New member Username: DankumPost Number: 3 Registered: Sep-05 | I have an 88' lincoln town car. My audio system starts with a Sony mp3 player CDX7710, Infinity 6.5 component's in dash, Pioneer 6.5s in door, & Infinity 6x9s in rear. I have 2 U.S.Acoustics 2080 amps powering the Infinity 6.5&6x9s. And I have 2 Infinity 1230w's in a sealed box 1.25 (each 4ohm and 300rms 1200peak) I will also be getting an Infinity 12vq or 12dvq (vq is 89db dvq is 92db both 400rms 1600peak)? My questions are: What would be some good amps for the 1230w's and for the 12vq or dvq What would be a good box for the Infinity 12vq And which is better the dual voice coil at 92db or the single voic coil at 89db Please Help |

Silver Member Username: JoebruceKY U.S.A. Post Number: 234 Registered: May-04 | Well first if i were u id take the components out of the dash thats a very bad place to put them.Take the pioneers out of the doors and put the infinitys in there. Then get one four channel amp to power the components and the 6x9s.And its not good to mix differant subs it just wont sound right.For a good amp for ur subs look at jl,mtx,jbl,zapco,xtant. If ur on a budget then id go with an mtx or jbl there nice amps for the money.As for the box i would just stick with the sealed. |

New member Username: DankumPost Number: 7 Registered: Sep-05 | Im not mixing. I Have the two 1230w's in one box in the trunk that I need an amp for and Im putting a 12vq in the back seat that I need an amp for. I was kind of look for someone to give me some suggestions on amps that knew something about the Infinity 12vq's and the 1230w's |
|
New member Username: DankumPost Number: 8 Registered: Sep-05 | And I already have the rest hooked up and it sounds great |
|
New member Username: DankumPost Number: 9 Registered: Sep-05 | One amp powers the front6.5s and one powers the rear6x9s why would I want one amp? The rears are 3-way by the way |
|
New member Username: DankumPost Number: 10 Registered: Sep-05 | So I still need help If someone would be so kind |
|
Silver Member Username: JoebruceKY U.S.A. Post Number: 239 Registered: May-04 | Well if u have 2 of one kind of subs in the trunk and ur putting another sub in the back seat thats not the same as the other 2 then that would be mixing subs.And y do u want a sub in the back seat?Do u want ur stuff to get stolen? Im just tryin to help u trust me components in the dash is not good at all.Thats the worst place for speakers especally components.I unhooked my speakers on my dash in my truck and just running a set of infinity kappa perfects components in the doors thats all i need. |

Bronze Member Username: DankumPost Number: 12 Registered: Sep-05 | Ive done google search's and I know about all the common amps. I looking for some suggestions on some quality non-mainstream amps that would go good in 400w rms 1600w peak apps. and dual 300w rms 1200w peak apps. |
|
Bronze Member Username: DankumPost Number: 13 Registered: Sep-05 | WOW |
|
Bronze Member Username: DankumPost Number: 14 Registered: Sep-05 | I agree the comp. might sound a little better in the doors but then they r subject to rain water there. But I wasnt looking for advice on that. And u lost me on the mixing subs theory |

Silver Member Username: FandimReno, Nevada United State... Post Number: 210 Registered: Jun-05 | 400 watts RMS alternator... you really shouldnt need a new alternator that's not "mainstream". You can figure out how many watts your alternator produces, by using amps x volts = watts. Excessive Amperage is pretty good, and wouldnt really call them mainstream (compared to like, ohio gen) if you still feel you need a newer/better alternator.  |
|
Bronze Member Username: DankumPost Number: 16 Registered: Sep-05 | Does everyone need some sleep!!!!! Im not talking about an alternator. I Need suggestions for a car amplifier |
|
Silver Member Username: FandimReno, Nevada United State... Post Number: 211 Registered: Jun-05 | err, misread, thought you were asking about an alt in the last post. lol. my bad.. (time for me to go to bed.) |
|
Silver Member Username: FandimReno, Nevada United State... Post Number: 212 Registered: Jun-05 | Billy bob - might consider something from hifonics...they're not mainstream, as in sold in most retail stores, etc.. Or maybe check out elementaldesigns.com. What's your budget like? This is a pretty mandatory factor to know, when someone asks what kind of amp they should get. |
|
Bronze Member Username: DankumPost Number: 17 Registered: Sep-05 | No price range. It can be $100or$1000 as long as they bump those subs good. Isnt there ne one that has exp. with infinty subs that can suggest some good amps. |

