71 Bug - Sealed Enclosure

[Savackz]

Buddy of mine has a 1971 bug and wants a single 12 sealed. He doesn't have much money to play around with, maybe like 350. That includes amp and pair of speakers, sub and wiring kit. I was tihnking that I could get a 5 channel amplifier, like a pp 200.5. Someone mentioned a dayton audio subwoofer that is 350rms and around 110 dollars, but I cant find it. ANyone else have suggestions for subs and / or speakers/amp?

Ct sounds tropo 12 works in a sealed enclosure along with sundown E series. Both are under 120 after taxes

I got a jl w0 12v1 too its 125 rms, though.

Its a bug all you need is a front stage.

Get a ppi 900.4 and run channels 1&2 for a component set

And 3&4 bridges for a sub. Thats probably as cheap as its going to get and youll still need To up your budget for the comp set and wore kit.

900.4=$210

sundown ev2 12D2=$120

Kunkoncepts 4gauge cca Amp kits=$35

$365 still need to buy a comp set

honestly you could get away with pretty much any entry level 12" sub. no need to spend that much for a sundown or nothing. For 350 you can get him some decent bump in that older car

Yawn to easy. and still under budget. Guarantee he will be surprised by this setup

Because I can get the wiring for cheap if I do it myself, because the battery and amplifier are both in the back. And I was thinking like a ppi 2200.5 so I could use two spekaer at 4 ohm for 90w a piece and then the fifth port for the sub with 380 watts at 4 ohms with this sub

Dayton Audio DVC310-88 12" DVC Series Subwoofer Don't know exact budget so that budget was just a guess.

you don't need a 5 channel though all you need is a 4 channel with a bridgeable pair. the ppi 900.4 does 450@4 bridged and 145@4ohms per channel its a tiny powerhouse amp. definitely bang for buck

I might just do a custom kit on like knukoncepts since he only needs like 6 feet of power wire and I already have some things. What would be a nice set of comps for him? And what sub also? I was thinking Dayton since its a home theater sub but I don't know many subs that prefer sealed except them and TC sounds.

MB Quart RA640.4 Reference Series 640W 4-Channel Amplifier How would this do? Just as well but less power?

Also, he wants to put the speakers inside of a suitcase where the speakers are facing up and all of that, will that work? Instead of the doors.

I can send you 6ft of wire just pay shipping bud.

So are you looking for just coaxial speakers for the suite case?

 

[Savackz]

I am not sure. This is for a friend so. I think coaxials should work to be honest. Or maybe some pro audios. Also thought about doing a center console.
