Yeah. According to Mickey under renovation daw

But if you do need to access the prices (which at times I do), simply access the Google cache version. Just add "cache:" before the URL. However, parang down na rin yun cache version

Had my audio set up by mickeys. JL audio c2-650 seps, infinity 6502ix coax for rear fill, RF JPS 1008 underseat sub, jbl gto 804 ampli plus deadeners on front doors. Went over my budget but couldn't be happier, parang lumulutang sounds sa loob ng sasakyan ko. Stuck in traffic? Nooooo problem : )

Thanks jhnkvn for bearing with a newbie :bowako

No problem. We're all newbies once din naman Hope you enjoy your new ICE system!

Either the PP BK or the Hifonics Brutus. Personally, I'll go for the Hifonics. They're a pretty niche amplifier manufacturer but I like them ;)

Guys, need ko lang ng amp na mga 4500-5000 range lang. If may suggestions na mas maganda dito sa pilipinas, please pasabi.
Kunin ko kasi from the states itong mga choices ko kasi mura.

Cadence Flash FXA2400-4
MB Quart OA800.4
Precision Power BK520.4

ito lang kasi mga $100 na parang maganda. if may suggestions kayo dito. I asked around kasi dito sa mga shops and for 4000 they're just offering mga "Q-amp" brands.

Cadence 2400 = 150 x 4 / 600w x 2 bridged (4ohm)
MB quart OA800.4 = 100 x 4 / 400w x 2 bridged (4ohm)
Precision Power Black Ice 520.4 = 95 x 4 / 260w x 2 bridged (4ohm)

Iniisip ko if pwede ba yun cadence kasi parang sobrang taas naman nung RMS niya, gamitin ko sana with JBL 609c na kukunin ko dito nalang pagpapakabit ako. wala naman ako makita na spec sheet nung cadence from their site kaya medyo hesitant ako. Pahelp lang sana. Need na kasi decision today kasi pabibili na ko para abot before christmas. Thanks guys.

Precision Power Black Ice.

You won't see them in the Philippines... Sedona parin ata yun binebenta ng mga tao dito. Even then, PH prices are priced exorbitantly when the products come from the United States.

I don't like the Cadence because they publish peak numbers. I don't like the MB Quartz because they're marketing their topology as an "SQ" topology which there isn't.

The difference between 95W to 150W is simply 2 decibels. Stop placing too much emphasis on wattage. Place more emphasis on speaker efficiency -- driver sensitivity if you want something loud.

But un precision power puts out 260 w lang pag bridged. Enough ba to for subwoofer?

Yes it is. Just make your subwoofer more efficient. A subwoofer's performance is way dependent on its enclosure more than anything else.

I can get a subwoofer, throw it in a ported 3cu.ft enclosure then feed it 300W to beat the exact same subwoofer but in a sealed 1cu.ft enclosure and feed it 1000W of power and still the 300W will be louder. Given this, it's best to simply optimize the design of an enclosure more than feeding it more power (which translates into lesser fuel efficiency btw)
