Gold Member Username: GlasswolfNorthWest, Michigan USA Post Number: 4298 Registered: Dec-03 | figure $500 to install at a shop. that leaves 2g alpine 9833 head unit MTX Thunder6304 4 channel amp CDT Classic 6.5" component set in front CDT Classic 6x9" in rear (2 way) MTX Thunder81000D mono amp (2) RE SE 12" subs 4cu ft total net volume, slot vented, tuned to 35Hz 1/0ga power distribution from battery/alternator that'd be a really sweet system |
|
KNURD Unregistered guest | would the rear speakers(6x9) be useful although they are located in the trunk where the subs are? |
|
KNURD Unregistered guest | The only place I can get Resonant Engineering subs are at their website? |
|
Gold Member Username: GlasswolfNorthWest, Michigan USA Post Number: 4322 Registered: Dec-03 | some stores sell RE. you can also buy from their site you could skip rear fill entirely and bridge a smaller 4 channel amp to two channels to give full power to the front stage. that'd work too as an alternative. probably the way I'd do it if it were my car anyway |
|
KNURD Unregistered guest | Would the shivas be a good sub to use also? |
|
KNURD Unregistered guest | better yet, which subs would be better in a sealed box, the shivas or the se subs |
|
KNURD Unregistered guest | Glass, since the SE subs are dual 4ohm I can wire them to be 1ohm or 4ohm. Since u recommended a mono ampp I am assuming that you would run it at 1ohm. How long would this set up last if I ran it at 1ohm? Would wiring it to 4ohms and bridge a 2 channel amp be a good alternative also? |
|
Gold Member Username: GlasswolfNorthWest, Michigan USA Post Number: 4336 Registered: Dec-03 | I'd run at 4 ohms, or just use a 2 channel amp with one sub on each channel the shivas are dual 8 ohm. they'd give you your 2 ohm load on the mono amp, and they only need about 300 watts each so you could step down one model on the mono amp to save a few bucks and get 600w x 1 @ 2 ohms |

CrzyMoFo Unregistered guest | What brands, other than alpine, make good headunits? |

New member Username: SixstarPost Number: 2 Registered: Aug-04 | Eclipse makes really good HU's as well. Nakamichi are also really good, but not that good looking. |
|

Bronze Member Username: SixstarPost Number: 18 Registered: Aug-04 | GlassWolf should know if he calced the price of that system, but lets try to figure the ball park. $2000 bucks to start with, alpine 9833 head unit ~$375 MTX Thunder6304 4 channel amp ~$250 CDT Classic 6.5" component set in front ~$150 CDT Classic 6x9" in rear (2 way) ~$250 MTX Thunder81000D mono amp ~$360 (cheap online) (2) RE SE 12" subs Those are decent deals I found, you can probably find cheaper on EBay. This leaves $615 for the two subs, so probably $300 each. |

Bronze Member Username: BoopersLima, Ohio United states Post Number: 40 Registered: Jul-04 | last post I read with those RE SE if the are the triple X model is over 400 a piece for 12" I thought |
|
Bronze Member Username: BoopersLima, Ohio United states Post Number: 42 Registered: Jul-04 | doh, lol SE and tripleX models aren't the same thing, gah, sorry not fully awake yet :-P |
|
KNURD Unregistered guest | I need help choosing an amp for two RE SE subwoofers, dvc 4 ohm, 600 w rms. Should I get a mono amp, two channel (bridged or not), or four channel (bridged for sure)? My wiring options are either 1 ohm or 4 ohms, but I will take Glass' advice on wiring to 4 ohms. Please suggest a few amps from companies with good products which will last a while. THANKS! |

Canon Unregistered guest | What companies make very good reputable amps? I've heard that Rockford Fosgate makes good amps, but I have also heard that their more recent 2000-present day products have lost a bit of their quality. Please reply, I am thinking about the same set up posted above for my Explorer. |
