Get the 12's and make the box with the biggest recommanded size per woofer.
Take a look at the Sundown Z v2 : it's a beast of a sub. Cheaper than the Nightshades, but better with that kind of power.
They don't need huge boxes to be loud.
-
Get a cheaper amp (used ?, Audiopipe?, ...), and a better sub
Always put more money on speakers.
-
Give us a budget.
Why do you want one of those only ? There are so much subs in the market.
I would try a Sundown sa12, or an SSA Icon (more on the sq side).
-
Dvc 2 ohm OK
You can use this rockford for your sub.
Look at the Sundown saz 2000 too. There is a good deal(a pre sale) on the saz 2500.
How much do you want to spend?
there are cheaper and more expensive amps on the market.
With 2000 watts, or even 1500, you can really enjoy a btl. You don't need tons of power.
-
If your btl is a dual 1 ohm, you should look for an amp that puts its power at 2 ohms.
This RF amp is not the best choice for a DVC1 sub.
Take a look at :
Audiopipe 3000.1
2 Sundown saz 1000 or 1500 strapped
Kicker 2500
Alpine mrp something 2000
And many more !

Try to Google : "ground noise on Pioneer" , "pico fuse problem".
there are several topics about it.
My pr 88 rs had the same problem !
The easiest/cheapest way is to ground each rca : just use a small speaker wire that you put around the rca (without touching the inner part) and you ground this wire where you can. This solution will help you, but you will still hear noise, with A/C on for example.
You can send your hu to Pioneer for a repair.
I took mine to an electronic shop, locally, and they knew what to do : change the blowned pico fuse, or bypass it with a small wire.
I have no problem, no noise at all for now !!!
But I will always remember to turn the h u off And/Or to take the fuse out BEFORE I touch anything on the amplifiers (rca, speaker wires,...).
Good luck
-
congrats !
That's a fantastic prize!
It' a beast of an amp.
I did not have to upgrade my electrical system to use it.
Just one run of 0 ga from front battery to a fused(150amp) distr. block, 0ga to ground the battery and the engine block. Stock battery, stock alt and THAT'S IT !!!
Enjoy
-
Don't know if you batteries are well charged.
If your alt is not so powerful, try to use only one battery.
2 batts are probably too much for your car ?
I am not an electrical expert at all. But if your alternator is weak, a second batt will never help you.
-
Look at these :http://www.soundsolutionsaudio.com/store/products/12%22-SSA-DCON-12D4%7B47%7DS4.html
You can have 2 of them and look for a used amp on this forum : With a 600 watts rms amp your friend will be fine.
I'm sure you can find a good 500-600 watts rms amp for $100.
He can also run only one sub : why not a 15" ?
The one sub-solution would be the cheapest way to start a good system.
for example :http://www.soundsolutionsaudio.com/store/products/12%22-SSA-ICON-12D1%7B47%7DD2.html with any amp, until he can have a good one !
These 2 subs are not spl subs but they sound sooooo good !
There are dozens of subs in the market, so, good luck !
-
Yeah, I like them by 2 !!!
Are you sure you have room for a box with 2 big woofers in a 'stang ? Even without rearseats ?
We're talking about an 8 cu ft box (gross).
-
All I ever heared about the AQ subs is that "they can take a shitload of power" !!!
I don't know if they sound good, but they must be loud !!!
You want to go big ? Get a Fi BTL or a DC level 4 or 5. Remember, you don't need 2 subs to be loud ! One in a HUGE ported box well tuned and you can slam harder than a lot of people !
But it's up to you.
-
Any idea where I could get a sundown 1200 for $200? I've been looking like crazy for some of these deals. Post links if you have them
Look at the ssa shop or ask Jacob @ sundown audio.
The sae 1200 is a beast, but he may only need the saz 1000 (I don't remember the prices).
The ssd is a good choice too !
BTW take a look at the Sundown subs : sa's and Z series, they're cheap AND goooood !!! You can love them more than the ssd.
-
Why do you need 2 HDC3's ?
Take a look at the Sundown sa 12. 2 of these on just a AQ 1200D amp will be very loud in a proper ported box.
You just need the big 3. An extra batt will not be necessary.
There are too much subs in the market to get these AQ subs.
Take your time. DC audio, Fi, Sundown, ...and many more.
-
The gti is a great woofer. It goes really looooow but is not the loudest woofer in the world !!! the SSA Icon is much better than the gti. No doubt.
I don't know about the Orion, I thought it was more an spl sub.
You can take a look at the Fi Q : same category as the Icon and the GTI.
The SSA Xcon will do what you want, but is a lot more powerful (and it is more expensive).
You can have whatever woofer you want, you MUST use a proper box : it's really box dependant.
Be sure to use a good custom box, check the dimensions you can afford in your trunk in order to choose the right (size) sub.
Good luck
-
I was too fast !
Nice big box !
-
Congratulations !
IT' really a nice looking subwoofer. I love it !
What will you use for it ? amp, box, car ???
-
The first thing to do is to try to learn the basics of car audio. Take some time to read all what you can here.
And come back with more informations so that the members can help you easily.
Budget, roow available for the box in the trunk, needs(hu?, speakers?,...), and more !!!
Good luck
-
Audiopipe and Audioque makes good and cheap amps.
But there is a sale going on at Sundown Audio this month. A 1000 w is about 275 IIRC.
Just get an amp and a good box.
Buy a voltmeter to know if you really need new alt and new batt.
Do the big 3 in 1/0.
-
You'd better start with one sub one amp(like the AQ1200) and a big custom box.
Don't be cheap on the Ported box !
Try a15" AQ hdc, or a Fi BL or SSD, for examples.
DC makes good subs too !!
Keep money for a 2 channel amp and a component set for for your front speakers. With so much bass, your OEM speakers won't be good or powerful enough.
If you keep your stock h u, get a serious LOC to avoid bad noise.
You need a 0 ga amp kit.
Don't need new alt or 2nd battery with this kind of system!
I forgot Second skin Damplifier for deadening the doors and the trunk.
THAT is a very very good system for a starter! Too good!!
-
All kind of cars can have this problem.
American car makers needed to do something to make money ! So, they found something to hurt the n°1 selling cars in your country, and with all the medias talking....It started like that!
BTW Toyota calls back most of their new models in Europe : auris, yaris, prius,..etc saying it is just for checking.
Now, they try to take advantage on this problem.
-
You want maximum pressure, for sure ! (like SPL : Sound Pressure Level)
But maximum vibrate ???!!! No !!!
Maybe you can show the OP how to use all 4 speaker outputs on his amp to achieve a 1 ohm load with his 2 subs?
I don't know where to find that diagram.
-
There is a sale going on Sundown amps. They "make their power" at 12.8v. Real power.
On the cheap you can also try the Audiopipe 1800 or the MBQuart dsc 2000 (or something like that) : this one is really cheap for 2000 watts.
You may just need one extra battery in the trunk. Buy a voltmeter and watch out!
-
so hold on now
you told a guy you were getting a 2500+ watt rms amp and the guy told you to get a 1200 watt rms amp?
like really there is no comparison here at all. the rockford is twice the size. you could also look into sundown audio and DAT amps
X2
Maybe it's about the same price, but 1000 watts vs 2500, damn !!!
-
Go Sundown : sae 1200, or saz 1000 or 1500. FTW ! It's real power, not marketing gimmicks!!!
AS they told you, you can get them from db-r.com or from Sundown : they have a dedicated forum here, and Jacob, the owner, is on line everyday. He answers all questions. And deliver everywhere in the world.
Look at their warranty : amazing !
