New member Username: YesemPost Number: 3 Registered: Aug-09 | around $400 good sound quality.. im not competing or anything, this is for my ears while everyday driving - i don't have a problem with 10's either. 1985 oldsmobile calais found this website to shop on: http://www.onlinecarstereo.com/ anyone recommend another (perhaps better) website to buy from? |
Silver Member Username: DangerangerOhio United States Post Number: 119 Registered: Mar-09 | well with 400 would you mind going with a 1 12 or even 1 15 setup? I'm not familiar with your car so i'm not sure if it's a boat or not. |

New member Username: YesemPost Number: 5 Registered: Aug-09 | thanks rovin, just a question.. if I do go with the ssd 15" or even 12", should i get dual 1 ohm, or dual 2 ohm |
Gold Member Username: Drant19DUB-C, TX Post Number: 1946 Registered: Aug-07 | dual 1 or dual 2... depends on the amp you end up getting if you are just going to get a single sub, i would advise getting a dual 2ohm, that way you can wire it down to a final impedance of 1ohm. there are wayyy more less expensive options for getting 800-1000rms at 1ohm than at 2 ohm moral of the story: get the dual 2 ohm |
