Pyramid= Shi't. If you want an amp that'll make RMS power like that, you are looking at like USAmps, US Acoustics, Zapco, MMats, EQ Shredder, etc. The Zapco C2K-9.0XD retails ~2500 bucks, and it makes 2000 RMS 2 ohms bridged, and that is underrated.... Never believe any amplifier manufacturer who puts the max wattage on the amp.

P.S. For all the knowledgable people, I know there are other ~2000 watt RMS amps out there, the Zapco is the only one I could think of at the moment...

Hey guess what people? HE ALREADY HAS THE AMP! So lay the hell off, everybody has to start somewhere. He'll see for himself how the amplifiers perform and decide for himself if he wants to replace it and with what.

starjammir, it would be a good idea to Augment you ground and engine/chassis ground wires (the big three) to 4 guage along with the new power cable. The stock ground wire is iirc 8 guage or maybe even 10 and becomes a huge bottleneck in your setup. The change should fix most if not all of the dimming light problems.

As for running the main power cable, since you have the ATX, look where the clutch pedal usually is in a manual car. There should be a tear shaped gromet, originally where the clutch cable would pass. Just poke through that. Easy as stealing candy from a dead body.

And BTW, 300W RMS isn't all that bad, I only send my PB15 around 150W RMS from my MRV-T757 (it's all running at 8ohms) and it can move the hair on your head while sounding crystal clear. When My 16Kv.2 gets here, I'll be sending it 300W, that should be fun

I really appreciate it Honkeytonk Monkey for not dissing me and my stuff. THis is my second system and it is a huge step up from my 2 sonys and a lightning amp. I am on a huge budget and it was all i could afford at the time (which is now) because of the great gf i have she wanted to get me the "best" which for her is the 2200 watt max audiobahns. She and her bros liked the way they sounded so she got those for me.
Like I said i REALLY appreciate standing up for me bro. It means alot to me.
Sincerly
Bill
