ArmoredPersonel48698 Posted June 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2009 when looking at amps, dont look at *max/Dynamic/Peak* power at all... always look at RMS values, that wont be that bad for it but i suggest http://www.caraudiodeals.com/audiopipe-ap15001d-p-1452.html that one does very close to rated 1500 rms... if not more. RMS values...alright. I'll see what I can find. have u looked into a 4ch so u chan hear everything or r u just worried about bass Mid & Treble isn't much of a concern right now. For the time being, I'm going to stick with my stock speakers which can handle the power load that my new receiver will put out. Once they fry themselves or I shove a screwdriver through them in anger, I'll replace them and possibly upgrade with a 4 channel amp.

Team_DC-Derrick Posted June 28, 2009 Report Share Posted June 28, 2009 When you add the bass to your car, it might be hard to hear the mids and highs, it could very well drown it out, so looking for a 4ch amp will be in your future very soon Quote The DC Integra 3 18s to 6 15 build log Team_DC-Derrick's Youtube Team DC Audio where theres a will theres a wall.......

ArmoredPersonel48698 Posted June 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2009 (edited) When you add the bass to your car, it might be hard to hear the mids and highs, it could very well drown it out, so looking for a 4ch amp will be in your future very soon Not to mention new speakers. I mean, I've been in loud cars before...but nothing that's absolutely WTFBBQ loud. If I crank my stereo up loud enough, it actually feels like I've got tiny little 8's in the back. I'm impressed with what my cars stock stuff can put out. I think they are 20W RMS 40W peak. Which is crappy...but hey, they're stock. EDIT: What's your opinions on RF P2 subs?

t-money Posted June 29, 2009 Report Share Posted June 29, 2009 but with subs all your really gonna hear is highs. cuz im sure your stock speakers cant produce mids u can hear over the bass Quote 2002 ford focus hatch pioneer DEH-P8400bh infinity kappa 6.5 components front and rear XS Power D1200 Shuriken BT-100 audioque 120.4 2 15 inch audioque HDC3 D2 2 audioque 2200d big 3 mechman 220a alt with external regulator 479-418-3056 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have 2 RF P2 subs that i cant wait to get rid of. they only take like 250 RMS, they are a tad over rated in my opinion. Don t get me wrong, they sounded good in my truck on only a 450 watt amp but its not at all what i though they would be.

ArmoredPersonel48698 Posted June 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2009 (edited) I've broken my list down even more. I'm stuck between the following: Subs: Hifonics ZX12D4/ZX12D2 or Pioneer TS-W308D4/TS-W308D2 (DVC 4 ohm/DVC 2 ohm) RMS values = 500 for the Hifonics, and 400 for the Pioneers. Amps: Autotek SM1-1000 (1kw RMS @ 1 Ohm), Crunch P1500.1 (750w RMS @ 1 Ohm), or Crunch P1000.1 (500w RMS @ 1 Ohm). Do remember that I'll be getting two subs and preferably wiring them at 1 Ohm which should be all that hard. EDIT: Sealed or ported?

BigJohnny Posted June 29, 2009 Report Share Posted June 29, 2009 since you mention budget and everyone here is talking about the main components, have you also considered the cost of everything else, such as wiring, connectors, fuseblocks, powerwire for the HO alt/big 3 etc? I'm finding that wiring is becoming my biggest problem, I still need a bunch of 1/0 and other odds and ends that will likely cost me close to $400 ($100 of which is the 1/0) for just the stuff needed to power/wire the amp, subs and head unit that I've spent $400+ on already, (KDC-MP538U, Dual XPA4100, and Insignia party pak) there is also the boxes im building, and the amp racks I will need to build, cost of fiberglass to build the racks, the component speakers I need for my cab, and i'm sure other crap I can't think of. wen I think about this it makes me sad because it's been over a year and I still can't afford everything I need to get it in, and I don't really have any resources to help me with the stuff that I really need help with.... it's looking like another year or two or longer before I can finally install my god damn system.
