I'm just a little nervous because I bought an AVIC D1 a few years back for a really good price and after correct install it blew a fuse and something in the unit itself fried. So I called the vendor, they said call Pioneer and Pioneer would take care of it. I called Pioneer, Pioneer said they wouldn't honor it, so I called the vendor back and the vendor ended up taking it, but it took me over 2 months to get something back. And 3 months after the second unit was installed, it too did not work properly. So I'm just a little weary, but I will take a look at Sonix's site.

*edit*
Oh, they are dual voice coil 4 ohms. So the coils are in series for 8 ohms on each speaker, and then the speakers are in parallel for a 4ohm load.

One reason too why I like the tens is that well I can fiberglass two little .6cuf boxes so I can save some room in the fit. Sure a 15 would be fun but damn it take some space

You will want to go with the JL 500/1. Anything more and you'll be sucking wind for current. Even with that 500, the car struggles. There's very little output from the alternator and the stock battery blows chunks! The 8W7/12W7 has single 3 ohm voice coils.

My Scosche wiring harness HA10b had the constant battery and ground wires backwards. I did a little searching and apparently Scosche made a bad batch.
