Sub and Amp setup for $500, suggestions?

TROOPER

I could easily be talked into a single 12" LOL

Any advantages with dual voice coild over a single voice coil,
other than it give you different wiring options, and ability to get a different impedance??

TROOPER,


I installed 2 - 10 type R's (whatever this years models are... I think they're 1024 DVC's) and I am driving them with the new Clarion mono amp (800 wt rms stable @ 2 ohms). I picked these subs specifically because they match the Zennclosure internal volumes perfectly for their dual 10's back firing box.

However, I ditched getting the Zen and had a buddy custom build me a box to the same internal specs but placed it where my spare tire had been. That amp will never blow these speakers and It hits crazy hard. I mostly listen to heavy metal and rock and let me tell you, I feel every single bass drum kick and it rattles my teeth.

I bought the speakers and amp on amazon for less than $400, but I was patient and bought everything over several months time.

If you're patient you can get some really great deals. PM me if you want tech. specifics...

Thats the advantages.

Amps can be cheap but if you go to cheap you can end up having a low end amp, sending a distorted signal to your good subs. You need a good strong amp that will push the subs without struggling.

TXA-1000D - Cadence Class D Mono Power 1000 Watt Amplifier

LRX 1.400 - Audison 1 Ch 900 Watt Amplifier

P700-1bd - Rockford Fosgate 700 Watt Class-bd Monoblock Puch Series Amplifier

PDX-1.1000 - Alpine 1 Ch 1000 Watt Digital Power Amplifier

Would be the subs you want to look at. You want a amp that has some leg room and not something that is struggling pushing out power.

A single 12 is another option that you might be happy with. 2 10'2 is going to have more cone area than one 12 and will produce more bass. Only a 12 can go lower but is sometimes not a big deal to people. Also with a single 12 you could go with a lower power amp because you are only running one.


Here are the wiring diagrams for wiring subs.
