My Proposed Sub Setup

[tr0gd0r]

Here is my proposed sub setup. Let me know what you think and if I should make any changes.

I have a 2003 Subaru Impreza, stock. No electrical upgrades.

Headunit - Alpine CDE-121 Already installed

Ordering:

Amplifier - RF Punch 300-1 (150 RMS at 4ohm | 300 RMS at 2ohm)

Subwoofer - RF Punch P2D4-10 Subwoofer 300W RMS

Box - Atrend BBox 10" Sealed box. 0.88 cubic foot.

Wiring kit - RF 4 gauge wiring kit

I will wire the sub to 2ohm and be powering it with 300W RMS. I hear that the RF amps are often underrated so I am expecting the P300-1 to be putting out around 400W according to reviews on Amazon.

Does anyone see anything I should change with this setup?

I don't want bass that can be heard around the block, just want to add some lows to my current stock speakers. I dont want to use up a ton of trunk space, thats why I chose a sealed 10" box. I mostly listen to pop and rock music.

I plan on placing the order tomorrow so give me any suggestions soon. My budget is about 400 for parts.

Aren't you supposed to be out burninating the countryside? Dragons don't need car audio...

Need to listen to my beats while burninating!

With $400 I would do something like this:

Clarion XR2120 570W RMS, XR Series Monoblock Power Amplifier

I have owned an older version of that amp and it worked great, did rated power and I never had any problems with it, its currently in a friends car now

4 gauge amplifier installation kit

DCON-10 D4

That leaves you with around $130 left over for the box.

Now for the box, use that leftover $ and have a custom made ported box made. It won't take up much more room and will sound much much better than a sealed box.
