New member Username: LoneaPost Number: 1 Registered: Aug-04 | I'm a newb at car audio scene so I don't know whats good and whats not. And any slangs I probably wont understand... I currently have these subs 2 x Xtant 12` Dual 4ohm 250 RMS Subs (A1244A) They're in a closed box. I plan on putting this into a 95 civic 4 dr. My price range is around 100-200, maybe around 220 max... 1 question about amps i got is that what is the difference between mono, dual channel, x channels? And bridged vs unbridged Also I was wondering if a good deck makes a big difference ? or they only apply to speakers? Any good decks you can recommand? And lastly, whats the difference if I hook the speakers up to my amp compare to not hooking it up to the amp. thanks |

Most recievers say that they push out 50x4, however if you read their manuals, they are 22 Watts RMS. Panasonic has a deck that puts out 60 true watts RMS, but that is the only one that I have seen. If you want your subwoofers to "bump", your going to need an amplifier. Your subwoofers are Dual Voice Coil, so you are going to need an amplifier that is 1 ohm stable depending on your wiring. When you wire subwoofers together, you change the impedance. 2 subwoofers at 4 Ohm wired in paralell will create a 2 Ohm circuit, whereas the same 2 4Ohm subwoofers wired in series, will create an 8 ohm circuit. Your best bet is going to wire your subwoofers in paralell to create a 2 Ohm circuit for both subwoofers. Then you are going to need to find a 1 ohm stable amplifier that is 500 watts RMS @2 channels, and there you go. You don't have to listen to me, however, since there are other ways to wire your subwoofers and your amps. Just keep researching, and I hope I didn't confuse you too much. Good luck, and welcome to the car audio scene. |
