Now im limited on space they are going in a neon, so im guessing 10s would be the way to go,but im not sure. I dont wanna spend over $500 total on the subs. So some help on this would be great. thanks |

Bronze Member Username: JbpittPittsburgh, Pa. Usa Post Number: 18 Registered: Jul-09 | Nothing at the moment, i was gonna wait an see what subs i was getting first. It will be a couple weeks before i can get it, but it to would be around a $500 budget too. |

Gold Member Username: FrkkevinTeam DLSSuperNatural... Post Number: 7090 Registered: Nov-05 | well theres a lot of ways you can take this.. what kind of sound you looking for? clean/natural? or just loud? |
|
Bronze Member Username: JbpittPittsburgh, Pa. Usa Post Number: 19 Registered: Jul-09 | I want some of both. I like loud,but i also want some quality too. If that cant be done, than LOUD! |

Gold Member Username: FrkkevinTeam DLSSuperNatural... Post Number: 7092 Registered: Nov-05 | loud and cheap don't mix |

Bronze Member Username: JbpittPittsburgh, Pa. Usa Post Number: 21 Registered: Jul-09 | Can i get away with just a battery replacement? or would i need a h/o alt too? |

Silver Member Username: Kingandsons07TEAM NEBRASKA Lincoln,NE Post Number: 706 Registered: Aug-08 | well this will help, run 1/0 and do the big 3 and you should be good but if u get a anything over 1500rms get any ext batt in the back, no caps! but though then that you should be set, oh and ground down to the main frame under the car =] |

Bronze Member Username: JbpittPittsburgh, Pa. Usa Post Number: 24 Registered: Jul-09 | 04 Neon. Exactly what type of alt am i looking for? |
|
Silver Member Username: Kingandsons07TEAM NEBRASKA Lincoln,NE Post Number: 712 Registered: Aug-08 | well they don't have that year on there site, id say call and ask for a price, id say look for a 250a alt, once you get a alt in that size you have alot of room to play with more power of the amps you can get |

Gold Member Username: MendonmafiaUSA Post Number: 1812 Registered: Aug-06 | just run the stock electrical. you can get plenty loud in that car off 1000 watts. Your going to end up spending a tons of money and time if you decide to upgrade the electrical. Once i upgraded my alt i couldnt stop going bigger until im at where im at now and about $3000 worth of systems. |

Platinum Member Username: Rovin1 15 = 152.5 DBs ...Trinidad & T... Post Number: 15299 Registered: Jul-05 | what id do for low power yet high output clean bass is get a good 15" which is rated like 500-600wrms like a RE SE , type R or RF p3 in a well built slot port box ....& powered off a good 1000wms mono like a Sundown 1000d ... |

Platinum Member Username: InsearchofbassYork, Pennsylvania Post Number: 11894 Registered: Jun-04 | You need an ho alt. It looks like you have an 85 amp alternator in that car. |
|
Gold Member Username: FrkkevinTeam DLSSuperNatural... Post Number: 7101 Registered: Nov-05 | ive run more on less and had no probs.. get two good batts and set the gain correctly.. and don't abuse the volume knob |
|
Platinum Member Username: InsearchofbassYork, Pennsylvania Post Number: 11895 Registered: Jun-04 | He said hes limited on space. One good battery under the hood and a ho alt will do the trick. Sean what year and model neon do you have. |
|
Platinum Member Username: Rovin1 15 = 152.5 DBs ...Trinidad & T... Post Number: 15301 Registered: Jul-05 | well if u cant even play 800wms then u need to have ur stock alt & existing batt checked out , if both r in good working condition then get a ho alt ...... |
|
Gold Member Username: DeadrabitMarionville, MO Post Number: 2078 Registered: Jun-07 | i have an aq2200for 300 bucks, get that and a pair of re se subs. a 2nd battery should do the trick. u will have some dim lights some times but it will play it and be loud, |
|
Gold Member Username: CtmikeCt. Post Number: 6809 Registered: Feb-06 | his lights dim off 800w, and you're suggesting running 2200w with just a 2nd battery?? and he already said he doesn't want to spend the money upgrading the electrical. really, do you even help? stop trying to push your amp on everyone and put it in the for sale section and on other sites. |
|
Bronze Member Username: JbpittPittsburgh, Pa. Usa Post Number: 26 Registered: Jul-09 | Yea, Its an 04 neon. Something may be wrong,had a 01 neon before an ran a fosgate power 1500.1 an never had a problem. Now i do have a 1 farad cap in there too.(now i know there not good to use) Could that be making it worse? Runnin 4 gauge Phoenix gold wire, it seems to be decent wire. Maybe, idk anymore its been a long time since ive done this chit. Had to do something, i missed it! |
|
Platinum Member Username: InsearchofbassYork, Pennsylvania Post Number: 11909 Registered: Jun-04 | Yeah you have an 85 amp alternator in there thats why your struggling. You should have been even more with the 1500.1. |

Gold Member Username: Hittin1TEAM REVOLUTION, La. Lake Charles... Post Number: 3688 Registered: May-07 | Which 800 watt amp are you using?. That may have something to do with it.. You could easily do a 1000 -1200 wrms setup with a good drycell under the hood and one in the back, with a good Class D mono amp. A 15" Treo ssi, AP Epic,RD Sonance, Fi SSD, ect.. are a few choices among many... The AP does well in a smaller ported enclosure. Steve Miller has a greqt price on an underrated RD1000.1 . |

Bronze Member Username: JbpittPittsburgh, Pa. Usa Post Number: 32 Registered: Jul-09 | Phoenix Gold Ryval V800.1. It wuz just a temp amp till something better came along. Never thought it would kill my lights like that! Maybe because its not a high quality amp? |
|
Gold Member Username: Hittin1TEAM REVOLUTION, La. Lake Charles... Post Number: 3690 Registered: May-07 | I fully agree with Sean.. The HO alt would be your best bet, but that is a pricey item and might be tuff with your budget. If you know for a fact that you will eventually go with more power than get the Alt first... If you are sure that 1200 wrms or less is what you will stick with, then a 2nd batt is what I would do.. That PG amp is fairly effiecient so that does worry me a little, but the extra batt would help if you can make room for it.. I would definately go with the RD1000.1. Great amp at a great price.. |
|
Bronze Member Username: JbpittPittsburgh, Pa. Usa Post Number: 33 Registered: Jul-09 | Yea, i dont wanna put anything more than the 1200wrms in this car. I just dont understand, like i said i had a 01 neon that i ran 1500wrms an never had a problem. All these subs an amps that everyone suggested where can i order this stuff from? Thanks for the help guys |