Bronze Member Username: DankumPost Number: 32 Registered: Sep-05 | Im just try to have a bangin Infinity system |
|
Silver Member Username: JoebruceKY U.S.A. Post Number: 245 Registered: May-04 | Go with some jbl amps they are good for infinity subs.A while back on the infinity site i was looking at some of the install pics and they actually used jbl amps for their subs and speakers not their own infinity amps.So if that tells u somethin then go with the jbls.Also they r pretty cheap. |
|
Bronze Member Username: DankumPost Number: 33 Registered: Sep-05 | Thank you twiztid anyone else have some good suggestions |
|
Bronze Member Username: Young_jamesCanada Post Number: 29 Registered: Sep-05 | how many suggestions do ya want?? lol....the guyz have be naming out tons of amps and you keep saying any more!!! Just pick one! You'll soon have enough for an army of subs!! |
|
Silver Member Username: RovinTrinidad & T... Post Number: 950 Registered: Jul-05 | Just go with the very best which is said to be ZAPCO & u'll never worry about the kind of amp u bought - lol  |
|
Bronze Member Username: DankumPost Number: 37 Registered: Sep-05 | thanks young james but I have seen only two suggetions that I didnt know about. And I was look for someone who has the Infinity 12vq's with a good amp to suggest. |
|
Bronze Member Username: DankumPost Number: 38 Registered: Sep-05 | I checked out zapco, sounds nice being that its made in the u.s., but I didnt see anything that really fit my setup. Their mono amps are a/b class. |
|
Gold Member Username: Basshead86Ocala, FL USA Post Number: 1805 Registered: Aug-05 | yes, that means CLEAN POWER i just bought a class A/B amp to power my sub. i am certain that any class A/B amp from one of the highest end companies would outlast and outperform any middle to lower-grade class D. |
|
Bronze Member Username: DankumPost Number: 39 Registered: Sep-05 | what about hifonics amps? are they decent amps? |
|
Gold Member Username: Basshead86Ocala, FL USA Post Number: 1809 Registered: Aug-05 | they are in the middlegrade category imo. they overrate their amps. |
|
Gold Member Username: Basshead86Ocala, FL USA Post Number: 1810 Registered: Aug-05 | "What would be a good box for the Infinity 12vq And which is better the dual voice coil at 92db or the single voic coil at 89db" as far as sensitivity ratings go, they tend to mean very little when you start packing on hundreds of watts and you put the sub in a custom enclosure. |
|
Bronze Member Username: DankumPost Number: 40 Registered: Sep-05 | how about lanzar they have the vibe 1800d 400rms 1800peak |
|
Gold Member Username: Basshead86Ocala, FL USA Post Number: 1820 Registered: Aug-05 | Lanzar is even lower quality imo. |
|
Bronze Member Username: DankumPost Number: 41 Registered: Sep-05 | or the alphasonik pmz1600da |
|
Bronze Member Username: DankumPost Number: 42 Registered: Sep-05 | I was trying to get u.s. acoustics model usg3000d but they no longer make it. |
|
Bronze Member Username: DankumPost Number: 43 Registered: Sep-05 | I still havent checked out the jbl's. Thats next |
|
Gold Member Username: Basshead86Ocala, FL USA Post Number: 1821 Registered: Aug-05 | this link has been posted a "brazillian" times lol, but it gives you a generalized idea of what you should look for when deciding on audio equipment. http://pub14.ezboard.com/fcaraudiotalkfrm27.showMessage?topicID=27.topic |

