soundsystemaniac Posted May 15, 2011 Report Posted May 15, 2011 Im going to be doing a BUDGET build in my future 1998 Neon. I want to do everything right and buy nice equipment instead of just buying temporary stuffs. The only problem with that is that it will take a while for me to get all the equipment that i want. So lets say if i just start off with the DC 175.4 amp and use 2 channels to power my front door speakers and rear speakers at 2 ohms, would it be alright to use the rear 2 channels to power sub(s) at 2 ohms for a temporary setup? I know it would only be ~ 500 watts but it would be better than no beat! Let me know what you guys think!

CJ18 Posted May 15, 2011 Report Posted May 15, 2011 A pair of Level 2 8s would be nice on the rear 2 channels. Quote
matt402 Posted May 15, 2011 Report Posted May 15, 2011 so ur sayin u want the big subs for ur build "eventually" but just put low power on em until u can afford the sub amp right? sounds good to me. just do a nice efficient box design until u can get some more power =]. Quote
soundsystemaniac Posted May 17, 2011 Author Report Posted May 17, 2011 That sounds good to me cody! ...and matt, yes that's what I am planning on doing. I'd like to do a build that will be useable through all stages...like if I had 2 level 2 8s but planned on doing six and built the box for six but had them all in separate chambers so that I could increase my build without having a million different setups along the way.

CJ18 Posted May 17, 2011 Report Posted May 17, 2011 2 8s on 250w each would definitely be a nice start. If you upgraded and ended up with 6 8s then I believe a 3.5k would power them quite nicely. I'm tellin ya those 8s are some beefy little guys, especially the m2 versions with the better cooling. I may get a couple just to do a stress test on them this fall and find out what they can really handle. Quote
soundsystemaniac Posted May 17, 2011 Author Report Posted May 17, 2011 3.5k? Damn that's nearly 600 per sub! I know tooshort is running a 2k on 4 level 2 8s. That's crazy!
