I need help picking out subs.

New member Username: DangerangerOhio United States Post Number: 1 Registered: Mar-09 | Alright these are the amps I am working with: Lanzar Optidrive SL800D (800RMS) Orion HCCA D1200 (600RMS) They are both stable at 1 ohm. Is it overkill to buy 2 subs that are DVC 2 ohm and hook one sub up to each amp at 1 ohm? Or just buy two subs that are dvc 4 ohm and wire them to 1 ohm and use one of the amps. It doesnt matter to me if they are the same subs or not, it can be two different tens, to best match with the amps. These are going into a single cab ranger, I put in two bucket seats and Will have a custom box built, ported. Should I go with 1 ten or 2 tens. Also I am in college and funding is kind of tight, I have around $250-300 to buy the subwoofers. Thanks in advance |

New member Username: DangerangerOhio United States Post Number: 2 Registered: Mar-09 | Not sure if these things are relevant or not but My deck is a Kenwood-Mp208, and i have 2 4" Polk Db401 coaxial speakers that are 45 watts rms, plan on getting a little amp to power those and my door speakers. |

Silver Member Username: TurnmatRacine, Wi Post Number: 967 Registered: Feb-07 | I would only use one of the amps and power 1-2 10 inch subs with that. Dont mix 2 different subs. |

New member Username: DangerangerOhio United States Post Number: 3 Registered: Mar-09 | don't mix the two different subs even if each is wired up to it's own amp? |

Platinum Member Username: Rovin1 15 = 149.5 DBs ...Trinidad & T... Post Number: 14786 Registered: Jul-05 | 2 RE SR series would be some nice sound quality - see ebay or google for an online store ... http://reaudio.com/specs.html#sp_sl |

New member Username: DangerangerOhio United States Post Number: 8 Registered: Mar-09 | Next question, what would be advised. 3 8's or 2 10's? |

Gold Member Username: Hittin1TEAM REVOLUTIONLake Charles... Post Number: 2786 Registered: May-07 | 1st off, I would look for a better deal. $429 is too much for a 600 rms monoblock amp. Get an AQ1200D 249 shipped. If don't want the full 1200 wrms then run it at 2 ohm (iirc ~800 wrms). That is only one amp suggestion.. That deal would not be hard to beat. Even locally. Many different sub combos would work with that amp, from mild to pretty damn loud if you know what you are doing. I can't really give to much insight to the smaller subs.. I've only ran 12's or larger.. I have heard plenty of the setups though. They can do damage if everything is right. Good luck. |

|
Silver Member Username: TurnmatRacine, Wi Post Number: 968 Registered: Feb-07 | He has the amp already. As for the subs i would go with 2 re sr's Rovin suggested. They only come in 10's. 2 of those would be great on 600 watts rms |

New member Username: DangerangerOhio United States Post Number: 9 Registered: Mar-09 | Alright sounds good,I believe that is the way I'm going to be heading. Now and you can find that amp cheaper at other sites, http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_7560_Orion+HCCA-D1200.html?utm_source=froogl e&utm_medium=organic&utm_campaign=froogle Now it's just time to get the box built, I took out my 60/40 split seat out of my ranger and cut it down to a bucket. Going to have the box right up the middle. |

Silver Member Username: TurnmatRacine, Wi Post Number: 970 Registered: Feb-07 | Adam do you have any pics and if you want help with box size you need to tell us how much room you have. height width depth As well as tuning and wether you want ported or sealed |

New member Username: DangerangerOhio United States Post Number: 10 Registered: Mar-09 | Hey sorry I haven't checked this thing in a while but here are some updates. I went ahead and bought the two Re Sr's on ebay, waiting on them to get here. [IMG]http://i123.photobucket.com/albums/o293/saturdaynightride/Box.jpg[/IMG] It isn't finished yet. It's 1.7 cubit feet. I'm going for around 35 hz. [IMG]http://i123.photobucket.com/albums/o293/saturdaynightride/Amp.jpg[/IMG] My amp mounted behind passenger seat, Also have a polk coaxial speaker mounted and tweeters above the backglass [IMG]http://i123.photobucket.com/albums/o293/saturdaynightride/SpaceBetweenseats.jpg[/IMG] and this is where the box is going. I'll show pictures once everything is installed and ready to go. Thanks for all the help |

Silver Member Username: DuckaHoughton and/or Macomb, MI United States Post Number: 949 Registered: Jan-08 | You may want to re-build that box out of 3/4" MDF and not out of plywood. |
|
Bronze Member Username: DangerangerOhio United States Post Number: 16 Registered: Mar-09 | Ok well I Stuck with 3/4 plywood, It was a personal Preference, and now she is complete. Again I would like to thank everyone, I'm highly satisfied with the RE Sr's. [IMG]http://i123.photobucket.com/albums/o293/saturdaynightride/subs.jpg[/IMG] |

Platinum Member Username: Nd4spd18Philadelphia, PA Post Number: 10229 Registered: Jul-06 | Plywood box = fail Everyone else uses MDF for a reason. |
|
Gold Member Username: RedlinerWilmington, Ma Post Number: 5046 Registered: Jun-05 | plywood is no good to many holes. Rebuild the box with MDF it will sound so much better |
|
Bronze Member Username: DangerangerOhio United States Post Number: 18 Registered: Mar-09 | Here it is. Not too much you can do with a single cab ranger.   |

Gold Member Username: Big_edge_headMilwaukee, WI Post Number: 3683 Registered: Mar-07 | Looks real good. But you should be using MDF instead.. |
