Thanks for schooling me.

I ending up ordering the 6.5 Focal 165KF's, Im going to ditch the rear fill all togther. The only thing left to order is the amp's and Ill get those next week, still up in the air which ones I will choose.

 

Sweet! Focal's are VERY hard to beat... Like I said, take a good hard look at those Cadence amps, ask around, go to different forum boards etc. Those things are SUPER SOLID and will run anything you decide to install. Plus a 5 yr warranty is almost unheard of...

 

I have read some on the Cadence amps and I havent seen anyone not like them. So I think I will pull the trigger on these two. I only hope this system sounds a little better than my stock audiophile system....

I love how this snowballed. About 2 weeks ago I wanted to order a TomTom for my car and figured if I was going to spend 200 on that I mine as well spend an extra 200 and get a headunit with nav to avoid clutter. Then ironicly my rear speakers started to go out, and here we are now $2,300 later

Woofersetc is NOT an authorized Cadence dealer so you get their 1yr in house warranty. While I have bought from Woofersetc, I'd still go with those iA's from powermax, you get a full 5 yr waranty. You tube search an ia7, I think there's still a link from a guy named Jason Paul that works for Cadence. He's bench testing an ia7 and it's screamin' out like 1200wRMS @ 1ohm and not even flinching! You can get those amps where you'd like, but I'd go with powermax, and for $570 shipped, you be hard pressed to find a better deal

 

IA series better quality than the ZRS Series?

 

Yes. They are very underrated and put out much more power than the box says.

Smokin deal with a fat warranty. I love my iA7.

 

Yea I think I read on there site they gaurenttee 20%

 

Im like a fly that wont go away....

With 2 ID IDQ 10's at 2 ohms dont you think the IA9 would be more suited power wise and effecincy?

 

Yes, the ia9 is a beast and is more suited to running a those subs at a 2ohm load. From a flexability perspective, I'd run dual 4ohm subs so you can run them at 4ohms or 1ohm... I currently am running dual 2ohm subs and wish I had gone with dual 4's

 

So its Final the amps will be the iA9 & iA2.

I get the 4 ohm so I can run it on 1 ohm but with these subs the iA9 will already pushing them pass the subs rated 500 rms at 2ohms so its a mute point to run 2000 @ 1ohm no?

 

Its fine, just be easy on the gain. You want your amplifier to drive the speaker with ease, you will get better sound and a longer life out of your amplifier. Especially at a low 1 ohm resistance.

But at 1 ohm, the iA7 will be fine with those subwoofers too if you want to save a few bucks. Plus the iA7 has a smaller footprint, should be easier to fit on the back wall of the truck.
