  1. So, your suggesting i buy the rockford amp, but control the power output with the bass knob and gradually increase? or is there another way? will they take 500w after being broken in? and if i do do all of that with the rockford, is the bass knob controlling overall power? to where i could turn up the bass on my head unit without worrying about the sub getting too much power? and the wiring thing you just wrote made no sense to me.
  2. That was my next question. i am clueless on brands. i know im going to need a steady 350w rms amp though. im going to click around now, suggestions are great too (: Also, does the amp need to be 350w rms at 4 ohms? because the sub is 4 ohms? may sound like a dumb question but im pretty nooby.\ So if im understanding this correctly, this amp: http://www.sonicelec...-1-Amp-Kit.html would almost max out the sub? Or would this be a better choice? http://www.sonicelec...PI-S850.1D.html its prefect for the sub itself but doesn't have a wiring kit and is a name i don't recognize. Or this http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_32465_RE-Audio-DTS-1000.1.html
  3. Well, after looking at the dd512 i think i'm going with that. its definitely a very cost effective sub, and from what ive seen it really packs a punch with only 350w rms. also, it means i'm going to get the system earlier than i would have with the l7 along with people saying the l7 isn't really the greatest. i also think i found some speakers, ill link you to them and get everyone's opinion.

  4. Well, to start it all of, I made a post very similar to this about 3 months ago. That was me just bored one day and hoping for things. now that isn't really the case, I have a steady job and i need something to look forward too while doing tedious work. Here is my "dream", I'm set on a kicker l7, 12" that's just the sub i want, its different and I've read its a very nice sub. I'd prefer make a box myself with my dad, as we don't really have much in common and these little projects are always nice, but if a pre-made one is really needed i guess i understand. For a head unit, I've already found one i like and that puts out good power, but of course expert opinions are always great; (Keenwood Kdcx396; http://www.amazon.co...wood+kdc+x396..) and for the speakers, I'm freaking lost. I had the dimensions but lost them, had the build written done but lost it during a fresh install of windows. i have a 2001 mercury sable ls sedan. Now that the stories out of the way, we are going to the quick version of this. Budget: Id like to spend less than $800, I'm going to call $800 the absolute cap, but i would greatly prefer working for less time to get this thing. Headunit: $139 http://www.amazon.co...nwood+kdc+x396. Speakers: ? (id like something that isn't overpowered by the sub, but runs without loosing quality when the sub actually hits, aswell as not needing a separate amp, and would just run off the head units rms) Sub: Any type of L7 12", i heard something about the 4ohm being better idk, like my name says i'm pretty clueless.. (a link to a good explanation of how ohm's work would be nice too (: .) Side notes: i know that i'm going to need a dash kit, i've got that part figured out, but if anyone has suggestions on that aswell its appriciated. Finally, i appreciate all time given here and am not going to abandon this thread like i did the last one. Thanks to anyone who replys (: Oh, and if this build isnt possible with $800 just tell me please, and I'm in Ohio if that has anything to do with choices on stores or shipping etc.
  5. Haha i figured. And on the price, i dont really know. i plan on saving for awhile, i just like to know that when i do have enough to get this thing im going to know exactly what im getting. So budget, keep it under 600 if possible, i would prefer having 4 speakers and a decent head unit. along with an amp that will max out my sub. like i said im clueless and dont really know if what im asking for is possible to make for under 600. EDIT: well. lets just say my budget is $800. and i apologize for the lack of information. thats my bad. and on the speakers i should really go measure them, its the ones under the cargo tray that im worried about on the size.
  6. Hi, im almost 16 and about to get a job over the summer and i want to get a decent system, But thats just to put things in perspective. Im looking to buy a kicker L7 (http://www.sonicelec...-11VS12L72.html) I know their is alot of controversy between square subs and circular, but the only reason i want a square sub is to be different than all of the other people at my school. well that being said, i know i want that sub, but then their is the problem of a head unit, and speakers. So, i would prefer kicker speakers or mids and highs (as you can see by the name and tittle im new, cut me some slack) but whatever is going to get me the most bang for my buck. I have a 2001 mercury sable, witch is another huge issue. If you didnt know this car has the controls for the Ac/Heating built into what houses the cd player. So, based on my knowledge i will need to just leave that there, and put a head unit in another space (it has a little slot underneath all of this) That being said, im not really sure what size speakers this car has, im pretty sure the back is 4x8 but not positive. and the doors i have no clue. Now their is the issue of an amp, and im lost. im not sure if i should be running power from the amp to each one of the speakers i buy or if their is some sort of bridging device that will run from one channel of the amp and bridge off to each one of the speakers or what. again im clueless. anyway, their is this amp (http://www.sonicelec...ufacturer_id=51) witch to me looks kind of sketchy seeing as how its only $100, but thats why im asking. i dont really know the tell tail signs of a good/bad amp. But then again this good be a fantastic amp and i just dont know it, thats why im asking . So, i think ive summed evereything up. I want a kicker L7, i dont know what speakers or what amp to get, and i dont really know anything. im really hopeing to get educated on the matter and hope to have a system going by next school year. Thanks for your time, i appreciate all responses.
