well with the technology fot subs today you can get one 12inch that sounds louder then one 15 or two twelve's ive even heard a single 8inch sub sound louder and smoother then two twelve's.

no stay away from sony subwoofers atleast go with Rockford Fosgate or Alpine.

azi90

any specific reason why ? also what ULTRA LOW BASS OUTPUT ? does that mean the bass will be minimum ?

lowlife9

because there complete and udder garbage bad sound quality and even worse reliability they will literally ''explode''. i would personally get this http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_...s-Package.html

I'm running a single 12" and people think I run 2 12's.

Try looking at crutchfield's canadian website.

My single 8 inch Infinity Reference kicks ***! Better then the 2 10inch Pioneers I had. It can rattle my car but its turned down cause I don't like that.

Get a good quality amp and sub with properly matched ratings and sub box volume.

So i ended up buying these subs
http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_...s-Package.html
and now im looking for amps .. im considering these amps
http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_...s-AR1500M.html ... how are they ?
Also if my sub has RMS power of 400 watts but total peak power of 1200 watts and i provide it with 700 watts through my amp will it blow my sub?

GolNat

The sub is rated at 400 rms at 4 ohms so you want an amp that puts out that. 700 is to high.

Amp should be rated between 75% and 150% of the subs rating.

Hows this http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_...-CER1700M.html

azi90

anyone plz?

GolNat

iTrader: (7)

Yes that amp would be good.

Not sure how I feel about an amp that cheap...

azi90

ok than how about this one ?
http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_...-KAC-7205.html

it says it gives me 500w if i bridge it to my subs...

azi90

anyone pleasee ... im running out of time they have only one left

lowlife9

yes definitely get the kennwood. BOSS is even worse then sony.

GolNat

iTrader: (7)

You are just running 1 sub correct?

azi90

yeah

GolNat

iTrader: (7)

Ok, just making sure because you were saying sub(s) and the amps were single channel or the wrong rms rating per channel.

azi90

No i got one 12 inch 400 rms.. and i got same brand amp which im gonna bridge to produce 500watts at 1 channel at 4 ohm... sounds ok ?

GolNat

Yea that will be good. 500W is plenty. You might have to upgrade your door speakers and/or headunit if you haven't already. My system is about 250W and my stock speakers have a hard time putting out enough power to blend with the sub. I had to turn the intensity on the amp down to compensate so its not as loud or intense as I would like it. The stock speakers crackle also when I turn it up past a certain point.

azi90

i have afermarket jvc headunit and for speakers i think i am okay with stock...

Lol once you get a sub, you'll realize how shitty your speakers are.

azi90

is that really so .. i cant spend another bill or 2 now on speakers too

If only you could go back in time 6years, invent the same products and install them in a 2001-2005 civic and post about it.
