Hey everyone - This is my first post here - so i apologize in advance if i violate any rules.
ok here is my dilemma,
my vehicle is : 2007 Scion Tc
My amp : Hifonics Zeus ZXI 6006
MY Sub's : 2 12 Inch Kicker Compvr's
My Headunit : Panasonic Strada
I want my system to kick HARD, it does with some songs, but sometimes the song will start off kicking pretty hard & about 30 seconds in to the song, the bass lowers gradually - changing individual speaker volumes doesn't do anything.
i also have a 2 Farad Rockford Fosgate CAP.
Now, im wondering, can i put 2 Hifonic Zeus ZXI 6006 Amps in my car to power the subs or is that too much power per sub and will it blow the sub ?
i currently have one amp powering both speakers, however, i was thinking of acquiring a second hifonics zeus amp and individually hooking them up to the speakers, one amp per speaker.
too much power you think ?
i need some expert advice, if i can't make these go louder i was thinking of upgrading to the Kicker L7's and putting 2 amps on those cause those are like 700 watts RMS according to the kicker website.
help me out guys. |

What impedance are the subs wired to? The pair can handle more than a single Zeus will put out. |

I'm not sure what impedance they are set to - i didn't wire them up, a local shop wired them up for me and then i went back 2 -3 weeks later and asked if there was anyway i could make the speakers kick harder with that single amp, so the guy did some re-wiring from the amp to the speakers, and it wss a tad bit bassier but not much.
so the 12 inch cvr's can handle 1 zeus amp each @ full 12 volts ?
i just wanna go as loud as possible without blowing them up and without having to buy L7's
i dunno ...
any recommendations ?
thanks exigeaudio for your reply's |

The first step is gonna be to find out what load they're wired to. We'll also need to know whether each is a DVC 2 ohm sub or a DVC 4 ohm sub. The shop will be able to tell you that info. Once you know that stuff we can figure out how to get stuff fixed up for you. |
