ya i should prob mention that it's already wired in series and i have it bridged off a wimpy 2 channel kenwood (im getting like 150w RMS) but i need more power....The PPI also looks nice. Whats the diff between 12v and 14.4v? Im not a moron...i mean i know that the car battery is 12 volt and...

That JBL one looks ******* **** though. For some reason i never even considered the option of a 3 channel for this setup...dur   ---------- Post added at 02:41 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:41 AM ----------   why is se xy bleeped out?

i should probably mention that i'm looking for a bit of a budget amp...i don't want to spend more than $200. I would prefer to buy used as well.

I need to upgrade my sub amp AND amp my fronts... Please recommend me a good 4 chan that can help me power the following: Image Dynamics IDQ 10 D2 V.2 - RMS is 250w...however I have heard that these puppies can take closer to 400 or 500....correct me if i'm wrong Rockford Fosgate Fanatic P...

i always keep eq level (cut rather than boost) and when i set the gain i turned off all bass boosting ect. I still wasnt happy with how loud the sub was so i needed to keep turning the gain up. i can;t max out my head unit volume or get past like 80% without it distorting the fronts (they;re...

Ok just got it all wired up (first install - whoo!!) and it sounds solid. Bass isnt real loud but loud enough for now. I do have to get the fronts amped and more power for the sub. One question...since this amp is weak compared to the sub is it a bad idea to have the gain up on MAX? The amp...

Any one wanna give me feedback on my budget setup up to this point? I think it's gonna be pretty solid considering I will have paid like $250 for the whole deal (i installed myself) I've got: Pioneer DEH-P6800mp HU Rockford Fosgate Fanatic P series components in front (5.25in mids) Alpine...

Thanks this n helped a lot. And i realize it's not going to get loud...it's more or less temporary until i upgrade the amp. But surely it will be loud enough to be heard over my comps and 6x9s (which are run off the head unit for now)? Btw this is a SQ (budget) setup, i listen to mostly old...

thanks, but see my above post. I took it out of the box and it's a 2 Ohm rather than 4 ohm and it's wired in series....making it 4 ohm load? Does that mean i can get a good 150w RMS from my amp if i wire it in bridged at 4 ohm?

He's a moron....I opened it up and it's a D2, not a D4. as for the wiring...the positive of one coil and the negative of the other are wired to the pos and neg's at the back of the enclosure. The neg of one coil is wired directly to the pos of the other... which i believe makes it wired in series?

i know. i have read through this **** over and over again. Im not lazy but obviously im a moron. I'm aware of the diagrams out there and obviously it's not making sense even when spelled out to me. Can someone please give me a better answer than "UTFSE" as i've already been doing that.

Ok so i got a Image Dynamics IDQ10 V2 and a Kenwood KAC5204 off this guy on craigslist. He said they will work fine together. Here's the specs on the amp: 2-channel car amplifier 60 watts RMS x 2 at 4 ohms (75 watts x 2 at 2 ohms) 150 watts RMS x 1 bridged output at 4 ohms (4-ohm stable in...

not to jack your thread but I'm in the Grand Rapids area and am in a similar situation to OP. Just building my first system and I've never really heard a good car system. Heard plenty of home audio setups, but no good car ones, aside from those who JUST upgraded the subs and nothing else in...

Just like the title says im trading my bass guitar for subs. The guy is offering either one 12w3 or 12w0. Either choice includes an enclosure. WHICH IS BETTER? He's also giving me an "Xtreme 500.2 amp"? No idea what this is...maybe the Orion one but not sure. Tell me if this is a good...

That's very possible, but I've gotta wait a few weeks until i get paid, so if you still have it then , i may hit you up
