Bronze Member Username: AkacPost Number: 15 Registered: Jan-06 | first off how's everyone doing? secondly what do these mean SPL? SQ? SQL? ok now that we have that out of the way its going to be spring soon so im looking for a new system. I have a 2000 dodge Dakota club cab, 2 RF x500.2 amps and 2 alpine 12 r's dvc 4 ohms. I would like to upgrade the amps to one amp and new subs. I really want the earth shattering shake the sh!t out of ya sound. budget im looking at 1000 to 1500 I might get a new head unit to I was looking at the alpine 9857 but im not sure about it, its only 2v preouts and im not sure I can hook my pioneer xm unit up to HU. I guess ill take and recommendations on HU also. thanks for any help |

Bronze Member Username: AkacPost Number: 17 Registered: Jan-06 | im kinda looking at 2 re se 12's and a jbl gto 1201.1 ll would that be a good combo. the se's are 600wrms and the amp puts out 787 watts RMS x 1 channel at 4 ohms and U 1% THD + N 1114 watts RMS x 1 channel at 2 ohms, 14.4V supply and U 1% THD + N would that work or should i look at something different. thanks for all your help everyone |

Bronze Member Username: AkacPost Number: 18 Registered: Jan-06 | ive never had a mono amp before so ive never had to worry about hooking to subs to a single point on an amp. thanks for saying something. i found the kicker amp at hifisoundconnection for $339.50 is that a good price for that amp? thanks agian for all your help |

Bronze Member Username: AkacPost Number: 19 Registered: Jan-06 | casey i dont think im going to have enough room for the box with 15's i was thinking the same thing. but you have to be relistic its a truck and there is only so much room in the cab. unless i build a custom fiberglass box to get ever sq inch out of it i just dont think its going to fit. |

Bronze Member Username: Seth_walkerU.S.A. Post Number: 13 Registered: Jul-05 | I'd go with a 15" RE Sx w/ a RE 12.1 amp. Never heard the Sx personally but it's supposed to get pretty crazy. If I remember correctly that'd be about $700 for both. |
|
Gold Member Username: James1115Ct Post Number: 5206 Registered: Dec-04 | yes thats a good price. you dont have to run 2 subs how about 1-15? |
|
Bronze Member Username: AkacPost Number: 20 Registered: Jan-06 | but once agian there isnt that much room at the most from the back wall to the front seat and im guestamating here is 24" but i really want to say its only like 18" and i dont think that is big enought to fit a box in there. ill have to measure tonight after work and let you guys now how much room i have. |

Gold Member Username: Southern_bassParis, Tennessee U.S. Post Number: 1819 Registered: Dec-05 | in an extended cab truck you should be able to fit it , marshall has an ext. cab silverado and has a 15'' sx |
|
Bronze Member Username: AkacPost Number: 21 Registered: Jan-06 | thats a full size truck i have a dakota |
|
Gold Member Username: James1115Ct Post Number: 5215 Registered: Dec-04 | I wouldnt consider a dakota a full size truck. |

Silver Member Username: Night_mirageAmmanJordan Post Number: 170 Registered: Jan-06 | what do u think about CVX kicker sub's 230$ each sub sx1250.1 amp .. 650$ Total = 1110$ with ported Box .. Thats my System . |
|
Bronze Member Username: AkacPost Number: 22 Registered: Jan-06 | ok well this is what i came up with from the back wall the the seats i have 16" from the floor ( trany hump) up i have 15" and from side wall the side wall i have 50". thats about the best i can do, my seat backs are at an angle to. so i dont think i can fit a 15 in there |
|
Bronze Member Username: AkacPost Number: 23 Registered: Jan-06 | what about two 12" sx what amp should i get for those? does it have to be a mono amp or can it be a two channel amp? |

Bronze Member Username: Seth_walkerU.S.A. Post Number: 14 Registered: Jul-05 | Ya two 12" sx's would be sweet. they'd match up nicely with those viper amps rovin was talkin about. hey rovin would that orion amp work. I didn't think you could run two dual 2 ohm subs at a 1 ohm load? |
|
Bronze Member Username: AkacPost Number: 24 Registered: Jan-06 | rovin that Orion WCC-D2400 looks good to power two sx's but wont it over power them? also i tried to look the amp up on the net to see how big it was but i couldnt find the size of it, does anyone now how big it is? should i put the sx's in a ported or sealed box? does anyone know the price on eather the se or sx in 12" thanks agian on all your help |

Silver Member Username: Goose5714Post Number: 199 Registered: Feb-06 | Don't really worry about overpowering because most of these nice subs will take the extra power really well. However with two sx's you can only wire both of them to 2 or 4 ohms, so i would get 2 vipers and wire each sx too 1 ohm and hook em up. |
|
Bronze Member Username: AkacPost Number: 25 Registered: Jan-06 | just thinking here sx's are dvc 2ohm only how would i wire 2 of them up to a mono amp to get a 1ohm load. also i would really like to get away from having two amps. but if comes down to it i could get the two vipers. |
|
Bronze Member Username: AkacPost Number: 26 Registered: Jan-06 | ok ive been thinking about this all day. could i fit two 15" sx's in a custom fiberglass box. could that work? how much cubic feet would those boxes have to be. here are the specs from re's webpage. |
