I am thinking about running one on my subs for 200 watts each and then the other to my 2 ohm Chameleons with 100 watts. I know the Chameleons need more but, I am going to try and see how they do. I will still need at least one more amp to power rear and center. A 2.5x would be nice. I still have not heard from my seller on the 2.5x and 3.0x lead. I am almost sold on a pair of 10" D2 IDQ subs. But, I am still debatting trying to squeeze 12" subs under there. The 12" IDQ is only .5" deeper. Got to find that .5" somewhere.

In my system I'm using a SXSL processor with 2 din cables running back to the 2 amps so I didnt need a SLDIN.
Doug, you'll need the transmitters to plug in the RCAs of the HU and the din/din to plug in from the transmitter to the amp.
You should have read your first post in this thread...remember? lol

I say this because I'd rather have a 12" vs a 10" (with similiar capabilities).

You are never going to let me live this down are you
I thought that was the way it worked, I just never noticed the simple din to rca cable they offer. So, one transmitter per amp. I have already found a place to buy 3 of them for a good deal. I just need to get the din/din cables. Of course, I need to buy the amps first. If these freakin people that want to "sell" stuff would email me back.

Seriously though, only one transmitter per amp unless it's a 4 channel amp (or more).

Not much here either. My wife's family has been staying at our house all week and today was actually the first day I have got to drive my truck since last weekend. We need 2 car seats and the truck is easier to do than the FX.
I thought I could report on some C2K's by now but, I have yet to hear back from either of my potential sellers. So, the amp switch may or may not happen. It might happen but, might take a while to pull off. I do have a tiny lead on a pair of 10" IDQ used that might work in to something.
Last note: The Image Chameleons are awesome. I really like them. They sound quite a bit better than the Contour's. Of course, I would probably have to put the Chameleons against the Germs to be fair. But, for what I have in them, a steal for sure. Plus I have an extra set of the ID mids. If anyone knows somebody looking for a set of comps, I will have two sets of Rainbow Contours for sale pretty soon.

Haha, no way I would be able to go that long without driving my truck. We have 2 inches of ice on EVERYTHING but I still went out and cruised a bit because I havent driven the truck since about Thursday 
I at least have to go out to the garage and sit in the truck just to listen to the radio 
Should be pretty easy to get rid of a set of 'Bows I would think.
So you replaced your center channel with an ID mid and tweet, or what?

I havnt drove my truck in 2 weeks. The Focus gets twice the mpg + it handles like a gocart.
Its in need of a turbo but I dont think I will do anything more to it cuz the wife is wanting to get a Volvo S40 sometime.
I'm glad you like the Images. You got a very sweet deal on them. I never could find a good price on them used.

Hey Dconder what amp are you using on your front channel and where do you have it mounted? I'm having a hell of a time locating a small amp just for my center channel. My last ebay special amp croaked and I'd like something smaller in the 75w range that I can put in the dash or under my front seat.
