dumbest question ever
there is this place called xscargo ...they are basically a luqidation store. They care car audio ... http://www.xscargo.com/flyers/flyer.pdf prices are in canada funds. OK ...so anyways, normally, i go there...and buy a 10"sub in a box...remove the sub and put my own good brand sub in the box. So i end up getting a sub box for 30 bucks for 1 10" sub. Odd enough the EXACT same brand of box is sold at nearly every stero shop for well over 100 bucks I just wanted to make it clear why i even consider that place for car audio before you guys mocked me here is my question....they have a mobile authority 300 watt amp ....69.99... do you people think that a guy is better off running deck power to his 4x6 plate, and 6x9 2-way speakers or one of those amps? ... or is the deck power much more cleaner to feed to the speakers ? |

dumbest question ever
I am not a big fan of mobile authority. Lets just leave it at that.
Dont confuse them with MA audio. IMHO US acoustics amps are better for that price. I think you can get US acoustics amps for under $80 new and some used on ebay and crutchfield. They make a 65x2 and an 85x2, that are rated at 13V and will put up rated power. Generally mobile authority amps are drastically over rated, so their 150x2 amps really only do 55x2.

BTW, they are the same company, just two different product lines. The MA
Audio line just happens to be a tad higher-end. Both are designed and made by the same people. I had the opportunity to discuss it at length with one of their designers/installers at a dBDrag World Finals a couple years ago. Brandonb sanitarium wrote: I am not a big fan of mobile authority.

acoustics amps for under $80 new and some used on ebay and crutchfield I looked into their amps while "designing" a low-end system for a friend of mine. They seem like a hell of a deal. Their USB-4085 amp is rated at 85x4 at 12.9 Volts, with a THD% of "less than 0.01". and it comes with a 3 year warranty. Crutchfield sells it for $179.99 he http://www.crutchfield.com/cgi-bin/S...p?s=0&c=3&g=12 0&I=235USB4085&o=m&a=0&cc=01&avf=N |

dumbest question ever
or is the deck power much more cleaner to feed to the
speakers ? Deck power is not as powerful as that amp, so therefore the output signal will not be "cleaner" with deck power at normal to louder listening levels. |

" i go there...and buy a 10"sub in abox...remove the sub and put my own good brand sub in the box. So i end up getting a sub box for 30 bucks for 1 10" sub. Odd enough the EXACT same brand of box is sold at nearly every stero shop for well over 100 bucks I just wanted to make it clear why i even consider that place for car audio before you guys mocked me" My friend bought one of those subs and box... Here's the problem, with the normal 10" sub that comes with the box made the box leak air. He sealed it up a bit more and it works fine. The other thing about them is, the use fibreboard, or what ever you wanna call it. They're not bad boxes if you have a lower powered sub, or just wanting a little boom in the trunk, but you are probably best off building one, or just getting the expensive one. |
