Not for that kind of money. The line driver, cap, and bass cube are really not necessary if your system is designed properly. There are other component sets that can or will sound as good or better for far less money. Others here have been finding some CDT's for almost half that!

whoops, these would be in Canadian prices if that makes a difference, he's been posting this for 4 months now.

those are all very nice pieces of equipment but do you need them all perhaps not.... the cap is really not usualy nessicary. the line driver can be had cheaper thats iof you even need one.. that is a great deal on the bass cube however in candian money.... i personaly love bass cubes and after hearing a couple hooked up plan on getting one myself...
the pioneer crossover is ify in my mind could probaly find a better one for a bit more...
and all phoenix gold amps are nice i have yet to see one i didnt like. and very durable. my friend who is hard on stuff has a 5 year old QX series Phoenix Gold amp and it look like hell but still work and sounds great... i personaly have a 500.2 tantrum series i love.
may i ask what your end goal is? if we know your end goal we can find you some other great products also a price range would nbe good..

Oh, well I want a good SQ system in my truck by the end of the summer, I just wanted to see if any of these items where any good to look into, because they are local.... then I wouldn't have to worry about getting screwed online.

May not need the Line driver, EQ, & CAP. Cheaper interior speakers are always an option.
The Phoenix Gold MQ430 is an older amp design. Specs I found are:
MQ430 SPECIFICATIONS:
Into 4 ohms @ 12.5/14.4 VDC
........................ 30/50 WRMS x 4
Into 2 ohms @ 14.4 VDC
.....................90 WRMS x 4
Bridged into 4 ohms @ 14.4 VDC
.................................100 WRMS x 2
A first rate amp brand... but very pricey for that power rating. Can get more watts for less $$ if you shop a bit more. Is this new or used gear?

pg makes some great amps, and I loved installing them while I had my hands on them. I have a perty "little" PG octane that I one day hope to take out of my bedroom, and put it in my vehicle............ that amp is their entry line of amps, and they are just not the same. I don't know if I would recommend that amp.
thunder57 on 07/19/2004 22:45:08
All these items are used, and have been there for a long time. The amp doesn't have enough power for what I need it for. Thanks for the input people.
