I have a vx2200 i was actually considering running in the car because its a little cheaper for me to pick up. and the RXD2400 its only about 200 watts more, and at that level the 200 watts itsn't going to make much difference. I've seen/heard/felt what the planet audio amps can do. I've always been impressed by them.

nice. I'm defenitely diggin the build. It looks really clean

I was looking at this thread while i was choosing subs and i ended up going with two 10" icons BTW i'm going to be running 2400W rms to these 2 subs all day long. So i'd assume that they can take 1500 without sweating. From what i'm told tho after you finish breaking them in their really efficient.

lol, i never checked back on this thing to see if anyone had replied to little ole me. I know its late but yes i'm not too far from deham springs.

that being said, it's still a lot of amp for the money, and it might do just what kicker wants it too. What do you mean it might do what kicker wants it to?? Are you referin to the kicker warhorse 10kw? Or the 10Kw hifonics amp? JW And what do you think of that new kicker amp?

Ok so i've purchased the subs. 2 10" Icon D1 And going to build a box something along the lines of 2 1/2 cubes or 2.75. Ported between 30 and 35 probably. The amp hasn't be purchased yet its going to take about two weeks to get the money together for one. I blew most of my money for build on the subs atm LOL. But its looking to be something like the Planet Audio RXD2400. 2400Wrms @ 1ohm Thats probably my cheapest rout. That or a RF power series amp or maybe and IA amp Don't really know what else i'd use.

my xbox screen name oddly enough is bigtoepfer lol

so i wonder if i do 2 10" like that with a 2400watt amp and a battery in a nice ported box what would the average output be. U think that a daily driver could do something in the 140s? Cuz that would be freakin awesome if a daily setup of 2 10s could out rock my old 12s

k thanks for the info. I was defenitely looking into doing something along the lines of dynomat. Or secondskin.

lol, i want both SQ and loud. but i'll sacrifice a little SQ for a little volume. I was also looking at some DD subs but i'm afraid they might be out of my price range

well i'm not really looking to change the alt in anyway, because that could void my cars warranty. I wouldn't mind adding a battery in the back tho. Altough i'm looking to keep from doing that. If i have to change the amps up much

k so i'm looking into doing two type X's from Alpine with a Planet Audio RXD2400, or two Pioneers with probably the same amp

Yeah i know. I understand what ur saying. I don't neccesarily want to be louder. Its just that i don't need the loudest system in the world. Just want the people around here to realize how loud 10s or 12s can be. i guess preferably 10s. Like i was looking at the 10" Fi BL or the 10" Icon The two 12s i had weren't the greatest at low volume playing. and didn't sound that great. I'd like it to sound good at all volumes. and for lots of music applications. Rap, Rock, Jazz, Techno and so on

haven't got them yet. but i was thinking that i'd have less than 200 amps of current draw from the sub and hi's amps. one thing i never thought about. I have only a 75 amp alt. is it possible to have that much amperage draw with that little of an alt?

i think that the 4/0 gauge terminal is bigger than my cars battery LOL. I didn't see anything there bigger than 1/0 guage at knukonceptz. But my boss says all the time that i'm blind

oh no. defenitely not. If the 1 speaker ideal isn't going to happen thats fine. its just that i think 2 12's will be TOO much for my at this point in my life. I used to DBdrag with 2 12s and i'm not planning on competeing with this setup. So if 1 10" will be loud then cool. or if say like 1 12" like a type X or and SSA icon, or a Fi BL or whatever is going to be good for everyday use and for beating down the block if i like then cool. I would just like for all the people who come to the shop that think that u need 15" subwoofers to be loud, to be reeducated.

