Bronze Member Username: MunkyjojoWinamac, Indiana Post Number: 64 Registered: Mar-04 | again...all of my crap got stolen. There goes my two jl 12w0's. Also to make it worse, i lost my job. So now i dont really have any income except ebay. Now i want to make a sorta stealth setup in my truck. I was going to buy two 8's, two 5 1/4's, and two 6 1/2's. I'll run the four speakers right off my HU(alpine) but i'll need another amp for the 8's. I want the subs to be at least 100w rms and the amp powerful enough to run both of them. I just have no idea on which brands to go for. Any suggestions on which subs, speakers and amp to buy would be great. |

They go for as much as Pyramind/Sony brands but it's 10x better. Infinity Kappa Perfects are reasonably priced, as well as Polk Momo MM6, and Diamond Audio. |

Bronze Member Username: MunkyjojoWinamac, Indiana Post Number: 68 Registered: Mar-04 | Ok. I think i'm going to buy the re8's for a definite. But they are dual 4 ohm. I'm pretty sure that this has something to do with the way you have to wire these to an amp. So what kind of amp should i go for? 2 chnl, 4 chnl, mono? also how should i wire these. |

Silver Member Username: Jwbulger79Florida Post Number: 462 Registered: Nov-04 | get a mono amp that puts out 300 to 400 watts at 1ohm (wire the coils in parallel and then the subs in parallel to the amp) or a two-channel amp that will put out that power at 4ohms bridged(wire the coils in series and then the subs parallel to the amp). www.bcae1.com/spkrmlti.htm www.bcae1.com |

Gold Member Username: SubfanaticWalton, Ky Post Number: 2006 Registered: Dec-04 | you wont bridge your amp, its a one channel amp, you will have to run the subs in parralel though if tahts whats you mean |
