XSVTOYZ Posted November 24, 2018 Report Share Posted November 24, 2018 I started simple enough I had a kicker amp and and ancient jl 10 with an old dual cd hd radio I have now upgraded to pioneer nex 5000 skar audio 6x8 rpx blaupunkt 7502 for the 6x8 (hey it was on sale!) the mtx road thunder was not getting it done I started with 1 vd-10 in an old mtx thunder form it was ok jbl gtx 500 wired the skar to 2ohm and it was very nice. that woofer really moves! I have wired the blaupunkt with 4 gauge cca (I know!) and the jbl with 4 gauge welding wire on a circuit breaker I feel they jbl and skar are a good match I bought an old kicker comp box for another use that didnt work out, so I put the skar in the that and it really likes a vented box, things are feeling good I bought another skar audio vd-10 and put it in another kicker box and even at 4 ohm on the jbl at 350 its better! I tend to run my amp at fulll for the highs and the sub filter all the way up I let the pioneer cross it over and it seems to work nice I was wondering would I be better to run a 1 ohm amp I figure about $180 or get another jbl I saw one used at the swap $40 with wiring another $30 and run 2 amps for the subs? I am very space challenged and those 2 boxes take more seat space than I wanted to give up. also I have not and really would like to avoid power upgrades so I am hoping to keep the current draw as low as is reasonable to expect. I have been a little unsure about posting as this is a 1000 watt system and I am in not invested like the posts I read I am older than dirt and just wanted to play with the old tacoma 2003 pre runner single cab 2.7 , I added a super charger at 12 psi boost!
