bassfreake Posted January 14, 2013 Author Report Posted January 14, 2013 just got my 2 sa-12's, on a zx2500.1, and they love it, smooth bass, tight even in ported, and its like someone stomping on your chest, its awesome SA-12s on a 2500w amp? wouldn't that be too much juice and fry them? sorry idk much about this stuff really but I'm probably a little overly cautious about overpowering my subs after I bought my first 15s and fried them the first day I put them in Thanks I was pretty excited about the alt myself. kind of like a school girl, in a dress, on a swing. lol It's warming up enough that the donut-punching cyclist douchenozzles are getting their two wheeled fagmobiles out.

I was trying to switch it out for the reducer when I broke the terminal tryina get the wire out and put the reducer in.

severancej Posted January 14, 2013 Report Posted January 14, 2013 Yea I wouldn't suggest over powering your woofers, maybe a little bigger amp than their rated at to account for lower than perfect voltage would be cool. I assume since your just starting out, you'll be more than happy with a 750w setup as long as its all installed and setup right. 98' dodge ram 140A alt Big 3 XS D2700 JVC kd-r310 Rockford T500-1BDCP 2 Sundown E12 Ported 4cubes 35hz Rockford P400-4 2 Infinity reference 3way 6x9 2 Polk DB 5 1/4 2x layer dynamat all doors

I assume since your just starting out, you'll be more than happy with a 750w setup as long as its all installed and setup right. you do realize they way underrate there subs, people have thrown 3000k to one sub in burbs, one guy did 4k to one sub, and plenty run a saz-3500 on 2 of them daily, ha ha, so a 2500.1 is nothing, they still are begging for more, and a ported box helps with cooling a ton, now if you throw that much power and its clipped, you might burn some coils, but recones are only like $40 each, so no issue 600 watts barely gets them movin 2006 Mazda3 Hatchback Black 5 Spd ManualPioneer 4300DVD2 Sundown SA-12 (34hz Tune, 3.22 cubes, 14.5 inches per cube, Triple Baffle)Kicker 10ZX2500.1 (2845 RMS) Sub AmpKicker 11ZX650.4 (705 RMS) Mid Amp -- (3 Amps)Kicker KQ3 Active CrossoverKicker KQ30 EqualizerKicker 09QS60.2 Components (Woven Carbon Cones)Kicker 09QS65.2 Components (Woven Carbon Cones) - (3 Sets)2/0 Gauge Electron Beam Technologies (3 Runs, 2 +, 1 -) 1/0 Gauge KNU Kollasal Flex (1 Run for -) 300 Ft Kicker X-Series 16 Gauge Speaker WireXS Power D3400 (Rear)XS Power D3100 (Front)Singer Externally Regulated Alternator (Being Built)+ The Love for Car Audio and BASS <3UBL Build Log <------- Click Here-------> Normal Build Log (For Comments)
severancej Posted January 15, 2013 Report Posted January 15, 2013 Ok, I just don't want anyone new to the scene screwing something up. Also I want their new equipment to last. They can mechanically fail on daily high power. Plus its not cheap to be able to power a ~2500rms setup. But yea I know they are built well, if I could afford a larger amp I would throw it on my E's but i've kind picked up on what to listen for and smell ya know? 98' dodge ram 140A alt Big 3 XS D2700 JVC kd-r310 Rockford T500-1BDCP 2 Sundown E12 Ported 4cubes 35hz Rockford P400-4 2 Infinity reference 3way 6x9 2 Polk DB 5 1/4 2x layer dynamat all doors

I assume since your just starting out, you'll be more than happy with a 750w setup as long as its all installed and setup right. I'm not quite "just starting out"... I've had subs of some kind hooked up in my car for about 2 or 3 years... I'm not a seasoned vet but my last setup was an 1800w amp on 2 Audiopipe TXX 15s... and I had that for a year... just had it hooked up in a bad way and wound up screwing it up and I'm poor and can't afford to go getting some high end stuff like what the big boys are running and I'm in a trunk so I don't really wanna go too much bigger than where I am now anyway... but no I would prefer more than 750w setup lol I'm also a bass player so I'm used to the thump of bass and I like alot of it for the time being at least I think I'm going to stick with the subs I have actually since to my knowledge they are still runnin just fine and there's no reason to switch them out and they're rated at 1000w RMS a piece and are already broken in... and then go with a 2k-2.4k amp.

bassfreake Posted January 15, 2013 Author Report Posted January 15, 2013 umm... just thought of something though... it was a while ago that I pulled my old amp out of my car and I don't think I marked which wire is positive and which is negative... is there a way to tell without pulling them out and following the wires? and what would happen if they got switched? I've got it wired down to 1ohm Thanks I was pretty excited about the alt myself. kind of like a school girl, in a dress, on a swing. lol It's warming up enough that the donut-punching cyclist douchenozzles are getting their two wheeled fagmobiles out.
