Hi everyone...

First time poster and First time reader...

About a month ago I brought the following for my car after ripping out the sony Xplod install...
Head Unit : Alpine CSA-7876RB

Fronts : Pioneer TSC1625

Rears : Eclipse 82641

Amp : Eclipse PA5422

Subs : Eclipse 87121.4

Subs were running off the rear channels but were slightly underpowered.

Custom box.
Perspex back, ( can see in from back seat, White lining and UV Neon tube inside )

And over the weekend I have installed a Lazar Vibe 255 1400w AMP, OMFG! finally the Subs are running properly.

But I feel I need to get something else.
any suggestions would be great.

Just feel like spending more money, eh? hehe well maybe you should consider getting some dynamat or brown bread to line your trunk and/or your front doors. You'd be surprised at how much better it will make your overall sound.

What kind of vehicle is all this stuff installed in? And how is your electrical system handling the extra load (2 amplifiers) so far?

What is the install in? Well A Honda Inspire 5Cyl ( Basically a Acura Vigor )How does it handel the extra load? When I had my xplod gears it used to dim the lights something cronic.I have not noticed that with my new setup, and it has a lot more power.But yeah sound deadner sounds like a good idea.

thanks

I would seriously think about a high powered alternator if you dont have one already. I am sure it is being worked twice as hard to keep your battery charged with two amps hooked up. I went thru two alternators a few years back. I even had a cap hooked into the system. I would think about that. I cant think of anything else needed at this time though.
