Is this a good setup? Alpine + Sony + MTX

[shawn76 10+ year member]

Is this a good setup and will I be able to connect these subs to the amp bridged running at 2 ohm's? I've already purchased these items and hope to receive them in the next week or so. The system is going in a mid sized 4 door car. Hope I didn't screw up! Speakers will run off deck amp I guess. They are stock crap anyways. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/rolleyes.gif.c1fef805e9d1464d377451cd5bc18bfb.gif

Appreciate any feedback if possible. The reason I am asking is if there's something I should definitely "NOT" get, I can return the product if need be after it arrives.

Guess there's a problem with that since you feel the urge to laugh? Please enlighten me! //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/tongue.gif.6130eb82179565f6db8d26d6001dcd24.gif

Great... what's the reason(s)?

Great... what's the reason(s)?

you can't bridge the amp with those subs. you need dual 4 ohm drivers.

with single 4 ohm, you'll only get the "rated" 202 watts x 2 @ 4 ohm per channel.

If you bridge it, thus seeing a two ohm mono load, it'll fry.

and its a little late to ask, since its on its way

I can return it from where I bought them. Return shipping paid by supplier so not too worried.

Thanks for the reply. So should I send back the subs (and look for dual 4 ohm ones), then keep the amp and deck?

 

[lincolntc690 10+ year member]

keep the deck, return the amp and subs unopened, and do a little research. the classifieds are great on ca.com

Thanks for the reply. This is a nightmare haha! //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif

To save yourself some time next time ask before you buy. That way you won't have to wait while your stuff is being returned and then new stuff is being shipped to you. Also I suggest searching the classifieds on here you can find some great stuff.

Ouch. Sorry mang. Bad selection on the amp, box and subs.

PM me a budget and I'll gladly work out a killer system for you.

Hey guys... "if" i keep this amp, is this a good dual 4ohm sub?

http://www.crutchfieldcanada.com/Kicker_Comp_VR_07CVR84_8_Dual_4_Ohm_Voice_Coil_Co_p/2067c8vr4.htm or http://www.crutchfieldcanada.com/Alpine_Type_S_SWS_1043D_10_DVC_4_ohm_Component_Su_p/500sws1043.htm

If not, any you recommend under $200 pc that will suit this amp?

Thanks...

I saw yesterday that Ikesound is offering RE SE 12's for $99 each. If that's legit, a pair of those would make a great budget system. I have heard some complaints about ikesound though. *shrug*
