As for the amp im not sure.... How much are you willing to spend?

 

[Pdrollinger130 10+ year member]

haha... its cool.. im just lookin for any ideas of what to get

 

[Pdrollinger130 10+ year member]

idk about the amp... maybe 150-200... it doesnt need to be anything fancy

 

[Jeepjones85 10+ year member]

why not for that price u can get a good amp like Hifonics

This is a good place to buy stuff from

Real good amp for the price

ok... ill look into that... would it sound better with 2 subs or just 1... the reason im interested is because im planning to build a sub box in my shop class and i need to find out which sub im gonna get so i can build the box around it

 

[Jeepjones85 10+ year member]

Just look at the space u have to fit the box in Cubic ft wise and as far as the sub goes

if you get that amp, It will run 600watts rms at 1ohm so you can run 1 or 2 of whatever

size sub you chose. If you run 1 sub make sure the voice coil is a dual 2ohm so that you can get the most out of that amp at 1ohm..If you buy 2 subs make sure there dual 4ohm's each so

u can wire them down to 1ohm also. If that didnt make any since here is a subwoofer wiring

calculator

This is for 1 dual 2ohm sub wired at 1ohm

This is for 2 dual 4ohm sub's wired at 1ohm

I personally dont like double din cd players unless they have a built in dvd player

and i dont thank u can find one for that price I would go with a pioneer HU like this
