I ordered the first parts of my stereo system.

I ordered a new Kicker ZXs1500.1, two of the new 2012 alpine type-r's (1000rms capability each), and a fox accoustics dual 12 ported enclosure.

I'll be running off the factory head unit for the time being, but in the future (once my wallet recovers a little bit) i am planning on getting an indash dvd player.

And then maybe new door speakers.

We will see how it sounds!

Yep D2 subs, the zx does 1500@2ohm. (most of the time kicker amps are under rated, it wouldnt suprise me if the amp actually does 1700@2ohm.

I ordered the amp off of ebay.. 507 shipped is what i payed. Seems like a good deal considering msrp is like 800.

When I added just a amp and 2 10s, I never could get it to sound right. I kept thinking something was wired wrong or i had the wrong box. I even tried a bass processor and that made the bass a little better. The bass didn't pound low til I replaced the HU...

The new type Rs are awesome. I just put a single 12 in mine. Hits hard as hell.

given constant voltage, yes, they will exceed ratings.

I used the PAC OEM-1 interface. It plugs into the radio, between the radio and the truck. It gives you 2 pairs of adjustable RCA outs. I plugged my amp into the rears set, but I should have tried the front, they may be fuller range. I have this interface and a AudioControl bass restorer, I need to put it up for sale in the for sale section.

My zxS amplifier came in today. Man it is small! Probably about half the size of a 1500 watt amp. The birth sheet read 1584 watts too.
