@@CarAudioFabrication question bro I will use 400w rms @2ohms using 2 channels. What sub will sound better a 12” 600w rms @2ohms or a 10” 500w rms @2ohms with only 400w rms. I don’t want to under power the sub either.
In about 2-3 years I really want to start my own audio business in Poland and these types of videos are really helping me so thank you. You and crutchfield are like gods to me!
Could you make a video about free air subwoofers? Some people have sedan cars and don't really want to waste space on subwoofer boxes. I appreciate your work, man.
Are you referring to infinite baffle? A sub has to have an enclosure of some sort in order to generate a desired frequency and load the desired space. Theres tons of different options if space is a concern. But just putting a free air sub in a trunk wont do much of anything if at all
@@pyroboy417 Completely disagree. I personally have it and it makes a huge difference ! According to the guy from audio system germany it should play even better than tiny subwoofers in a box that you put under the seat (like jbl basspro nano). Nothing else is really a good solution in my sedan as trunk and passenger area is separated and I want my system to be completely non invasive. Anyway It's really good on its own I'm just guessing it could be done even better.
@@Jake-kb2le I agree, I've done this as well, and I didn't even correctly seal off the back seat from the trunk. With just an 8" sub it had crazy range from 25hz to about 50hz. It struggled going higher than that, and didn't reproduce a rock bass drum hardly at all. The trick is finding a sub that is meant for IB otherwise it will sound bad.
If you have a 500 watt rms sub it's good to get a 1000 watt amp because you will always be running clean power to it . If you get a 500 watt amp it might not be clean without clipping
I tend to always do something similar. I’ll get an amp that puts out more power than needed or one that has the exact power but keep it at 4 ohms instead of 2 ohms for better dynamic headroom.
Got a single fosgate t1 12 800 watts rms subwoofer wired to 2 ohms on a kicker cxa1200.1 amp. Nice combination 👌 stock 130 amp alternator Big 4 all 0 gauge ofc wires yellow top optima under the hood with xs power d925 battery in the trunk. Voltage stays around 13 volt full tilt. 😊
My general rule is to pick a amp that does sub rms rating plus 25%. The 25% compensates for impedance rise. That’s minimum. Right now I’m running 6k rms each sub that’s rated at 4500.
hi watched another video of yours, im now 54 and love car hifi just love the power of a system i guess,but i have to thankyou, always wondered how they get the contours so perfect in the boot of a car and thanks to you now i know, so so simple will be 3d printing them,my other problem i have i have a rockford fosgate prime 1200 great small amp but have got a new sub inphase x 10 2ohm dual voice coil says rms 350 - 400 peak 1200 should i run this at 2 ohm or 4 ohm? any advice would be appreciated
needed this like 3 weeks ago, was upgrading one of my cars audio, has a 8inch parcel shelf sub, had a spare 250w 2ohm mono amp, got what i thought was a good sub for it, turns it was a dual 250w 2 ohm which apparently needs a far more powerful amp and either a 1 or 4 ohm output...much confusion
@@JasonWW2000 no? i just want to pair up an amp and sub combo that is stable together, reliable and doesn't sound like ass. under driving a sub can damage it just like overdriving can, and a mono 250w amp is underpowered for a DVC 250w sub. not sure if i didn't notice that it was DVC when i ordered it or if it wasn't advertised clearly...but finding a good 8inch free air sub to fit a install point isn't easy.
If i run the vx10005i to two 12tw3 d4. C6 650 in the front doors. C1 650 in the rear doors, will that be a good system? Vehicle is 2024 gmc sierra. Should i run a fix with it too?
Hi. I see that you are working whith Gladen and Mosconi. All my sond system are of those brands. What's your opinion about them? What you have testest or heard?
Hello. I have question. Why all amps causing burning speakers. At only 0.3_0.4 voltage drop ? I have fresh wires on subs, power wires. No conection loss in trunk itp. next issue i no. Have good bass. Bass is nit loud and enought soft. Sometimes head unit loss rca voltage. Any tips to this weird issues?
Can't tell you how much your videos have helped me throughout my different projects. Always super happy to see one of your videos pop up when I search for advice for something car audio related. You're having a big impact on the scene and we lesser experienced folks can be really glad to have you. Thank you for helping us out. 🫶🏽
You amazing, I was looking for this yesterday night since it has been around 10+ years since the last system i installed and was looking for refresh and see of something has changed. I do have a question, I plan to get 3 10"s planning to get a mono block stable at 1ohm however since its 3 speakers probably at 4 ohms that will get me 1.33ohms, would that caused any noticeable problems? I'm aware that it will drop max power to somewhere between max power between 1ohm and 2ohm. Meaning if is rated 400w at 1ohm and 200w at 2ohm, I should be somewhere around 334w at 1.33ohms? Apparently I had 2 questions 😂
need help i had 2 skar evl 12" with a smart 3 and my truck flexed i changed to 2 avatar 12" and a smart 8 but it hits no where as hard or loud as the old system and inputs? thanks bill o box is 2 cf per sub and 34hz
I’m just getting into the audio Seen ,I have church drive v2300 600 Watts amp I can’t find the specs for it. I did have 2 10 inch kickers c12 I believe connected it did have some bass ,I just got 2 jl audio 10w1v2-8 I’m not to sure on the specs I couldn’t find any information about them and it does sound very different like the subs are asking for more power
I do want to put the church amp to my 4 doors speakers I believe the 2 front speakers have 450 watts I haven’t checked the backs ones yet I’m guessing it’s lower, I drive a single cab the amp has 2 channels how can I connect them all right ?? This is a lot of questions I’m asking sorry
@CarAudioFabrication Question: Assuming that space and cost aren't issues, if I were relatively new and looking to have the best possible sound in my car, would it be a worth while idea to have two different sized subwoofers handling different frequency ranges? IE: 12" for
I have selected the Pioneer TS-W1212D4 Subwoofer which is going to be installed in my car so for this sub which Amp is best ? Please let me know. I got the suggestion one of my friend he tell me that you can go with the Sony N1004 4Ch Amp is it good or bad ? please help.
Hey guys, I need help. I have a very old SMD V1 18in sub 5000watts, I wanna run just this sub and 4 speakers (6x9) in the doors. Do you bassheads have any suggestions? I'm going with a sealed box in the trunk and size isn't an issue, plan to use the whole trunk but just wanted the best inputs from you guys. Thank you all
@@JasonWW2000 a good amp, momo block preferred, just whats some things you'd guys suggest or recommend for a new system install. Wire type, rca, DSP, amps wire gauge
@@JasonWW20001995 Lincoln Town car, upgraded alternator 250amp, aux battery (power xs) I have about a $3k budget. I want to run the single 18in sub at 4300-5000watts. I have a CT sounds 3200d1 that's been dynoed at 4300. The speaker is at 1ohm but I want to upgrade it all with some thought put into now. I want to add x3 8in subs, x4 6x9 and wanted anyones experience input
I'm just happy you're moving away from brands like audio control. They're one of the best stateside, but they need more people to move away from them so they can have motivation to catch up with the competition. 👍🏻
I feel the bigger reason for products to stagnate or fall off is the company is sold to another company that doesn’t prioritize quality over manufacturing cost .
