Silver Member Username: Nd4spd18Post Number: 449 Registered: Jul-06 | I hope you didn't pay a lot for those, audiobahns are known to have poor sound quality. But anyways, you will need an amp that does 800 watts at 1 ohm. |

Silver Member Username: Nd4spd18Post Number: 475 Registered: Jul-06 | Yes they do sound bad, audiobahns are like kicker square subs, both are known to have poor SQ. |

You're only out $100 so far. Let me know how they sound lol |

New member Username: Court2101Bartlesville, Oklahoma United States Post Number: 10 Registered: Apr-06 | OK THANKS ALSO I JUST DECIDED YESTERDAY TO REPLACE MY DOOR SPEAKERS Infinity Reference 6012i 6-1/2inch 2-Way Car Speakers 4-Ohm impedance Sensitivity: 92 dB Frequency Response: 53Hz - 21 Khz Power Handling, RMS: 60 Watts Power Handling, Peak: 180 Watts FOR THE FRONT AND BACK AND YES I KNOW THERE NOT THAT GREAT BUT I JUST WANTED TO REPLACE THEM BECAUSE ONE OF MY SPEAKERS ARE TORN SO IT SOUNDED LIKE NASTINESS. BUT AM I GOING TO NEED TO RUN THOSE OFF OF AN AMP TOO? |
|
Silver Member Username: OlegSanta Monica, CA USA Post Number: 423 Registered: Nov-04 | Here's more help... Those speakers are coaxial(meaning woofer and tweeter reside on the same axis). This provides inferior sound. Those will work for the rear though, but make sure they FIT back there. For the front, you can get infinity reference 6010cs (component set). I got the 6010cs 3 weeks ago and it works beautifully. |

Silver Member Username: Nd4spd18Southeast PA Post Number: 597 Registered: Jul-06 | You don't have to. Speakers usually sound better when run off an amplifier but with coaxial it won't be much difference. |

Bronze Member Username: Court2101Bartlesville, Oklahoma United States Post Number: 11 Registered: Apr-06 | OK THANKS |

Silver Member Username: OlegSanta Monica, CA USA Post Number: 424 Registered: Nov-04 | I apologize for the first amp suggestion, the amp is not 1 ohm stable. And running dual 4ohm voice coils with 2 subs, you'll have either 4 or 1 ohm load. Here's the amp better suited for your subs... http://cgi.ebay.com/JBL-POWER-BPX500-1-MONOBLOCK-500-WATT-CLASS-D-AMPLIFIER_W0QQ itemZ250088392825QQihZ015QQcategoryZ18797QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem And don't put coaxial speakers in the front, trust me. |
|
Silver Member Username: OlegSanta Monica, CA USA Post Number: 425 Registered: Nov-04 | Sorry, here's more...for components, you will need to get a separate (quality) amp or else they'll distort when you turn it up a bit. |

Gold Member Username: JuliobSanto DomingoDominican Re... Post Number: 4219 Registered: Dec-05 | oleg, stop giving advices for a while cuz first you recommend a 2 ohm stable amp and then a 500w rms amp. Bro you need 800w rms at 1 or 4 ohms. Hifonics bxi 1206D or audiobahn a8002t bridged. |
|
Silver Member Username: OlegSanta Monica, CA USA Post Number: 426 Registered: Nov-04 | I corrected myself later. The JBL amp is 718W rms at 4ohm btw and is probably underrated. You know not to give audiobahn subs full recommended power. I stand corrected by my follow up. Everything else I said is fine. |

Bronze Member Username: Court2101Bartlesville, Oklahoma United States Post Number: 13 Registered: Apr-06 | what gage of speaker wire should i use?? |
|
Silver Member Username: Nd4spd18Southeast PA Post Number: 612 Registered: Jul-06 | I would use 14 awg. It never hurts to have a little more than you need. |
|
Silver Member Username: OlegSanta Monica, CA USA Post Number: 433 Registered: Nov-04 | yeah, 14awg is good. What amp are you gonna get for those? |
|
Bronze Member Username: Court2101Bartlesville, Oklahoma United States Post Number: 14 Registered: Apr-06 | audiobahn a8002t |
|
Bronze Member Username: Court2101Bartlesville, Oklahoma United States Post Number: 15 Registered: Apr-06 | EFX 8-gauge is the amp wiring i think im going to get is that gonna be ok or should i get something different |
|
Silver Member Username: Nd4spd18Southeast PA Post Number: 618 Registered: Jul-06 | That will work ok |
|
Silver Member Username: OlegSanta Monica, CA USA Post Number: 434 Registered: Nov-04 | It'll be fine, but if you decide to get a more powerful amp in the future, you'll need to upgrade the wiring. I'd go with 4awg right off the bat. |
