Was going to go with this. Any objections/better choices in the price range?
If you can fit the dual 12" version it's the same price at sonic, if not the the dual 10" is very good and takes up less space,
Just what ever you pick don't get something in a prefab unless it's a mainfactorys prefab box
My amp is only 4 OHM stable when bridged and Sonic only has the 2 OHM final impedence prefabs, that I saw. Don't want to buy a prefab just to hack it open and rewire it.
Can I run two channels to the individual inputs on the sub? IE, two positve and negative going to each terminal?
Yes you can do that. But even so, if those woofers are 2 ohm final impedance, there's no way to get them to 4 ohms final, or even two separate 2 ohm loads (minimum impedance on each channel when not bridged).
Are you set on running a prefab...?
-
yes, I had it hooked up to a sub amp but still wouldn't work. And shouldn't the equalizer be able to tune the speakers running off the head unit or no?
No. How the hell would it do that?
What exactly do you mean when you say it doesn't work? Does it turn on? Do you get any sound at all from your subs?
-
The shop was right. Whoever told you that would work is retarded.

How long of a run is it from your batts to amps? If it's short enough, you'll probably be able to do one positive and one negative run of CCA to each amp just fine. Otherwise, just go with the OFC... You could do 2 runs of CCA, but then you'd need dual inputs.
I will 2 + and - into each amp plus 4 + runs and 3-s..… and way about candece
Why would you do more positive runs than negative?
I've heard mixed reviews about cadence. I use their 4 gauge CCA, but only because I know my amp draws mush less than the wire can handle, and I would suggest the same.

For approximately 2000hz: http://www.parts-express.com/pe/showdetl.cfm?Partnumber=027-428
For approximately 3000hz: http://www.parts-express.com/pe/showdetl.cfm?Partnumber=027-424
Try this calculator for other frequencies. Type in 8 ohms for resistance, then desired frequency, and look where it says "Capacitor - C1"
-
Not sure what you mean by a 1" enclosure, but anyway in the 300W department, look into the sundown E series, Skar IVX's, SSA DCON's... dual 2 ohm or single 4 ohm is what you'll want.
-
I think it might be going into protect due to the low impedance. Can you bridge two channels of the amp and increase the ohm load?
Well that's what I've been doing so far. 2 channels on the sub, two on the door speakers.
From what I've read, this amp is 4ohm stable bridged..
I'm just so lazy that I don't want to take the subwoofer out unless I know for a fact that it will increase the output/ safety because I've got the shok 2.5k coming in on the 2nd.
Wait you're running .7 ohms bridged, or one coil per channel?
If you're doing .7 ohms bridged... that's less than a fifth of its minimum impedance, yikes. One coil per channel might be okay but I wouldn't risk it.
I'd personally just take that bitch out and wire it in series on ONE channel. Should hold you over until you get the amp, and you don't have to worry about your equipment.

Here's what you need to do
1. Make sure you have your head unit set so that the RCAs are putting out a full range signal.
2. Check your current amp to see if it has RCA outputs. It should just be a second set of RCA jacks just like the inputs, only it's labeled "output."
3. If the amp you have now doesn't have an output, see if the mids and highs amp you're looking for has one.
4. If either amp has outputs, use that. Just run the RCAs from your head unit to input on one amp, then from the output on that amp to the other amp's input. This is the easiest and most cost-effective way.
5. If none of the above apply, do what they said. Get some y-splitters. You have google and [hopefully] some common knowledge. You should be able to figure out if you need male/female from there.
6. If you DO get y-splitters, remember that one splitter is left and one is right. So, one splitter should be connected to right channel on one amp AND right channel on the other amp. Same with left. Also take into consideration, splitters are generally less than a foot long.

alrdy have the sub, sealed isnt too bad as long as it's the right specs it sounds good
I just don't like the sound they produce. Long as you like it though that's all that matters.

There's a whole fundraiser going on to pay for a "permanent vacation" for her to get here away from the little shits.
http://www.indiegogo...eforkarenhklein
$340 grand, and still has a month to go. She's gonna be far away from the bastards soon.
That's fuckin awesome.
I just hope the kids' parents see this and they get a good hard whooping.

Considering he's running boss subs... What do you think he'll choose for a "2000W" amp? I'd convince him to buy yours.
In theory double the power =3 dbs. so 33% more power = 1 decibel. in theory that is
It's actually about 1.24 dB.
-
I have the exact same setup.
Sealed? I'd rather move down to a 12" or something... Unless you already have the sub.
-
It's actually power if you think about it. Current and a given Voltage = Power. Current with no volts = no power.
There's no such thing as current with no volts.
And power can't technically be transferred. Energy is transferred, and power is the rate of energy transfer.
-
And in a few years you sooooo good ofc will oxydize and turn green losing all that extra current handling you guys are hung up on where cca crap as its called wont
Isn't each strand coated with aluminum though...?
And I would say if you never plan on running more than 3500W or so, just get the CCA.
-
I do agree with you guys that those two were a couple of pussies for going 2 on 1. But that's the risk you take when you get into a fight... especially when the dude has two friends right behind him. And I'm definitely not gonna risk my safety and freedom for some idiot who got into a fight because of road rage.
-
They were engaged in mutual combat. If the guy by himself didn't want to fight 3 guys he could have got into his car or otherwise de-escalated the situation.
There is no way I'm stepping into a fight between two foolish parties.
Would have to agree on this one. If the dude just got jumped out of nowhere, that's a different story. But the guy in the red did "agree" to fight. Just as stupid and immature as the other two if you ask me.
-
I plan on also going with four sets of fosgate t3 components, four fosgate power 600-4's, two 360.3 processors, a pioneer 7inch flip out, 3 xs 3100's, all knu concepts,monster cable, and streetwires power cables, speaker cable, and rca's.
And it WILL fit.
Honestly think you should just slow down man. Quality over quantity. Four component sets seems like a bit much for such a small cabin space. You're not running an insane amount of subs or power, so it's not like you need something to keep up with the bass. And four 4-channels? Why do you need 16 channels of amplification? And what could two 360.3's accomplish that can't be done with one?
Also, just do a blow-through.
-
You're not gonna [safely] get "low low bass" from that box. But if you're willing to build a new box or boxes, with each enclosure tuned appropriately, I would at least try it... you never know.
Middle name is overkill but last name is cheaperequipmentinaprefab?
Whatever opinions you have about them, L7's and T1000's are not cheap.
-
I plan on getting a detector, but I haven't had a need for it yet as my system really isn't that loud.
Radar guns measure speed, not db's. Just saiyan.
And tbh, I wouldn't worry too much about the specifics of the law. Just be respectful with your bass, and more importantly, be respectful to the cops if you get pulled over again.
-
Do what you wanna do man. Don't worry about what's "still in" or what's cool.
-
What subs do you have where the depth is greater than the diameter?
-
Pretty good idea. You should just be able to use threaded inserts and some bolts. Of course with weather stripping or something in between.
-
Never heard of her before, but that first song's pretty tight. Just downloaded it
-
To say one size speaker has more bass than another is... just wrong. However, 8's will probably have a slightly larger cone area than 6x9's.
You say the 8's are gonna be for mids, then you say you want them for bass? You might as well just get subwoofers.

His post wasn't helpful?? God knows how you would have wired it if no one said anything...
If you just ordered that sub 2 hours ago, contact Fi and see if you can change your order to dual 2 ohm.
