rockage Posted August 14, 2010 Report Share Posted August 14, 2010 hey guys, new here, just joined. Right now I have 2 12" rockford fosgate punch p2's being pushed by a 1200w amp. I'm looking to go with something that will hit harder. My friend has one 12" kicker l7 and his is louder than both of mine, yet he has a 800w amp. I'm not sure what's wrong with that. anyways I'm selling what I have to a friend for pretty cheap in hopes of starting fresh. I need some advice as far as what to look for next. I've been looking at cardiscountstereos.com for a little bit and their prices seem good, is the site legit ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been looking at cardiscountstereos.com for a little bit and their prices seem good, is the site legit ? What's ur amp? if its a offbrandish type it might not really be 1200w as in his might be a high end and really be 800, also depends on the box, also urs is 1200rms correct and his is 800rms, if u get them confused then his really could be 600rms, and if hes running at 2 ohms or lower or something he could be pushing way more than 800 watts anyway if its rated at 800 at 4ohms. I also heard the cvx'es are better than the l7's, same motor just circle, same power to I think, Im also looking at the Hifonic BXi 2006D, 2000rms at 1 ohm witch would match 2 cvx'es perfectly. Thats just my noob 2 cents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt402 Posted August 14, 2010 Report Share Posted August 14, 2010 im just guessing those amps are "max" power... id suggest this company to look into. http://www.dcsoundlab.com/ DC lvl 2s & 3s are great "budget" subs. call DC & ask for prices or an area dealer 775-425-5700.

rockage Posted August 14, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2010 Right now I'm looking to spend ~300 between subs and an amp. Is that possible ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mosin Posted August 14, 2010 Report Share Posted August 14, 2010 (edited) X2 on DC Audio woofers. edit: Do you currently have a box? Are you gonna build one or??? What size woofers were you looking for? Someone might suggest a woofer like a 15 or 18 that may be to large for the application. Edited August 14, 2010 by solo_x18 Quote Derp.

juanharu4913 Posted August 14, 2010 Report Share Posted August 14, 2010 2 12" cvr's on a kenwood 500rms amp would be around that, (kac-8105d) would be around that, theres more amps out there but i know for a fact u can get that all for 300 refurbed off ebay, if i was u i might just try to find a better amp/make sure ur subs are getting the right amount of power first.

I have a box, but its the rockford fosgate one like this: http://www.carstereomall.com/tn.php?quality=90&width_size=300&name=2007/11/pl2-210_1_l.jpg I may be looking to pay someone to make me a box, IDK. as for size, I'm not really sure, I'm looking for a good hard hitting bass though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just looking to start fresh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt402 Posted August 14, 2010 Report Share Posted August 14, 2010 i would get a box made... http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_19556_Rockford+Fosgate+Punch+P500-1BD.html & a pair of DC lvl 2s... ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockage Posted August 14, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2010 how much are the dc subs ? 250 was more than i was looking to spend for just the amp but if the subs are decently priced I could budget for it. I won't need anything extra then just the normal wiring kit for this build would i ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
