Chamois Posted November 20, 2011 Report Share Posted November 20, 2011 (edited) I had (2) 12" subs on 1000 RMS and it just wasn't enough. So im planning on doing 4 10" subs hoping it will be louder than the 2 12" Just sold the last pieces of my other system. Now wondering what you guys will think about this. Keep in mind it's a trunk build, budget is only for the subs and amp. $600 budget (4) VIBE Audio Black Air 10 subs on 1600-1800 RMS and tuned to 34hz. What do you guys think?

1988JimmyRE Posted November 20, 2011 Report Share Posted November 20, 2011 audiopipe 1500 is about 175 then get some SA-12s 400 only thing about audiopipe amps is they use a lot of current so you'd have to have a good electrical i've never heard vibe Quote BUILD LOG-->1988 S15 Jimmy V8 4x4 2 15" RE Audio<--BUILD LOG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was looking for a more efficient amp, even if it was a little more expensive Quote 2006 Saab 9-3 2.0T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1988JimmyRE Posted November 20, 2011 Report Share Posted November 20, 2011 yeah my buddy has a AP 1500 and a small 4 channel with a 140amp alternator and 2 XS Power batteries (small ones) he still drops to about 12.8-13.2 Quote BUILD LOG-->1988 S15 Jimmy V8 4x4 2 15" RE Audio<--BUILD LOG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chamois Posted November 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2011 yeah my buddy has a AP 1500 and a small 4 channel with a 140amp alternator and 2 XS Power batteries (small ones) he still drops to about 12.8-13.2 Yea thats why I was hoping to get louder with 4 decent 10" subs on like 1600-1800 watts. Just gonna make sure its a efficient amp that does rated power Quote 2006 Saab 9-3 2.0T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
armykyle1 Posted November 20, 2011 Report Share Posted November 20, 2011 you could buy used, and get a lot more bang for your buck Quote TEAM XS POWERTEAM HEAVY HERTZMy build- http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/194454-e46-bmw-build-pos/#entry2914134youtube- http://www.youtube.com/user/armykyle1big build starting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kranny Posted November 20, 2011 Report Share Posted November 20, 2011 well what are you trying to wire to? thats the most important part. and also how much you want to spend on said amplifier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chamois Posted November 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2011 you could buy used, and get a lot more bang for your buck Yup Ive tried that. But I think 4 10" could be louder than the 2 12" or 1 15" that i can fit in my trunk. my trunk is a terrible shape. This is all I can fit: 1 15" 2 12" 4 10" Ive tried 2 15" and 3 12". Just not gonna fit lol Quote 2006 Saab 9-3 2.0T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
armykyle1 Posted November 20, 2011 Report Share Posted November 20, 2011 4 sa10s would wang on 2k Quote TEAM XS POWERTEAM HEAVY HERTZMy build- http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/194454-e46-bmw-build-pos/#entry2914134youtube- http://www.youtube.com/user/armykyle1big build starting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chamois Posted November 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2011 (edited) well what are you trying to wire to? thats the most important part. and also how much you want to spend on said amplifier. What do you mean, what ohm load? It would all depend on the subs i choose, their coil configuration, and the amplifier minimum impedance Agreed 4 SA-10s would slam on 2k RMS. But, way out of budget lol Thats like $750 for just the subs. I wish it was in my budget but its not right now. I dont have a goal for numbers or anything, its just for a daily system Edited November 20, 2011 by Chamois Quote 2006 Saab 9-3 2.0T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
