He actually should fine on stock electrical. My friend who has the 10's version runs them on 1200 watts RMS no problem, even at idle. He has a stock and original 90 amp alternator in a 19 year old car with a basic battery. The subs won't be getting 1200 watts most of the time anyways due to...

I would get the D4S JP8, it can do 1200 watts RMS at 1 ohm on the dyno. However your budget will go higher than $300 if you buy woofers and a box to accommodate for this power. A decent box is gonna cost you over $100, even if you build it yourself. So I'd just spend the money to get a...

Yeah, it's what I thought it was, but I wanted to make sure it was actually that. I'll get to fixing it when I have the time soon. Thank you guys

Hi, I have a Sundown Audio SIA-2500 running 2 American Bass XR's wired at 2 ohms to the amplifier. The amplifier sometimes cuts out randomly for a second here and there at higher volumes and I really doubt its pushing the 2500 watts it's supposed to at 2 ohm (even accounting for impedance...

Yeah I thought that I could put a single 12 in there, but it would be a little oversized I feel. I wish I had the T/S parameters because I don't really know for this sub. Is it still worth building this box for 2 10s if a single 12 might beat it in this size?

I've started to hate planning my build for 2 American Bass 10's that will go behind my seat of my wrangler. This design idea is that it they can be played while the rear seat is still there, so I made the box at more of an angle than the seat is so there a bit of room back there for the sub...

I'm looking to spend just under or about $400 on a pair of 10's. I have 3 cubic feet of internal volume available on a custom ported box I will build according to the sub I end up choosing. I would say I'm looking for sound quality, but I'm also looking for really high volume too. I'm currently...

An oscilloscope if you dont have a clipping indicator of some sorts. It can be the difference of your subs lasting weeks versus years. A multimeter is good if your amp has headroom (or extra power you don't plan on using), but it won't indicate if your amplifier is sending a distorted signal

Thanks for the helpful info. To be honest I think I'll get it, its the clipping light on the knob that really sells me. Pretty hard to fry subs like that, and I don't have to use my o-scope if I decide to change the tuning. Just out of curiosity though, what caused your other SFB amps to fail?

Wow thanks for the detail. I'm working with a Wrangler that has very little space behind the seat. I figured I'd run a ported box with flared PVC tube(s) as the port. I can squeeze 3 cubes of internal volume out of it (not including sub and port displacement), but sadly 4th order is out of the...

Just curious, why don't people like Skar? I don't really like them because I know theirs warranties are bad, but I don't have real experience with them. Do they not last, are they inefficient? Just trying to gain knowledge.

I don't really know much about CT sounds but the price difference is really close to the American Bass, not sure which one I should pick in this instance. Do you think my electrical could even handle 2k+ watts (after factoring in inefficiencies)? You've recommended me a Sundown SIA in a...

Hi, I'm currently running a 117 stock alternator and a decent battery (Redtop Optima). I already have a 4 channel amp running 100 RMS x 4 and I'm thinking about upgrading my subs. I'm planning to build a box for 2 10's with 3 cubic feet of internal volume. I've narrowed down my choices for subs...

Wow that 70% sounds really nice, I would be running crazy stuff if I had the space with that discount. But kicker gear varies for me. The more expensive stuff seems to be about 37% off and the cheaper Comp R's are about 50% off. So the 15" Comp Q runs me $271. That's also why I asked about...
