Silver Member Username: ShutterleftopenColumbus, Ohio United states Post Number: 158 Registered: Apr-05 | i got a '96 camry. i haven't had bass in my car for a year or so. i'm in need of something that hits hard for the money. spending: amp-no more that 500 sub/subs: no more than 300 a piece not sure if i want two or one. something that sounds clear, gets all the lows, and is loud. my last car was a wreck, this car i want to get looking good and sounding good as well. thanks |

Silver Member Username: GrebnereonPost Number: 553 Registered: Mar-06 | hey whats your total budget? are you willing to buy used stuff or does it have to be all new? will you use ebay? |
|
Silver Member Username: ShutterleftopenColumbus, Ohio United states Post Number: 160 Registered: Apr-05 | new preferrably. had bad experiences with buying used. total budget... probably around 1000 or so. i know it's kind of cheap for what i want. but i want something still nice when it gets warm again. |
|
Silver Member Username: GrebnereonPost Number: 554 Registered: Mar-06 | yeah, thats a decent budget, epecially if you dont have electrical upgrades |
|
Silver Member Username: ShutterleftopenColumbus, Ohio United states Post Number: 161 Registered: Apr-05 | i like the FI Q12. is that really 1000w rms? if it is then maybe i could just get that and an amp to go with it. any suggestions? |
|
Silver Member Username: GrebnereonPost Number: 555 Registered: Mar-06 | well, DD would be great, if you want loud and decent SQ, they make great quality stuff but right now, FI is the way to go, you could get 1 15" Q or 2 12" ssd's and it would fit your budget. audioque...people say they are good but it seems like nobody really has them, only a few people, but those few people really like them and tc sounds...i dk about them, nobody has them so iv never really heard what they are like |

Silver Member Username: ShutterleftopenColumbus, Ohio United states Post Number: 162 Registered: Apr-05 | well i'm thinking of upgrading to an optima yellow top. but that's not in the budget. i'd obviously like it to be as cheap as possible. but you get what you pay for so i'm not on too tight of a budget. |
|
Silver Member Username: ShutterleftopenColumbus, Ohio United states Post Number: 163 Registered: Apr-05 | alright. i think i'm going with 2 12" fi SSD's. that's 1600w rms. insane. now what do i need to power it? within probably a 400 range, if possible. thanks for the help guys |
|
Silver Member Username: GrebnereonPost Number: 556 Registered: Mar-06 | that would be good, and yes the website does not lie, 1000 rms. and it can handle ALOT more if you want it to. so what all do you need anyway? sub, amp, wires...anything else? |
|
Silver Member Username: ShutterleftopenColumbus, Ohio United states Post Number: 164 Registered: Apr-05 | wires, and that's it i believe. what gauge wiring? 2ga or 4ga power? and maybe 12-10ga. speaker wires? oh and do those bass blockers work? for my mid speakers i need something to block out bass. i don't have an alpine HU anymore so i can't control the subwoofer level, but i'd like to get some bass blockers if they work well |
|
Silver Member Username: ShutterleftopenColumbus, Ohio United states Post Number: 165 Registered: Apr-05 | are there any amps you would prefer? and with this set-up would i have to upgrade alternator/battery? |
|
Silver Member Username: Gh0st_31FL USA Post Number: 155 Registered: May-06 | I have an 18" ascendant audio havoc. Only 4 made, new in box. On the front page www.Ascendantaudio.com 315 shipped |
|
Silver Member Username: Trey4sportsPost Number: 284 Registered: Sep-06 | with 1600 rms you WILL need electrical upgrade for sure, id get adleast a 160 amp alt and a HC1400 |
|
Silver Member Username: Usask8er1Appleton, Wisconsin USA Post Number: 554 Registered: Jun-05 | I dont think a new alt is necesary it has a 80amp alt in it right now I bet it could do 1600rms. Unless you cranking it to the max you shouldnt see a problem. Another battery is always nice though |

Silver Member Username: JohnfiacIL Afghanistan,... Post Number: 996 Registered: Mar-06 | josh look into kinetik batterys you can get their best model for 300$ shipped the HC2400 says it does 2600Amps and i here really good things about them (supposed to be equivilent to like 4 yellowtops or somthing)it also has a higher floater voltage of 13V instead of like 12.6-8(i think thats what optimas have) |
|
Silver Member Username: ShutterleftopenColumbus, Ohio United states Post Number: 166 Registered: Apr-05 | where can i get kinetik batteries? and what kind of amp should i get for running these? |
|
Silver Member Username: ShutterleftopenColumbus, Ohio United states Post Number: 167 Registered: Apr-05 | how about just upgrading my battery to the Kinetik HC1800? i don't know too much about alts and batteries. i need an amp as well. spending limit: no more than 400. and do those bass blockers work for mid-range speakers? i need some. |

Gold Member Username: CenusHicksville, Ohio Post Number: 2796 Registered: Jan-05 | well if it was me i'd get the havoc and a good 1200wrms amp, you wouldn't need an alt upgrade and it would be loud as fvcck. some other oprtions fi q w/750-1000wrms amp, eclipse ti w/750-1000wrms amp, just to name a few. some good amps are kicker, orion, RF, RE, eclipse. |

Silver Member Username: ShutterleftopenColumbus, Ohio United states Post Number: 171 Registered: Apr-05 | hey how can i wire 2 DVC 2ohm subs to get a 1ohm load? wiring on crutchfield only shows 4ohm and .5ohm. i like the EDnine.1 it looks like good power, at a good price. |
|
Gold Member Username: CtmikeCt. Post Number: 2912 Registered: Feb-06 | if wiring a pair of subs to a 1ohm load then get dual 4ohm vc's. |

|
Silver Member Username: ShutterleftopenColumbus, Ohio United states Post Number: 172 Registered: Apr-05 | hey bro....the FI SSD's only come in DVC 1ohm and 2ohm. |
|
Gold Member Username: Matt12490The biggity biggity BAY, California USA Post Number: 1512 Registered: May-05 | then get the DVC 1 ohm for a final load of 1 ohm. and the ed nine.1 is very nice, good choice. it actually puts out about 1300watts. |
