Mine, just a simple system. 2 Pioneer 10" subs pushed by a 400watt Jensen Amp. Old Old Pioneer Headunit, I just ordered a 7" Toushcreen DVD/MP3/CD player.

^^^ thats niiiiiiccccce.^^^

[Sjorge450R]

ive got a quick question. I currently am running a Kenwood H/U with 6 6.5" Speakers. I want a little more push, but dont have the room for it. If i throw in a small 200w amp,will it make it sound better? I know how to do everything and I have a good understanding of wiring, but i dont know if a amp will help for what i want. I just want a little more out of my speakers.

[Moto49X]

Im not an expert on systems. I know how to install them and what sounds good and what doesnt.

I dont think it will be alot louder but it will have a more crisp sound. Possibly a little deeper punch to it also.... Wait till some of the big sterio guys find the thread and they will give you a better answer.

Ha. So I know as much as you then...lol. Thats what i want is a crisper sound.

[mineralgrey01gt]

What kind of "push" do you want? More bass? If so, throw a 10" sub in there in a small sealed enclosure and it would sound really good and give you the little thump you want. Also if you put an amp (in your case the 200w) on your highs, it will sound a lot crisper and clean. Thats if your 6.5's can handle the power.

My system consist of an Alpine IVA-W200 touchscreen double din tv, Rockford fosgate Punch 700s (rated at 1400w), Kicker 5x7 door speakers, and an Audiobahn High Excursion 12" sub in a sealed enclosure. Im getting ready to order another sub and get a fiberglassed box for my trunk. Here are a few pics

My cousin has 2 12" Pioneers in a downfire box and a Pioneer radio. He only has a 800w amp pushin those subs and some little speakers and it sounds good but his amp get pretty hot after a while.

i have no room for a sub :( I have a single cab dakota. ANd what do you mean, if my speakers can handle the power? They are all 220w speakers if thats wat your asking.

[mineralgrey01gt]

I had 2 10" subs in my single cab dakota with the amp that I have in the pics in the middle of the single truck boxes :) Then I had 4 10" subs in it, but the back wall was cut out (which I do not reccommend doing). Well if your speakers can handle that many watts, then a 200w amp would sound really good in your truck.

I also had a single 10" in a truck box in my single cab dakota. I put it behind the passenger seat and the amp sat under the drivers seat

IMO that would have been better for my truck with that set up. It was kinda cramped with the 2 10's

sweet setup, i had:
2 10" Kicker Comp CVR's
Punch 700s amp
Alpine head unit in mine

it thumped but nothing like the 4 10's lol

[Sjorge450R]

okay so how do i know what size amp i should get? All 6 of my speakers are 200-220w speakers. Should i get a cheap 200w amp? What will that do to the sound? Also, you think i could get away with laying a 10" under my passenger seat? How tall are these? Never really did any crazy audio stuff.

[mineralgrey01gt]

I say get something like 200w 4 channel amp. Be sure and get a 4 channel to run them though

[Sjorge450R]

alright. What am i looking at for a wiring job? Connecting all my speakers to that before they go to my H/U?

[mineralgrey01gt]

your speakers will not connect to your head unit if thats what you mean. All you have to do is run the RCA jacks from the head unit to the amp, also your remote wire. Also if I was you, I would go ahead and run 2 sets of RCA jacks so that you will not have to later down the road if you want to run another amp for a subwoofer.

[ny300exrider]

in the process of putting a system together for my new dakota club cab....how does this setup look?

-mtx thunderform box with 2 10s
-kicker kx350.2 2 channel amp
-pioneer 6.5" 3way speaker pair
-soundquest 4guage 1200watt amp install kit
-scosche deck install kit

all from 1 website

and then go down to bestbuy and pick out an ipod-ready deck and have them install it and ill do the rest myself.


opinions?

[mineralgrey01gt]

the head unit is extremely easy to install and takes a ton less time than the actual system takes to wire up. That system sounds good! You taking out the back seat? If there is a back seat in those, I really never looked at them.

[400exstud]

1 12" Power Acoustik FUBAR sub in a ported box powered by a 1440 watt Kole Audio KX-1440 amp. It's plenty loud enough for me. I have heard much louder, though. Dual or 4 subs makes it sooo much louder, but I don't have the space.

If there is a back seat in those, I really never looked at them. yeah your right, i could probably save that $50 for installation, have a couple friends over, and do it all myself. the club cabs have a foldup back seat with a plastic storage container under it. the box/subs i am getting actually replace the storage container and fit in the factory spot so the seat is still useable...makes for a stealth look that i love! i cant wait to get this going, i roll out with my friends who have 15's in their trunk and im in the back with stock dakota components lol...time to get some thump baby!!

awesome, do they make downfire boxes for dakotas? I know those sound really good in the extended cab chevys

DVD system...too long to list

Sounds nice.....:cool:

[Moto49X]

mineralgrey01gt you seem to know a little more than i do.

I think im going to throw in another Pioneer 10" to my set up, making 3 total. I know my 400W amp wont be enough, i was thinking of a 600watt. Do you think that will be good or do i need to look into an 800?

[mineralgrey01gt]

how much power can the subs hold? The 600watt amp should be plenty enough if the others are working well off the 400watt amp.

alright. So how do I run 2 sets of RCA? My HU only has one set in the rear? Sorry for all the questions. I really dont know how to go about doing this.

[mineralgrey01gt]

oh ok, well if it only has one set then thats not a problem. Do you plan on running another amp for some subwoofers later on? If so, the only thing I can see is you will have to switch out your head unit or get a cross-over. A cross-over allows you to run 2 or 3 different amps off of one central box and they all can be adjusted or fine tuned by the cross-over. Im only suggesting this if you plan on running an additional amp for a subwoofer later down the road. If not, then disregard what I have said about the subwoofer stuff. Here is a pic of a cross-over if you want to see what I am talking about:

You don't even want to see the ghetto install I did in my dad's sunfire, now he won't let me drive it. Shouldn't of ran the wires under the floormats, LOL!

[mineralgrey01gt]

lol thats one thing i never do man, is a ghetto install. That always bothered me when I saw that in someones car. I even made one of my friends come by my house and I rewired his truck for him because it aggravated me so much lol.

I payed $1100 for my head unit so I know how that feels :(

[motoman990]

4 12 inch sony subs, all door speakers replaced with sony speakers, sony head unit, a 500 watt 4 channel amplifier running to the door speakers, and 2 1300 watt mono block amplifiers hooked up to the subwoofers in a Chevy Aveo hits around 140 dbs

[DJR300ex]

im running 4 10" MTX thunder series subs with just one 650 watt amp, two of the subs are in a sealed box while the other two are in a ported box. it sounds pretty good but i need a bigger amp

[Acid Motorsport]

I don't have a digi cam to post a pic but, I'm packin' 2 18's in my cavalier, with a Legacy 1600watt amp.

[XCpred]

I have a 12" kicker comp with a sony 1200W amp two kicker 6x9s and a jvc head unit (soon to be two cvrs and a 800 watt amp)

[flauge]

Those kicker comps sound real good for the money. I had 4 10's hooked up to a cheap sound storm 1100 watt amp in my old civic a while back. It hit pretty good.
Ive got a question tho. I want to put 3 10's or 12's in a ex. cab s10 that i just got. How would this be wired up? On those 4 10's i had i wired them series-parallel so it kept the amp at 4 ohm if i remember right. Should i wire them the same on the 3 speakers or what??:confused:
