amp and subs

Well i gave up on the tempest. I decided that im probably going to go with two subs.

Im pretty sure i wanna go with this amp: http://sonicelectronix.com/item_367.html

It seams to be a very good bang for the buck plus ive heard good things about it. I dont think i really wanna use the full wattage its rated for though. I have one sub running about 250rms (wayyy over powered. lol) and my componets running off the deck and at full volume i can get the car to dim a tiny bit. So i dont wanna over do it.. plus im getting an amp for my CDTs. I have all ground wires and a yellow top battery. Just need to upgrade the alternator wire.

Anyways any subs you guys recommend? Ill be building a ported box for it and i still like the idea of getting a adire audio sub but am having a hard time finding what RMS wattage they run at

Thanks,
Danny

I have a pair of 12" MTX 5500 series.

300 rms each.

They sound good.

Where did you get the grounding, did you build it yourself?
And what model is your yellowtop batt, I have one 2.
(750cca)

The ground wire upgrade is very easy and very inexpensive if you use 4ga Flexaprene welding cable available at most welding supply shops.

Here are my upgraded ground and power cables.
I think everything cost under $13US for the cable & terminal connecters.

Don't waste your money on an ebay grounding kit.

Yeah it seems inexpensive but can I use audio ground wires too?

Yeah... i used audio wires.. just costs a bit more. Still probably did it for under 15bux which included brush on electric tape.. which didnt end up working to well.

i think i have a 650cca. I really didnt have much of a choice.. no 1 had them locally and everyone online wanted to rape me for shipping

Too much power and too cheap for so much power.. id be worried about quality

What do you mean by "audio ground wires" ?
Copper wire is copper wire no matter what color the plastic on the outside is or what is printed on the roll or box it came in.
Don't fall for the "Oxygen free copper" as advertised by some companies because if it had oxygen in it at all, it would be gree with oxidation.

As long as the wire you use is the correct guage to support the amperage draw, it does not matter what the wire is.

I use 4ga welding cable from my battery to my fuse block, then to the back of the car and into the distrobution block. From there, it is still welding cable that goes to the amplifiers. It is VERY inexpensive (I think I paid something like $0.60US per foot) and perfect for the job. Electrical arc welding requires high amperage draw so the cable can handle it while being flexible, strong and resistant to heat, abrasian and oil/gas/chemicals.

So what sub setup do you guys think would give me the best sound? I listen to everything from hip-hop, trace, all the way to very fast metal.. so i want subs that can hit hard yet keep up with fast pace music.

do you think i'd be better off w/ two 10s? or what...?

How much power they can handle is 600watts, I'm just suggesting so I have this setup now in my car. I'm not interested in selling them.

Well If I were you I'd go with two 10", a friend of mine told me that 10" sounds better than 12" cuz the cone on 12" is to hard, the cone on the 10" is more flexible so you'd get better sound.
My cousin had a box with three 10" (MTX) it sounded very very good, better then the one 12" double voice coil tht he has now (which he burned the voice coils so now it doesn't work anymore).
He decided now to go with an bazooka style enclosure Audiobahn brand, I don't know why.

Ok man thanx but here that I know they don't sell the welding wire so I'm going with audio ground wire instead but is it better or not????

no.. welding cable is more flexible.. and cheaper... thats the only difference between the two
