Sub and Box build ($$)
|
New member Username: Kronikally420Cave City, AR USA Post Number: 1 Registered: Feb-10 | Hello all. I am new to the boards.. I was looking to build a system..on somewhat of a budget... Looking to spend about 200-350 on sub(s) and 200-300 on an amp.. I have a 1993 accord 4 dr I was thinking of RE SE 12" (maybe x2 for the extra wiring configurations) I listen to southern rap, but I want SPL and low notes as well... I am pretty much set on the speaker I am open to advice however... I need help/pointers/ why/why nots on amps, and WHO to build a box for me for these speakers specifically?? I have done so much readong on car audio in general, and from what I have read, getting a box built for your speaker dimensions makes ALL the difference!  Recap: RE SE 12" (600 thermal and 1000w max) (x2 maybe) amp? kicker zx1000.1? jbl1200.1? Anyone that would build me a box? I can get the dimensions, but I don't know if anyone makes boxes on this site.? One last thing: Would I be better off getting 2 RE SE 12" (1000 watt max) for 300$, or getting 1 RE SX 12" (2000 watt max) for 300$? I would think the 2 speakers for wiring configurations...Which I still get confused with the different OHM of speaker and DVC/quad ect The RE SE 12" is 4 ohm DVC 600 RMS 1000 max Thanks alot for your help...I like a system that can play most things but still hit and hold a good low note! I want a ported box but I dont know what needs to be done in order to assure you dont damage your speakers from going too low...So if someone is interested in building a box let me know, it will be for the trunk...And after I get some feedback on the 1 or 2 speaker, I'll know whether I want a single or dual box, thanks alot |

I would go with 2 of the 600 rms woofers and for a good amp for a nice price go with the AQ1200D amp. Those would match up nicely. And I would also recommend Bassman3 (aka Dustin) on this forum to build you a box. Tell him how much space you have and exactly what you are looking for and he can definately help you out. His prices are very fair too. |

New member Username: Kronikally420Cave City, AR USA Post Number: 3 Registered: Feb-10 | would there be an amp a bit cheaper but still push power to em? Don't care if im not maxin out I dont wanna underpower... maybe an amp option for 1 RE SE 12" dvc 4ohm and an amp for """"" x2 as soon as i figure out how much its gonna cost to power 1 or 2 then i can pay bassman3 or connan to make a box if they would be so kind |

New member Username: Kronikally420Cave City, AR USA Post Number: 4 Registered: Feb-10 | sorry for the last post...the AQ1200d looks nice I have my trunk...which is enough room to have a nice box...i will have the dimensions and the recommended dimensions for the speakers before I bother wasting his time. (dustin? basssman3) not sure what you mean by options, but If it is a ported box I just need the device that keeps my sub from hitting too low of a note (iirc) so it doesnt blow... I'm not the type to be blowing speakers anyway but... Say I get 2 RE SE 12"s and an AQ1200D amp.. Seem's to be affordable... |

Gold Member Username: Dustin3Box Designer & Builder...Dustin Post Number: 5305 Registered: Oct-05 | That would be a very nice set-up... what they mean by option on my enclosures is just little things like what you wanted routed etc. Does not add up to be very much. As long as you set your gain correctly on the amp you will not have any issues with blowing your speakers. If your interested in a quote shoot me an email. It's in my profile |
