I guess you just get used to 1k rms and it isnt even loud anymore. So then people want 2k. That's just how it works. If people want loud as f*ck, then they will get it. |

Gold Member Username: WingmanaliveA pic is worth 1000 posts!! Post Number: 9957 Registered: Jun-06 | Man car stereos are getting to be like tv's. When I was young if you had a 19" color tv you were special. Now anything less than 60" and you're squinting. If you had 500w in your car you were head of the class. Today that's considered low end entry level. If you were to pull a marty mcfly and show the locals a 20k system you would make the evening news. |

Silver Member Username: JtownPost Number: 318 Registered: Mar-07 | my 500w system I had was pretty d@mn loud, but I didn't realize how bad the SQ was until I got a single 12 on 1000w...which is louder at some fqs. But I'm satisfied. |

Silver Member Username: ShadeMoxee, Wa U.S. Post Number: 391 Registered: Nov-06 | i started on 1000rms, then went to 1600, and now i'm thinkin hard about going up higher.. the reason u ask....cuz i want to see what it takes to not be able to breath hardly. i remember in my older bro's Caddy, i coudn't swallow my saliva, the bass hit soo hard, i'm trying to achieve that. |

Gold Member Username: Skibum12189Cleveland Post Number: 1617 Registered: Mar-06 | i went from 1000 rms 12" to 2 12s on 1600 rms, but now im back down to 2 12s on like 1200 rms, but it'll be the cleanest sounding setup...got tired of bumpin so damn loud....after a while it was totally unnecessary |

Gold Member Username: Skibum12189Cleveland Post Number: 1618 Registered: Mar-06 | edit...."so damn loud" ..... for ME that is, some people think that my setup would be nothing |

Gold Member Username: Naledge503Http://com4.runboard.c... Post Number: 1762 Registered: Jun-06 | Does it really matter? You can get just as loud off of 500rms if done properly. If someone wants to spend the money on the electrical upgrades and such, what is it to you? People have different tastes on what they want their system to be. |

Gold Member Username: AdddisorderWest palm, Florida Post Number: 5063 Registered: Jan-06 | just depends alot on how effciant the sub is and even though alot of people have daily setups they still like to be louder then all their friends. even 1k is pushing it on alot of cars because you will need a HO alt and stuff so after you get that you have all this power on tap so why not take advantage of it. |
