Bronze Member Username: ThaphunkjunkOrrville, Ohio United states Post Number: 11 Registered: Jan-06 | im thinking probably up to 400 for subs, i could do more but its just not a TOP priority, also what is the main difference between a sealed, and vented box? ive seen a lot of vented boxes at comps |

Bronze Member Username: ThaphunkjunkOrrville, Ohio United states Post Number: 16 Registered: Jan-06 | ok, ordered two 15 inch mmats 3.0 subs and an ultra linear 1800 watt monoblock amp. i need to buy a new head unit next and i am somewhat stuck. i want one that has the different pre out options but still has the eq's like super bass in the pioneers or xplod in sony |

Gold Member Username: SouthernrebelMonroe, Louisiana USA Post Number: 1975 Registered: Mar-04 | Stackn Bucks, you said you got an "ultra linear 1800 watt monoblock amp"...is this the one: http://cgi.ebay.com/ULTRA-LINEAR-1800w-MONO-HIGH-CURRENT-CAR-BASS-AMPLIFIER_W0QQ itemZ5858023676QQcategoryZ18797QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem if so, i kinda hate to burst your bubble, but its a cheap knock-off amp. Ultra linear is a company that uses a name similar to a good companies name in order to sell their cheap @$$ produces (ex: Rockwood is a know-off on Rockford) In your case, the company Ultra linear is knocking off is Phase Linear. If the amp i posted above is in fact the one you bought...i highly doubt it will really put out any more than about 900w RMS. (half of its "rated" power) |

Bronze Member Username: ThaphunkjunkOrrville, Ohio United states Post Number: 18 Registered: Jan-06 | well sh!t i cancelled the order on that thing, but now i need to not screw up on the whole amp thing. so whats one i can get for around 200? that i can run at least 700 watts per each 15? |

Gold Member Username: SouthernrebelMonroe, Louisiana USA Post Number: 1977 Registered: Mar-04 | Stackn, what voice coil congifuration do your subs have? |
|
Gold Member Username: InsearchofbassPost Number: 4460 Registered: Jun-04 | if you have single 4 ohm voice coils your set for my amp |
|
Gold Member Username: InsearchofbassPost Number: 4462 Registered: Jun-04 | or dual 2 ohm voice coils and your set |
|
Gold Member Username: James1115Wilton, Ct Post Number: 4733 Registered: Dec-04 | I don't elieve they make them in dual 2 ohm I am pretty sure they are only dual 4 ohm. that sucks because your amp would have been perfect Sean. I would look into a kicker 1200.1, jbl bp 1200.1 off ebay or orion 1200.1 something like that for your price range. |
|
Gold Member Username: InsearchofbassPost Number: 4466 Registered: Jun-04 | oh well it will sell on ebay to someone I have 5 watchers |
|
Bronze Member Username: ThaphunkjunkOrrville, Ohio United states Post Number: 19 Registered: Jan-06 | they have a 3" four layer Kapton dual voice coil so whatever that means |
|
Gold Member Username: SouthernrebelMonroe, Louisiana USA Post Number: 1980 Registered: Mar-04 | I went on MMats site and it says the 10" and 12" 3.0's have DVC4ohm coil...so I would guess the 15" does too. the bp1200.1, kx1200.1, orion 1200d...etc...would all work pretty darn well. |

Bronze Member Username: ThaphunkjunkOrrville, Ohio United states Post Number: 24 Registered: Jan-06 | hey sean i have my friend looking at your amp on ebay he has 1 15 inch orion hcca. and i figure thats about perfect for it. dont ya think? those hccas are dvc 2's |
|
Gold Member Username: InsearchofbassPost Number: 4518 Registered: Jun-04 | what kind of power does the orion hcca 15 handle because my amp puts out like 800 rms at 4 ohm and thats what you would get with one 15 dvc 2 but if you had two 15 dvc 2's you would get like 1573 total rms according to my birth sheet i think and that would be 2 ohms dridged wired correctly |
|
Bronze Member Username: ThaphunkjunkOrrville, Ohio United states Post Number: 27 Registered: Jan-06 | those hccas are 600 rms and 1200 max, and how does that work if u only get 800 to one but if u hook up two it does nearly twice that? |
|
Gold Member Username: InsearchofbassPost Number: 4554 Registered: Jun-04 | because if you have one sub that is a dual 2 ohm you can wire that either to 1 ohm or 4 ohms adding a second sub you can do the same so the second sub wired to 1 ohm as well would give you a 2 ohm bridge for 1500 rms ...you could run one off of this amp and just be conservative on the gain and the 15 would slam very well then if you get a second orion 15 you could go for the amps full potential and slam even harder |

Bronze Member Username: ThaphunkjunkOrrville, Ohio United states Post Number: 28 Registered: Jan-06 | are there any diagrams o how to do this wiring for 1 ohm and what not and where? |

New member Username: Sw9152Post Number: 1 Registered: Feb-06 | back to the deck i have a panasonic CQ-C7401U and it has a super bass option (hold mute button for 3 sec.) and a subwoofer control along with a adjustable equalizer built in. i got it off ebay pretty cheap. get the 7401 not the 7301 because the 74 has 5 volt preout and the 73 only has 2.5 volt so the 74 will give a better signal to the amp. |
