New Setup
Well as promised (and as the sig dictates), I'm making a new setup. Trashing everything, starting from scratch, etc
Head: Alpine CDA-9835 Comps: Adire Koda 6.1 Front amp: Linear Power 2.2HV Sub: Adire Brahma 15 Sub amp: Cadence ZRS-8 Thoughts? The sub is going in 2.2cf sealed, but I might build a SPL ported box sometime later, something large and tuned in the high 30's just to mess around with, beat up the kids at competitions, etc. Everything is pretty much finalized, I should have ordered the headunit already but I still haven't received my paycheck yet (was supposed to be here on thurs ). Either way, should be done in about a month, gotta love summer jobs that pay well Total cost should be just under $2500 after shipping, extra wiring (adding a 1/0 run, distro block, etc) and everything else.

Re: New Setup
Heard nothing but good things, puts out the power I want at the impedence I want, never heard of anyone ever blowing one, good efficiency, puts out rated power, looks nice, not all that pricey (comparatively)

sounds like my type of equipment ........ I don't care for all of the frills per se - I am far more concerned with performance. The PG amp I just got is the first amp I have ever had with a built in crossover. When I redo the CRX, I will have to use a class D for the bass amp

Re: New Setup
yeah
Over the last several months I've been looking around for negative comments and I still have yet to read anything negative about ANY of their amps. The ZRS-8 is the replacement for the A7HC, and every person I've talked to who owned an A7HC has said it was the best, or very very close to the best mono sub amp they ever owned. It was rated stable at 1ohm, yet many people ran it at .5ohm daily and even .25ohm for competitions and never had the amp break down (though I think a few people said at 1/4ohm the amp would go into protection before too long, go figure). I also went to the local Cadence dealer and asked them about the amps, this very well could have been the salesman in him making things up, but he said that out of the hundreds of Cadence amps they've sold, ONE has been returned for warranty work (he didn't say what had gone wrong with it). All that put together made a pretty powerful argument, so I decided to go with it.

Re: New Setup
cadence are great amps. My friend Frito has one hooked to two PG cyclones, sounds bad a**. Why the Brahma? Why not the 12Ov2? or the new ed stuff? What about the XXX, if you are going SPL, I would rather go XXX or Av2 than the brahma.

Re: New Setup
Why the Brahma?
The Adire reps are the only ones who haven't pissed me off lately. RE, eD, etc have all resorted to name calling and little childish backstabs when threatened, the Adire employees are the only ones that I've seen remain professional. I also have the Adire Kit81 towers in my room, for one the service I received was nothing short of phenominal, and I also really REALLY love these speakers. Honestly it was a tossup between the XXX and the Brahma, I ended up going with the Brahma just because of the attitudes of the employees on each side. Why not eD? Well, I want to get this system going this summer, and only God knows when the new subs will be released. There's also something about them completely changing their lineup all the time, they haven't had one model last more than a year. I'll still recommend them because they do make good products and I still like my 12a, but for my own personal system I want to go with a company that has both feet on the ground so-to-speak.

Re: New Setup
Exactly why I'm about to get a brahma instead of a xxx...and as far as going for SPL a brahma isn't noticeably less then an xxx...and ed's stuff doesn't compare w/ a brahma.
