Brick2560 Posted July 7, 2008 Report Share Posted July 7, 2008 Well, I'm pretty damn new to car audio, I fell in love with it watching Steve's videos on youtube. I have a 1998 Ford F150 extended cab, currently equipped with a Pioneer DEH-P4900IB head unit and 2 sets of Power Acoustik PR-573C PR series 3 way (200W) speakers in the door panels. the speakers would sound fine if it werent for my door panels, I listen to rap mostly and even when the volume is down it shakes the door panels and sounds like s***. custom panels are out of the question so I figured I'll just have to add some bassage. right now I've got a killer deal on a pair of Rockford Fosgate Punch stage 3 shallow mounts 12's, dual 4 Ohm (which I have no idea what the heck that means, if someone could help me out w/ that) and are running 400RMS each. I've looked through many amps but dont really know what I'm looking for. If someone could help me out with how big of an amp I should run, and also what gauge of wiring I should use. I'm currently running on about $150-$200 for an amp. If someone could help me out I'd greatly appreciate it. I tryed to give you all I could info wise so excuse me if I sound noob-ish Quote "Buy some shit, Build some shit, Bang some shit!" - Dr. DB Joe owns my soul.

Brick2560 Posted July 7, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2008 (edited) Thanks, I was planning on investing in some of that, but I'm still wondering what size of amp I should run to the subs. Also the fact that the speakers aren't loud enough and cant hit some of the lows, that aggrivates me alot.

Maybe a Kicker 750.1??? Do you have a box for the woofers yet? Quote Derp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qu1cks1lver56 Posted July 7, 2008 Report Share Posted July 7, 2008 if the subs are rated at 400rms a piece then find an 800rms amp. your price is a little low, i was gonna reccomend a RF but anything in that power range seems a little high Quote First Gen Xterra: Always changing DNX 690HD RF 360.3RF T3002RF T4004RF T10001bdSilver Flute 6.5"s Tang Band 1" TweetersSundown X18 in 7cubes net tuned to 32hz Trust me .25 Blows your Load.

Brick2560 Posted July 7, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2008 (edited) Solo_x18: Nope, I have VERY limited room, I'll upload pics in a few. Quicksilver: since RF is rather pricey what would you suggest in that price range? I know Boss makes cheaper high powered amps, but I have no idea what quality they are. I really wish I had more cash to spend on this but I'm only 16 with a cheap paying job.
