LT.Smoke Posted May 10, 2015 Report Share Posted May 10, 2015 Will the pyramid American amp do good until I could come up with money for a bigger amp It won't be the best choice but yes it will work.

LazyAF Posted May 10, 2015 Report Share Posted May 10, 2015 (edited) What is the best place if I decide to get a hifonics I found them on Amazon would that be my best bet? Sonic Electronix is an amazing distributor with excellent customer support. btw, make sure you get the Hifonics Brutus line, and not the Zeus. Also how hard is it to install a bass control remote It's literally just a plug and play type of controller, one end goes in the amp, the other is the knob that you control. The only difficult part is tucking away the wire from sight. Many people just run them through their car without hiding it though, which personally, I cannot stand. I know this is a dumb question but what's the difference between 2 ohms and 4 ohms Here's the simplest answer in terms of general knowledge for deciding what ohm load you need. If you're running 2 subs, you will want them both to be Dual 4 Ohm in order to achieve a 1 Ohm load. If you're running 1 sub, you'll want a Dual 2 Ohm in order to achieve a 1 Ohm load. You don't HAVE to run at 1 Ohm, but that Power Rating you see on the Hifonics Brutus 1200.1 amp, for example, is measured at 1 Ohm. Subwoofer wiring guides are very easy to find online, just google them if you need a little more detailed description.

Jtdiaster Posted May 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2015 I thought the 1200.1 couldn't hold 2 sa 12 since there 600watt each and I got a 340 watt headunit sorry guys I'm still new to car audio Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LazyAF Posted May 11, 2015 Report Share Posted May 11, 2015 (edited) I thought the 1200.1 couldn't hold 2 sa 12 since there 600watt each and I got a 340 watt headunit sorry guys I'm still new to car audio I was just using that as an example You could move up to the 1500.1 which, for a budget build, would be a nice combo... http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_76259_Hifonics-X1500.1D.html Another great budget amp is an Audiopipe 1500.1. These amps at 1 Ohm with stable voltage can push out 2000 watts rms.

Jtdiaster Posted May 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2015 (edited) I thought mono block meant only for one sub? Edited May 11, 2015 by Jtdiaster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LazyAF Posted May 11, 2015 Report Share Posted May 11, 2015 I thought mono block meant only for one sub? Ahaha, nah man. If I were you personally I would get the two SA 12's DVC 4 Ohm and the Audiopipe 1500.1. and take that to a shop in your city and get them to build you a box to spec for those woofers. Then get them wired at 1 Ohm, obviously. This should run you somewhere below $1,000 after the box build and installation, and will be a sick setup for your first car, that will last a very long time before you should ever get bored of it.
