Put in your numbers at the very bottom and see what the figures look like for yourself.

I had an installer at the local BB tell me that some low end kenwood deck was the same as alpines imprint cause it could do time alignment and thats all imprint was.

Making a few posts on a car audio site makes you smarter than fs or bb car audio sales person.

The big box stores gets the factory B grade items. (as per fourms when BB in the USA got to sell Alpine)

I don't mean to brag or anything, but my local BB car audio sales guys know very little about car audio (a total of 2 knew about Cerwin Vega ie my old subs, and one heard my setup and I told him I did a 138.6, he said he was probably doing 150, and he had 1 JBL 12 in the JBL box) and the one who did know stuff quit. I mean, I'm sure there are guys that know a lot, I would just assume they're few and far between.

anyways, no new ones from me, but some of you guys have some hilarious additions

technically it can lol.......for example, 3 10" in a small crx box are nearly maxed out with 7-10k. My no-wall set-up with 2 18" and 10k "clamped" and the subs are hardly working. thats why in SS vehicles, each sub can take nearly 40k without breaking.
