This forum has a lot of people who have knowledge and experience and actually are nice and help to their fullest extent. So I have a question. I Currently have an Mitsubishi eclipse 2007 with the premium rockford sound system. Looking to up grade it with some other things. I just bought the JL componet XR650-CSi for my fronts and tweets. I also have two JL 12WO series subs and a kicker zr 120 amp. JL's documentation says one sub need between 125-250 watts. Kicker says: ZR120 30 x 2 @ 4ohms 60 x 2 @2ohm 90 x 2 @1ohm 120 4ohm mono bridged 180 2.66 mono bridged 180 2ohm mono bridged What I would like to have is my one 12' sub in a sealed box give me nice tight bass, at a med to med high level and possibly run the components off the same amp as well. Is this enough power or should i buy an amp to power the sub and use the zr for the components? If so how many channels and how many watts? I will also in the future but not now buy http://www.crutchfield.com/S-TziM8wbXvIj/cgi-bin/ProdView.asp?I=500CDA9886 |

Use the front 2 ch for the comps and bridge the other two for the sub. Any decent amp around 75-100x4 at 4 should do a good job. this would be about perfect. http://www.onlinecarstereo.com/CarAudio/ProductDetail.aspx?ProductID=17532 If you really want to use the ZR then another 2 ch that bridges to around 250w should do the trick. You'll probably want to add a dual amp installation kit if you go that route. here's a real nice 2 ch - http://www.onlinecarstereo.com/CarAudio/ProductDetail.aspx?ProductID=13474 |
