hifonics has amps in the 1Kw+ range for fairly cheap at 1 ohm

Orion has several as well

Was looking at a few...and the cheapest I found was this

It says 2 x 500 Watts/1 x 1000 Watts Output Bridged

Will that power my 2 subs? That should work right...very cheap to

I would have to say no to that amp. Its cheap...which tells you how its made.

CHEAPLY.

Look into orion or kicker to name a few. Also check out the faq section for the good, bad and ugly list.

That amp is not 1ohm stable. It does 1000w MAX (not real power) @4ohms bridged. So really, what you're looking at is a 500x1@4ohm amplifier that will probably fail fairly soon.

Hifonics BX1205D

Viper D1200.1

Orion 1200D

Kicker KX1200.1

There are several options for you to check out. All of them are nice amplifiers for a fairly affordable price range.

Wait, all of those are MONO amps, I need a 2 channel..because im getting 2 12 inch subs...do i have to much power that my subs need? so does this mean I need 2 of those mono amps?

No. Mono amps can run multiple subs..in fact mono amps are often used for the sub stage. Efficiency is a lot higher with Class D Mono amps as opposed to Class A/B.

Okay, so I can run 2 subs nice. Okay Im gunna buy the Hifonics amp tommorow...nice, im siked now, heh. Also, Im thinking about getting 2 new front speakers for a 92 honda civic...seeing as im getting subs, new head unit and amp, I'll shell out a little more for 2 front speakers...what do you suggest. My budget will be running slim now, deffinitly...Chuck E Cheese isnt cuttin it, heh.

So any decent speakers that will equal out the sound and make it a little nicer will be nice...any suggestions?


You guys are gods...


Thanks

Justin is selling a set of Elevation coax's as well as components in the for sale section.

I'd check those out.

EDIT: http://www.rockfordfosgate.com/rftech/wiringwizard.asp
check that out to figure out how to wire subs together.

Any Decent Set of Coaxials shoudl be fine. if you're not amping them you wont normally hear a huge difference between coaxials. Those Elevations would do very nicely, though.
