Hey I need some suggestions for an audio set up for my car.i have a 2007 Honda accord and everything is stock. I’m getting the sony XAVAX3000 for my new head unit and a 12 inch kicker L7 with an included ported in closure. I need some help with figuring out some speakers and amp for my car. I want I nice clean sound with great thumping bass that won’t be to hard to install and upkeep. The more simple the better. Love to hear vocals! Like in r&b, hiphop, alternate rock, and pop. I get a discount at best buy so money isn’t too much of an issue. Also installing a back up cam
My amp is rated for 500 watts RMS at 2ohms does that mean each speaker should be 500 watt RMS or at 250 rms?
HELP PLS. i have a tundra crew max and i want to put some subs in it. either 2 10s or maybe 4 8s. but i want some high quality stuff. i’ll have a custom box made to the speakers and to the truck, but i need help with speaker and amp choice. i listen to metal/ rock and a lot of rap.
If you dont know what hes talking about. You probably own a Kicker.
He might as well have a gun to my head: “ learn mothaf****” …. btw that’s how all professors should teach “e=mc yo momma”
Im lost. What amp do I need for two kicker compS 12in?
Duhhhhh Fak!
Fried and now im worst …i mean good explain but …too much info
I forgot why the fuk I came here for!
the music at 11:09
That person listened to a lot of progress rock/metal
Just that we did it better
Okay what if I’m trying to use an amp on my door speakers? I have 4 speakers that each have an rms rating of 75w at 4 ohms
Hi what’s the rms on targa venom 2d subwoofer
He can’t even fucking speak right .. he don’t know shit
i think im going crazy about the numbers.
Eh, I usually go with an amplifier with a higher rated output than the power handling of the subwoofer. The first couple hours of playing I find the point where the subs sound like they’re about to start bottoming out and stay below that point. I also regularly check if the subs are about to overheat, so far I have blown exactly zero subwoofers with this method. You don’t blow speakers with an overpowered amp, you blow them by playing at a higher volume than they’re built for.
I have 2, 12″sub woofers, 4ohms, 250W RMS in 1200watts max each said by the manual, how many watts of Amplifier do i have to use?
Hope you can help me… thanks…
So…if someone got it…what kind of amp i need for alpine swt 12s4 =]]]]]] i found something but im not sure if its ok lol
Will an alpine 400watt amp work well with an alpine 500w rms sub?
This guy talks at 1 ohm and now my brain is overheated.
my amp has two bridgeable channels that push 200 Watts at 4 Ohms, 300 watts at 2 ohms & 600 watts at 4 Ohms bridged.
one channel is burned out.
I just want to hook up one big ass subwoofer. just blew my memphis 12″s
can the negative on the burn Channel still be used for a bridge?
so I can get a 600w sub run bridged or do I have to go with a 300 at 2 ohms or my math wrong?
should I just get a 200 watt sub? whats ohms would that be out of one channel not bridged?
somebody help me understand this
Great video
You guys should make an app that calculates everything for you
Can i wire up my subwoofers with ramen noodles
Great video!!
I still don’t know what tf you’re talking about
I need a good sub and amp match I have t680 kenworth.two speaker only what do I get I like heavy bass music
Could use your help in find the right amp for my speakers man
How about 300 watt speaker dual voice coil. I means, 150watt in a single coil??
Ok what does mono mean on amp?
I got a Pioneer 2-channel bridgeable amp with a thousand Watts 480 Watts RMS at 2 ohms. 480 RMS is that the total Watts I can run from two subs? What kind of Subs am I looking for?
Well you did a fine job on this video-“inspite of yourself” !!
How do I find max volume?
Brain fried too much to fast lol now time to let it sink in and watch it again a couple times. He’s talking about 1.37 and 3 ohms I’m like umm I thought their was only 1,2,4. Time to read some more. Train this retarded brain
Very helpful i knew zip till i watched this.. Thanks
