Alpine you say....going Alpine for everything will make the most of that headunit then.

amp Linky poo:

i cant find anything alpine 4 channel in your price range which will power a sub and comps

so youll have to either get 2 seperate amps, one 2 channel and one monoblock

or get a JBL http://caraudiosecurity.com/shop/product/products_id/2911.html

I have the JBL and I personalyl wouldnt use their speakers but read a review of the amps and very powerful and nice and bassy for the price


Maybe martin can help you further

Mate you do not need 2 subs.



I have one 12" sub (infinity 300wrms) and ive had to set to half gain on the amp and half on the headunit otherwise its far too loud.

If you have to get a package get a single alpine one and put the money youve saved to a 2 channel amp and some comps

ive got 2x 12'' subs and there loud as ****! the gain is only just turned up

its stupidly loud wish i never got them now as i have NO room in my boot atall!!

id say get a nice 10'' subs with some very good comps instead!

what determines how bassy a sub is then?

Cleario
12-02-2007, 19:26
im not sure.. i can change mine soooo much... i can have it so u can just hear them or so the bass is louder than the spoken word just from the H/U without adjusting the amp


i think martin would be more helpfull here as i dont no alot realy just mine is loud lol

they must be LOUD, did u say your mates fusion was louder tho???

how can anything be louder thatn 1600rms?

i thought it was rms that determined quality and loudness

i just want to make the right choice as i cannot live without bass :dance:

Cleario
12-02-2007, 19:38
haha no my mates 15'' vibe is louder, but mine seems more bassy, i think it maye only be because i dont have any rear speakers but he does

P71C3Y
12-02-2007, 19:49
yeh i had 6x9s with my sub and never noticed a clash of bass??

what actually happens??

i mite get 6x9s and comps, is that poss?

Cleario
12-02-2007, 19:51
i had 6x9's but the subs are so big i hadd take them out lol

the box is huge!!
ill take some pics as im off out later anyways:)

i dont see why u cant get comps+6x9's but im just gonna get some very good comps upfront as thats where u sit most of the time:)
