I have the RAA1000 bought from Crutchfield. Do you think its too much for 2 IDQ12's? Ill be running them at 1ohm. I think rms on them is 350 with peak of 700. Thanks

Memphis PR-104's. I have 2 in my x-cab chevy pickup. 5" mounting depth. You have 5" and the sub is 5" so its going to be close.

I have the DSD-216 in my truck bought around 3 years back for $145 on Ebay. Very happy with them powered by my JBL 180.2. I have 2 Memphis PR10 subs too. Installer used the middle crossover setting and theyre still a bit bright, so I have to tone down the highs on my Alpine head unit -2 to -4...

My 2 10" subs werent loud enough with my alpine head unit (7923 model) either. Theyre in a sealed downfiring box in my x-cab pickup. I was going to install a line driver to boost voltage, but finally another installer asked what volume are you listening on that alpine? I said 16 at the most. He...

Jl audio has a manual you can download for their amps and explains the sub wiring set-up. Go to Jlaudio.com and pick say the 500/1. The download is at the bottom. It has 2 sub outputs ++-- like our Memphis amps. You can hook up each sub to any of the +- terminals and they are bridged internally...

I have an MC-500D, the newer version I believe although I havent hooked it up. The two sub connections are just to make it easy to wire 2 subs. Theyre wired in paralled internally. Ill be hooking up 2 4-ohm subs which will give the amp a 2-ohm load, therefore 500 watts. You could hook up only 1...

I have a US Acoustics I bought from Crutchfield for $49.95. Its Model USP-200 and its red in color. Crutchfield doesnt carry them anymore, but http://www.thezeb.com does same price. Its 65x2 160x1, but no crossover, so your headunit has to have the x-over. Im using it to power a Polk 12" sub. My...

I put 5x7 Eclipse speakers in my daughters 2000 Focus running off an aftermarket Pioneer deck. They are the lower SE line and are very efficient. They sound good with the stock rear speakers which seem to have a good amount of bass for factory speakers and are not too low in the doors. I believe...

Found a new Polk EX-12 on Ebay (probably hard to find now), paid $35 plus shipping. Amp is new US Acoustics $49.00 160 watt bridged bought from Crutchfield, no crossover, but sub crossover on my indash EQ. Sealed box from Ebay around $15-$20 plus shipping. Sounds great for the price.

Send the front channel output from the HU to the EQ. Then you can fade using the HU if you dont have a rear channel amp or from the EQ if you have a rear amp. I run the rear speakers from the HU and I have a front component amp and sub amp. The EQ is probably looking for a full range signal...