"This amp can kill you!" "Have a nice day!" LOL now thats funny

1. where can i find reasonably priced 1/0 and bigger wire. because Rockford isn't the cheapest. Altho its quality is nice because i'm probably going to run 1/0 or 2/0 in my car from fosgate.

the 750 is a monoblock amp if im not mistaken. I'd say the subs are gone. those subs if they are comps are with single 8 ohm or single 4 ohm. Chances are they are single 4 ohm if they were hittin at one point. because if they were single 8 ohm they wouldn't hit as hard because the amp doesn't have much power at 4 ohms. I've sold alot of comps and i've always paired them with a zx 300.1 or a 400.1 and they jam real hard.

Ok so heres the canvas for the the build. 2007 honda fit base. um it has a 75 amp alt. Guess thats about all the info i have. The only limitations are basically the car and the electronics. I don't really want to upgrade the alt. Not looking to void any warranties either. I don't mind putting a battery in the back. Doesn't matter if the box is sealed or ported. Oh and i won't use anything bigger than a 12" or ONE 13" woofer e.g. a focal or JL W7. The object of the build is "LESS IS MORE" be that woofer size, amount of woofers, or amp size. Don't really care about the size of the box. I do want to retain the use of my back seat so everything has to go in the back behind the seat. Oh and one of the guys who i sold a system setup to and he got it installed at our shop i was bullchitting with him that i was going to beat him with just 1 or 2 10" or 1 12". His system consists of 6 kicker CVR 15's in a custom box our shop built with 2 3000 watt planet audio amps and i think 3 or 4 deep cycle batteries in a chevy suburban. mid 90s model. on 26" rims LAWL. So the goals of the build.... 1. Make all the guys with multiple 15" woofer setups CRY (literally) 2. To make the guy with the suburban situp and take notice. Or to beat so hard when he gets in my car he becomes sober. Whichever comes first In my store we sell Planet Audio, Kicker, Rockford, Pioneer, Sony, Extreme (a Directed Electronics brand), JVC, and Alpine. I think thats everything. If we can build a system from that, that would be optimal cuz then i can show customers what can be done with the right tools and components. Otherwise my boss will get mad if i take a customer outside to listen to stuff that didn't come from the store. (maybe i could get him to carry AA or SSA stuff after he hears it, wink wink) I've already picked out a front and rear stage. (I think) And i already have a HU picked out. So guys lets see what we can do. I have some ideas, but i wonder if my car can handle the amps. I would like to stay within a reasonable budget. like i don't really want to spend 1500 on a substage but if thats what it takes then i'll just save for a little longer. If the stuff is somehting i carry in the store then i get it for cost plus like 5 or 10%, until i get the dealer discount. I've only been working here a month so i'm not to the point where pioneer or kicker will sponser me lol. Anyway thanks in advance.

well thats what i meant. but 1000A DAMN anyway, congrats. can't wait to hear more about it

so is it as good as they say it is??? and whats the fuse rating on that thing?

i used one of those crimpers for my 1/0 gauge. never tried to use one of the anvils but i know they work. BUT SON 4/0 GAUGE DAMNNN I don't even think i've seen that kind of wire

k i realize i'm a little late to this but the main reason i have input is because i just put together a towncar for a customer. and before you start to think i'm stupid i didn't choose this setup the customer had to have what he got and wouldn't be talked out of it. He got 4 15" kicker L7 solobarics and two planet audio RXD2400s. with a battery for each. then we put a 4x400watt planet audio amp for the highs. then we put some infinity 5x7s in the front doors and a "sixpack" on the back dash. That is 6 pioneer 5way 6x9s we built a custom back dash for him. Now i've always thought that the multiple speakers in the back dash thing was retarted. But i heard these 6x9s before we put the subs in and it sounded like there were 2 10s in the trunk. it was crazy. Of course there was enough hi's in the car for 4 or 5 vehicles, but it was loud thats for sure. And after we put the 15s in the trunk it actually sounded really good. you could make out all the words and everything. basically what i'm saying is that the rear stage is something to look into, albeit i'd want a good front stage first. Also there is a center channel i cant remember who makes it right now but its a single DIN size and actually sounds pretty good.
