Question for my friend

Gold Member Username: Nyyfan13Fi SSD USA Post Number: 1170 Registered: Jul-06 | alrite my friend has 2 sets of alpine type s coax speakers in his car. one up front, one in back, and a alpine hu. as you can tell people at my school love alpine...and sony. but anyway, he sees me getting all my sh_t and wants his system to be better. he wants to keep his speakers but make them suond better/louder. they are coax speakers and wants a 4 channel amp for them cause hes decidedd its gonna make them 100 times better. what would it really do? and honestly, im gonna lose some rep here, but you can put an amp onto coax speakers right? http://www0.shopping.com/xPO-Alpine-Alpine-SPS-17C2-6-1-2-6-3-4-2-way-Car-Speake rs~r-1~CLT-INTR~RFR-www.google.com ^^thats them i believe. 35rms also, he wants sub and amp for about 250-300 tops. i was thinking maybe an assasin with a phoenix gold 400.1 amp. that sound legit for about 250? or is there better thanks |

Silver Member Username: Tdawg30Ohio USA Post Number: 715 Registered: Jun-06 | yes putting an amp on coax makes them much better. but it only really brings out the highs good. the mids dont sound the best with it set on full so just set the amp to high pass and they sound much much better. (ive done it before so I know from experience) and yeah then the assasin and pg would be a good match. |

Silver Member Username: Tdawg30Ohio USA Post Number: 718 Registered: Jun-06 | get on ebay and get a kicker kx 350.4 its only like 115 shipped does like 40rms I think. |
|
Gold Member Username: Nyyfan13Fi SSD USA Post Number: 1182 Registered: Jul-06 | lets bump it once more... another question actually, i cant find what ohm load the speakers have (im guessing 4 ohm) so im looking for a 4 channel amp that does abuot 35 rms at 4 ohms?? and is there a better combo for 250 then the one above? |

Silver Member Username: Bump05We Stay Fly, 18 SX USA Post Number: 367 Registered: Aug-06 | there 4 ohm.. and i got 4 5x7 on a rockord 200aII and they sound really good i like them alot.. but my amp is 2 channel u dont really need 4. so 250 for sub and amp.. id get a ssd 12 and the phoenix amp might be a little more |

Gold Member Username: Dustin3Tigard, OR U.S. Post Number: 4421 Registered: Oct-05 | the assassin is a great sub. sq is great and gets loud. good all-around sub. the FI X i dont know much about, but the dds are always nice too |
|
Gold Member Username: CtmikeCt. Post Number: 2595 Registered: Feb-06 | the fi x, from what scott told me, is like a beefier jl w3. never heard the 1012 but i know it costs a little around $150 from dd, can't remember exactly. can't go wrong with the assassin though. |
|
Gold Member Username: CtmikeCt. Post Number: 2596 Registered: Feb-06 | oh, if your friend needs a pg 400.1, let me know i have one for $140 shipped |
|
Gold Member Username: Nyyfan13Fi SSD USA Post Number: 1189 Registered: Jul-06 | ctmike, thats awesome cause my friend might very well buy it. i gotta talk to him abuot it and see if he can bump the budget up any. but i think its down to the X and assassin. probably will end up with a 400.1 for either. but ill definitly see what he says |
|
Gold Member Username: CtmikeCt. Post Number: 2597 Registered: Feb-06 | thats cool just let me know if he wants it. i been trying to get of this and my jl's forever, i might even go lower. and if he gets the x's definately give a review as it will be the first on those subs. |
|
Gold Member Username: Nyyfan13Fi SSD USA Post Number: 1191 Registered: Jul-06 | yea will do if he gets it. it wont be until after x-mas but better late than never i guess. and ill talk to him and give you a pm or thread title or something here in the next couple days. what jls you got? |

Gold Member Username: Nyyfan13Fi SSD USA Post Number: 1192 Registered: Jul-06 | can you pm the prices on those? or just post them here if you want i guess. |
|
Gold Member Username: CtmikeCt. Post Number: 2599 Registered: Feb-06 | well the cheapest i saw on ebay when i checked quickly was $119 plus $20 shipping for one or i think it was $270 plus for a pair. $210 plus shipping sound fair? bought new from dealer and used for 3 months before switching subs again and they've been sitting around in the box since. checked around and woofersetc is $179 plus each, onlinecarstereo is $199 shipped each, etc. |
|
Gold Member Username: Nyyfan13Fi SSD USA Post Number: 1195 Registered: Jul-06 | sounds fair, ill talk to him about those too cause he heard my frieds w3 and loved it so maybe 2 could work for him |
|
Gold Member Username: CtmikeCt. Post Number: 2600 Registered: Feb-06 | alright let me know. you or your friend can email me at landerfield@sbcglobal.net whenever. |
