I still have an old Rockford Fosgate 600a4. It is serving me just fine for now. I also have a brand new Kicker kv400.1. But I am really thinking about just selling the Kicker and running the 4 ch since I dont have rear speakers for now.
But I am tempted to upgrade the 600a4 to something nicer. Car audio bug has bit me again. :happysad:

yea, I am tempted to get rid of my rear speakers as well, with the sub, something is happening to them, I think the air the sub is displacing is cauing speaker distortion and or damage. I either need to pull them out, or get some foam baffles, not sure what I want to do since I have amped my front speakers, I dont really need the rears anymore. I wish I had the money to get some eD components, they are pretty sweet and scream when you get near their RMS. I also wish I could get a better sub and amp, I have the 13Kv.2, my friend has a W6.
I really do hate the car audio bug.

nice, i am not a big fan of ED b/c of something I read about them, but that may have just been an old series or batch that was completely junk.
i'd much rather have a mono amp though, rather than the 4ch amp... but only b/c the kicker has a subsonic filter for a ported application.

And yea, I agree that having a subsonic filter would be nice. But I talk to some people and they said that as long as I keep sane with controling the gains on the amp, I should be ok without the filter. One reason why I dont want to use the additional Kicker amp is because of the added stress on my electrical system. My first big system really abused it. h:

Very nice man, I've actually been thinking about doing almost the same setup as you... single 11k on an old school rockford. Right now I've got a 75.2 on my mids up front, and the older rf's are pretty good quality. What kind of box are you using? If I get this setup, I would most likely use a mid to small sealed. definitely let me know how it sounds with that 600a4.

I will definitely let you know. I only have my ported 12" IDQ to compare it with. It will be going in a ported enclosure and should be in my car to listen to by Friday. Same day that my new comps come. :reechy: I so :reechy: right now. h:
