what do you think

[Chaotech]

this is for my talon, what do you guys think, sound good/bad?

3x Orion XTR PRO 12" subs, 600 watt constant 1200 watt peak

3x Orion XTR PRO Amps 500 Constant

First, specify. Are the amps 2Ch, 500W RMS at 4Ohms bridged...1Ch, 500W...4 or 2 Ohms? How about the subs? DVC, SVC, 2, 4, 8, 12 Ohms?

Let's see, three high current 500W RMS amps in a 1st Gen Talon...You gettin a new alt? 'Cause the factory electrical system sure can't handle that kind of draw.

you know what i like? they have this sealed box with three mtx subs and it has a clear backwindow, i think its 750 rms. i went to go listen to it, that mother has a lot of bass! its inexpensive, so it always a good choice, especially since its good bass. only one thing though- you would have to take the subs out of the box and have a custom one made for them, mtx is notorious for making one size fits all boxes, which hamper the overall performance of the subs. and for an amp, rockford or kicker

I take exception to this!

Let me qualify my following remarks:
I have been a certified installer for about 12 years now, I hold (currently) a First class installer certification from MECP, in another 3 years (15 total) I can take the test to recieve my "Master Installer" certificate.

This is not a flame, only my opinion as a professional.
I have been using Rockford Fosgate amps to power both subs and Mid/ high combos for many years. I have not had any significant problems or failures with Rockford in the course of my career. I have however created some incredible sounding systems (for private use and competition) with their amplifier line. I think that your negative opinion of Rockford Fosgate and the people who may recommend it is unwarranted. I think that if you make a generalization like that you should at least back it up with fact, experience, or reasoning.

Joe,

Excellent reply. I agree completely with this statement. RF's are one of the best bang for the buck amps you can buy.

Later,
Matt.