Bronze Member Username: DankumPost Number: 44 Registered: Sep-05 | Kool thanx |
|
Silver Member Username: RovinTrinidad & T... Post Number: 976 Registered: Jul-05 | just about to say that list is needed . Obviously for SQ u should pick a brand @ least in GOOD section & get the best u can afford - duh !  |
|
Bronze Member Username: DankumPost Number: 45 Registered: Sep-05 | I appreciate everyones suggestions. Im still interested in talkin with someone who has first hand Infinity 12vq exp. But any info I get Im soaking up. |
|
SiX Unregistered guest | SH!T - I'm in the same situation as you - billybob. I have 8 Infinity 1230w's and am looking to put 4 in my 91 Sedan DeVille. I need some nice amps for a reasonable price also... Still wondering if I should go ported or sealed though. HMM |
|
Bronze Member Username: DankumPost Number: 46 Registered: Sep-05 | Yeah I thought there were more Infinity fans out there. I will keep checkin though. Hopefully someone will come along with some Infinity knowledge. Ive been using Infinity reference subs for about four years now. And the terminal leads keep fryin. I thinkin because of my amp. choices. I dont know. Im just tryin to get a system that makes my heart stop. And hopefully do it with Infinity subs. |
|
SiX Unregistered guest | YE$$! Ripped the words out of my mouth.. Left me speechless.. |
|
SiX Unregistered guest | I don't understand why more people don't have Infinity subs... I got the 1230w's cheap ($35 a piece) and they have great SQ. I just need that type of great deals on Amps for cheap with great SQ to meet up with the subs. I have everything ready in my car except for a box for 4 subs or 2 boxs for 2 each, and the amps. I mean everything - )ga wires ran, 200a breaker, 8 farad cap, plenty of 0-4 ga wire. I NEED THE LAST FEW PIECES TO THE PUZZLE! Someone help us. NOW. GRRR |
|
SiX Unregistered guest | sry 0ga wires. |
|

|
Bronze Member Username: DankumPost Number: 50 Registered: Sep-05 | Mornin all |
|
SiX Unregistered guest | BAH HUMBUG. GERMAN SHIZER! |
|
SiX Unregistered guest | Anyone know of an amp that'll push 1200 watts RMS at 4 ohms or how I can push 4 Infinity 1230w (300rms 1200 max)4ohm subs by one amp to AT LEAST the rms rating of the subs - maybe a little higher, by a quality amp, but cheap also??? If I can do anything - run the subs parallel, in series, bridged, whatever to get them down to whatever ohm to run them at least to their rms rating by one amp, SOMEONE LET ME KNOW. Help bob too LOL. |
|
Silver Member Username: XkawnPost Number: 165 Registered: Jul-05 | i have have a pair of infinity 12.1's. i need to know how many voice coils you have and at what ohms are your subs and also how many watts rms (not peak) for amp suggestions....... |
|
Silver Member Username: XkawnPost Number: 166 Registered: Jul-05 | o.k. six. check this link out. it will help you figure out at what ohms and how to wire. obviously click the 4 woofers and at 4 ohms with dual voice coil if they are dvc. http://www.rockfordfosgate.com/rftech/wiringwizard.asp also, what kinda quality amp you want??? how much you willing to spend??? |
|
Silver Member Username: FandimReno, Nevada United State... Post Number: 242 Registered: Jun-05 | Phoenix Gold Xenon 1200.1 will put out 1200 watts RMS at any impedance from 1-4 ohms. |
|
SiX Unregistered guest | Hmm sounds like a good amp for me and bobs situatiion... The 1230w's are 300w RMS and 120w MAX - mine are 4ohm and SVC Oh and if that amp runs 1200rms at 1 and 4 ohms, which would be better to run??? |
|
Bronze Member Username: DankumPost Number: 59 Registered: Sep-05 | Im runing 2 1230w's, 4ohms each 300rms and 1200peak. I also need an amp for 1 12vq, either 4ohm or dual 4ohm,havent gotten it yet. And it is 400rms 1600peak. |
|
Bronze Member Username: DankumPost Number: 61 Registered: Sep-05 | Ive got an Infinity amp hooked up to one of the 1230w's and it just isnt cuttin it! |
