AZrat2041 Unregistered guest | Hey guys, I am new here and had a quick question. I have a new MTX road thunder 202 and want to know what kind of sub to run with it. Here are the specs. 200 W bridged into a 4 ohm load 100 W bridged into a 2 hom load RMS 150 W bridged into a 4 ohm load 75 W bridged into a 2 ohm load It also has a crossover...18db/octave 85 hz selectable for high pass/ low pass. I have a 2000 Toyota tacoma Xtra cab with a stock head unit. I was thinking of running just the sub off this amp. With the crossover I should be able to put just bass to the sub right? I really don't want anything too load, just want to be able to feel my music a little better. I do plan on upgrading the head unit and speakers later on. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I know this is a toal noob post, please don't flame me too hard. Later, Nate |

AZrat2041 Unregistered guest | Probably just going to run one sub, not much room and I don't want to take up my valuable space. So, if I understand you correctly I need a single 4ohm with a rms of 175? Do they even make a sub that small? Should I go with something a little bigger if I decide to upgrade later. I might buy a bigger amp later to run a sub and use the little one to run the mids and tweeters. Thanks again for the help guys. Sorry if I am bumming you guys out with the noob questions. I have been a member of several 4x4 forums for years and know what I am doing to you all...lol |

There is also room for upgrading in the future. My friend has a jl 12w3 with 200 watts in a tacoma and it sounds great. |

AZrat2041 Unregistered guest | What about this one? http://www.onlinecarstereo.com/CarAudio/ProductDetail.aspx?ProductID=14232 The other is a little pricey. This truck is going to be a trail rig so I don't want to dump lots of $$ into a system |

Gold Member Username: James1115Ct Post Number: 4901 Registered: Dec-04 | yup that will work just fine. I didnt realize all you wanted were some tunes for the trail. I figured you would want something a little louder but you can't crank it on the trail anyway so thats perfect. |
