I'd have no idea what to do haha. No idea what to tune them to, how to tune them, im a shitty woodworker.. I'd pay someone to do it for me, I know a few professionals that have experience making louddd systems I planned on consulting, I just upgrade piece by piece when I can afford it that and upgrading my dual headunit are both on my list..

I really want to get a box custom built.. a little back story to my system.. Payed $60 for 2 MTX 12"s that were like 350w each rms, and $40 for a 780w kenwood? amp. Sold the box+subs for $200 (lol) and the amp for $120( lol again) Bought a ported MTX jackhammer (round) box with 2 600w rms 1800w peak type R's (12"s), and a TMA 1000w rms amp all for $450 Traded just the subs, not the box or amp for a JX1000 amp new in the box, and $220 cash.. Bought two type X's for $230 each (lol) So now I have Two Type X's new in the box, a MTX jackhammer box , and a JX1000 and a TMA1000.1 amp. I'm going to sell the Jx1000.1 for $300 and the TMA for $150 and buy that one for $380 and have cash left over I think I got good return compared to what I actually put in for my money on this system. Edit: I did the math and I think after I sell these amps I'll be at -$20 into this system of my own money, and after I have my new amp and everything is hooked up.. I'll have a MTX Jackhammer dual 12" sidefiring ported box 2 12" type X's a 2000w rms @1 ohm amp for $400 investment. not bad?

I'm going to get this, thanks.

sorry I'm not sure about the rules on double posting.. Would this amp be good? 1 ohm: 2000 watts x 1 chan. http://www.ebay.com/itm/AUTOTEK-MEAN-MACHINE-SERIES-2000W-RMS-1-CHANNEL-CLASS-D-MOSFET-AUDIO-AMPLIFIER-/180896518007?pt=Car_Audio_Video&hash=item2a1e45cf77&vxp=mtr#ht_4790wt_1270

to wire to 1 ohm i would simply run the two +'s from the sub to 1 + terminal on the amp and the same for the negative (-)s? this would be running it in a series then? I ask because there's a little fuse type thing I have to put in the type X depending on which way i wire it..

So aside from buying just another jx1000 and running 1 sub to 1 amp , if i wanted to run 2 subs to 1 amp, what exactly should I be looking for? Any ideas on some quality amps ? Not working with a whole lot of cash but If i went from 2 amps to 1, I could sell the JX and the TMA to pay for the new one. Also, both my TMA and JX are relatively new, I'm pretty sure the JX is worth $300ish, anyone know what I should sell the other for? Thanks guys.

EDIT: didn't want to put this in the amps forum or the subs forum as it's a little of both? Sorry if it doesn't belong here.. Hey guys, first post on the forums. I have two alpine type X subwoofers new in their boxes.. 1000w rms 3000w peak, dual voice coils 4ohm+4ohm.. I will be the first to admit I don't know a ton about the science of car audio, I just refuse to pay someone who does; $110 an hour which is the rate the only shop close by charges. I have a jx1000 amp and a TMA 1000.1 amp, both are 1000w rms so I figured it would be a perfect match for two 1000w rms subs. I looked closer at the exact specs of my amps: JX Series 1-Channel Class D Car Amplifier RMS Power Rating (14.4V): 4 ohms: 500 watts x 1 chan. 3 ohms: 750 watts x 1 chan. 2 ohms: 1000 watts x 1 chan. The TMA 1000.1 * Rated Power 14.5 V: 500W x 1 @ 4 ohm * Rated Power 14.5 V: 750W x 1 @ 2 ohm * Rated Power 14.5 V: 1000W x 1 @ 1 ohm each sub has 2 terminals for + and 2 for - to run in a series or, one terminal for + and 1 for - to run parallel each amp has 2 + and 2 - terminals.. I was planning on running the speaker wire from the parallel options to the sub, to the proper bridged terminals on the amp.. But now it is looking like if I do this they won't be getting 1000w each as the tma only puts out 750w rms at 2 ohms? Like I said, im definitaly a noob to this, can anyone tell me how I should correctly do this with these 2 subs and 2 amps, if there is a way? I am assuming the worst case scenario is I have to sell my TMA and get another JX1000. Thanks.
