Gold Member Username: HdubbTeam Revolution Post Number: 2884 Registered: Nov-04 | they can take anywhere from 500rms to 1k rms. i wouls say stick with rockford and go with a miniamp. the t1500bd. a tad pricey but a good amp. or a powerbass xa1500. even the rd audio/sundown 1000.1 series of either amp would be a great match |
|
New member Username: WorthlesstoothPost Number: 3 Registered: Nov-07 | im paying $225 for both and as for a budget i can spend about $500 for the amp |
|
Gold Member Username: 420alldaylongPost Number: 2939 Registered: Sep-06 | So you basically have a $725 budget for subs and amp.Right This is what I would do. AudioQue HDC3 15" $239+$40 for shipping. https://www.ecoustics.com/electronics/forum/car-audio/404801.html http://www.onlinecarstereo.com/CarAudio/ProductDetail.aspx?ProductID=17535 And money left over for a box/amp kit. |

|
Silver Member Username: SomedonniedudeIllinois United States Post Number: 405 Registered: May-07 | Are they the new or older P3's? Are you running them sealed or ported? Id go for the rockford t1000bd, or if you have the extra cash then thee t1500bd. Both are killer amps. (assuming they are dvc 4 ohm subs). |
|
Gold Member Username: 420alldaylongPost Number: 2943 Registered: Sep-06 | Your right the amps you said are badazz but the P3's are not. |
|
Silver Member Username: SomedonniedudeIllinois United States Post Number: 406 Registered: May-07 | P3's descent IMO, but for $225, you can do better. I havent heard much about new ones, except in best buy lol, and the 10's sounded pretty clean. Does anyone have the new hdc3 yet? Im considering getting one in the spring. They look pretty sic, and the price is very friendly. |

New member Username: WorthlesstoothPost Number: 4 Registered: Nov-07 | ok well what would anyone recommend for subs? i only wnat 12's i can fit 15's but i dont want them. |
|
Gold Member Username: HdubbTeam Revolution Post Number: 2898 Registered: Nov-04 | well 115 bux roughly isnt too bad. not too much youll find that will perform at that price. but personally id go with 2 shiva-xs and a rd audio 1750.1 that would put you right at your mark. but 2 p3s and a t1500bd would be a good setupp as well. |
|
New member Username: WorthlesstoothPost Number: 5 Registered: Nov-07 | but which is better? i want the best setup i can get for the money i have which is around 1000 but i dont really wana spend that much |
|
Silver Member Username: SomedonniedudeIllinois United States Post Number: 413 Registered: May-07 | What kind of car do you have? Do you plan on doing any electrical upgrades such as alternator or batteries? (keep in mind electrical upgrades cost$$$) What Im getting at is there is no point in getting a big amp if you cant power it. |
|
Gold Member Username: Nd4spd18Northwest PA Post Number: 4127 Registered: Jul-06 | On that budget you won't be able to upgrade the electrical system, so keep it at about 1000 watts or less. |
|
New member Username: WorthlesstoothPost Number: 6 Registered: Nov-07 | i drive a '96 saturn sl. its a small cara and no i dont plan on putting money into a better electrical system. so u guys are saying i should stay with the p3;s and get a nice amp for that? |
|
Silver Member Username: SomedonniedudeIllinois United States Post Number: 423 Registered: May-07 | I think those have a 96 amp alternator. A rockford t1000 would probably be too much for that alt, figuring they do about 1500wrms. |
|
New member Username: WorthlesstoothPost Number: 7 Registered: Nov-07 | so what would be a good alternate? |
|
Gold Member Username: 04redmach1Columbus, GA USA Post Number: 1450 Registered: Mar-06 | I can give you a great deal on a pair of RD 12 inch Classics and a RD 1000.1 or Sundown 1000D. Keep you in your budget and alot better subs. You can email me at: lowhz01@yahoo.com Kevin |
