QUOTE(supersound @ Nov 10 2009, 08:56 PM) Kenwood eXcelon series have a good review. But too bad Malaysia not selling. Anyway there's lots of possible cause to make an amp hot, like : Using too small power cable run too low impedance Don't know why nowadays people like to see big numbers. A pair of good tweeters with 10W of clean power is more than enough to fry your ears. more power can brings out more details and more linear response for 99% of drivers . There's no stuff with great sound but less power. does it? Headunit can produce 15rms, but why it sound bad compare to we give it an amp with 30rms? |

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.... |

QUOTE(bafukie @ Mar 11 2010, 09:22 AM) eclipse 7100 or 7000. Less than 1 k, i prefer it over p80 or 9887/9855 equivalent. 1 more vote from me.....if u had used 7100 b4, u will regret to change to p80 although it seems more better than 7100 in specs...

dun get 9887. it's a waste of money (even though i selling it)
for the imprint setting, i think you guys mean the auto setting for imprint?
the auto setup is bullshit. same with p80. in fact, all auto tuning is like shit. they do not take into account of car acoustic environment.
if u can maximise your own setting by using the imprint, it will sound quite ok. but it still dun worth it if u gonna buy the imprint and hu together.

QUOTE(craziechild @ Oct 10 2010, 11:09 AM) any speakers without power amp are normally not working at their optimum point... hence it doesnt sound as good as you would expect it to be, or could be better than without a power amp...  that's only apply to some speaker....most newer designed speaker are able to run optimum from 20-40rms nowadays...which mean u can run the speaker from hu properly. Sound quality wise, it depend on how much u willing to pay. |
