smerch6969stepoff Posted February 23, 2014 Report Share Posted February 23, 2014 Hey guys. Right now in my garage i have some speakers and an old pioneer amp, im thinking about 300w. I have a few pinoeer mids and some shitty sony speakers on it which push those fine. What i would like to do is get a new amp for my subs. I got 2 alpine type r 12''s and a pioneer 12''. The pioneer is 300w rms 1300w max and the alpines are 1000rms and 3000w max each (i think). I want something that isent gonna break my wallet but can push the subs better. I would like to beable to run the speakers off my current amp and have a dedicated amp just for the subs. Remember im using them in a garage. Just to clarify: I dont have my subs in a car because im 15 and cant afford a car, i have them in my garage because i race dirtbikes and ride sleds in the winter (snowmobiles) and im constantly working on them. Thanks for any input/help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kyblack76 Posted February 23, 2014 Report Share Posted February 23, 2014 Its just something for inside the garage, to give you some tunes while you work on your car? Id go to a pawn shop, and pick up a cheap ass receiver...... Mount the speakers in the corners, run some wire, done, for under 75 bucks SMD SUPER SELLER The Burban Build Blazer Build sold Acura trunk build sold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What kind of wattage do i need to look for to power those subs? If you could link me to one on amazon or sonicelectronix to get an idea that'd be great!! I don't know much about home audio, but just wanted to say I think its awesome your 15 and already involved! Great! Thanks man, I've been involved for a few years now, making boxes too. My alpine box is a bassworx prefab thing but my pioneer box is custom built. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocktown SPL Posted March 25, 2014 Report Share Posted March 25, 2014 Crown xls1000 amp. It's a professional PA (public address) amplifier that is in a 2 channel (or bridged mono) configuration. It's power ratings are from 215w per in an 8 ohm load to up to 1100w bridged. It also has a built in variable crossover from 50hz (for lowest crossover for hight frequencies) or 3000hz (for the peak crossover for low frequencies). And it would run you about $300. You can pick it up at a Guitar Center or local professional audio shop.

never knows best Posted March 25, 2014 Report Share Posted March 25, 2014 if you go the pawn show way make sure the receiver you get can handle the ohm load of the subs... home receivers are usually 4-8 ohm stable- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocktown SPL Posted March 25, 2014 Report Share Posted March 25, 2014 He wouldn't be breaking the bank. He'd be making an investment in having good quality sound for the long run. I've been in his shoes, when I was his age, looking at home stereo receivers and trying to find a good quality one with high output without costing an arm and a leg. Nowadays home receivers that you find are more AV and 7.1 centered units and are quite costly and not a whole lot of output. And, those as well as some of the cheaply made ones are what you may find on the shelves of the thrift shops. What I suggested, the Crown XLS1000 is what I use regularly. And he may even find a used one at a pro shop. And, to add, he can use that unit to power all of his speakers in the garage and have them crossovered at the frequencies he desires. On a side note, I'd think it'd be cool to see some videos of him racing the dirtbikes and sled.
