My system isn't super powerful so it doesn't drain much of anything.

I have a 55x4 RMS alpine amp and 200w infinity basslink sub, and a JVC SH9500 head unit (with the internal amp turned off). I forget if the sub is 100w RMS or 200

eitehr way it isn't more than 450 watts total power being used constantly so I don't really worry about the battery dieing

Does the sub slam so hard that it makes you shut your ears when sub is before distortion level?, Sorry but im just wondering hehe. I want to know how loud bass is at 200watts thats why

i never turn it up. Its tuned for non-distortion at the moment and the gain is about 1/3 down.

I've never really tried to blast the sub with teh gain set all the way up and the radio turned up b/c I don't see the point.

It hits plenty hard how I have it set up right now, and my radio has a sub preout and lets me adjust the output level to the sub from the head unit. I have it set on 4 out of 8 most of the time

haha wow, Yeah having a loud system is nice but when its super rattleing loud it gets to be a bug. But anyways im getting a Resonant Engineering 8 and im going to power it on 200watts. It should be pretty loud but it won't be a system that you can hear me from blocks away but thats alright.. Thats good right? I mean at least my neighbors might not complain because they can barley hear it. My neighborhood street is like 20ft. away from peoples houses so I think im fine right? So one 8 on 200watts full blast won't rattle anyones house windows or walls right? I don't want no problems because I don't want to get into trouble.

I'll just turn it down when I come down the neighborhood

I got half my back of my car dynamated so i have no rattle. Dynamat is not cheap but if you know how to put it on you can stop any kind of rattle. I got a 10in crossfire p3 in the back of a miata and i dynamated the crap out of that car and there is no rattle. I installed a eclipse 5 volt and a wireless iPod connection to it so he can use his iPod.

If you are going to use 8in sub i would say use a solo baric 8in $125/ea. I would say get 2 get a vented box and you would be set. get a nice 400watt amp like a crossfire. Or you can get a nice set of 8in DB3 subs from crossfire. http://www.crossfirecaraudio.com

OK the key to dynomating is what makes rattles. In are case two parts of the car that vibrate together. Then your Gaul is to fine those two parts and put the dynomat around that area. Like what i did was i put it on top of the hatch and on the bottom where it locks. Put it in any place where to parts are touching. Sense i am going to a bigger sub and more power i am going to dynomat the hole inside right of the hatch and where it lays. My bumper vibrates a lot but i cant not stop that with out taking it off and putting dynomat on the back of it. Like in the miata i dynomated we put it around the trunk and where it lays. and alot of little peaces on the bottom of the trunk because there are alot of cross bar's that go across the trunk. We just cut out little peaces of dynomat and stuck them under it. and i put some where the trunk locks to on the trunk and on the frame. That miata does not rattle anymore. So just think about that 2 peaces vibrate together make rattles find them and put dynomat on both and it salved are problem.

i love not having to turn the gain up or anything....I alittle wierd though, I turn my amp all the way up (bass wise) and my bass control all the way, and I listen at like volume 25 (out of 30) for my alpine. Now thats perfect for me, becuase any higher then 25 and the crappy speakers in my doors start to cut out and all that fun jazz, and the bass is well beautiful, running 2 kicker comp vrs in a plexiglass 4 port box with about 125 rms to each, not much but still sounds nice. Anyway, I love it becuase I can get the same bass at volume 15(out of 30) if I turn up the bass on the head unit, which I run at -6 (goes to +6) hehe, I can run 10 out of 30 if I turn on LOUD HIGH too lol, you can hear my bass outside the car at volume 1 and I can't even put my ear close enough to the regular speakers to hear the music lol.
