Cheers mate.

overboost for good sql you should have a strong front stage... it would be a bad idea to run the front off the deck and back amped... it just means when you turn it up you will get distortion through the fronts ...

id rather have amped front speakers and no back speakers

and yeah it would be intersting to see the thd stats on that pyle amp and the continuous output figures.....

[djhatton]

I have Splits, 2 Subs, 4 amps etc etc etc .. but not everyone has that kind of money to spend on a system .. if he put some nice 3ways in the front and some coaxles or 6x9's in the rear he should be happy ..

hang on, so you're suggesting he buy new gear to replace the stuff that isn't working right???? seems illogical to me.

kill hsv, its just a matter of tracking down your problems with your tweets. i wouldn't be replacing a set of splits with "3-way's" and i'd rather poke myself in the eye than fit 6x9's.

you've got the right bits, just make them all talk to each other and they'll be just fine. you'll find that the separate component route (i.e. splits) will be a far better block upon which to build, should you want to upgrade and change things in the future.

and in regard to rear speakers, you'll find many "sq" systems run no rear speakers at all. pardon the cliche'd phrase from the audio world, but you don't go to a live gig and hear the performers from behind you. rear fill is best left to providing rear-seat passengers with music and multichannel surround systems imo. if you want to run rears, cross them over high (really high) so as to avoid pulling your soundstage backwards and try to fade them out as much as realistically possible.

yeah i got the front speakers running of the head deck thats why im getting another amp and i would like to get a 15inch sub as well

Just focusing on the power levels and THD, what is the power output at 12 volts, 13 volts and 14.4 and what resistance are these measured at?

Now I'm not having a shot at the amp at all or denying the claimed power, I'm simply interested.

[someonestolecc]

sounds like you only got a $200 sound system lol

True, I've never claimed it was great.. but the HU alone is more than $200? I can't afford sound to be honost though.

[Mick]

not bad ive seen amps that are tested and rated at a 0.10% THD (Total Harmonic Distortion) which gives ratings that are realy bogus .. THD is something to realy look out for.

[Mick]

there are alot of little tricks like that that they can use to make an amp sound more powerful .

[djhatton]

overboost, what is the fuse(s) rating on the amp. also curious.

cheers
