"Getting back into it"

[swede346 10+ year member]

I need opinions, let me clarify honest and usable ones i am putting a starter system in a GMC sierra extended cab pickup. My plan is this. I am going to start with a CDA-9833 alpine head unit which will run the stock speaker locations front and rear and the sub out to fead a P6001 rockford running 2 12" p2's. the enclosure will be under the seat in the extended cab. this might be big on the bottom but remember its a starter system will be building off this into future. ok opinions good bad or other. I am open to change my budget is about 1200 installed not by me. I have a good shop near me that i can work with.

I kind of need some general guidence. I have been out of the stereo thing for about 6 years.

sounds like a pretty complete plan, what do you want to know?

 

[ksin291 10+ year member]

have you heard the P2's? What are the subs and amp going to run you?

 

[swede346 10+ year member]

105 per sub and 325 for amp. no i haven't heard them yet.

I would suggest trying to give the subs you are buying a listen before picking them up. I do believe that the p2's are RF's lower line of subs and are not really know for their SQ. I've heard them in a local shop and I was not impressed. Have you given any thought to using one good 12" instead of two so so 12's?

 

[swede346 10+ year member]

yes, i am worried that i won't be able to have the enclosure to make one good 12 work correctly.

 

[swede346 10+ year member]

the enclosure has to be able to fit under the seat in the ext-cab part cause I need to use the seat for car seat and such

get a Ed kv.2 they take small inclosures and are about the same price

Yeah, you would definately want to consider a smaller sub or a 12 which works well in a small sealer enclosure. How much room do you have to work with under the seat?

i say get a couple type-r 10's these would do more good than the P2'sand if u could budge enough room i'd say get a couple RL-I 10's from sound splinter. amp would need a little bit bigger but deals get thrown around here everyday. id say do a little more shopping before settling on a rockford setup. they are a good company and ive heard the p2 12's personally (and did a 135 on new TL) but i say pass on them and get more money or do it piece by piece and let him install once u have everything.

How do you guys feel about the higher end RF or alpine? Like T1122D RF or SWR-1222D. was planning on running them at 2ohms. This brings up another question which dual 4's or dual 2's voice coils?
