Jay F Unregistered guest | I am installing 2 12 inchers 1800 w each xploits, from sony, and um the kid has a legacy amp (LMAO), anyway the subs, don't bump for crap, so obviously he needs an amp, but what should I get the kid? |

Gold Member Username: GlasswolfNorthWest, Michigan USA Post Number: 4182 Registered: Dec-03 | the subs aren't 1800 watts. they're usually about 350 watts RMS each. a 600 watt mono amp would be fine if you have two single coil 4 ohm subs. |
|
LMAO@U Unregistered guest | Jay you must not know much yourself. Your saying LMAO @ the Legacy but yet you call Sony subs KILLER I'm LMMFAO @you for thinking those are killer subs. Another reason those subs don't bump for crap is NOT all because of the amp it also has to do with the *SUBS* and enclosure. And the INSTALL. If the (kid) wants killer subs tell him to get a 12" RE triple X or JL 13W7 or 15" Adire Brahma. And have a Professional install them. |

Gold Member Username: GlasswolfNorthWest, Michigan USA Post Number: 4183 Registered: Dec-03 | scary as it is, I've seen a few cars using Sony P5 subs win SPL events. Usually in the lower classes, but still, surprising. The problem is non-round subs have reliability issues and they are less than ideal for SQ. I'm not a sony fan at all myself, but the P5s can certainly get loud in the right slot vented enclosure with the right amp.. sad, but true. |

LMAO@U Unregistered guest | Yeah Glass I know what you mean. But if you had to choose between the subs I listed above and sonys which would you choose. The RE triple X's I thought so lol. What I meant was even if they have won any events they won't last anywhere near as long as a good quality sub. Nor will they sound anywhere as good as a quality sub. So no they aren't KILLER subs. I think the only reason their in SPL events is because SQ is not needed in that type of event. I can think of lots of lower level subs that would have more SPL and SQ then those P5s are any sony sub. Hell I would take Audiobahn over those. |

Gold Member Username: GlasswolfNorthWest, Michigan USA Post Number: 4193 Registered: Dec-03 | well, it's not a fair comparison honestly. a P5 is a $60 sub. the RE is $360. To answer your question though, I'm personally using two RE 12" in my current project. |
|
Jay F Unregistered guest | The subs I have are DVC so i dunno if i should get two amps or not, second off LMAO@U I am here for help not for freaking insults, I mean do you have a thing for legacy amps? Are you poor? BTW I know sony isn't the best subs but give me a break the kid just walked into circuit city and bought the best subs they had to offer so kiss mine |

Anonymous | LMAO, what is your prob man. you dont need to make fun of him because he has sony subs. maybe they're not top of the line $300 subs, but maybe he likes them and he's pumped about getting everything hooked up. maybe those subs are killer to him (and his friend), and thats all that really matters. so dont post anything like that ever again. |

Gold Member Username: GlasswolfNorthWest, Michigan USA Post Number: 4218 Registered: Dec-03 | ok the subs are DVC. with Sony that'll be dual 4 ohm coils, so a pair of 2 ohm subs essentially. if you go with one amp, you'll want a 2 channel (stereo) amp that puts out around 300 watts RMS x 2 channels @ 2 ohms. OR, you can use one monoblock amp per sub, and get a pair of amps rated for 300 watts RMS each @ 2 ohms. the JBL BP300.1 would be an example, and sells for around $150 I believe, each. ideally to use two subs, he should have gotten two single coil 4 ohm subs, or two dual 2 ohm DVC models.. that'd give a 2 ohm load to a mono amp and he could've gone with a relatively inexpensive 600wRMS x 1 @ 2 ohm amplifier for about $250 |

Silver Member Username: Purplehase_bongBc Canada Post Number: 119 Registered: Apr-04 | JBL is a great brand theyve been making speakers and such since 1946. and yes there better then any sony or legacy product. o and by the way who ever disses other ppl about there stuff are just a bunch of sad losers.! people buy lower end stuff because they might not have alot of money but want a little bass and the product sounds good to them. everyone start down the road some were. so just give em a break. if u have no advice to say but to diss other ppl then dont waste our time. |

New member Username: Blindc1rcaPost Number: 6 Registered: Aug-04 | Dude if you have the money, go with the directed 750d. and since those are dvc's you can wire it down to a 1 ohm load and get 300w RMS into each of them. It's an extremely efficient amp, only downside is itll run you about $380. |
