    LoL@well worth it. If by well worth it you mean another piece of **** equipment piece that is junk and makes it sound even worse then it did before, then sure. I bet it's gonna be well worth it. For real though please explain exactly what it does (if you even know). This sounds like one of the installs I've seen before where the ppl "wanted it done right" so tweeters were screwed into the a pillar panels, all wires visible, and amps sitting loosely in the trunk with the wires just shoved into the terminals with no ends on them.

    I think what everyone is saying is good luck, You may need it with power acoustik. It has a well earned reputation in the audio community, apparantly what we know of it, and what you think of it are polar opposites.

    Did I say anything about Rockford or Lightning? No.
    Is Rockford a good brand of sub? No.
    Is this thread absolutely retarded? YES.

    maybe he is doing what he can afford. the enclosure and layout might be awsome. so in the future he might jump to a higher end sub.

    I have only ran name brand before that was rockford about 4 years ago. ever since then. just ebay brands. doesn't matter how exspensive or good they might or might not be. it is how you display them ore set them up. I have seen some pretty ****ty kmart subs in the right box. kill some other brands out there.

    why does everyone have to hate.

    It is one of the 2 things they are good at.

    1 Hating

    1) It's not hating, you jackass
    2) You are only saying this because you drive a riced out waste of a Prelude and you get called out all the time on here.

    I'll call shenanagins on this one. Crappy gear leads to crappy results no matter how good the enclosure is. Good gear can still sound crappy without a proper enclosure though.

    also for what he is spending on the subs, he can get better quality. Something like an IDMAX 12 will sound MUCH better.

    he says that jimmy because to the un trained ear.. shiit sounds good.. trust me .. when i used to work in audio shops i'd hear so much distortion in jimmy rigged cars till i'd get mad.. but the owners would swear up and down it sounded great.. until they sit in my car.... cheap audio results in cheap results.. remember that.. rule of thumbs when it comes to anything you purchase.. do your research.. you get what you pay for .. .

    No, its not "damn good". Its still low end gear no matter what you think. Would you mind telling us how much you paid for all that "damn good" gear? I can assure you I can think of 3 combos that will sound better, cost less and most likely get louder at the same time.

    So what you are saying is that you don't care how horrible it sounds as long as it is loud? HAHAHAHAAHHAAHA!

    News Flash: That is NOT "damn good." That is garbage. You don't think your daddy bought anything you own? Does that mean you still believe in Santa Claus? Or that you bought everything yourself? You make no sense. I should ban you for being underage and lying about your birthday on your profile, but lets just see how this plays out.

    everyone started off with a ****ty system that they thought was the SHIIT.... IE me.. my 1st system was 4 mtx black road thunder 10's and 2 pioneer 760 amps... i thought i was the shiit.. until i read up on other systems and heard other peoples systems and quickly found out just because you turn the gain all the way up on the amp and wire things positive to positive and negative to negative doesnt mean its right and sounds good to the trained ear

    funny. Before I quit working to goto school I paid more in taxes a week than you make in a week. Then again I also had bills like a mortgage, insurance, car, and lights to worry about.

    my IQ went down 30 points reading that shiit......... who has 10 grand in there system on here.. raise ya hand * looks around* nobody.... so if 1 15 on 2000 watts hit 142 on this "scale" then another 15 with 2000watts would mean it would hit 284 on this scale.. and last time i checked you'd go def after 30 seconds in 180 DB or higher... good look with your GROUND POUND SYSTEM myfriend
