Ok, so currently I have 6.5" components (RF T-1652-s) and they are hooked up to a 200wRMSx2 @4ohms (So they are getting what they want RMS) but its just not loud enough for me. I need some suggestions for some comps and an amp that can get really loud. Price is up in the air...$500-700 more is ok if needed...

Sub is just a single 12" CVX pushed with zx750.1 (got a deal on the kicker goods)

Deck is a pioneer (forget the model name) but just single DIN, ipod hookup etc...

 

What amp are you currently using?

I don't know any amps that do 200 x 2 @ 4..unless it's a 4 channel bridged down to 2.

If that's not loud enough, then it may be time to step up to pro audio.

 

Not loud enough or not clear enough when loud?

 

Sorry, I meant at 2ohms.. but Hifonics HFi100.2 is my current amp. And I just want louder it stays clear. Thanks alot guys.

 

Get your hearing checked man! How loud is loud enough? Blood from your ears lol?

 

These are cool

lol, and actually in all honesty, I'm really after brighter and louder highs... So to save money, should probly upgrade tweeters first and then see.. Any suggestions on that? Thanks again guys!

 

Kicker is known for having the brightest highs, I can vouch for that with the simple KS series sets I run off of my 350.4 (also Kicker). It's not my taste but I tuned a lot of the brightness out of them. If you're looking for bright, go SS Kicker's or something crazy ya know?

 

^^agreed. also does your amp have an adjustable gain on it? and does the head unit have a place to adjust the settings for highs and mids? check those 2 first in case everything is turned down low

 

i will look into those kickers... and yessir, the gain (input level or something like that) on the Hifionics amp is up as much as it'll go before the amp will put its self into protect, and thats not very high either... and yes crossovers are set highest for the tweets, +2db, and the HU is at +6 for highs...

 

I just noticed that you are 110 years old. This is the problem!

 

^LOL

I would say maybe some Infinity Kappa components! Better quality amp too. I like the old Alpine amps. The new ones are just to expensive. I got 2 old style Alpine amps that are still running great! MRP-450 is over 4 years old and i have a 2 channel alpine MRP T220 and I got that used on here for like 75 bucks over a year ago. they obviously dotn make them anymore but if you an find them id scoop them up.

 

haha, hmmm maybe that is the problem! lol..

And yes I've been looking at new amp of better quality. And any particular components from Infinity?

 

WHat do you guys think about the Polk Audio MM6501? Or infinity over polk?

 

\


Thats the specific ones- Kappa line by Infinity

 

i'm actually running those in my doors. tweeters i've somehow managed to blow after about a year n a half, but the mids are still goign strong. i have other polk components in the rear panels and another set still to install

 

How do you like them? Pretty good Midbass? Or do you think I should just go new (better quality) amp and some new tweeters and see how things are from there? That's what I really want, just louder highs. I'm content with the RF 6.5's I have now

 

get some good tweeters and a quality amp. See where that takes you! Then if you dont like just upgrade the 6.5s.

 

well kicker series is good and loud . its all depends on how loud u want it . if u want loud as hell go with loud speakers. such as eminece and selenium. earthquake is awsome. but now if u want high end component set or speakers its going to cost u. such as boston acustik and precision power component set . just how loud u want it ? if u want to go with more power to door speakers usually people run 2 channel amp. if u want more control over or more clear sound go with 4 channel

 

I want it to loud/bright enough where I'll need to turn down my settings from +2db on the crossover and +6 on the HU. I want loud.
