    How do the M series amps stack up to the discontinued A series and what are the differences between the CDM 880 and the 3.5” prototype?

    Classic high end equipment. Throwback!

    What exactly would you like this thread to encompass? Amp specs or wallet flex?

    Mosconi AS100.4 vs One 130.4

    One thing to consider is getting the one with more power simply because the Morel CDM 880 (3.5”) and the Mt350 tweets run at six ohms. Either amp will be good as Mosconi makes a solid product. I would check the dimensions of each if space is an issue or you want to hide the install. The AS line...

    What’s the new Forum Boner?

    I can spin the tires at will through about half of third gear. Steeda and BMR both make some serious suspension upgrades that will help a lot. To really pound on it from a stop, you need drag radials at minimum, then the clutch, half shafts and driveshaft are next to be upgraded.   I went with...

    What’s the new Forum Boner?

    Nice car.  Which supercharger are you going with?  The edelbrock is looking real nice about now and you can’t go wrong with whipple. Depending on what you use the car for, a twin turbo setup really makes the S550’s go like stink. After all, if you want to play with the big boys in Houston, you...

    $90 what to buy?

    SQ Vs SLP Real life applications

    Not sure about the budget aspect for a complete system for around 1k dollars, maybe I’m out of touch but a set of custom a-pillar pods can cost that much alone. I will agree with most else in this statement.  DIYMA is more of a no holds barred circle jerk of knowledge and exotic equipment than...

    Subwoofer recommendation

    I have a pair of the BM MKvs and they are very nice sounding, definitely geared more toward SQ.  I have them in the minimum size box and they just rock.  I have also heard a pair of them in a F-150 install and they rocked out pretty darn good.  I dare say I like them more than my old Boston Pros.

    Post your first system

    I had an S-10 with two kicker 15s. The front had Boston acoustic 4x6 plates and the rear had Boston 6x9s in a cheesy bit passable rear mdf plate I hacked up to fit over the 5x7 hole.  The front and rear were on a sound stream reference 604 and the kickers ran on an Alpine V12 two channel...

    Need subwoofer/amplifier/enclosure selection help!

    https://stereointegrity.com/product/hst12-12-subwoofer/ In that case I’d do one of these or a pair of the BM MKVs.  About the same price either way. They also have some of the best customer service around.

    Need subwoofer/amplifier/enclosure selection help!

    I put a pair of the Stereo Integrity BM MKVs in my 2017 and am satisfied with them.  Keeping in mind they are more of an SQ sub and not sheer output.  I chose them to save on weight and also still have a usable trunk.  They also make some pretty badass regular format 12's and 15's that require...

    Amp to match 80rms/170max watts & power reserve

    I don’t think you could even fit that much gear in a metro. Lol at the image.  It made me think of that episode of Roadkill when they had the trailer for the blower.  Edit:  reading comprehension is key. Even funnier when it’s horsepower and not watts.

    Amp to match 80rms/170max watts & power reserve

    I think the trick is finding the sweet spot between more than enough and too much.  Just because the amp can put out a gagillion Watts, doesn’t mean you have to use it all.
