QUOTE(ezmeer94 @ Jan 16 2013, 08:37 PM) A few of people sell those hehe Wow... Seriously....Dual mono around 3k Dual mono extreme around 5k or less Or can get sinfoni amplifiers I've kinda given up on running the dyns Active, but more on decision making. when I get something, I hope I can get the best, if not second to it, to avoid using more money than needed in the long run. With my limited budget, I can only do it for 1 thing. Hence, get the best amp or the best drivers (speakers) 1st? =D |

Anything to recommend? =D I'll consider second hand if you're letting go of anything?? previous model had some imitstion going around. not too sure about curent model. dyns comes with 7" mid. make sure the door panel opening can cater for its cone size. years back had a situation wherby the honda stream installed a 7" mid but the door panel opening was like 5" or so. ended up not very promising sound. another route is to custom the door panel to accomadate it. meaning bit of cutting involved n then fibre over it. the dyns 7" mid also has a bigger magnet. meaning the depth of the driver is more. this is not a conventional size as compared to others. so not all cars will have the depth at door panel to accomadate it. if cant fit, then custom door panel will do the job... dats why they have another range known as 242GT. slim mount magnet. for me, speakers makes a bigger difference than amp. |

The RM 2K is just for amps. The dyns are >3k for the esotec system 242. And Yah, i'm very well aware that there will be some custom job involved. Question is a bit or a lot only. My car can fit a 6.5" (6.75" actually =D) Boston S60, and with my installer, there's nothing that can't be customed =D Thanks for the feedback and reminder! 2 votes go to getting the speakers first. Anyone else? I've chosen to do it passive in the end, saves me a bit of hassle tuning them (though I won't fully utilize mu HU =D) |

I've chosen to do it passive in the end, saves me a bit of hassle tuning them (though I won't fully utilize mu HU =D) 100watter amp will be sufficient. if the amp has a low input sensitivity starting from 0.2v then its easily driven. reason being most hu do not really have high voltage pre out. they might advertised saying its 5v or 8v but its not accurate. those numbers are based on without loading. |

another way to make it more amp friendly is-
ur stock passive comes with a 16-18awg inductor size for low pass mw162. since the awg is thin, resistance will be high. hence power loss. u can alwiz upgrade to a thicker core inductor hence lower ohm. the thicker the core the better ac current can flow. hence more lower mids.. if not mistaken ur inductor valued is either 0.39mh or 0.68mh common listening impression on dyns mw102 tweeter - slightly lack on resolution, highs n airyness feel. u can improved by bypassing the tweeter protector on the passive at tweeter high pass. those things are horrible to the sound. |

Amp price always double or triple more than speaker price. If ur speaker is cost 3k, u will need to ready 6k or more to get a proper amp to fully utilise the speaker.
for me, u can go for speaker 1st, amp can upgrade later on. Speaker does make a huge different compare to u change an amp. |
