Right looking at this

http://caraudiosecurity.com/shop/pro...s_id/5429.html

i will be building a boot install so i wont be using the box they supply but then if the build goes all wrong ill end up using it

dont want anything super just some nice bass, been offered other bits from places but ends up around the £500 mark and i really dont wanna spend that its not like ill be entering into car sound shows just for my personal use dont wanan go any higher than 150 to be really honest

Thats a pretty shit deal tbh mate.

And why 2 subs? 1 is better than 2 imo, and i have tried both...

I'd go with one or if you must two of these...

Then power it/them up with this...

That would pump about 290 rms into EACH SUB if you were to have 2!

thats a good sub (the jbl one) i have it and it sounds great.

RMS is more of a guideline mate, the sub will take more power than what is stated dont worry about it

That one is shit mate. Dont bother with it. 2 average subs and a crappy amp.

Predator_R32^p · 13th April 2008, 13:19

ive had a legacy amp before and i can safely say never again

Modified · 13th April 2008, 14:26

lol ok then well
lets put me some bits together then after 2 12" subs and a amp, nothing amazing just nothig over £150

unless i get one sub and amp this month and build the boot install at least then ill have the sizes and then get the other the following month

Predator_R32^p · 13th April 2008, 14:26

i still say go for one mate or save up a bit more money

Coonper · 13th April 2008, 15:12

One is better than 2 imo!

You could get one good sub, and a proper amp to power it with.

You could probably be running 300-400w rms with £150

Modified · 13th April 2008, 15:36

really wanan build this

what would be an idea is get a good amp and one sub and then have the option in the future to add another sub to it, happy to do that

Predator_R32^p · 13th April 2008, 15:47

well just build it like that without the 2 boxes mate

Links to sub and amp for that price to push out that sort of power? That included a box or purely just the sub and an amp?

I agree i think it would look good with the Amp on one side of the box lit up and the sub the other side. Would look pretty good like that i think.

300w rms

400w rms
http://www.caraudiodirect.co.uk/alpi...50-p-4685.html

Wiring Kit

http://www.caraudiodirect.co.uk/dyna...wg-p-5576.html

That would be an awesome set up imo! About the best you can get for £150(ish)! Unless you go 2nd hand of coarse!

ok i have seen twin 12 fli subs with enclosed amp for 125 on the website above think that would be easier and save me building i guess

so how we feel about this! think this will be the way forward and then when i got more money after done some other stuff to the car can get a better amp!
will that please every1?

Coonper · 14th April 2008, 08:55

Thats the best bet mate^^^

Are you plannning on having 1 or 2 subs? Because this will determine what voice coil set up to go for...

If you run 2 subs, you want to make sure you get dual 4 ohm subs, but if you are sticking with just one, get a dual 2 ohm.

This way you get the most out of the amp!

And there is no need to get a better amp, that one is very good!

to be honest wanna go for 2 subs and if after a while i dont like i can always sell the other sub and change the build then but wanna stick with the plan to have two subs! are those subs dual 4ohms? i have no idea! =)
