  1. Yes he could like the FI X12's but then he'll have less for the other things but if you want to see what they are here is the link.

    Don't forget that he will have money from selling his current subs and amp, and the $500 budget was only for subs and an amp I think.

  2. I just went and bought the sub and amp got a cadence pack 600watt mono amp and sub in box for $230, Now the guy said the amp has a fuse so I wouldnt need one to be installed. Also my battery is in the boot of my car. Now i'm having second thoughts installing this myself.Thinking i should get a fuse still and also ground cable and the remote wire to turn the amp off with the car has got me confused what to do.

    What the guy at the shop said to do is connect the amp( This new mono amp has inputs and outputs), So i connect the mono amp and head units pre outs to the mono, Then output the mono amps signal to the input of the old 4x200 amp.

    Just confused on installing it myself, I forgot about ground cable and remote wire. Also dont know if i should go get a fuse or not.

    Whether the amp has one or not, you need one at the battery. If the power wire slips out of the amp and touches ground, the fuse in the amp isn't in the circuit anymore so something will catch fire (probably the wire) and your car will burn to the ground.

    If the mono amp has a full range output (pass through) then just use that, it will work fine too.

  3. I'm not 100% on this but do I just connect fuse and wire the other amp to the battery and use the Y splitter to split the pre out cable into another line for both the amps. So i will need 2 splitter cables one for each side?

    The fuse should go as close to the battery as possible and then run a wire to the back of your car and into a distribution block that splits to both the amps.

    The HUs pre out (if it only has one ofcourse) goes to the splitter which then goes to both amps, or, if your mids/highs amp has a pass through output then just run that to the other amps input. If you need to use the splitter method, yes, two of them.

  4. since my car is peaking at 50hz is that because the box? or its just my car period? so would a new box help me? my subs/box dont like anything under 35hz. well its not that loud in my car. please help

    It could be a combination. You need a sub with a flat response (or known response I think, but flat would be better) then put it in the car and play a sweep. Then you can work out your cars response.

  5. a bass knob will not BOOST your gain it ATTENUATES it. The knob at it's full potential basicly opens up your amp to where it's gain is set.

    How do you use it properly? Turn the knob all the way up before setting your gains!

    This isn't rocket science people. They don't cause clipping, clipping is caused by user error (and on rare occasion, music producer error like a couple of the guys wishing they were decaf on this site...)

    I'm suprised it got this far before someone said this. Only thing is that 'bass knob' can also include the ones that boost at around 45hz, not just the gain cut ones. In the case of the bass boost knobs you just set the gains at the boost center frequency with the knob at max, so as long as you know how to set gains properly and know what type of knob you have (lol, that's what she said) it doesn't matter.
