well the speaker box only has one set of speaker inputs, so im guessing they wired 2 8 ohm subs in parallel to get 4ohm, so i would need something that gave 400Wx1 @ 4 ohms. correct? also i would prefer to buy it in a store with some kind of warranty and not from people online. i have done some reasearch and it looks like this http://www.crutchfield.com/S-NgChccl...20&I=489AP1200 might be a good amp for my subs. what do you all think?

 

Better verify what the resistance is on the subs. Profile amp...

 

yea im positive its 4 ohm because the book that came with it said so. and i know profile isnt all that great. but what else can i get that pushes that many watts for that price? and at least all the reviews were good. is profile really that bad?

 

i'd look into hifonics. not the best of amps, but they're relatively cheap and put out decent amount of power.

 

Yeah it's a 400x1 @4ohm amp, I was just figuring roughly what it would put out wired 8ohm.. I was thinking if you were to wire them both in series then parallel to the amp you would get 200watts to both subs @4ohms right? This is with the amp bridged.


Oh i forgot profile amps have a 3yr. warranty, that's impressive i guess.

 

So, finally got everything connected and tuned. Only listened for about 15 minutes or so, but for those 15 minutes I was smiling non-stop . Midbass is nice, vocals are natural and warm, and the highs are defined without being harsh. I have the tweeters at +3 dB on the crossovers, (you can have it at 0 dB, +3 dB, -3 dB, or -6 dB.) I have the gains set so that they are receiving 100 watts per side. I will give a better review at the end of today when I have obtained more listening time, but so far, it's money well spent!

 

Took you long enough...

 

I just finished the install of an amp and sealed box w/ 2-10's. Now I have an aweful vibration on the rear deck. What is the cure?

 

deaden the crap out of it.

 

What do you suggest using and about how much? Do I put the deadener under the deck on the fabric or do I put it on the metal?

 

Tar based deadening on the metal. Foam based deadening under the deck (the "fabric")
