Thebeav Posted August 29, 2013 Report Posted August 29, 2013 Hey guys! I'm new here, and relatively new too stereo systems completely. I found two subs for a good price, and I plan to put them in my car. They're Rockford Fosgate T1D415s. They each have a 1000 watt rms and 2000 watt peak, so the system will have 2000 rms and 4000 peak watts. My question is, should I get a 2000 watt amp that will run just the rms, or a higher power? Also, should I get 2 ohm subs or 4, and how should I have them wired? I want the loudest, hardest hitting, clean bass i can get out of these subs. Also, what enclosure would help me get those results? Thanks !
TeamHT Posted August 29, 2013 Report Posted August 29, 2013 How much are the subs? And you would never want to pay attention to peak, rms is the number that really matters. So if you do get the T1s you would want to get a 2,000 watt amp. Be careful of voicecoil configurations as these will decide what amp you get for proper power output at the correct ohm load Tell me...does this smell like chloroform to you?
Watch the bass Posted August 29, 2013 Report Posted August 29, 2013 I asume you haven´t bought the sub´s now, can you tell us what they will cost? Think we can find you something in the same pricerange for louder. "in the abundance of water, the fool is thirsty" Bob Marley
DJ_Stubbs Posted August 29, 2013 Report Posted August 29, 2013 I have a prefab ported box. its for 1 12" but they sell other kinds. I got it off EBay. But everyone says to build your own. Its up to you. And my sub is 2ohms on atleast 1400-1200watts rms.Id go with 2 ohms. And get a CEA-2006 certified amp. like MB Quart, Cresendo, Hifonics, Etc.So it actually puts out the watts it says it does. My first purchase was a crappy pyle 6000 watt 2ch amp. Did no where near what it said it did. And it got really really hot. I love my Hifonics. its a beast. 2007 Dodge Caliber SXT 2.0L Flowmaster Single muffler + Tip 4 SoundQubed 6x9s 3-way PolkAudio PA660.4 2 MB Quart Tweeters 2 4" MB Quart 2-way New 8" coming soon!
Thebeav Posted August 29, 2013 Author Report Posted August 29, 2013 about 800$ for the two ! the subs are 4 ohm, so can I get them wired together to the amp at 2 ohms?
TeamHT Posted August 29, 2013 Report Posted August 29, 2013 That's still kind of expensive actually...you can get good 1,000 rms subs for much less than that but it is up to you. If you're getting two subs that are D4 you would wire to 1 ohm nominal so you'd want an amp to do 2,000 watts at 1 ohm. Tell me...does this smell like chloroform to you?
DJ_Stubbs Posted August 29, 2013 Report Posted August 29, 2013 Ye that is way expensive. i got my 12" for $230 brand new with shipping. and its like 40lbs. 2007 Dodge Caliber SXT 2.0L Flowmaster Single muffler + Tip 4 SoundQubed 6x9s 3-way PolkAudio PA660.4 2 MB Quart Tweeters 2 4" MB Quart 2-way New 8" coming soon!
TeamHT Posted August 29, 2013 Report Posted August 29, 2013 AA Chaos, SSA Gcon, SA, and FI SSD are just a few of the options available for all subs that will eat 1,000 watts no problem that are well under $400 each. Tell me...does this smell like chloroform to you?
Thebeav Posted August 29, 2013 Author Report Posted August 29, 2013 Any recommendations on a good quality brand for cheaper? I'm not stuck on the Fosgates, I just know they're a higher quality brand, and for both of them a total of 800, didn't seem too bad
