[QUOTE="BarakObamaJr666, post: 6991013, member: 625776"] Ok, so I am still very fresh to the car audio scene. This will be my first build for my 2007 Nissan Sentra. I have done a little research through the forums and have settled on the things below. Here is what I have already purchased: JVC HDR20 head unit (I know its more on the basic side) AQ1200D Amp Here is what I plan to buy unless there are any objections: 2 X Sundown Audio SA-12's Amp installation Kit from Knuconceptz (Which one should i get tho?) Dash Installation Kit and Wiring Harness Sound Ordnance Bass Bunker Sealed Box with 1.260cubic feet per chamber Do you guys think this is a good setup? I'm shooting for mostly SQ but wouldn't mind a little THUMP. So I have a few questions. 1) The amp i want runs 510X1 @ 4 ohm, 870X1 @ 2 ohm, 1200X1 @ 1 ohm. The subs I want are rated at 600 watts RMS with the option of dual 4 ohm coils or dual 2 ohm coils. Which would be better? Wiring two 4 ohm subs for a 1 ohm load, or two 2 ohms subs at a 2 ohm load? 2) My battery is new and rated at 500 CCA, and my alternator at 110 amps. I do plan on doing the big three when i install all of this stuff. My question is do any of you think I will need to add a battery or upgrade my alternator? 3) What gauge size would you guys recommend to power my amp and subs? 4) Am I missing anything? Thanks much for helping a newbie out. [/QUOTE]
