Diamond Audio D312D4

12" Dual 4 Ohms Subwoofer???? IS THAT IT??

 

[drifterman33 10+ year member]

What amp install kit should i buy???? Is that Knu place any good??? I was thinking of buying all of my stuff from onlinecarstereo.com, HifiSoundConnection.com, and sonicelectronix.com ..... is there any good kits there because the 4 gauge ones iv been looking at... reviews say power wire is not 4 guage!!

 

[Ali1 10+ year member]

Knu is your best bet. Very good quality. Other brands equivalent would be stinger and kicker. Both make good wires, but are relatively expensiver than KNU. What's the power rating on that titan

Back to the wire and install kit, you can't go wrong with those three name brands i listed --- http://www.knukonceptz.com http://www.kicker.com http://stingerelectronics.com/

Hey someone just PMed me about Powerbass subs what do you guys think??

 

[Ali1 10+ year member]

the capacitor will not do anything, but waste your money. Like everyone already mentioned, ditch the cap and spend the money into a good wiring kit, maybe some front speakers.. It's up to you

 

[Ali1 10+ year member]

Although those subs fit your mounting depth, i never used them before. So no comment.

I have the lower line that they quit making and hardly no power to em.....but for what I got to em they sound ok

2 of these - http://www.millionbuy.com/kik05c124.html

powered by this - http://www.millionbuy.com/prfap1000m.html

with this wiring - http://www.millionbuy.com/kik05ck4.html

thats $249.80 shipped cause of free shipping over $200.

so that leaves you with $150.20 to get a box for em, the perfect setup for YOU

If I was you,, ( Im 15 too lol ) I would talk to the builders of that box and try to get the box built with 10" inch holes for Subs.
http://www.mach5audio.com/index-2.html

Purchase ( 2 ) of the 10" Mach 5 MAW's for $43.06 each. They only call for .5 cubes sealed, after displacement of the sub you will have about .60 for each sub which should be fine.

Make sure that the box has 5 1/2" of mounting depth....although the MAW 10 only has a mount depth of 5" it also has vented poles which needs .5 extra inches of mount depth so consider its mounting depth 5 1/2 //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif

For amp

http://www.onlinecarstereo.com/CarAudio/ProductDetail.aspx?ProductID=16338

Wire the 2 MAW's in parallel to give the subs a 1 ohm load. The amp will feed the subs 750 watts......Set the gains to around 500 watts which is the combined RMS for these subs.

Wiring

http://www.knukonceptz.com/productDetail.cfm?prodID=KOL-AK4

43 bucks and will only need an extra wire to run from HU to amp ( Remote wire ) isnt listed on site so I geuss it doesnt send it ? ( Havent worked with Knu )

Im at $316 WITHOUT shipping of subs and amp kit.......buy a set of components maybe?

//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif I started this at like 4:15 and got busy with homework and other things lol

Hope I was some help //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/naughty.gif.94359f346c0f1259df8038d60b41863e.gif

What I find quite astonishing is the contrast between these two 15 year olds on this thread.

I mean here^ you have one guy that "did his homework", apparently reasearched enough and has a well defined plan. What's funny is this guy mentioned actually doing real homework as well //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif I guess it's not the 15 year olds with "systems" that give car audio a bad name, it's just the ones that don't really think about it beyond "I need bass" lol.

On the other hand we have the other guy that seems to have nothing more than an ill-defined plan, pretty much jumping from one product to the next as each person recommends something different, not really knowing what they really want at all. Thinks factory speakers are fine and "just wants bass" apparently nullifying the need to do something like get a proper front stage. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/rolleyes.gif.c1fef805e9d1464d377451cd5bc18bfb.gif I dunno about you guys but I find this rather amusing.

Blove1991 is perhaps the guy that many local shops hate because he's thought everything through, knows what he's doing and is going to end up with something that is likely going to sound pretty darn good for the money he spends. The other guy is the type of person local shops love. Kid comes in and they just tell him whatever and he nods and listens. Tell him stuff like the brands they sell are the shiznit and other brands he mentions "****", etc. Then give him some way inflated price on lacklustre gear and he pays it and ends up with something that sounds pretty bad and pays tons of money for it with the guy at the shop laughing all the way to the bank.

I understand the OP is trying but I wonder if he's really trying hard enough. He doesn't sound like the guy that's actually doing real homework, nevermind the apparent lack of homework on a "system" he's trying to build.

It's fine to ask questions and listen to what people have to say and try to gain some knowledge on the subject; but it's another thing to ask questions and refuse to listen to the answers if they aren't what you want to hear. What's funny is just reading back through the thread it seems someone (XsabesX) already said the same thing...

That said, I do hope that he ends up with decent gear that sounds good and he's happy with.

Don't worry no offence taken as this is completely expected from a 15 year old like yourself. A 15 year old like the other guy on the other hand, well I'm sure he's much more of a person than you and wouldn't result to profanity, insults and the like.

It's funny how your reply strenthened my point that it isn't an issue of "just kids" and the related stereotypes. In fact people like you are the ones responsible for creating the negative stereotypes about teenagers which unfortunately get carried over to the more responsible ones that have some sense about them.

To the rest of the guys on the thread that have the patience to deal with this kid, just take a look at who you're helping. His own post above should show you guys it's a complete waste of time dealing with this guy.
