New member Username: Trey4sportsPost Number: 3 Registered: Sep-06 | im not sure wat u mean richard, are you sayin the amp is bump i guess? im still kinda new to this stuff,also, where do i get it, and im tryin to keep the amp under 600 if possible, thanks |

Gold Member Username: CtmikeCt. Post Number: 2215 Registered: Feb-06 | 4000wrms under $600 will be kinda hard. and what he means is you better invest in the largest high output alternator you can, several good batteries, and upgrade the big 3. and some sound deadning wouldn't hurt. |

Silver Member Username: GrebnereonPost Number: 401 Registered: Mar-06 | haha....4000rms for under 600 = impossible sorry man |
|
New member Username: Trey4sportsPost Number: 4 Registered: Sep-06 | well i found the soundstream picasso pushin 3500 rms for 550 on ebay, is that a pretty good amp? also if i do upgrade the big 3 and purchase that amp do you think i have a chance to win sum comps, with that sub and the picasso 3500D amp? |
|
Silver Member Username: GrebnereonPost Number: 402 Registered: Mar-06 | yeah man, i think you got in a little too deep a little too fast. you already got a 4000w rms sub you need: amp HO alternator big 3 upgrade several batteries amp kit all of this you might be able to get for $1,500 , not including the amp, which will be probably $1,000 atleast |
|
Silver Member Username: GrebnereonPost Number: 403 Registered: Mar-06 | yeah, ok, that amp is good. it puts out its rms rating. from what people say....the picasso line of their amps are their top line. but most of their lesser stuff doesnt do its rms rating |
|
New member Username: Trey4sportsPost Number: 5 Registered: Sep-06 | yeah and the shitty thing is im 16 makin 6.50 an hr...itll b a cold day in hell before i get all this stuff payed off..but still...anybody got any advice/comments on the sub that i provided a link to earlier im pretty anxious to hear any kind of feedback, btw how much do you think the custom 8 cubic ft vented box i have to have for my sub will cost ? |
|
Silver Member Username: GrebnereonPost Number: 404 Registered: Mar-06 | also, i know nothing about your sub, but if its rms rating is 4000 , then yes you can win comps. but you have got to have a good setup. a million dollar sub in a bad setup will go nowhere. your box and vehicle are just as important or more important than your choice of sub(s) and amp(s). SUV's have ALOT more potential to get loud than any car with a separate trunk. its the combintion of subs ,amps, box, car, charging system that make a good, loud setup |

Gold Member Username: CtmikeCt. Post Number: 2217 Registered: Feb-06 | never personally heard the sub so i can't comment on that but as far as a box goes it'll be best if you make it or have someone you know make it. getting one made at a store you're probably looking at anywhere from $400 or more. depends alot where you live and how much competion the store has. |
|
Silver Member Username: GrebnereonPost Number: 405 Registered: Mar-06 | and for that box you are speaking about. if you have the tools, it is WAY cheaper to build it yourself. but if you dont, try to find someone on here that lives close to you that builds boxes and they will build one for you. still alot cheaper than any shop would build it for. |
|
New member Username: Trey4sportsPost Number: 6 Registered: Sep-06 | well its going in a 98 range rover, im just super afraid to make it myself, ive heard horror storys about homeade box's. plus i really want a vented box tuned to 33hz or so for competition, also, ive compiled a list of items i need for the sub so correct me if im missing a huge part of the puzzle, 4000 watt rms amp HO ALT 8.0 cubic ft vented boxBOX 8.0 cap hi-power batteries 0-gauge wire kit, any other ideas? |

Silver Member Username: GrebnereonPost Number: 408 Registered: Mar-06 | trey, you dont need a cap when you are going to have those batteries. caps dont really do much anyway, besides the fact that they are nice eye candy |

Post Number: 9620 Registered: Jul-05 | er - didint u guys read it good ? >>>>>>>>>>>>>> Description: * Peak power handling: 2000 Watts per voice coil * Continuous power handling: 1000 Watts per voice coil so if thats the correct link then its 2000w MAX PER COIL !!!! NOT 4000wrms ! so that sub is really rated 2000wrms ! sub frame looks just like the atomic apx ... |

Silver Member Username: Naledge503Currently residing in ..., Oregon USA Post Number: 457 Registered: Jun-06 | its got quad voice coils |
|
Gold Member Username: CtmikeCt. Post Number: 2218 Registered: Feb-06 | haha, when i clicked the link i just wanted to look at the sub! guess i shouldv'e read it to |
|
Gold Member Username: SouthernrebelMonroe, Louisiana DD 9515d~~]... Post Number: 3661 Registered: Mar-04 | yea...its 1000wrms per coil quad VC's (4") total---4000wrms |
|
Silver Member Username: BernymacAQ HD3!!, CA United States Post Number: 792 Registered: Sep-04 | Making a box yourself isn't as bad as it sounds. As long as you know how to work with tools and so forth you should be okay. Thing good thing to do is brace the inside of the box. |

Gold Member Username: JuliobSanto DomingoDominican Re... Post Number: 3207 Registered: Dec-05 | haha rovin, you looked like a newbie up there. 4 coilsx1000w= 4000w rms The cheapest amp you can get is a lanzar optidrive 4000D, nobody likes it but it has the same board of the soundstream XXX6500D model, an extremely spl amp |
|
Bronze Member Username: BoomtankPost Number: 79 Registered: Oct-06 | No lanzar they are crap. I had a lanzar 2000wrms at 2 ohms and my little 400wrms Ma Audio amp pushed the same subs harder. The Ma Audio Hk4000d you can get for about 450 shipped on ebay. http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_2713.html Its rated at 4000wrms at 17 volts. But will run around 3300 wrms true at 2 ohms. have it modded to run at 1 ohm and ull get more than enough power. over 4000watts Quad 1 ohm sub wired to 1 ohm 2 sets of 2 vc in parrellel then wire the 2 in series that will get you at 1 ohm |
|
Bronze Member Username: Trey4sportsPost Number: 12 Registered: Sep-06 | but the specs say the amp isnt stable at 1 ohm?? |
|
Gold Member Username: JuliobSanto DomingoDominican Re... Post Number: 3210 Registered: Dec-05 | EDDy optidrive line is good, again the same trouble. Check this pics and then STFU. http://ampguts.realmofexcursion.com/Lanzar_OPTI_4000D/ That board doesn't lies, and i've heard they're underrated and can hold 1/2 ohm loads, but i'm not sure about that. I know it will put 4000w rms for cheap. |

Gold Member Username: RovinTrinidad & T... Post Number: 9635 Registered: Jul-05 | doooh ! - guess i so missed seeing that quad coil part since its always usually damn dual coil subs my bad - lol ........  |
|
New member Username: Slamminsystem05Raymond, MS United States Post Number: 6 Registered: Nov-06 | RF T40001bd (4000w x 1 @ 1 ohm) and its underrated so it prob puts out 4500 |
|
New member Username: JnbjproductionsPost Number: 4 Registered: Nov-06 | What about a xxx amp? the one that kicks out 10000 rms for 2200$ I know you could wipe out world hunger for that kind of money, but what the hell? |
