my first setup

[snfsh79077 10+ year member]

not sure about HU either but the type Rs will run close to 400 with an amp. Unless he went with one 12 and amp for like 300. He should search the classifieds for a single 12 or two tens. I personly think a 15 wont be worth the effort.

Well new.. 135$ for the R (12") and that gives you 260$ or an amp.. He could get the kicker 1000w amp.

he could get an amp though for less than 260 either used in the classifieds or a hifonics

There are plenty of good subs in the $100-150 range. My advice is do it right the first time, and you wont have to keep adding money on (unless you become addicted to caraudio)

My recommendation:

1 10" or 12" Alpine Type R (Dual 2ohm)- $130

-As for a box, look into buying a decent MDF box. I know there are sellers on ebay who sell some decent MDF boxes for pretty cheap (around 50)

Wire the sub to 4 ohms... set ur gains right, and it should power that Type R quite nicely. No cap is needed, but running a Big 3 (look at the sticky) wouldnt hurt, so buy some extra 4 guage wire and a few terminals and screws. This should put you around your $400 mark. Of course there other options but this is my quick suggestion

I'm totally with CJ on this one.. Great setup at a great price.. Could even probably go with 2 CVR 10s (dual 4) and keep everything else the same

mmkay. well, i think im gonna go with two 12" type Rs. i mean, youre right, a fifteen would be a *****hh to fit in the back of the camaro. and my camaro isnt a t-top...its just going in the little ass trunk space

haha, the guys at one of the car audio shops around here (mobile millenia) told me theyd build me a custom box, gimme 2 12" memphis subs and a RMS 500w memphis amp, wiring, the whole deal for like $700...and thats givin me a deal. haha, i was like "**** off". i mean, im not sayin they were tryin to rip me off, but that store was a bit expensive.

im just gonna get a seperate battery for my system.

and the guys at mobile millenia said that it dont matter what i put in my car, its gonna hit hard as hell anyways, since camaros have those big ass hatchbacks.

they also said that it wouldnt rattle at all since the whole back comes up when i pop the trunk (not just the glass, but the spoiler n everything).

im looking at a kenwood 1000w amp right now.

could someone direct me to a (low priced) alpine type R 12" plz....i dnt know of many sites that sell subs for cheap prices.

again guys, im rly sry im a newb at all this...and thx sooooo much for helping me out with all this stuff. rly 'preciate it!!!

 

[snfsh79077 10+ year member]

ebay for the type Rs and search the classifieds for an amp. Then get someone on here to build you a box.

 

[Kold_Killa 10+ year member]

NO! You want to look at RMS ratings... not MAX...

 

[snfsh79077 10+ year member]

? where was max ratings given?

nvm I figured it out...yea what he said ^^

HEY woah woah woah..

Don't b to quick on getting two 12"s!!!..

A lot of people, buy two 12's but don;t have enough room! You will want a minimum of 2 cubic feet each, and you want it ported..

So you need quite a bit of space.. And you're saying a 15" would be a ***** to fit.. 2 12"s will be impossible.. One 12" in a 2.5 cubic foot box tuned to 32hz will be better than two in a 3 cubic foot box.

Also.. 2000w is a lot of power..

 

[snfsh79077 10+ year member]

the 15 would only be hard to fit because the subs will be facing up and the compartment the box will be in wont fit a 15 in it.

 

[snfsh79077 10+ year member]

I do agree, even though I believe 4 cuft can be obtained, go with two ten type Rs. You will be happy with that.

MAW-12 $96

AP1000M $100

KOL-AK4 $43

Find or make a 1.0 - 1.2 cf sealed box for the sub.

There's your $250-300 put to good use. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

2 types r's off a kicker zx1000 would do very well

 

[Dlux 10+ year member]

okay. well, at the moment im thinking about what Deja wiz recommended. one-12" sub n that amp. only thing is, is mach5 audio (particularly the maw-12) worth a sh*t? is the profile amp worth a crap either???
