS of the amplifier
Best regrade
Anyone else watch this with captions on an confused on why it's saying the things it's saying?
WTF?! 😂😂😂
If you can get away with a 5 channel, do it. The most mono power you usually see in those is about 350 watts. I use a 4 channel Alpine, 50x4, and an Alpine 400w, mono, on a 12 inch Kicker CompVT. I could've probably got away with a 5 channel, but they weren't really popular when I built the system I have, back in 2009. I just moved it from an S-10 to a Ranger. No need to upgrade.
Good set up especially in a truck I’m sure it sounds great! Thanks for the comment
Wish I could be that content
@Kenmarshallintereststx you can only do so much in a small truck like a Ranger. I've upgraded all the speakers to Infinity Kappa, with Kappa mid range, Reference tweeters upfront, and Reference components in the rear. It does the job. I figure why buy more? This is quality equipment to have lasted all these years. I added another Alpine amplifier, a 100 watt X 2, as well, running the Kappas up front with the tweeters.
But then you have to run a power distribution block right?
@@RenePerez-pu4cj yeah, but just a small one. To tell you the truth, these car audio companies really oversell the wiring. I have 8ga coming from the battery and 10ga to each amp and capacitor. Not a hard setup.
I'm running 2 18inch deaf bonce dual 1ohm to run 0.5ohm into each amp my subs each costed my $1200 it's the dbsa418d1 for my amps I'm running orion hcca 3000.1dsplx each amp will clamp over 8000watts rms but if I want more I've also got 2 orion hcca 17,000.1dsplx amps I installed a brand x 390amp alternator and I build my self a lithium bank 260ah bank capable of powering up to 30,000 watts I'm in the middle of building a 6th order series tuned wall in my vehicle I can't wait to hear and see the outcome!!!! Love your videos keep it coming
The only issue is most 5 channels push 75w on each channel. I don't use my rear speakers, and my fronts are 100w rms. So i'm thinking a Dual channel 100w x2 amp for the fronts, and a 300w x1 for my sub.
My front channels 1 and 2 are running my super tweeters channels 3 and 4 are running the mid range woofers. 75x4, tweeters are Skar Audio VX35-ST tweeters and mid are Skar Audio FSX65. As i dont run my back speakers cause 1) hard to find 4x6s that can handle the power and 2) its an 02 Silverado extended Cab. So 5 channel works great for me. I actually picked up Memphis Audio VIVSERIES 2200.1V1 and VIVSERIES 1422 14inch sub in enclosure for a great deal
I have a kicker key wired the same way. Those fsx mids get pretty loud with only 45w
re-minds me of when i had $ to invest in car audio, & had 2 3way Hertz competition 6x9s hooked up to a Lheonix Gold 400.1 Titainum amp in my 91 Jeep Cherokee. Everyones reactions:
"Can i check out your subs?"
me: "sure have a look back there."
them: "WTF!?"🤣
Added a 10" sub on a mono amp a few weeks later & could drown out most 12"s in town🤣 good times
Can you test the sundown subwoofer vs the orion sub
What's the test Sundown trust Sundown will break windows if need be
Which one will handle more ? Which one will give out first?
Which one sounds better ?
I've got an older Memphis Big Belle 5 channel that I believe has 1300 on the sub output. Its a huge amp too tho. Was also about $700. Great amp but hard to find now.
I remember that amp! It was a 300.4 with a 1000.1 for the sub. Great amp they don’t make them like that anymore. But yeah those are the size of a surf board! Lol JK ... but from what I remember at least 24” in length.
@@BreakersStereo yep that's it. Currently have it in my son's blazer running the Skar door speakers and 1 Resilient Sounds Platinum 18" sub wired to .5 ohm. Still has a great sound to be such an old amp. Pushing the sub enough to get 148db in the kick panel. Memphis definitely makes good quality that lasts. Thanks for the great video btw.
I have the Memphis Vivbelle and i can run 75rmsx4 at 4ohm and then the sub channel at 900rms at 1ohm
Good info for beginners in car audio but at the same time you shouldn't compare amps that run on 1ohm since you cant run a 1ohm load a a typical subwoofer and might need an upgrade on the cars electrical as well.
Two 4 ohm DVCs are easily wired to 1 ohm. Or one 2 ohm DVC is easily wired to 1 ohm.
I like the new audiocontrol 5.1300 for a 5 channel
That’s a great amp! 8 channel summable inputs and great power on the 4 channel side 100x4. Can’t go wrong with that!

please help me i want pioneer 9 inch screen except wt7600nex
Question can anyone answer can I do the kicker amp thats 450rms 4ohm for 2 12” 500rms kickers
the 12” are 2 ohms
OK dumb question here, anyone can answer...I plan to go with a 5 channel amp, so my question is can i run 4 channels(full range) at 4 ohms and the 5th channel(sub) at 2 ohms or does all channels have to run in either 4 or 2 ohms?
Good question. You don’t have to run all channels in 4 or 2 ohms. If you Run your interior speakers at 4 ohms you can run your sub channel in 2 ohms.
Thats if your amp is 2ohm stable depends on your amp specs
Audio Apex CAB M-165 has a 1000 watt 5th channel.
I don't know if it's a good deal I just order a kicker set a 400 watt amp and of a 12-in fire down box that's flat to go on the back of my Kia soul so I don't lose space at all wiring kit for 423 but I still have to pay to get installed I'm going to use my factory speaker I got it because my sub and my soul went out and I bought a kicker based control
Compactness and easy install was key on my side.
Even picked up a DSP 5 channels amp, so it's all in one box. Audiocontrol D.5-1300 with Kenwood excellons 1701p and 1701coax, paired with a Audison 10" APBX DS.
For those looking for a decent 5channel set up…..Skar Audio RP 5channel with Crossfire C5 Speakers and for Bass Crossfire C3 12inch Sub 400watts rms 👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽
I got and old Fusion Amp Made By Garmin says 1000 Watts 4channel Doors about to blow off bought it for $50 bucks which is crazy set it on the shelf for 2 years I didn’t No😅Got Lucky,It Feels like a 2000 watt amp confused.
A 4 channel with a monoblock will be a cleaner sound/signal.
