ok. about a month ago, i bought 2 pairs of polk audio db650s from circuit city and the guy told me i'd be fine with my stock head unit (LIAR). after about 3 weeks i installed the backs. i didnt feel like doing the fronts, so i took it to a local car audio shop and said i would clip the speakers if i ran them off my stock deck. he said that underpowering them is as bad as overpowering. i wasnt gonna buy a deck cus i like the stock look on my all black interior, but i was wondering what black mp3 decks are out there for a reasonable price, and where they can be purchased from. any pics will help. thanks.
btw- circuit city SUCKS! |

LoL! Your installer is right! Underpowering a speaker is like overpowering one.
As a DJ by profession I bought (2) 18" Peavey Black Widow's a couple of months back and ran them on a 800x2 amp... one of the blew, i brought it back to the peavey dealer and he was in shock, no one has ever blew a 18" peavey, so he started asking me questions, he finally asked me how much power i was running to them and i told em around 500 to 700 watts (with the gains on the amp about 3/4)... he laughed and said u underpowered them... so now i run 1500 watts nominal to each speaker, never had a problem since.... |
