That is a great amp. I had one of those back in the day that ran 2 12's and a pair of components. Mine was a punch 60 though:thumbsup They definitely dont build amps like that anymore.

Punch 60 worked good for 2 JL 10's and some components:beer

Mine too. I then stepped up and bought a punch 40 for the mids and highs and powered just the subs with the 60. those were the good ole days of the X-card and making your own crossovers...LOL

Funny thing is for what that 60 cost and those JL's you could buy twice as much equipment today:):hmm

On a side note my Rhino is about done and pretty loud:skull

I will take some in the next couple days.

Simple..

Blue Top Optima
800 Watt (not really) Scoshe 4 channel amp
pods front/rear
2 Polk momo 6x9's
2 Polk Momo 6.5's
10" Kicker CVT in a home made sealed box. (not a ton of room under the seat but I think I got close to .85 ft

Plays rock great. Sub and box are a little small for pounding rap bass on high volume.

did you stuff the box with pillow fill to "trick' the sub into thinking its in a larger box? with 2 bags you should be able to get the sound of a 1 ft box.

I filled it up quite a bit with polyfill. I didn't pack it solid/dense but there is alot in there.

It will get the party started but its hard to bang hard in a open air enviroment with a single 10.

Yah, all the ones I have heard with s single really didt hit too hard. the system I had designed for the old one would have done OK with 8 6x9s and 2 12s. Im glad we never finished it as The thing was heavy enough as it was.

I put a blue top under the hood in the middle. Custom battery holddown that I got from No Limitz motorsports.

Are you running a surepower isolator with your set up?

I ordered one but I don't think the stator is gonna work all that well. I will probably install it just in case but bring a charger for the optima.

It won't fit in the glove box. I imagine it's 10-12" wide 12-14" long and about 2.5" deep. The punches also get pretty hot.

What are your plans? It's only a 2 channel amp so you could wire 4 speakers together but not a sub.

It would be alot louder than the HU:)

Actually with the end caps off its pretty small and will mostlikely fit in the glove box. I would also think heat wise it wouldbe OK. and if he wanted to get involved witrh caps and coils he could run the 6.5s and a single 10 off of it...although running it that way it would get pretty warm and would need continuous airflow over the heat sinks. if you just run it to the 6.5s it would be considerably louder than the head unit.

Right now I have a pair of 6.5's and a pair of 5x7's run by a Sony HU. I'm just trying to make it a little louder and ditch the HU for an amp. I don't want to do a sub at this point or a 2nd battery.

Measure the glove box and order the best amp that will fit. I personally don't think you will find a good amp with decent power that will fit there but who knows.

A decent amp will make it a decent amount louder. The 5x7's will probably be louder and I would probabloy grab a 4 channel amp so you can adjust the gain on each channel for max output.

Most of the crappy no name amps that are smalll enough to fit in teh glove box won't make it that much louder.

I ordered one but I don't think the stator is gonna work all that well. I will probably install it just in case but bring a charger for the optima.

I just ran them in parallel. Seems to work fine. I notice when I have my hid's on, and stereo I drop down to about 10 volts (I installed a Gaffrig volt gauge). You pretty much can't run both at night for any lengh of time. I just run one or the other. My stereo doesn't have a head unit, just a 5 channel MTX marine amp. The hid's are 35watts x 4. Not sure how may amps it all draws, but the stator can't keep up.

I thought I could run a perko switch and put an optima under the seat, but I haven't killed it yet, so I just kinda blew it off.

Those HID's sholdn't hurt you that much...

Maybe try one of the odysseys stand alone for the stereo and the the lights on the other battery hooked to the stator.

Get home and re charge the stereo battery.
