New member Username: NubsaucePost Number: 1 Registered: Aug-06 | Hey guys. I am new to car audio and these boards. I am just looking for a suggestion on an amp. Here is what I have so far: HU: http://www.crutchfield.com/S-pKWcVLVdpxj/cgi-bin/ProdView.asp?I=500CDA7894 SUB: http://www.crutchfield.com/S-H7OON86mtN5/cgi-bin/ProdView.asp?g=500&I=108PER121& search=infinity+kappa+perfect Also, how much power can I expect from a single 12"? Someone told me it would be "plenty of power" at a retail store, but I assume you guys would know better. I listen to drum&bass pretty loud so that is the intended use. Thanks for your help everyone. I don't want to get shafted when I head to Tweeter next week for the install. |

New member Username: NubsaucePost Number: 2 Registered: Aug-06 | Cool. I'd like to stay under 500 for the amp. Unfortunately I already purchased that Sub. Should I get another one perhaps? Also, do I need to amp my componant speakers? They are also Infinity with better than paper cones (not sure exactly). Thus far the Alpine seems to deliver enough amp'age to the front. One odd thing is... I have a front center speaker and the installer said he would have to simply cut that one out. o_O Is there really no way to run a center line from that HU? Anyway, thanks for the help. |

New member Username: NubsaucePost Number: 4 Registered: Aug-06 | Ok. I think I have this figured out. I'm going to stick with the single http://www.crutchfield.com/S-RjpiM8sXaNt/cgi-bin/ProdView.asp?g=500&tab=essentia l_info&i=108PER121#Tabfor now and get this amp for it: http://www.cardomain.com/item/KIC06ZX7501 then if I'm not satisfied I'll just double the setup. What do you guys think of that combo and do you think my stock electrical will be enough? I'll worry about the door's and center channel later I guess. That amp is a little pricey. |
