    How will my system be?

    * OZ AUDIO POWER MATRIX 15"
    * CROSSFIRE 1000D RUNNING MATRIX
    * CLARION DRX7575z
    * INFINITY REFERENCE 605cs COMPONET SET
    * CONCEPT CC-702 RUNNING COMPONENTS

    How will the subs SQ be? What about the SPL? Its in a 91 Mustang 5.0 Hatchback.

    Here is the box info:
    Tuned to: 33Hz
    Port: 4x4x12.5"
    2.5 cubic feet of seen airspace

    Please give me comments, and estimated db? :)

    Sounds like a pretty nice setup, is this your first system? I think as long as everything is setup right you should be very pleased with it. As far as SPL goes there is really only one way to now what its hitting and thats to go get it metered, but if I had to take a stab at it I thing you should be in the low to mid 140's.

    A buddy had the same sub and amp in a 3.2cuft box tuned to 30-35hz and did 152.4db at the dash, legal! :eek:

    I've heard good things about that sub as far as SPL goes...
    I've heard bad things about that sub as far as SQ goes... but that's from the guy who had it in an SPL type install... ;)
    And on OZ's site, their specs are known to be way off, some of them deliberate lies.. so who knows? That's always been my problem with them, really...
    I am sure that in reality the sub is very good...

    But like almost everything in car audio, it's in the install...
    I bet I could take that sub and make it sound very good, given free reign of the enclosure design...
    And I could take that sub and make it very loud, no doubt, given free reign of the enclosure design.

    The setup that you have listed there is going to be extremely bass-heavy...
    I hope that Crossfire amp has a remote gain control, or your HU has a separately controllable subwoofer output on it, that would allow you to throttle it back at will.

    Other than that comment, the equipment that you have listed has the potential to be very good, given the right install.

    I take it that you listened to a bunch of different stuff, that's why you settled on these? I'm just noting that it's not the most popular brand/models.. either in bricks-and-mortar-land or in cyberspace.. wondering how you arrived at these choices?

    The setup that was doing over 150db it sounded really good for what I thought it would be like (of couse when the volume is at a normal level) I was really suprised.

    Ill keep you all posted B)
