[dkitt10 10+ year member]

I might be getting two 12's for free

well I might be able to get them...if i'm good

but they are Coustic 12RD

heres a couple links on them...so are these fine for a first setup?

need acrobat reader for this one - http://coustic.com/classic/PDFs/12RD.PDF

this one is a review - http://www.carsound.com/reviews/subs/12rd.html

I was thinking bout wiring them in 1 ohm and get a 1000 watt 1 ohm amp

I don't know much but car audio but sound good?

I'd say go with something that produces 300-500 RMS @ 4 ohms ...

sry again I dont know much but for an amp?

and no I wont steal em...my dad owns a car audio/electronics store and they have been sitting not on display or anything for over a year because we dont have room to put them out...//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

I can get all my car audio stuff at cost...//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

I cant afford to pay lots for my first setup..im jsut looking for somethign that will have me set for a year or so...plus these are free

 

[dkitt10 10+ year member]

im not sure all brands he can get but mtx, pioneer, jvc are a couple I know of hand

 

[dkitt10 10+ year member]

well this isnt a big store...we live in a town of 5000 so we dont stock lots because no one buys we have subs sitting there for like 2 years now...so he jsut orders in but I can get the stuff in at cost....

should I wire my subs at 1 ohm or 4 ohm?

 

[dkitt10 10+ year member]

alright 4 ohm it is....so should I go for 1000 watt since my max is 500 on each sub?

and any specific amp for my needs...ty

hifonics bx1000 can be had for cheap on ebay

isnt that close to a bidget 1000 @ 1 ohm amp??????

 

[Bryce M 10+ year member]

What about Hifonics 1000dBx seems like it would be perfect and it runs fine @ 1 ohm and you can get one for about 200 bucks brand new off ebay. but if you are strictly staying with your dad's shop talk to him and get him to set you up with the best bang for the buck he carrys

ok well now u guys are talking 1 ohm lets make a little list of pros/cons

heres what i know

1 ohm

PRO less resictance

CON less stable

 

[dkitt10 10+ year member]

so should I go 4 ohm because cheapness of amp? (well cheaper then stable 1 ohm)

 

[dkitt10 10+ year member]

my dad can get jbl //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

but any who...what are the advantages of 1 ohm over 4 ohm

 

[dkitt10 10+ year member]

and 300 @ 4 ohms

buit dont I need at least 500 watts to meet the RMS of my two subs?

 

[dkitt10 10+ year member]

well I knew that giving the sub less power isnt bad and giving it more is but wont I get more loudness //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif by giving my subs there RMS compared to a lower then there RMS?

thx for the help
