I'm trying to
downgrade my setup, not increase it!
Do you realize a true 4000w amp will draw 533A @ 12.5v (assuming 60% amp eff)?!?! Talk about a clear example of the benefits of higher voltage...

my buddy just bought a jl audio 1000/1 v2 from a pawn shop fo $300 This is a $700 amp. check your local pawnshop they usually have nice power tools too

Jl audio amps are a little low on the damping factor IIRC. They may work ok for mids/highs, but subs are a little more power hungry. But, I assume that is class D. Despite the high efficiency, I don't like the sound of class D amps, even on subs. I don't know what it is but I can hear the difference. Class AB for me baby!

My current setup 1x12" on 600w was measured at 140.1db, but wasn't really set up for SPL - just wanted to see what it would do. This in my current setup:
Trunk with cooling grate:
Same pic with false floor removed. You can also see where I stow my tire changing tools.
This is the small area out near the back (in pic 1 and 2). This is where all the connections are made. I can simply unhook everything within 20 seconds and pull the whole thing out if I want. Even with everything in, I can still get to my spare tire.
So far, hippie has an 4x50 MTX amp that sounds like it will work. Just sorting out the details. If that falls through, then
this is probably something I'll be looking at. I'd like to find something here from a fellow member, because I do have a few tradeable items.
