i get my subs, 2 kicker cvr10s, they are 250rms each, 500 peak

to save money im gunna run a line out converter

this will allow me to get a better amp also, which is my next question

im looking at this one:

i really dont know crap about audio but bump for an answer where's emp he is who u need to talk to

the second one is going to be your best bet for the combo you want, the dual channel amp will deliver enough rms to each sub with out over powering the subs, the first amp would be to weak for the 2 subs but it would work if you had to

oh and what impedance is the subs?

cause the second amp would be your best bet cause it is dual channel and will deliver close to rms for each sub, depending on the resistance of the coils, that will determine how much power the amp will put out and depending on how you wire the subs(series or parallel) you can alter how the amp views you subs resistance

u could get a mono amp........and run them ontop of each other........cuts the impedence in half and that will bump.........im in the middle of doing my system.......i went wit a 12 inch bazooka tube and running a 400 watt amp to it.....and a 4 channel 400 watt amp to my new speakers.........and dont forget to dynamat!!!

nikebaseballx00

yea dynamat is not in the plans lol

im on a tight budget like under 300 haha

i have the free subs, so i just need to get an amp, wiring and im gunna make my own boxes

the first one would be good cuz they are dual voice coil.... i think, if i ran them ontop of each other that would make a 2ohm impedence, which with that amp is 500rms, that to the 2 250rms subs would be perfect

Tank07

do yourself a favor.......save up your money and do it right and do it once.........ur 16 so u got plently of time...........im 18 bro and i finally have the money to play around with but it takes hard work and taking those extra hours when the boss offers......just my 2 cents good luck wit the sub install.......and if ur doing a LOC i suggest MTX RE-Q

joeworkstoohard

what you wanna do, assuming that your subs are 4ohm coils. is wire them for a 2 ohm load so that you can keep the gain low.

do not make your own boxes unless you know exaclty how to make the cubic ft that each sub requires

joeworkstoohard

well, that, and it's a pain in the *****. if you don't need something specific, it's alot easier to buy rather than build.

I had two comp VR's in my mustang, and ran a KX750 amp, and had the gain turned way down. I have a KX450 amp in my balt, and run two equally mtx subs and it pushes them just fine. You can save you some money there and still get the same quality.

and your goiing to want dynomat.... its horible without it

nikebaseballx00

how many rms were the subs rated at?

yea, thats later down the road

although every kid at school with subs doesnt have dynomat and they sound alrite, just a few rattles here and there

one kid has 2 kicker l7s, 12" squares running a hifonics brutus to them, **** pounds lol

yea but i need the subs to be at each corner of my trunk, i need my trunk space for snowboarding lol

i know not to aim the subs at each other either so im gunna angle them forward

its not about rattles it helps 4050500% with reflecting the sound back to yoU!

my comp vr's were the same as what you had, in the kicker ported box. my new subs are mtx 5500 series 12's. they are 400 watts rms a piece, but my 450 pushes them fine. Unless your going to max them out ALL the time, I think you can get by with a 450 watt amp. Plus with a smaller amp you definately won't have to use a power cap. You should check out www.ikesound.com for some reeally good deals on stereo stuff, I live by this website, and would suggest it to anyone looking to buy stereo equipment. They have REALLY cheap wiring kits too.

thanks for the info, i want atleast 200rms to each sub so any amp that pushes 400-500rms will do the job

i found a good amp on that site that would work either at 2 or 4ohms perfect, at 2ohms it puts out 280rms and at 4ohms it puts out 220rms
i just found it at sonicelectronix for like $10 more, but im gunna buy my wiring and LOC from there too so it will save me in the long run

Good deal, I figured you could get by with the 450 watt amp, and save some money there. Let us know how it goes when you get everything in.

nikebaseballx00

yea thanks again, i can get it on ebay for 115 so i might just get a LOC from somewhere local along with the wiring

how much do u think it would cost to make 2 small subwoofer pods for each corner? if i did it in the back of the trunk i would use fiberglass, if i did it in the front of the trunk agains the seats, i would make a triangle like box for each side so i can fit my snowboard in

hymer741

i'd stick with the 1 channel for subs

2005yellow2.oss

I don't know anything about boxes. I would go with ported boxes. thats what kicker went with for their boxes, even though I know alot of people live by sealed boxes. Sealed boxs hit harder, but you get better sound quality out of a ported box, IMO.

aawww man why 10's?

2005yellow2.oss

the 450 is a class d mono

hymer741

right... i only use 1 channel/mono block amps with subs.. and it definitely pays off

agreed.. plus kickers produce a high amount of air.. it's like these things are made for ported boxes lol

what the hell? all kinds of nonsense up there

what impedence are the coils. dual 2 or dual 4? If you have 2 dual 2 subs then you want the mono block. if you have 2 dual 4 subs you want the 2 channel. End of story

nikebaseballx00

eh im not really sure because i have to go get the subs tomorrow from my neighbor 5 houses down lol, but either way it will be a good starter system

i placed my order:

dont bitch about my wiring, if its really shitty i have extra stuff at home, just wasnt sure if it would be enough so i bought some extra stuff that was cheap with good reviews...

all should be here in a week or 2
