bro just go for as 12" subbie , a 4 channel , and a component...forget

about the 6x9.....people only use 6x9's if they dont plan to use subs , cos
they can pump out a lil bit of bass...but since u gettin a sub , just get a sllightly
bigger one and ditch the 6x9's..u wont regret it. The 6x9's dont sound good

 

[Yong_5290]

y ppl dun like 6x9? coz u turn volume louder than got cracking sound edi...

its better 4 u 2 get a decent sub 2 play the low freq...

 

[neo79]

Wait,

1 ch - Front component
1 ch - rear fill
2 ch - subs

Throw da rear fill.

BTW your amp power how much ah per channel?

 

[Spoon DC5 II]

no no
1 ch - front left channel
1ch - front right channel
2 bridged ch - sub

 

[yohannes]

keke...interesting to use 1 channel for front and 1 for rear..btw ,

sppoon dc5...can audit ka ur 15" solobaric someday?

wooo...ajak me also....L15 ar....i wan.....

btw...4 very simple setup....use a 4chn amp...2chn 4 the front n bridge the other 2 to drive a sub...i think using a big ported enclosure will help as it increases the efficiency of the sub wit less power compared 2 sealed...

 

[seisuichai]

so how? have u bought ur stuff alredi?
just get 6.5 inch component....and 12inch sub....
4 ch would just do the thing....
mine also like that.....very nice sound....
everything should not be more than 1.5k

 

[cooldube]

basis 4 me is compoment front 6.5, rear 6x9 don't use it and sure sub must use lol. But the compoment set must use the good quality one plus the sub too.

 

[DJThoRmented]

hmmmm...

4 channel amp is like this:
2 ch for comps (left right)
2 ch for sub (make sure the amp can do bridging)

to me, i'd rather run another 2 ch amp or a monoblock. so...
4 ch amp (no front/rear amps):
2 ch runs my mid
2 ch runs my tweets

2 ch amp (mono) to run my sub.

today's HU got a lot of function and preouts. use them and then upgrade to proper RCA. ;)

If you're not into heavy techno head banging music; I'd suggest you invest in a CD head unit with at least 60W X 4 with build in EQ and time alighment. Then use a bass tube with build in powered amplifier, get a set of component speaker within your budget for the front and a normal 6" 2 way speaker for the rear. With some good tuning at the head unit you have got your self quite a respectable 'smart' ICE setup.

 

[QuickShift]

You don't need a 500W rms amp to drive 1 12" sub at 2 ohm. If your 4 ch amp is capable maybe can run the rear channel in tri mode with the single 12" sub or run the front/rear speakers on 2 ch and bridge the rear for the 12" sub. A lot of possibilities depending on your hardware.

 

[MitonCT26]

what about 5 channel amps, are they good in some way? since it's one off no need to run 2 amps.

 

[artnet]

now i had these item..
2 set component..just cheap 1..but not jln pasar type..
1 12" dvc sub
1 4ch amp
1 x-over
3350mp

i m finding a amp that can produce 500W rms...who can offer me??
will upgrade the component set 1 by 1..but now looking for the sub amp first..any suggestion?
budget quite low..around 500..

two channel for front comp.

two channels bridge for ur DVC running 4ohm? or amp capable for 2ohm(bridge)?

or one channel to one voice coil...

you can leave 'em as they is and just disconnect their cables or pull them out entirely.

as for 5 channel amp, if you're getting the front/rear + 1 mono can wor. My friend running one in his EG and now he having headaches coz his mids could not take the heat of his sub... ha ha ha... :tongue:

i would say, plan your way. don't overload your amp. why people like to go for seperate amps (especially their sub woofers) is because of the heat factor. loading everything into one amp is ok and your amp will be a bbq grill later on that day.

so think wise of your journey. ICE is never a short journey, if you wish to choose the easy path as vader did and suffer the consiquences you will but then again... YOU DON'T KNOW THE POWER OF THE DARK SIDE

Currently i hav a precision pcx-440 , plannin to get another pair of rear speaker n link all 4 speaker to tat amp.

Then get another 2 channel amp for my future sub. how much pwr i need to support 2x 10" sub?

 

[howiechoo]

depend on ur sub lo...cheap sub below 200 only need 50-100 since they cant blast loudly..
if those branded 1, i think 120-200 also got la

 

[Prevacid]

my HU is a default Honda City i-dsi single CD Blaupank ...

I wanna have an amp coz i wan tat bass feeling ...
I shud juz get an amp and a woofer right? ...

but i also wan 2b able to remove it and use back normal setting when I need more space in the boot ...

is this possible? ... in terms of it wont a hassle ... i'll juz remove the wires tat it .... or does it involve more?

 

[howiechoo]

yes..it is possible...
u attach ur amp below ur passenger seat..then use a speaker wire to lay to ur boot, and the woofer put in the boot..if next time u wan to put something big, u can just take out the woofer and wrap the woofer wire..that's wat ppl do..

btw, i do provide the installation service..and i got a 10" woofer to sell..if u dun mind u can try it, i sell it cheap to u..if u wan to find a amp for this 10" woofer, i also can get for u cheap..
