jayfromthed Posted April 5, 2013 Report Posted April 5, 2013 Hey guys, I recently was inspired by Steve Meade and many others on this forum to do my own build. I have been out of car audio for a while and want to get back into it. Anyhow after I spent the weekend building a enclosure and using the 2 12" PPI C1 (Generic) subs I realize they are never going to produce the sound I want, so this weekend I am gonna order 2 new subs and a amp, I have many questions about what amp I want to get as far as should I get a mono block class D, or a 2 channel amp, I plan on getting 2 12" re audio 2ohm subs or the kicker comp cvr 2ohm subs. The mono amp is about a solid 1000 watts rms. Another one of my questions is where to buy, I found this site (http://www.hifisoundconnection.com/) can you tell me if its legit or where is a good place to order. Thanks in advance!

8ight Posted April 5, 2013 Report Posted April 5, 2013 May I ask what your budget for subs and an amp is total? Personally, I like ordering from http://www.wooferwarehouse.com/ and http://store.soundsolutionsaudio.com/ because they carry a lot of the less-known brands I and many others here favor for their superior quality. When I need something like a head unit wiring harness or anything from a big-name manufacturer I look to http://www.sonicelectronix.com/ I'm gonna hate
SlamminBeats Posted April 5, 2013 Report Posted April 5, 2013 im gonna be honest, you would be better off getting one really good sub as opposed to getting 2 average/low end drivers

X_296 Posted April 5, 2013 Report Posted April 5, 2013 im gonna be honest, you would be better off getting one really good sub as opposed to getting 2 average/low end drivers I take it you don't like RE Audio? I've only had one RE sub and I can't say that I've ever had any complaints about it, considering what I payed. Did I ever tell you, what the definition of insanity is? Insanity is, doing the exact same fucking thing, over and over again, expecting shit to change. That. Is. Crazy. Did I ever tell you the definition, of insanity?

Definitely can't complain for that price. I would certainly recommend it. It's clean, and it can get decently loud. Did I ever tell you, what the definition of insanity is?

SlamminBeats Posted April 5, 2013 Report Posted April 5, 2013 i ran re before, theyre good. i guess im all about saving up for something you really want and getting the best product that makes you happy
X_296 Posted April 5, 2013 Report Posted April 5, 2013 i ran re before, theyre good. i guess im all about saving up for something you really want and getting the best product that makes you happy I can understand that. But i mean, at only $150 shipped the SEX is a pretty good deal. I would suggest wiring each sub in series to 4 ohms and then wire them both in parallel so the amp will get a 2 ohm load. According to that amps specs, they will get more then enough power. In theory you could even get 4 2ohm SEXs and wire them into 1 ohm and still have enough power with that amp. But theory almost never matches what will happen in practice. Did I ever tell you, what the definition of insanity is?

soundstream15 Posted April 5, 2013 Report Posted April 5, 2013 For a few bucks more just get a skar vvx or something. Prob be a lot better, I don't think re audio is what it used to be.
