Hi there I have been running an iPad 2 straight to a sony CDX-GT640UI with the supplied USB cable now for about 9 months and never had a single problem. When you connect your iPad to the deck the screen will blank out and all you have to do is press and hold the mode button for about 2-3 seconds and boom your iPad screen will come to life I can change tracks back and forward on the deck and also everything on the iPad works perfectly

Did this years ago when I had 6 10's I just put the switch inline with the speaker wire so I could have any number on at a time. Those were the days of experimentation! But mike is right that's the easier way to do it if you have multiple amps running your subs.

It's always one or the other huh hehe I've been running mtx amps and woofers for a while now and love em so hey but yea there are a lot of other brands to consider One I'm liking a lot right now is Vibe from the uk Some nice stuff all round

I've killed more kickers over the years than I care to remember lol Just had more luck with mtx is all, good balance for me

I personally don't like the w7 but that's just me However having said that if you were going to go with a 13 w7 in some sort of slot ported box then there is no doubt in my mind that you would achieve what your looking for in terms of sq and output There are a lot of brands out there that make some very high quality woofers that might be little known to you it's just a matter of doing a little research. Boston acoustics do some very nice woofers and you can pair it with a passive radiator to get your output

I agree with the infinity's the kappas and perfects are awesome amped and boxed properly

I love the 12's just make sure you amp her up real nice and build the right box! You can't buy those sledgehammer boxes anymore but they are out there if you can get your hands on one!!!

Hey well to each their own of course but mind you it all depends on what amp your runnin and how clean your signal is Other way is to make your own set up I did an alpine 17 pro series with an additional 6 inch worked wonders to the front stage

I love it They are in the mtx sledgehammer slot ported box and the amps are the older mtx 8100d Only takes 1/0 gauge power and ground hahaha

If your in England then you've heard of vibe audio They have a new 3 way in the space series both in a 5 and a quarter and a 6 and a half size Just installed a set about a week ago on an alpine f6 bridged and they sound so warm and fantastic A little known brand over this way but defiantly worth the listening test if you can find a shop that carries the brand They also have some sick subs and Amps if your heading that route!

I'd say alpine all the way but it also depends on what amp your using to push it(them) X series woofers are some of the cleanest around and they are very happy with that kind of power.

Nothing says POWER like having garden hose for wire running your amps!!!

I have another of those amps sitting in the workshop still in the plastic and going to be switching out the 4 ohm boys for a pair of the dual coil guys and running one amp to each at 2 ohms! Should sing then huh!!! Lol

Hi, I also have a pair of the 17 ref's in my car and have had the same problem over the course of about a year! Been thru 7 tweeters in all until I said enough was enough and swapped them out for an old favorite, Boston acoustics z6's all round If you can get your hands on a pair of the r series tweets from a newer set they should work just fine as I did that in a mates car not so long ago.

Hi, I've been thru more amp and sub combos over the years and always been very very happy with mtx woofers and amps I've also heard plenty of kicker amps and subs and just thought that they lacked a certain something! My current set up is a pair of 10 inch 9500 single 4 ohm in a sledgehammer slot port box on a mtx 8100d amp showing a 2 ohm load Thing pounds hard as hell
