lesstutrey Posted December 11, 2013 Report Share Posted December 11, 2013 All right, i'm in the final stages of build a heavily modified (comestically and internally) 73 nova dubbed the nomaro. Since the outside is almost done, time to look to the inside. I have an amp already, it's an RE USX4250, not too sure how great they are, but it's the amp i have. My plan is to run a pair of 6.5 comps up front (not sure which pair, something under 200$, sa, id?) on the front 2 channels, and bridge the rears to run a sub. I was thinking of getting the SA-8v2, however the RE only puts out 300w RMS bridged, and the RMS rating on the SA-8v2 is 500w, and i know they can take A LOT more. This is a show car, but not an audio show car, so i'm really building the system so i can enjoy it on drives, not for any audio competition. I also have a rather loud exhaust, so system has to be able to go up so i can drown that out. I listen to music all over the gambit, rap, electro, rock, classical. Part of me is thinking i'll ending up buying a monoblock to drive just the sub once i can afford to add decent rear fill speakers... and the 2nd amp. I mean i have a POS Profile California 700w monoblock that does like 350w rms @ 2 ohm, but that's a crappy amp, and that only adds 50w, and don't really think driving that nice of a sub with that amp seems... logical. I mean, i was happy with the thud of a JL W3v1 running off the profile @ 4ohms (250w i think) but it had a JL made bandpass, think that was helping quite a bit in the SPL department.So basically do i go with the SA-8v2 realizing it's only gonna have 300w rms thrown at it, or go another route (like dual ID8s, a SA8v1 or maybe SD2)?

Joe X Posted December 11, 2013 Report Share Posted December 11, 2013 Go for a 10", you will get more output on the same amount of power, box size will not be much larger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UKnoitsMe Posted December 11, 2013 Report Share Posted December 11, 2013 pics of car?? Man I'm glad I didn't lock this I get to witness two retards holding hands telling each other that it'll be ok because they are awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lesstutrey Posted December 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2013 Ok, i can do a 10, i mean heck i could put 4 10's in no problem, granted my budget/desires don't go along that route. It's got a big trunk is what i'm saying. So any recomendations on a 10 then or are you saying just get the SA10 because SA10 seems like it would just make my amp seem weaker with the 100w higher RMS rating, but about the same price tag. Now that i think about it, though, same motor just a bigger, and thus more durable, cone and the slight larger diameter means there is more surround, so also adding some durability, basically right? I should sleep, typing out my thoughts. And pics of car, not a bad idea. The pic leads to gallery, cause barely any mod is visible here and the white balance isn't quite right in this shot thanks to booth light. Don't blame me for poor quality of a lot of the pictures, i didn't take a good chunk of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockford96 Posted December 11, 2013 Report Share Posted December 11, 2013 For 300 rms I'd look at sundowns e series Beautiful car btw My setup, Digital Designs M80 3 Re audio 10's ported tuned to 36 hz Kenwood x-696 SHCA 0 gauge Polk audio coax running off hu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
severancej Posted December 11, 2013 Report Share Posted December 11, 2013 I have two sundown e series 12s on my Rockford T500-1 bdcp. They have been fantastic man. Definitely keeps up with my dodge 318's full catless exhaust. 300 Watts imo is fine untill/if you want more. A nicely designed enclosure can make the most out of your system low end.. Check out ram designs if you have a chance. Ps throw us some pictures man, i love novas haha twin 80mm turbos 6spd big brakes 4 link rear suspension daily driver man wish i could hit a lottery 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donovanl12 Posted December 11, 2013 Report Share Posted December 11, 2013 Yeah I'm running 350 watts to their E8 V3, I heard the E8 v3 is about the same specs as the SA8 v1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't blame me for poor quality of a lot of the pictures, i didn't take a good chunk of them. That's the thing with subs, larger diameter + same power = greater output, it's like free watts, for all I know you could do a 12, it comes down to the size of the box you want to have, I would stay on the SA series just because it would just take an amp upgrade to get increased performance.
