QUOTE(supersound @ Nov 11 2009, 01:00 AM) When using smaller power cables to car amp, current draw is limited to its size and length. And have to consider the output from alternator also. By using bigger cables(overkills it) will prevent such problem. Howie : I don't know how to say on this, I'll just relate it to current marketing gimmick. Then it will be much easier to answer your questions. Cannot deny that putting more power from amp to driver do bring out more details, but does it really true clean power we are putting in? There's always arguement between marketing and technical department on this. HU's output power is 15WRMS, if you connect it to low efficient drivers, for sure it will sound bad. 1 thing for sure, no matter how clean the signal is, without proper power, just forget about the control....

if u bridge the zapco for passive setup maybe u can get gud result. if wanna play active, then have to try pdx d. i believe zapco has better potential on the bass section if bridged. if possible try to listen first. i personally dun quite like PDX, design wise is ok, very plastic feel tho, but SQ wise the signal is not so clean for its price, class D ma. haha. may i know how much u got quoted for these 2 amps?

26XX? damn, dats expensive for dat kinda SQ. i recommend u to get a 2nd hand amp. gud amps are made to last, and 2nd hand are at least 30% cheaper than new ones. so with 2k, u can a hell of an amp. try to ask zenn bout his STEG K4.02, dats gud shit. STEG + focal is oso a nice combo.

2 diffrent sound. mid and hi is gud, bass is a little dry, so depends on individuals. overall it's a very gud amp for dat price, it's roughly 500 euro for a new one. there are ppl dat dislike steg. for the money u saved can use to do soundproof and buy better cables  pm me if u r interested to discuss further.

vifa only available as individual drivers, they dont have component sets, but they do supply other ICE brands that use their speakers to make their component sets, like alpine, mcintosh, orion, a/d/s, all once upon a time la haha....old skool stuff
1.2k plus can get DLS R6A, Focal Polyglass, Boston SL60, Alpine Type X, etc etc
