New to forum, Need advice

[vnyborg]

Whats up everyone, great forum with a lot of information. Ive been doing some reading trying to decide what i should get for my setup. Every car i've had I installed my system, but to be honest when it comes to all the technical stuff I'm lost.

I have an 06 accord that ill be keeping everything stock inside, as far as the head unit and speakers.

Will be using a line out converter(I ordered AudioControl LC2I) and 4 gauge wiring kit.

Now I need help on two things. I decided to go with an 8 inch sub because i don't want to take up too much space in my trunk. Having a hard time deciding which to go with, here is what I'm looking at.

Infinity Reference 860w

Alpine Type R

JBL GTO

Kicker C84

I was considering Sundown SA8, TC Sound Epic 8, and Image dynamics. But I don't think I want to spend was these are going for. I'm still on the fence though.

The second question is I have an older amp that a friend gave me, I tried looking up info on it. But I came up with nothing. Will this amp be a good choice to run? Will it be worth keeping? If not, what you would guys recommend?

I have an SA8v2 for sale, $150 shipped. I'm not sure what the specs of your amp are.

What's the budget for your system?

Check out the hds208. The type r would be good too. Just go with a custom enclosure whatever you pick man. Do not get a prefab.

Here is the specs on the amp:

2-Channel, 1400W Peak Power Amplifier

24Db / OCT. Crossover Shape

Variable Subsonic Filter (10Hz - 100Hz)

Variable Low Pass Filter (30Hz - 500Hz)

Variable High Pass Filter (50Hz - 1kHz)

Variable 18Db Bass Boost

Tri-Speaker Hookup

High & Low Level Input Through RCA

Dual Protection (Thermal & Circuit)

Double Sided PCB

2 Ohm Stable (Stereo)

Soft Delayed Power On

Power & Diagnostic LED Indi

As far as a budget. Since I already have everything else. If that amp is good enough, I can spend a little more on the sub. I say no more than $200 for a sub.

I could sell you my Sundown.. Its a D2, so you could run each coil off a channel. It would be perfect!
