well i have been thinking about a decent system for a while now i have come up with s50's up front already got
and a http://www.caraudiodirect.co.uk/audio-se12-p-2962.html not got yet

so now im thinking about amps i have about £200ish for amp around 700rms for sub what about this http://caraudiosecurity.com/shop/pro...s_id/2956.html good SQ? no of any think better for the price?

and i have about £100 to £150 for an amp for the s50's is there any think better than the Audison SRX2 for around that price?

id go for an alpine amp for the sub everything else seems great stuff

plus with this amp you save a bit and with v-power then you cant go wrong i bought one recently to power my 2 12s and i really cant fault them

looks like a good amp but i need 750+ rms as i will be running my pioneer http://www.pioneer.co.uk/uk/products...SPL/index.html while i save up money for the re is that poineer any good?

Predator_R32^p · 14th January 2007, 17:05

you dont need the exact amount mate that amp is more than capable of the job, infact its probbly better getting a job a bit under powered as its less of a chance of blowing the sub

liam_b · 28th January 2007, 00:49

well have decided(sp) on my install i think am going to have both my Pioneer TS-W121SPL's 750rms each in one 6 cu:ft ported box running off 2 JBL: GTO-1201.1 Mono Amplifiers 800 rms each witch should give me about 140db and i will have my s50's running off a Audison SRX2 and i will be sound profing front and read door cards boot and if its easy my roof what you think?

mehmeh · 28th January 2007, 00:59

You'd probably be better off buying a single larger amp. That kind of money will get you something decent, likewise half of it would get you a good amp secondhand, like a burning desire II.

Predator_R32^p · 28th January 2007, 00:59

sounds like a good plan mate, with the box make sure theres a partition in the centre so theres an enclosure for each sub

maybe be get an audison amp to power one of the subs and components and another amp for just the sub

liam_b · 28th January 2007, 01:12

yeah mate still gotta make final decisions(sp) on amps but will deff make the box will be 15.5" Tall x 17" deep x 40" wide oh yeah i have read that i dont need a partition in the centre due to it having just one port going to put a post up on ta befor any think goes ahead but i8 have seen the setup i am doing just havnt got all the specs

didnt see your post till now mate but just had a look at that amp burning desire II and the rms aint that good only (2 ohms) 2 x 500 rms i know i dont need 750 but as im going for street bass and a very loud system i want at least 800rms for each you know of a decent amp thats a 2 channel 800 each thats under 400ish?

mehmeh · 28th January 2007, 13:52

Huh, the burning desire 2 is 2000WRMS @ 1ohm. So 1kW per sub.
It iwll set you back about £200

I think you may been looking at the BDI, the spec of the BDII is:

1 x 1200W @ 4 ohm (0.07% THD)
1 x 1750W @ 2 ohm (0.07% THD)
1 x 2000W @ 1 ohm (0.07% THD)

You say your main objective is streetbase, yet you have chosen RE's SQ oriented model sub. If you're after streetbase i'd suggest looking at the SX12 (or even better, the 15"). That along with the BDII would be much better for streetbase than the setup you have chosen.

So long as you set the amp up properly and go easy on the gains, you could run the BDII at 1 ohm to power the SX12 (giving it 2000w RMS).

i think you might of read it wrong or could just be my shit grammer lol i have 2 Pioneer TS-W121SPL i was going to get a re sub soon but im going to use the pioneer subs for a while as i already have them so im looking for amp/s for them but i will be using the same amp/s when i get the re so i want an amp/s that would be ok for the pioneers for a while then i will sell 1 off or somethink and get a re sub you get what i mean?

thanks for the help so far lads

doubt you know any where i could get it new dont relly like buying 2nd hand ice and not sure if i want that amp as i wont be able to use it with the re i dont think but would 2 JBL: GTO-1201.1 Mono Amplifiers running at 4ohm 800 rms be ok?

liam_b · 3rd February 2007, 02:44

well after some words wth the ice gods i am going to sell my pioneers and get some think better i have £300 for a sub and £200ish for an amp im looking for some think around 600rms or more and decent SQ?

would there be much difference in SQ between these 2

i know people rate the SRX2 but is it relly worth the extra £60?

liam_b · 4th February 2007, 23:07

think im going to get this sub http://www.caraudiodirect.co.uk/audio-se12-p-2962.html now as i remember being told its good what amp would be good with this sub got around £300 even better if i could get a 3 channel amp so i can run sub and s50's of same amp

Predator_R32^p · 4th February 2007, 23:12

good choice maye ive heard great things from them

liam_b · 4th February 2007, 23:17

was going to get the SX12 but not sure how much better it would be for the extra £70 plus its 400 rms more than the se so would have to spend more on an amp should have my sound proofing this week might make a post with loads of pics going to to both skins on doors should be fun

mehmeh · 5th February 2007, 19:02

The SE will be more than perfect for the average needs

. If on the otherhand you even have a niggling feeling you'll want to upgrade in the future, then do it now; it'll cost you a fortune by changing it all again.

liam_b · 5th February 2007, 20:45

na i have heard some relly good things about the SE so if i do every updrade then all it will be is geting another SE so what amp for around £200 £300 if it can run the comps aswell would be good for this setup and would there be much difference in SQ between these 2
