Silver Member Username: Xfacta82Post Number: 112 Registered: Mar-07 | I honestly dont have much knowledge about subwoofers to be honest. I did my research for speakers, amps, and HU's but I do not know anything about subs. I really need help on what would work best with the setup I currently have. I don't want tons of bass, I still want clarity from my speakers, but just enough to get some bump. What is ported/sealed? Is dual better? |

Silver Member Username: MarcoooPost Number: 184 Registered: Mar-07 | Fi Q sounds nice and still gets loud. RD also has some very nice SQ subs. ficaraudio.com http://www.rdaudio.net/woofers.php |

Silver Member Username: Xfacta82Post Number: 114 Registered: Mar-07 | I really have no idea with all these choices. Do I need to get two subs or is it fine with one? Can you tell me exactly which model and brand would be good for me. nothing super loud just good sounding and well-made. |

Gold Member Username: Nd4spd18Northwest PA Post Number: 5051 Registered: Jul-06 | Very nice system so far. Don't use a 4 channel amp for a sub. Use a class D amp. |
|
Silver Member Username: Xfacta82Post Number: 115 Registered: Mar-07 | What is a class D amp? My idea was to get a 4 channel amp and have two channels running to subs and the other two powering my rear speakers since I can barely hear them now as it is. Is that not a good idea? |

Bronze Member Username: GignmofoPost Number: 21 Registered: Jul-05 | Seth, M.S. is right. Class D / class d style amps create all of their power within a narrow bandwidth, so they are quite powerful/efficient for driving subwoofers. you could look at a small DD or MMAts. They would fit nice into your system. Here is an example. but many more are just as good. http://www.ddaudio.com/dd/amp/amp.asp?series=C |

Silver Member Username: Wylie_coyotePost Number: 140 Registered: Apr-07 | don't power your back speakers on the same amp as the sub, it won't work properly. you'll need a separate amp for the sub. you could use the 4 channel to power the front and back speakers though |
|
Silver Member Username: Xfacta82Post Number: 117 Registered: Mar-07 | Those look nice! I'll prob pick one of those up. So you think it wouldnt be a good idea to amp my back speakers with another amp? |
|
Bronze Member Username: GignmofoPost Number: 22 Registered: Jul-05 | Walye hit it on the head. Yes, definitely use a different amp. If you used the same amp you would have an unbalanced load. That is bad. Good Luck |

Silver Member Username: Xfacta82Post Number: 118 Registered: Mar-07 | Ok thanks for all your guys help! |

Gold Member Username: Nd4spd18Northwest PA Post Number: 5068 Registered: Jul-06 | You don't need back speakers at all, therefore you definetly don't need an amp for them http://www.glasswolf.net/caraudio/rearfill.html |

Silver Member Username: Xfacta82Post Number: 124 Registered: Mar-07 | One more quick questions guys. If I get a class D amplifier and it is mono (1 channel) and I get two subwoofers, can I still hook both of them up to it or do I need a two channel? Example US Amp XT-1000D |
