new system

[killerc998]

how yall doing tonight, I just picked um my cb7 sedan and of coures it needs new speakes, but knowing how i am i cant just replace the speakers and call it good, I gota do the speakers, wiring, amps, subs, deck Im an avid stereoholic , So i went to ordering my stereo equipment its all hypnotic audio except the deck which is Clarion, The system will consist of 1 HYPNOTIC 1200 WATT 4 CHANNEL amp, 2 sets of Hypnotic HK653 6.5's 1 Hypnotic ZEN 1250 WATT MONOBLOCK AMPLIFIER, 2 ZEN HZQ10D4 4 ohm subs wired to 1 ohm in a ported box, each sub will have its own single box, and a Clarion CZ500 It will sound nice and clean when i get it installed, I build my own boxes and do my own installs. I will be setting the box up so when u lower the back seat u can see the subs and the ports, when i get it installed i will post some pictures, Im still in the measuring wood stage, gona start cutting wood tomorrow

Hypnotic??
How are their products?

[Daddy D]

Good luck. thats a lot of power. Are you gonna be upgrading your alternator too.

[mercyboy]

lol......lot's of music for you...wow 1200watts....that's a beast!!! lol better make sure the battery has lot's of juice!!!! llol

[sow3r]

are you guys being serious? or just being sarcastic?

That first amp is
1 x 180 watts @ 4 ohm
1 x 300 Watts @ 2 Ohm
1200 Watts MAX(i dont think so)

and the second one is
4ohm 14.4 Volts: 1 x 315 Watts
2ohm 14.4 Volts: 1 x 625 Watts
1ohm 14.4 Volts: 1 x 1250 Watts
which i highly doubt. but who knows


OP sell those things and get at least a hifonics amp, they are way better and more reliable, and they are CEA approved and very cheap too! good luck man.

Yeah I doubt it would put out even close to that amount of watts.

Where did he say say he was getting 2 amps? I only saw one monoblock?

ima run with the hypnotic stuff for the fact that iv never had a problem with em, Iv been running it in my truck for 1.5-2 yrs no problems, Im not really going for the loudest thing in the world just enough to please me, and with anything its only gona last as long as u allow it, u overpower anything and its not gona last, and ya i know the power out put that the company says it puts out is only a number its not real world, there putting that power out on a maxed amp on at least a 15-16 volt system, knowing how companies are is the reason y i opted to get the 250max watt speakers instead of the 300 watt, i believe in the end i will be happy with the sound and quality

[s.lownslow.e]

kind of confused? are you asking for advice, an opinion, or just tellin us what your going to get? as far as "hypnotic" goes ive nevr heard of it and ive been in the car audio scene for 5 years. im not trying to put it down but most of those generic brands overrate there stuff.

You will need atleast a 1 farad capacitor to eliminate your headlights flickering with that power. You might need to go with a 2 farad, cause it doesnt matter how much power the amp puts out, it is still sharing 16v with all the other electrical running through your car. Plus you have to remember that there is a voltage drop over the distance from your battery to your amps, then your amps are going to split that power. No matter how you look at it, the amps are going to use equal power, the difference is the impedance of the amp and how much it aplifies the power it receives. This is an issue i have had to fix numerous times over the years working for various audio shops through out my career of 13years

I have heard of hypnotic, but they are not and will never be a mainstream company like JL audio, MTX, Rockford Fosgate, or Orion. These companies and just a couple others are the only companies that produce true wattage. Such as a 1000w Sony explode amp is roughly only 500watts/350rms.

remember, not enough power will do more damage than to much power. If the power is to low, then it will cause the speaker to overheat due to too much resistance on the voice coil.

[killerc998]

ya, i know pretty much what ur saying, iv been messing with audio for about 10 yrs now, i know hypnotic aint a main stream, but there products are pretty good, and im not expecting they powe to be what they say, the compasitor i have already, just didnt mention it. Only reason i started this thread was to post what im putting in to the car,

He won't need a cap.
Cars don't use 16v systems.
The voltage drop from battery to amp is negligible.
The amps aren't going to use equal power. They'll individually pull what's needed.
Amps don't have an input impedance for power. It doesn't exist with DC.
How did you fix this "issue"?

remember, not enough power will do more damage than to much power. If the power is to low, then it will cause the speaker to overheat due to too much resistance on the voice coil.

You contradicted yourself. Less power makes more heat?
