xJohn23 Posted February 19, 2012 Report Share Posted February 19, 2012 Hey everyone! I'm new to the SMD forum, and im new to car audio. I wanted all your advice, i hope this is in the right section. I am buying my first system very soon, and I was planning on getting the Kenwood W3013PS 12 inc subs, 2 of them. Is Kenwood a good company, considering these subs are $60 for 2 on amazon. Im not going crazy need subs and amp for $200. Im buying a box too, but ita not in the budget. So what amp are u guys recommending. It would help a lot! Thanks xJohn23 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe X Posted February 20, 2012 Report Share Posted February 20, 2012 Well yes the amps section would be better for this but OK since you are going that cheap I might as well save you a few extra bucks take a look: http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_33472_1600W-Kenwood-Subwoofers-and-Amplifier-Bass-Bundle.html?from=857 You can even get a head unit also for the $200.

Nine8SST Posted February 20, 2012 Report Share Posted February 20, 2012 Pretty low budget....have you considered just saving for a while longer before you buy?

xJohn23 Posted February 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2012 Joe X, I have looked at that but the Kenwood W3013PS has 400 watts RMS each, the subs you suggested are 200 watts RMS each. So the ones i chose are more RMS? Nine8SST, Nawh I am going to upgrade later on too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skittlesRgood Posted February 20, 2012 Report Share Posted February 20, 2012 the rms of the sub wont matter if you cant afford an amp that can supply the power. if you want two 400w rms subs, you need an 800w rms amp.

xJohn23 Posted February 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2012 Yeah I know. And this is for home use! I'm using a power supply to power the amp. Its nothing serious its just for bumpin at home. I'm planning on getting a 1000 watt amp to power the subs. But for under $120, because just as I said its nothing huge or amazing, just something for home until I get a car. Anyone suggest a 800-1000 watt amp for under $120.

Check the for sale section, or CACO.

Joe X Posted February 20, 2012 Report Share Posted February 20, 2012 It fits your application perfectly but I just can't really recommend new Autotek, also it seems that are overrated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
