New sub

[Lucid15 10+ year member]

OK well im looking for some more bass in my car. heres my current setup

1.Older 760W Pioneer Amplifier powering my 1000W Pioneer W306c i believe or something like that lol.

2. And an Orion 3002 powering my 3-way Infinity Kappa Speakers.

I came across this deal http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_9348_--+BUY+ONE%2C+GET+ONE+FREE-+--+Kicker+07CVR122.html not sure if those are subs are good but i was looking to put 2 subs into my car and sell my old one. Would i see a noticeable difference with those 2 subs and current amps? If not, would i need to purchase a new amp to power those, and which one should i choose? What about an enclosure whats good? If there are better 2 subs for the price let me know also lol. Please Help

they are good subs no doubt. they will blow your current set up to hell. i had that amp and even bridged, it doesnt have the balls for those subs. i would go with a kicker 750.1 or a 1000.1 (monoblocks) to get good sound from them. any vented/ported box for dual 12's should be good. just make sure it is big enough and isnt screwed up or loose or anything.

cvr's sound good in sealed boxes as well. but if possible, go with the ported box.

edit: i thought the sale was over...

yea plenty, i had a power acoustik ps2 1800 on them and they got loud

So with that amp, it would be way better than my Orion 3002? or 760W Pioneer? With that amp i would get alot out of those two kickers?

Would i need an aftermarket battery or capacitor? or sohuld i be good?

 

[CRAZYCORNUTS18 10+ year member]

you will be fine ..no need for another battery, (and you never need a cap) and you talking my subs your you looking for an amp for those kicker....?

 

[Lucid15 10+ year member]

talking about amp for the kickers

 

[CRAZYCORNUTS18 10+ year member]

i have the same subs and i am running a 1200w sony xplode to them. i know sony isn't teh best brand, but hey.. for $35.00 shipped on ebay, i couldn't pass that up.

Hows this? http://sonicelectronix.com/item_6678_Boss+BL1400.html

Also, i have a 4gauge power wire coming from the battery to a distribution block and 8gauge wires going to each amp. Would i need heavier duty wiring if i got that amp and subs?

 

[CRAZYCORNUTS18 10+ year member]

i would run 4guage for everything

Even for the speaker amplifier? Also, what connectors do i use to crimp onto the end of the wire for the amplifier? Ground and power and such? i cant find a ring or spade terminal with a big enough opening, or do i even need connectors? Are there any cheap 4Gauge Wiring Kits on the net?
