Very cool pics of that camaro set-up. Here's what I'm running as of now (posted some pics as well):

Source Unit: Pioneer DEH-P7500mp
Amps: Crossfire VR1000D (Subs)
Crossfire VR404 (Component Set)
Subs: Crossfire BMF W12Ds (Pair)
Component Speakers: Crossfire SQ-6.0 (Doors)
Other Speakers: Crossfire SX69 (Rear Dash)
Crossfire SX52 (Trunk Lid)
Battery: Optima Red Top
Alternator: Ohio Generator
Alarm: AutoPage RS LCD-850

As you can tell, I'm a big fan of Crossfire (click on the link, look around and you'll find out why).

Yes, as you mentioned, different meters read different ways. However, the lower they read, the more accurate they are. Sensors are always going to be more accurate than mic meters (with the exception of the B&K which is the most accurate meter on the planet). The reason for this is that mic meters are affected more by humidity and other factors. A pressure sensor does not have those problems.

The best one out right now is the Termlab which was developed by Wayne Harris (the Godfather of Car Audio Competition and former big dog for Rockford Fosgate back in their prime.)

Yeah, the cheap, handheld meters are the ones that read me way high.

In closing, when it comes to car audio competitions, I'm going to go with Pioneer Sources, Crossfire Amps, and Digital Designs subs.

And to all you JLW7 lovers, their 3500 series way put ya'll away anytime, anyplace.

That's just my opinion though.

I have 2 Memphis 12's 600watt each in a 38inch long , 18inch wide box and im taking those speakerz out of that box and plan on taking the back seatz out of my eclipse and building a smaller box to put those speakers in and stickin it in place of where the back seatz were. It'll be tricky but i think i can pull it off, but to my question.......what kinda amp do u think i need to push those 2 600watt subz? at a prace range around 200$?

 

cool

 

it really depends on what kind of money you are looking to spend and what you want to hear. if you are looking for a tight budget but decent sound, go with the Alpine type R's the are only about 200 a piece, they sound pretty good and are easy to fine (best buy). if you have the money and are looking for a sub that is very loud WITH good sound quality go with JL Audio W7-12, these subs are UNbelievable sounding and they are loud, TRUST me on that! each one of the w7-12 is anywhere from 575 - 750, but for good sound you have to spend good money, if you go with JL Audio, you will have to upgrade your Alternator. if you are on the same budget as the JL but all you want to do is blow your ears off and dont care about the sound quality go with a Kicker Solo-x, these subs will deaden your ears, when you speak you won't be able to hear it! these range anywhere from 599-999. BUT if you don't have a budget and are looking for the BEST and i mean THE BEST Digital Design is your sub! these are made to be the best, and that's wha they are, but they aren't cheap, a high end 12 is about 1400 + shipping.

 

i can go to the sunrise flea market in florida and find a pair of 12 inch subs brand new for 100 and there boomin with at least 800 watts of power a peice you gotta find the deals before u buy things lol
