Please help!

[Cages2Clouds]

Hello so I've been doing my research for my first audio system and have gotten really confused about the wattage and ohms and what's needed as far as my amp for the res of the system etc. Here's my list please advise as you see fit my goal is good clear sound and strong bass when I want it but not ridiculously strong bass.

New Rockville RXA-F1 1600 Watt Peak/800w RMS 4 Channel Amplifier Car Stereo Amp - Rockville Audio

Or this, heard bad things about BOSS but if it's good the black amp and red LED's would be perfect.

Boss PD5000 5000W Monoblock Phantom Series Class D Amplifier

2x Audiopipe TXX-APA-12RD (txxapa12rd) 800W 12" TXX Series Dual 4

PUNCH Speakers P165-SI - 6.5" 2-Way Euro Fit Compatible System Internal Xover | Rockford Fosgate®

6.5in Component Speakers

Instead of that boss.. I'd go this route for the same price: Hifonics BRX1516.1D (brx15161d) 1500W Monoblock Brutus Series or better yet.. This: * NEW * CAB-1600.1 Amplifier - Car Audio Bargain

 

[djr4x4]

Instead of those subs you picked.. Here's another alternative for you:: * NEW * Sundown Audio Ev2 12 Subwoofer E12v2 500W E Series - Car Audio Bargain

or these:: SSA Store - SoundQubed HDS212 12 INCH SUBWOOFER (HDS212)

if your on the cheep,

look into the soundqbed subs and amps.

they have good stuff.

dont buy them subs, or boss amps.

also you need to let us now how much money are you willing to spend.

that way we can make recommendations .

That CAB amp will be perfect! So is there an easy way you could explain the specs of the Audiopipe subs I have above and the equation needed to determine if the amp will work with it?

At 500RMS wouldn't that be greatly weaker?

Thx, totally forgot about that. I'm looking to spend about $1,000-1,500, honestly the main reason I picked those subs is cuz I saw they have 800RMS and are red which is a big deal, black and red is my Mustangs color scheme. I was thinking about painting a pair of subs if I couldn't find a reasonably powerful/affordable pair.

Also I found these JL Audio C2-650 would they be better then the Infiniti 6.5's?

That's a good budget...

and you're looking at TERRIBLE quality gear.

Check out Genesis dust caps, they can be added to any subwoofer..

Genesis Custom Audio Red 6.5" CF Dust Cap

visit the soundsolutionsaudio.com website as recommended. The brands that are carried their are some of the best in car audio. I'd stick to those brands.

and dont paint the cones. it will change the way it sounds.

a good 400rms sub will sound better then a 600rms crappy sub.

also im sure that sub you listed will not take that power... you will see smoke.

ssa has some nice gear.

with that kind of cash, stick to the better brands. you will pay more but you get what you pay for...

Yeah, I have no idea what I'm doing. lol hopefully I can change that and I vastly appreciate all the help from you guys. Also $1,500 is my max, I'd like to stay as close to $1,000 as possible.

Btw, is this an acceptable head unit AVH-X5600BHS - 2-DIN Multimedia DVD Receiver with 7" WVGA Touchscreen Display, MIXTRAX, Bluetooth®, HD Radio™ Tuner, SiriusXM Ready, and AppRadio Mode for iPhone® | Pioneer Electronics USA

50/50 or 60 bass/ 40 quality, I'd like good quality sound but once I turn up the bass it hits. Doesn't have to be the loudest flippin thing out there or the clearest.

Also if it helps, this won't be in the trunk or in a box, I'm removing my rear seat and fabricating a rear seat delete kit to support the sound system. What kind of additional battery or battery capacitor should I look at?

What will the subs be in? If I understand you correctly this will be a fabricated seat for the subs? Have you figured out how much cu.ft you have to play with for the subs?? This plays a role too

This is what I'll be making except I'll probably use 5/8 MDF instead of 1/2. I could squeeze 2x 15's in there if I wanted to but I want quality sound as well as loud bass

If I went with the HDS212 should I go for the 2ohm or 4ohm?

Also if I instead went with 2x of this http://store.soundsolutionsaudio.com/products/sound-qubed-hds312-12-inch-subwoofer.html

would bar be way too much power?
