It depends on the day!! lol

I am a HUGE SPL nut. At this very moment, I have a single DB Drive Platinum 12WD running on a Soundstream 2000D. In the pic I have 3 soundstream picasso 10s running on the same amp.

The amp is 2000w RMS at 1ohm
On the single 12, it seen 2k rms at 1 ohm
on the 3 10s, they see 2k rms at .66ohms!!

Oke-City! Nice shots of a great ride...

I always noticed the xA at auto shows and the great FE -- even as an automatic.

So do you have a beefed-up alternator for the electricals?

Still curious on the average mileage...

No, I have a 150amp alt I need to get put on, just to lazy thus far!! Well, I am at a 1/4 tank of gas right now, so, I will start trackin everything tomorrow!!

Just a note: are the tires the same outer diameter as stock? If not, you may need to figure out the difference so you aren't miscalculating your MPG. (If they're larger than stock, your MPG will calculate lower than actual.)

Depends. If you mean are they 15" tires to fit a 15" wheel like the stock, then no. If you mean overall width of the tire, than yes, they are both 8" wide. I have 18s on it now, but they are a fairly light wheel. The biggest thing that is going to hurt me, is all the weight in the back!!!

I meant outer circumference / diameter of the tire compared to stock.

If you're running tires with a larger circumference than stock, your odometer and speedometer will be under-registering. Which will reduce your apparent MPG calculations.

The width is another story! (Rolling resistance & aero penalties.)

Got ya....I had to go bigger though, this this was FUGLY stock! Sittin like a monster truck on 15s!! lmao

Is the amp stable under 1ohms? I don't know many that are.

Well your running about twice the RMS I'm running. I'm running a Kenwood Excelon KAC-X1R Amp at 2 ohms. I'm running 1200RMS to 2 12" Kenwoods. But it also looks like you have more coin than I do! It sucks being a high school student. Not much cash flow!

Those subs aren't going to hamper your mileage, those rims and tires are! rotational mass is a lot more worse than static weight! The subs are like having a passenger or two!

He's not asking about the rim size, but how big the TIRE is AROUND. Like, if you go from regular profile tires on 15" rims to low profile tires, your wheels have to spin more to go the same speed, making your speedometer spin faster (higher speed) and show a higher speed than you actually are going! Not to mention Higher RPM's and lost mileage!

With your 18's, the rims may have gotten bigger and the sidewall shorter, but the circumference of it might not have changed, or gotten bigger. Look up the revs per mile for your current tires, and your old ones and compare.

Cool, Im followin it now!!

lol, no the amp is not rated at being stable under 1ohm. However, with enough toying around (assuming you have the capability of getting things warrantied) you can see if any amp will do above and beyond its recommendations. Most times, so long as you have good stable voltage, things will out perform their specifications! So long as your equipment is of a solid make, and a reliable company, you should have no problems! I have actually taken it clear down to .5homs!!

What are amps rated at anyway? 12volts? 14.4? 14?

I've noticed that there's a HUGE difference between 12 and 14 volts.

Hey, your from OK? I used to live there! I'm an audiophile myself, although not as into it lately. It's been mostly hypermile hypermile hypermile!
