Need Amp Advice.

Bronze Member Username: StardumbPost Number: 13 Registered: Jun-04 | I just picked up an Alpine 12'' Type-E subwoofer for $25. I want to install it in my Infiniti G35 6MT. I'm currently using the stock audio setup. How would you recommend powering the sub? What amp, wire gauge, wiring setup, etc. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Steve |

New member Username: RoobahMO US Post Number: 10 Registered: Jun-07 | what kind of a question is this Eric? Loud as compared to what? Twelve 15's in a van? no. Two 8's properly loaded? probably yes. Noone knows what YOU expect from them. You didnt not tell which amp you intend to hook the subs to. If you want to know which amp to use.. I would suggest the Kenwood. but it really depends on your expecations and the impedance loads involved and how well the enclosure is tuned/designed. |
