Had her for over two years running 1 ohm with ZERO issues.

I can attest to the fact that this sub is can take a beating from newbies. It's got plenty of power handling and it's a great value. When i was a bass head i ran two powerbass 12 inch competition subs and they refused to die. You could also go with the 12 inch variant http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00INA8XJY/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?qid=1464957007&sr=8-3&pi=SX200_QL40&keywords=powerbass+subwoofer&dpPl=1&dpID=41xxvDO8hWL&ref=plSrch which will be MARGINALLY louder, play a little bit lower (frequencies), but it will take up more room in your trunk.

For the box, i would go ported. It will maximize your volume output and also let you smell if you're burning up your sub. This guy should be fine http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0013MWT9O/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?qid=1464956763&sr=8-1&pi=SX200_QL40&keywords=10+inch+ported+subwoofer+box&dpPl=1&dpID=51hYLJphMpL&ref=plSrch

The amplifier is the trickiest piece. You want an amp with lots of power, but buying from a reputable brand is super important in this hobby. If you buy a cheap amp it my say "10'000 jigawatts for $50!!!) but really it's only gonna put out 100 watts and then die in a month. The amp is usually the most expensive item in a build. You want your amp to have more power than your sub can take, because if you push an amp too hard it will break your subwoofer. I would really recommend this http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B003AILWGK/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?qid=1464957714&sr=8-3&pi=SX200_QL40&keywords=rockford+fosgate+power+amplifier&dpPl=1&dpID=41Ap1V91JdL&ref=plSrch but you should be ok with this http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B004T0YAMG/ref=mp_s_a_1_4?qid=1464957802&sr=8-4&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65&keywords=rockford+fosgate+power+amplifier&dpPl=1&dpID=51Ib%2BxysflL&ref=plSrch as long as you don't push it too hard.

Hit me up with any questions

u/ElJefe10 · 2 pointsr/BuildaCarAVForMe

No, no, and no. Boss, Pyle, Power Akoustik, and Dual are ALL GARBAGE. You'll need 750-1400W rms total to push both of those nicely. I know they say 1000W rms each, but they usually don't take that very well. 500-700W per sub will be plenty. This Rockford monoblock should provide enough power for both of those while still budget friendly. It's a sturdy amp.

u/GreatCornolio · 2 pointsr/CarAV

It could be and hopefully is in protect mode. Didn't know that existed. I have two RF Punch P3D4 12"'s running at 4OHMs off of the amp. The wiring kit is 8 gauge.

[Amp](Rockford Fosgate Prime 1,200-Watt Class-D 1-Channel Amplifier https://www.amazon.com/dp/B004T0YAMG/ref=cm_sw_r_awd_kmEHub1A5FR89).

I may have gotten the bass knob that sits in the front of my car wet, and the light for it wasn't blue like it normally was, but instead just off. The subs actually worked for a second while I was going down the road before I realized the subs weren't working. They kicked in and then I realized that they weren't working and quickly turned the radio off, but couldn't disconnect the wire because I was on the way to work. I drove the car again later during work to get food with the radio off again, and after work I disconnected the power cable. I haven't tried the amp again since then, and that was Saturday afternoon.

What should I do to troubleshoot this? I don't want to turn it on again for fear that I ruin the subs.

u/1_64493406685 · 2 pointsr/FiestaST

I think it all depends on what your goal for the vehicle is? Do you plan on tracking it? or just to make it a bit faster around town? Do you want it to look a little modified or stock?

Anyways, I'll link a bunch of stuff I personally prefer and in the order I would install them...

u/SandFate · 2 pointsr/CarAV

I think you should consider this amp then: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B004T0YAMG/ref=psdc_10980751_t1_B004T166L8

it's $40 more, but worth the capabilities. Also, if you choose this amp, go with a Dual 4 ohm Type R sub.

Reason: One sub is great, you're going to feel some awesome bass in a tahoe, but I also know what it's like to be itching for that next-level of bass.

So, If you decided that you wanted more bass, just buy the exact same sub and box, or upgrade to a dual box, and just attached that to the amp.

The amp can handle as low as 1 ohm of stability. It does 1200w @1 ohm.

But with 1 sub, you will be putting out around 800w @ 2 ohms. 800 Watts is more than enough to push one of those subs.

But if you chose to add a sub down the line, it would bring the impedance to 1 ohm, putting out the full 1200 watts, but it will be split between the 2 subs, so each sub will get about 600 watts. (not in the danger zone for this sub for too-little-power) But with the extra sub, you will be increasing your surface area.

So, even if you changed your mind on going from 1 sub, to 2, you are only limited by purchasing another sub and box.

u/TVK777 · 2 pointsr/CarAV

As /u/xTHANATOPSISX said, because you have a dual 2 ohm sub, you'll want to wire it to 1 ohm for the least money.

I would highly recommend the Rockford R1200X1D mono amp. Unfortunately, it's a little over your budget, but can be found for around $250.

u/PK_FIRE_ · 1 pointr/CarAV

Thanks for the reply. I'm just going to swap my amp out for this one and wire down to 1 ohm.

u/MuonsAreKillingUs · 1 pointr/JLaudio

I had it professionally installed but they had it done pretty fast and didn't complain too much about the install. As far as how hard does it hit, I have a RF 800x1 amp (at 2 ohms) running to it and it hits really nicely down into I'd say 50hz or a little lower. About half the time I run it by itself and half the time I throw in a RF 12" in bandpass that is ported realllly low and that hits really nice down into the 30hz range or lower (and the amp does about 1200w into this 1 ohm load). I think it really depends on the type of music you listen to. If you listen to a lot of rock or jazz or 4-4 edm like trance or house the 10" JL is great by itself. If you are really a bass head and listen to a lot of dnb or hip hop or old school "bass" music like I do and really want to pound, it might not quite be low enough or loud enough. But I do think it's probably the loudest single 10 on the market, or close, and the advantage of the single 10 in the front is the back seats can fold down for camping. If you put enough watts to it it really is an insane amount of bass for so little airspace. But yea, half the time I augment it with a 12" in a bandpass with one of the two ports blocked so it's tuned lower (as weird as all of this sounds) to really fill in that rumble.

edit: PS for the element I ended up installing 6.5" RF separates with the tweeters surface mounted. This pair: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008IB8RD0/ very loud and the tweeters can be angle mounted. I'll post a pic of the angle mounted tweeters when I get a chance, one of the best setups I've heard in a vehicle.

Head unit- Look for a Alpine UTE-42bt or 52bt on eBay. I picked my 42BT up for $80.

And I would recommend building a box to the specs of the Subs. Go to here and it'll tell you http://www.sundownaudio.com/index.php/products/subwoofers/item/sa-series.html

I know it's a little over budget, but it's the best of the best. If you would like I can adjust it. Your total should be around $737 and whatever the mdf costs. You could honestly just drop one of those subs and it cost you about $538 and still sound amazing.

RF 1200.1

Wolfram W-1500.1

Kicker 1200

Soundqubed 1250


Of these my choice would be the Wolfram.

u/FeebleFreak · 1 pointr/CarAV

I recommend the Rockford Fosgate R1200-1D. Underrated 1200 watts (closer to 1400 watts) for $260.

> do you recommend and amp?

Rockford Fosgate sub amps are good.

I'm looking into amps myself, and considering the American Bass for the small size and high output.

> Is a grill necessary?

Unless you have clearance between the sub & seat, you'll need a grill. The surrounds on the sub will stick out up to 1/2" or more and move up and down when the sub is playing. The grill needs to have a clearance over the surround > 1/2 of the sub's xmax.
