I think i get it this time... how about this system?

[xenobreak 10+ year member]

I made a noob topic a long while ago about a beginner system but never actually got anything. I had no idea what i was talking about and did not have the money at the time.

I have learned a bit since then but I'm still a big noob to car audio. I'm thinking about this setup here and wanted some opinions. I'm pretty sure they are compatible products but that's why I'm making this topic lol, just to make sure.

Subs: two Kicker CompVR 07CVR122 12-Inch 2-Ohm DVC

Amp: Phoenix Gold Ryval V8001 1600-Watt Monoblock

Total comes out to $284.86 shipped

Seems pretty good to me but if i can get better for cheaper please let me know

decent price for a beginner setup...but as always, you could buy used and get it for cheaper

I know used is always cheaper but I'm one of those people who has "issues" with used things. It just bothers me that someone else has had it before me >.

Eh, you could definitely do better on the amp...

Any links? I don't want to go any more expensive though really.. as my budget was originally $250

 

[bubbagumper6 5,000+ posts]

250 for subs and an amp really limit you man...you'd probably be better off just getting one sub. You could get a 12" Type R and a decent (used) 500 watt monoblock for under 250.

EDIT: For an actual example, I got a brand new Type R for $150 (i think...it's been awhile) and a 500 watt Memphis amp for $100, built my own box (probably another 30-40 in materials) and it sounds pretty **** nice

What exactly is wrong with the amp i posted anyways? It does have just the right wattage for those subs... are you sure you just don't hate the brand?

If your not going to listen to any of the advice on here, why did you post to begin with?

We're telling you, you'd be much better off just ******* it up and buying used!

 

[xenobreak 10+ year member]

I'm just asking you to explain what wrong with what i posted instead of just saying "Eh, you could definitely do better on the amp..." because that tells me nothing. As far as i know based on the numbers they will work together. I'm not trying to act mean btw, i just like explanations (its how i learn more) D:

Phoenix just isn't that great of a brand, and the ratings they put on that amp were the "max" ratings, which is pretty much code for "this amp will never hit these numbers"

I was using the specs from this site http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_9795_Phoenix+Gold+Ryval+V8001.html

The spec sheet on amazon did not tell much about it at all
