Hey all. I've been around here before and got some great advice regarding my previous installations, so I figured I'd try it again with a new vehicle. Just purchased a 2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo that's in great shape. Obviously I want to improve the audio, so I figured I'd turn to any of...

Hey all, real quick question regarding the wiring of my new Infinity Kappas. I already have some Pioneer 6x9s in the back, but with the new 4x6s, is it crucial to wire them to the Alpine MRP-M500 amp I have? We're looking at 60 W RMS, so is it necessary to wire it to the amp, or what should I...

Thanks Slayerx. I looked at the Treo subs. Are they any good? Where can I find the prices?

Alright, would ported or sealed be a better bet?

Sorry, forgot that bit of info. Probably around $300. Small budget, I know. I'm 17 and taking college preparatory classes, so I have little available time, so no job. Just using money I've saved up.

So I got my first sub about a year ago (Alpine Type-R 12"). However, even though it pounds pretty hard for one sub, I'm looking to get something with a higher level of clarity with the sub hitting at the right time. Obviously I want something that still hits, but it doesn't have to be over the...

If I were to purchase some 4x6 Infinity Kaapas, what else would I need? Wiring? Other accessories?

It's a 12 inch, if that changes anything.

I hate to say it, but I'm a rap guy. It's not the ONLY music I listen to. Actually, my favorite band is Motley Crue, but I got the subs for the bass, so I'm getting into rap.

Bottom line: I want my box to be between 32-36 hz. My box is 1.94 cubic feet (20x16x14). The port will be 2.5x14" (35 sq. inches). Now, I'm confused with how this will affect the hz? I want it in that range because I've read that'll provide me with deeper bass. I'm just confused with how big my...

Would a 2.6 cubic foot box be too large if the recommended size is between one and two cubes? Obviously it's a little over 25% too big, but would that make a huge difference in quality? Most importantly, would it affect the sub in any way? And lastly, my port, which is on top, is 2.5" x 14"...

So my subwoofer (Alpine Type R 12") is dual voice coil 4 ohm. Now what I'm confused with is it's wiring down to 2 ohms (for 500 watts RMS). I wired down to "2 ohms", but is that per voice coil, making it 4 ohms, thus leaving me with only 300 watts RMS? If so, does that mean I'd have to wire it...

I understand that, but how do I wire the positives to each other on the subwoofer itself?

How would I go positive to positive on the sub, to positive on the amp?

I have an Alpine Type-R, 12", 500 watts RMS at 2 ohms. + - + - I wired the first positive, and the second negative, to my amp. I then used one of the small wires (I guess they're called jumpers), to connect the first negative and second positive. I'm trying to wire it to 2 ohms. Is that...
