ps- everything is hidden and you can't tell it's not the stock system until you turn on the music :D

I used Stereo 1 in Northridge for my 2018 Explorer. Very happy with the work they did and the prices were as good or better than any of the other half dozen or so places I seriously looked in to. I had 2 amps, a dsp and a bunch of speakers installed. Everything worked as it should when they were...

Nice- thanks for the rundown and advice. 

After a little uneducated digging I got this short list of quality [min. of 8ch out] DSPs. Add to the list if you know of any in this league in terms of quality and features. Some of them are too expensive for my budget but I put them on the list because if there's a good clear reason to spend...

Here's the latest list. Running 4ch at 4ohms, Class D unless otherwise noted: Hertz HDP4 (150w) --- 100Hz @ 4Ω THD .08%---$449 Alpine PDX-F6 (150w)---0.05% THD+N @ rated power--- $470 JL Audio XD400/4v2 (75w) --- @ 2 Ohm THD 1%---$430 Zed Draconia (175w)--- 4 ohm 20Hz-20KHz--- From...

That's a beast of an amp. Pretty sure it wouldn't fit the spot I have for the amp though I will measure just in case.

Thanks Trumpet. So you're saying 150w isn't overkill even though the speakers are rated for 100w continuous. I like loud but SQ is more important overall and it seems like the Hertz is pretty high on the list- the install place did a good job so I'm leaning towards that now. Compiling a list-...

Thanks- looking at the Draconia now. Running 4ch at 4ohms: Hertz HDP4 (150w) --- 100Hz @ 4Ω THD .08% Alpine PDR F50 (85w) --- 4 Ohm@14.4 V =0.09% THD JL Audio XD400/4v2 (75w) --- @ 2Ohm THD 1% Zed Draconia (175w)--- no THD info given Zapco ST-204D BT (180w)--- THD @ Rated Power...

lol- sorry. Said I was newb HDP4 is delivering 150w based on how I'm reading it (4ch/4ohm). I read was it's good to have an amp that's slightly over powered so there's plenty of headroom. If that's true then the HDP4 is still in the running or are you saying I'm better off with something a...

Looking for a 4ch amp to power Hertz ESK 300w RMS comps and ESK 300w [back doors] coax speakers. Looking at 1000w RMS range amps as my newb understanding is that will end up being 125w roughly to each of the 4 doors. There's a Bit 10 installed now along with a mono RF amp for the 12" sub in...

Thanks, I'll give them both a call.

Im looking to get a Bit 10 installed along with getting it dialed in. Any suggestions to someone in the greater Los Angeles area with the proper tools and experience?

JL was quick to reply. TwK D8 is expected to start shipping in July.

Great- appreciate that. I'll keep an eye out, maybe email JL directly to see if they can give me an estimate of when I can get it.
