Need Advice!

[DjTubzy]

Hi everyone I'm completely new to this but I'm going to need alot of opinions as this is gonna be my first setup and ive been browsing thorough alot of products and this is what I've gotten so far so I need to know if everything fits together and feel free to flame if i say something retarded cause you can only learn from your mistakes lol

so anyways

My car is a Black 2001 4 door Toyota Rav 4

(Front and rear) I will be using the Rockford Fosgates T162S

and to power those ill be using the RF T600-4

(Headunit) Looking at a double Din screen so leaning towards the Sony XAV-W1

(Sub) I'm going to go with the RF T1500-1BD amp and I'm still deciding on what subs to get, toss up between the T2 or W7 can someone tell me the difference between the 12inch range to the 15inch range in your opinion cause I'm still tossing up here and do you guys reckon that this amp can push out on 2 12 T2 or W7

(Wiring + Capacitator)

This is where I'm stuck and I don't know what I need so please advice

Thanks

Well budget for the sub anything under $700 I guess but i still don't know what wires i need

spl is SOUND PRESSURE LEAGUE. you need a power wire around 4ga or bigger.you also need a ground wire 4ga or bigger,and make sure on the power wire it is long enough to go from your battery to your amp. you will need rca line that will go from back of cd player to amp. then a remote wire from the cd player to the amp and then speaker wire to go from speaker to amp

LOL hmm still deciding if i want sq or spl and when i purchase the subs do i want 2ohm or 4ohm and do you guys reckons the 1500-1BD can push out 2 T212's at there potential and also about the alternator what size am i lookin to upgrade to

Rockford or W7's might be kind of expensive for what you get.

You might want to look at Fi car audio's Q (for SQ) or Resonant Engineering SX (more of an SPL sub), or Image dynamics subs. Lot of stuff out there, these are less mainstream but much nicer quality.

if you get a couple of 12" fi BL you should be ok do you have the amp already if so then 1 15" FI BL s the amp you described wont have the power for the 2 of them i think i dont know the amp bt by the name i am asuming its a 1500w mono and you will need ALL of it to run the FI BL 15" as it is a SQL sub which leans to the spl side a bit but it wll be fantastic as for wireing theres other xperts here tohelp on that or you could go with a kicker premade kit to suit say 3000-5000w they have them all over at stores who stock kicker its sometimes easier to do this and cheaper than to buy the wireing seperatly

I was just looking to have a all Rockford Fosgate Setup so that everything would be easier to put together because they are made for one another
