During this video I will demonstrate my System’s sitting voltage during extreme songs, and demanding bass tracks… 15.0 volts idle. I love the big three upgrade. I slam ” I love your girl” , and never go below 14.6 volts. I know, I know…My Orion HP ’s are insanely wicked, and the best high performance sub for how cheap a price, but money doesn’t matter anymore!… I’m ready for something even louder!!! If your well versed in the car audio scene, throw me some suggestions, or recommendations! Any advice from older guys with 10 years + spl exp would be awesome! Meade and I got to talking about about the upcoming SMD’s… And boy, oh boy. They got to be crazy ridiculous! I just can’t wait for my rear view mirror to start melting, and my windsheild to start vibrating to the slab of a madman on steriods!
