clint243 Posted March 27, 2008 Report Share Posted March 27, 2008 hey guys ....let me start off by saying this is a great forum and I have enjoyed looking and reading all of th posts . My question is I need a good pair of 10's to work in a small enclosure that is under the back seat of a 2008 crew cab silverado. I have the box already and I had a pair of elemntal 10's(tried something new) well to make a long story short they did not last very long...approx 2 weeks and blew the surround off one of them. I have been out of car audio for a few years but in the past I have always ran fosgate speakers and amps and loved them, but from advice from another person I tried the elemntals and now wish i hadnt ..... I am looking at the fosgate P3D410 line and I was wondering if anyone had any insight on these and if there was a difference between them and the fosgate P310D4. reason i am looking at these is the airspace I have is .70cf sealed and a mounting depth of 6.75". I have an older fosgate power 1000.2 running them....and i love this amp it has been a workhorse for me ...... oh and if anyone wants a pair of elemental 10's ...one of which will be brand new ...I can make a killer deal on some ... thanks in advance Clint Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quote you can cook bacon shirtless if you're not a pussy...lol not hatin, but am i wrong here it looks as if the amp is not grounded its hooked directly to the battery. it that the way it should be.

clint243 Posted March 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2008 that is a thought but I would rather not take the box back apart ...I already have it finished ...but i can if that is a last resort ....and I have never run alpine subs .....I run their head units and amps but thats all ...I have the w-205 in my truck now and I love it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clint243 Posted March 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2008 no it is not ....it is a 2 channel that is stable down to 2 ohms stereo.....which is why i was wanting the 4ohm dvc subs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noobtastic14 Posted March 27, 2008 Report Share Posted March 27, 2008 (edited) so your going 4ohm net (2 per channel) bridged? my old school fosgate amp took net 2ohm (1per channel) bridged all day and really impressed me Dual 4 version- http://www.woofersetc.com/index.cfm?fuseac...Product_ID=5820 -Drew (disclaimer, still learning about wiring 2ch amps, i may be mistaken with wiring) Edited March 27, 2008 by Noobtastic14 Quote I am a United States Military Arts and Crafts Professional.

Scapelli21 Posted March 27, 2008 Report Share Posted March 27, 2008 ok, dual 4s go down to 1 ohm, dual 2s are what u want Quote 2003 Chevy Trailblazer LTZ Pioneer 980BT 16 SA-10's - 4th Order Bandpass NS-1 - 3 D3100's DC & XS Power, Audio Technix, Sound Deadener Showdown Team Sundown Audio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen Posted March 27, 2008 Report Share Posted March 27, 2008 ok, dual 4s go down to 1 ohm, dual 2s are what u want dual 4's can be wired to 4 or 1 ohm which if you bridge the 2 channel it is 4 ohm stable. get d4's and bridge the amp.

clint243 Posted March 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2008 no i will not bridge it ...I prefer to run it in stereo ....just a personal prefernce I guess.....but this way I can run it at 2 ohms ....and think you provided was for the shallow mount subs and I want to stay away from them if I can ....
