Bronze Member Username: DavidnolenLexington, South Carolina USA Post Number: 17 Registered: May-05 | What's a better buy; 12 inch Kicker CVR12, 12 inch Alpine SWE-1242, or the Rockford 12 inch Punch P212S4. I'm going to look at some tomorrow. Give me some ideas please. |

Bronze Member Username: DavidnolenLexington, South Carolina USA Post Number: 18 Registered: May-05 | Well I have a Pioneer 800 Watt mono block amplifier. Would that amp be strong enough to push the R's? |

Bronze Member Username: Young_jamesCanada Post Number: 32 Registered: Sep-05 | is that 800 watts RMS, or 800 watts PEAK? Also, what are the RMS ratings at 4 ohms, 2 ohms, etc. |

Bronze Member Username: Young_jamesCanada Post Number: 34 Registered: Sep-05 | sorry, double post. THe amp isn't putting out that much RMS so your choices are limited. basically, just go listen to some that are in your RMS range. I suggest getting 1 DVC sub so you can get the most out of the amp. Just look for something around 300-360 RMS, DO NOT get a sub any higher than that. Wouldn't recommend going to much lower with a DVC either because you don't want to feed the sub too much power either. Good Luck!!! |

Gold Member Username: SouthernrebelMonroe, Louisiana USA Post Number: 1171 Registered: Mar-04 | a dvc 4ohm kicker compVR would be a nice match to that amp. |
|
Bronze Member Username: DavidnolenLexington, South Carolina USA Post Number: 21 Registered: May-05 | Any good brands you know of that make something decent that pushes 300-360 RMS? I want it to sound decent. Once I get rid of the car I have now, i plan on going with Cadence or something like that. Let me know, thanks man for all your help. |

Bronze Member Username: DavidnolenLexington, South Carolina USA Post Number: 22 Registered: May-05 | Anymore Ideas on great subs I should get that would pair nicely with my amp? Let me know. Thanks |
|
Silver Member Username: Iufan4lifeulPost Number: 496 Registered: May-05 | 2 RE12's would be run pretty nicely off that amp  |
|
Bronze Member Username: DavidnolenLexington, South Carolina USA Post Number: 24 Registered: May-05 | Brainfart, who makes RE12's? |
|
Bronze Member Username: DavidnolenLexington, South Carolina USA Post Number: 25 Registered: May-05 | I'm sorry, I have a brainfart or something, but who makes the RE12's your talking about? LOL |

Bronze Member Username: DavidnolenLexington, South Carolina USA Post Number: 30 Registered: May-05 | Where can I find those at? What do you reccomend I get at like Best Buy or Circuit City. |
|
Silver Member Username: Iufan4lifeulPost Number: 497 Registered: May-05 | you can find those only on their website. They are a small company. Order them over the phone. As far as what I would reccomend from Best buy or Circuit city... I would reccomend ripoffs, cause that is all they have. Great subs ripoffs are. You can get like 2 crappy power acrapsticks and a craptastic sony amp for like $700 at best buy!??!?!?!? Thats insanely awesome. |
|
Silver Member Username: Iufan4lifeulPost Number: 498 Registered: May-05 | lol sorry, if you truly had to buy from either 1 of those places I would buy from Circuit City because they at least have good products. Look into the CVR12's and maybe even the MTX4500's? Just an idea. MTX kinda has a metally sound to them though so make sure you try them out to see if they are for you. |
|
Bronze Member Username: DavidnolenLexington, South Carolina USA Post Number: 31 Registered: May-05 | What about Tweeter? I heard they had some good stuff. I like Alpines, but I dont know if i'll be pushing them to do what there capable of doing with the amp I have. |

Silver Member Username: Iufan4lifeulPost Number: 499 Registered: May-05 | For subs look at these 2. http://www.circuitcity.com/ssm/Kicker-Dual-12-Subwoofer-Enclosure-Package-DCVR12 -/sem/rpsm/oid/117529/rpem/ccd/productDetail.do or for more money... http://www.circuitcity.com/ssm/Dual-12-SledgeHammer-Enclosures-SLHT7512X2D-/sem/ rpsm/oid/124113/rpem/ccd/productDetail.do |

Not only will you get low mid-low end equipment, you will also be paying way too much for whatever you are going to be walking out of there with. You should really go with those two RE's. You order them direct by going to www.reaudio.com and finding the phone number. Once you call them, you can place an order directly, and they will ship it to you. The 12 RE's are under 100 dollars a piece, and will sound very nice. |

Bronze Member Username: DavidnolenLexington, South Carolina USA Post Number: 32 Registered: May-05 | I would look into those RE's but i'm wanting something today. I'm going out to Circit City and buying some. I'm getting a new car soon. Once I get my new car i'm looking into getting something big, but for now I just want something that will sound decent for the money. Something that will compete with the big boys. |
