WOOT! just yesterday i put in my Merlin MD2, Orion 500.4, and ran all new Knu Koncepts Krystal Kable RCAs. And WOW does the Merlin amp rock my L7s!!! its rated at 1500w, then later rated at 1800w, and its been benched at 2000w! Unfortunatly, i smell my voice coils burning a lil bit. imma hafta back down my gains.
i also have some unwanted noise coming from my speakers . Knu Koncepts tells me it prolly the HU ground or amp internal ground, but i dunno about it being my HU cause it didnt do this on my JL 300/4. Anyways, they gave me some stuff to check for them, im gonna do that tommorrow. But today i got MORE problems! My BRAND NEW Eclipse cd8445's screen stopped working! Good thing its under warranty. whew! but additionally, im getting another noise from the speakers thats RPM dependant. and that really worries me cause that means it could be the HU. well well find out soon. and ill try to get some pix posted of my new setup for you guys.

hell ya that should handle it the system sounds pretty sweet congrats on the upgrades hope you didnt fry your voice coils were did you find that powerful of a altenator the only ones i can find are 160
nah, my voice coils are fine. they just needed to fart a lil, theyre cool now. where did you look for alts? cause i used to get mine on ebay from motor city reman. he sells em cheap, but they only go up to 160amp for s-body trucks. i think iraggi sells em a lil higher on ebay. but this irraggi i bought from a guy at caraudio.com. he put it on ebay and i won it. also if you want a really good HO alt, or if you need 1 that goes up to like 300-400amps, check out excessive amperage alts. theyre extremely good alts.

thanx. i got a new problem now though  . my brand new eclipse deck isnt working right. the screen shuts off sometimes, but its under warranty. the guy i bought it from (owner of good vibes), told me if i ever had a problem with it i could bring it in for an exchange. so i went there for an exchange (owner wasnt working), and the guy there said there were no 8445's in stock. so he said id hafta send it in for repair. i asked how long it'd take, he said 3 FREAKIN WEEKS!!! I was sooo pissed. so i asked for a loaner deck, and he said they dont do that. so im like "WTF am i supposed to do?". im a delivery driver, so im ALWAYS in my blazer. he called the owner and the owner told him to give me some old nakamichi deck. its old as hell, has no mp3 capabilities, no EQ, nothing, it sux. but i held out hope for it. i put it in and the SQ sux asshole. and on top of that, theres something wrong with the sub preouts. im getting alot of unwanted noise from the subs. Im SOOO freaking pissed about this. im gonna flip out at him on monday!!

thats weird, nakamichi is known for great quaility stuff, i had a nak. 12" 2 years ago off 200 rms in a sealed box and it hit every single note, sounded amazing. maybe that deck IS a little too old 
make sure you kick him in the dink salesman hate that.
