Help with my setup please!

[gall34]

hey there, here is the setup i think im planning on going for: components - Boston Acoustics S50, sub - RE Audio RE12 v2, amp - Alpine: MRP-F250. what do you think? i was recommended RE for the sub but im still not sure because there's a vibe, kenwood and boston one for the same sort of price and they all have better RMS ratings? i know it would be hard to power say 1200w sub with s50 components but isnt 175RMS a bit low? any other good quality setups for similar or slightly more prices? let me know. cheers

Get the RE mate you will not regret it atall

yea im pretty sure thats what im gonna go with for a start, do the s50s fit straight in? also anyone know where i can get good sub boxes cheaper, the ones on ebay don't have very good cuft?

if i remember right you can get the bostons in a couple of sizes? if not you will have to get spacers or whatever they are called from motorworld. or be adventurous and do fiberglass moulds :)

Why dont you make the box yourself mate. This means you will get the correct size aswell. Get bigger speakers upfront aswell mate. Do fiberglass door pods mate.

If you are prepared to make mdf adaptors or possibly doorpods then go for 6.5" as they produce much better midbass.

Oh and RMS rating isn't everything, you've made the right choice by going for the RE out of those :)

what do u mean by mdf adaptors for 6.5" comps? how you do that?im alright with some d.i.y but im not too keen on the fibreglass lol
