Bronze Member Username: AfroopuffPost Number: 97 Registered: Jan-06 | The Arsenal 10'' subs and this amp: http://cgi.ebay.com/KICKER-ZX1000-1-ZX-1000W-CLASS-D-MONO-AMPLIFIER-NEW_W0QQitem Z9725679962QQcategoryZ79829QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem does it work? it says on the specs that its 1000w on a 2 ohm load and 500 on a 4 ohm load, but what i dont understand is if i have 2 4ohm arsenals, can i hook them up to the kicker and get 500w of power to each? wiring diagram doesnt make sense to me on thise site: http://www.crutchfieldadvisor.com/learningcenter/car/subwoofers_wiring.html?subs =2&impedance=DVC4x2 thanks  |

Gold Member Username: Suleman36Maryland U.S.A. Post Number: 3697 Registered: Feb-05 | Arsenals are dual 4 ohm so you will only be able to wire 2 Arsenals into 4 ohm or 1 ohm final impedence which means that amp will not work. Look into the Orion 1200D or any amp thats 1 ohm stable. |

Bronze Member Username: AfroopuffPost Number: 99 Registered: Jan-06 | Any other suggestions though because the Orion is looking to be a little over budget, i need to stay around 300-350. Thanks |

Silver Member Username: Buddyleee5Post Number: 221 Registered: May-05 | hifonics, i'm getting 2 12" arsenals and powering them with a kifonics 2006 running each at 1000 watts rms. and the amp was only 360. I know that it isnt running the full 1000 watts, but its probably running at least 1600-1800 |

Gold Member Username: Suleman36Maryland U.S.A. Post Number: 3698 Registered: Feb-05 | I whould definetly consider this amp for that price range. Much nicer then the Hifonics amp. http://edesignaudio.com/product.php?cid=4&pid=6&cur=USD $350 shipped with a good warranty direct thru the dealer. |

Gold Member Username: Suleman36Maryland U.S.A. Post Number: 3699 Registered: Feb-05 | Paul i preordered 2 Arsenal 12's. I was deciding between the 10's and 12's but since im going sealed i went with the 12's. Im powering mine with 450 watts rms each from a Arc Audio 1500-XXK. I spoke to chad about it and he says they are efficiant and 450-500 watts rms really works well to each sub. I know they are rated upto 750rms but 500rms is all you really need but then again its always good to have some headroom and that is why i recommended the ED nine 1. |

Silver Member Username: StamantPensacola, FL USA Post Number: 169 Registered: Sep-04 | Mo, you will not be dissapointed with the Arsenal. I was also debating between the 10's and 12's. I ordered two 12's back in Feb. But when early April came around and the 12's still had not shipped I decided to just get the 10's. They are in a 2.4 cuft box tuned to 35 Hz. I honestly feel based of my 10's that the 12's may have been to much for my likings. Oh, and the gain is only 1/4 of the way turned up on my ED amp. Let us know how the 12's sound, if you ever get them. |

Gold Member Username: Suleman36Maryland U.S.A. Post Number: 3701 Registered: Feb-05 | Usually 2 10's or 12's are more then enough for my tastes. I even prefer a solid 12 in most cases but since i have the JL prowedge box that use to house 2 12w6v2's before i sold the subs to brandon, i decided on the 12's to save money on building the box. I have a feeling its going to be very aggresive and drop really low in this sealed box. I use to own a Avalanche 15 in a 2.2 cuft sealed box with polyfill and it was a monster down low. These are new and improved so im really excited man. IM glad its working out for you. What car do you have them in ? I remember the pictures of your install and it looks nice. |

Silver Member Username: StamantPensacola, FL USA Post Number: 170 Registered: Sep-04 | There are in a 2001 Maxima. These are the first subs i've owned that I did not have to fold the rear seats down to really feel the bass. I just can't imagine how the 12's would have sounded. |

Silver Member Username: StamantPensacola, FL USA Post Number: 171 Registered: Sep-04 | I had two 12" IDQs sealed and powered by a Hifonics 1500D. It never really made me happy. So I decided to get better quality stuff. I have also had CVRs which did not impress me either. |
