Currently have a Rockford Fosgate 100RMS sub, and I believe a Kicker 150RMS Amp. I think my wires are fine and won't need a kit, except for possibly fuse issues. Budget, eh, I'd like to get the sub for around $130 (last I knew, I could get it for that shipped) and then maybe 100-$150 for the...

Alpine Type R's do support a dual voice coil always, I think. I have seen some two ohm subs too, so that is what you're saying to go with and a mono amp?

I've traded in my vehicle and got room for one 12" sub, roughly 1.5' of cubic feet for the volume. I think I will go with one Alpine Type R 12" sub, but I am not sure what ohmage would be best. I assume 2 ohm is the lowest they go, and to use a mono amp I'd need the two 4ohms wired down to 1...

I know amps have filters, but I don't want to spend another $120 when I get my bass system, so that's why I was curious. Can you please explain these better; will I be able to be sending bass signals to my rear amp and subs without making my front 6.5" speakers sound like crap that are just...

I'm thinking I will try for some Alpine SWR-1223 Type R, 2 Ohm.

The box is not prefabricated. My brother built it for his Kicker CompVR 12-Inch woofers. They are 300 watts RMS per coil, dual voice coil. He talked with a Kicker support group and got the specs needed to get the most out of these subs. (Once again, like I said earlier, rougly 2.0CF per...

The enclosure is very nicely built and modded just right for roughly 2CF per sub. Most subs I look at need at least 1.4CF I believe. It's ported, and slanted back to make everything sound right for my types of music. I really like Alpine and Kicker because I have known their brands and like...

I don't want to spend over 400 on the setup though. I'd like to be running at 2 ohms with dual voice coils. Any suggestions? The Kickers look cheaper for the same quality, I've heard kicker and been satisfied. Just hard finding the 2 ohm ones, unless I can get a 1 ohm stable amp for a decent...

About a year ago I purchased an Alpine CDA-105 new for $170. I'm getting around to planning some more additions, two 12" subs, about 300 RMS each, dual coils on them. An amp for them, and possibly either two new 6.5" and an amp for them, or two 5x9 for the back seat, and an amp for them. My...

Probably 100-125 per sub. I have been thinking about some Kicker CVR or some Alpine Types R's. Any comments / suggestions with these two ideas? Or any better suggestions? Thanks.

I haven't looked at amps much yet. I'd like to start with some speaker ideas first. I'd like some nice bass, but also some SQL. I want the thumps to have tight endings. Any general suggestions for now before I start getting down to details?

About 4 months ago I purchased an Alpine CDA-105 Head Unit (I love it) Only one thing; I have an 8 gb jump drive I'm using for music, and the unit will ONLY read all of my songs if I have them in folders, with less than 100 per folder. I understand for the average person that is nice, but I...

I have an Alpine CDA-105. I need a remote control for it...I found 2 options on the site, one is 20 and one is 60. The $20.00 one says it only works on 2005-2007? I believe this may not be true too? The $60.00 one claims to work on ALL units...I'm NOT going to pay 60 bucks for a ****ed...

What would you guys consider better CTX65CS - Image Dynamics 100 RMS MM6501 - Polk Audio 125RMS Both Comps, both I'm willing to pay their price...I heard that a paper cone is better than all others...but I don't know if this is true.

Alright, so if I were to find comps that had more RMS...would you even recommend them since they technically have more power?
