New member Username: HddvdPost Number: 1 Registered: Nov-07 | I am setting up my first car audio system. I am stuck in the middle of choosing these 2 subs. I will be getting 2 of which ever one i choose. I am just looking for something with good SQ and also loud. If someone can recommend which one to choose or even another brand within the same price range that would be great. Thanks for any help. Here is a link to the subs: http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_6852_Polk+Audio+db124DVC.html http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_6854_Polk+Audio+MOMO+MM2124DVC.html |

Silver Member Username: Kyle_lowePost Number: 627 Registered: Apr-06 | dont count out those db's a long while back my friend didnt want them anymore so i gladly took them off of his hands they were in that prefab box that polk makes well that box was really freaking big so i made a sealed box for them and ran them at 2 ohm an a8000t and they had surprisingly good sq. they far exceded what i expected them to do. 134.3 on the dash on a tl. thats my story there is a thread somewhere with all of the pics i posted...but it is archived |
Gold Member Username: 420alldaylongPost Number: 2869 Registered: Sep-06 | My bad the link didn't work but the amp is a Rockford Fosgate P1000-1bd $599.99 at best buy. ravindra maathura If that is the price your paying PLEASE DON'T there is much better for less. |
New member Username: HddvdPost Number: 5 Registered: Nov-07 | dont worry. I work at best buy. I get over half off the price for that amp. |
Gold Member Username: 420alldaylongPost Number: 2870 Registered: Sep-06 | $300 is still to much for a Rockford P1000-1bd. If you get discount prices go with a Alpine Type R 12" dual 2ohm and this amp below. Free shipping on this amp and way underated. http://www.onlinecarstereo.com/CarAudio/ProductDetail.aspx?ProductID=18424 |

IF you wire them both together you can either get a 1ohm or 4ohm final independence load. Each sub is rated for 400rms so you need 800rms or so. that amp isnt 1ohm stable and only does 250rms at 4ohms. Say you get that amp for 1/2 price thats still 300. You could get any of these amps: http://www.woofersetc.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=product.display&Product_ID=4675&C FID=6661080&CFTOKEN=e46b7ee087c6f00f-1C30FE91-1422-7C6E-501CE39C42C0223C http://www.woofersetc.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=product.display&Product_ID=4210&C FID=6661080&CFTOKEN=e46b7ee087c6f00f-1C30FE91-1422-7C6E-501CE39C42C0223C http://www.woofersetc.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=product.display&Product_ID=373&CF ID=6661080&CFTOKEN=e46b7ee087c6f00f-1C30FE91-1422-7C6E-501CE39C42C0223C |
