AVY_TOTIN'_SLAM Posted May 29, 2010 Report Share Posted May 29, 2010 Whats powering em'? Need the details... But generally the cone area is a good rule to go by.

AVY_TOTIN'_SLAM Posted May 29, 2010 Report Share Posted May 29, 2010 i already said what was powering them NICE EDIT BTW. The 8's ur gunna get into ohms load issues if you dont know what ur doin.

sebasstian Posted May 29, 2010 Report Share Posted May 29, 2010 i say go with the 8's they will be cool and if you tune it really low it will be insane. noone will believe there 8's. if you only get 3 of the 12's you have to wire them up or you'll give em too much juice and possibly blow them 12 RE audio X series 12's 4 gauge wiring to back batt (soon to be 0 gauge) 0 gauge from batt to amp kinetik 1800 in back clarion cx-200 HU SPL 3000 wired at 2 ohms 8 Re 6.5 full range speakers Re Xt 800.4 4 channel amplifier Autopager car alarm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
