Here's an overview of my system.
Dual 15" Adire Audio Tumults. Each Tumult's dual 2 ohm voice coils are wired in parallel to their own amp.
I went with Autotek for amps. I needed a company that had a 1-ohm stable mono block amp
AS WELL AS a high power 4-channel. Autotek met my needs. I have been very happy with them thusfar. The two XS1500.1's output 1500WRMSx1@1ohm and the XS900.4 outputs 125WRMSx4@4ohms.
This is the front stage. The Adire Audio Koda component set. High passed at about 90Hz. The Koda is truly a phenomenal driver. For anyone thinking about running the Koda component set, I recommend atleast 100WRMS per side if you like it loud. ;-p
I'm using the Koda midbass for some rear fill. Many dislike rear fill altogether. I have tried it both ways and personally love a solid front stage, but I prefer a little rear action as well. The Koda provides more lowend then I've EVER heard from any 6.5" on the market today. Adire claims that in typical in-door installations, bass will be cleanly extended down to the 60-70 Hz range. I have them crossed over a bit higher then that, but I still get plenty of punch.
And here's the brains of the operation. A Kenwood KVT-815DVD. It incorporates a 7-inch flip out touchscreen monitor with a widescreen (16:9) aspect ratio. Actual BENCHED output on the RCAs is 5.22 V
rms less than 1% THD + Noise. It sports the ability to play DVD-Video, DVD-R/RW, DVD+R/RW, VCD, CD, CD-R/RW, and MP3/WMA-Encoded CD-R/RW Discs. BUT WAIT! I ripped a ton of MP3s to a DVD-R and threw it in... IT PLAYS! That's right, more than 55 full albums at CD quality audio all on a single disc. WOW!
Gotta upgrade the car's electrical system. My alt outputs around 100 amps at idle and 190amp at 2k RPM. I then have 1/0awg wire running to an Optima Red Top.
