yeah i never have any engine noise in mine. The only time I have any noise is when it's really cold out ??? dunno, and its only when the CD player is turning on. chrisfun8806, you should go to: http://www.caraudio.com they have a list of the top 10 cheapest places to get stereo stuff.

 

Alpine Equitment is ok. i work at a stero shop and i was reading a little early someone was looking at the civic with the single sub in the vehical and the only problem with that is that looked to be a mid bass driver witch in some ways will still produce a High pass note and this will through off your staging in the carmusic is recorded to play from side to side just no room for a middle unless a processer is added there are plenty of ways to do a sub and not mess up the trunk any question on how post and let me know

 

i will worn the few out there who do care also that the internet is a big problem in the car audio world today many companies that i sell such as memphis JL audio Boston acoustics and many more DO NOT WARRENTY INTERNET SALES so do yourself, andthe people who do still care about the customer a favor andcome to a shop get it done rite and buy product that will be taken care of if it messes up

 

Your last two posts were the hardest things I've had to read in years

 

Itkenbo i really like ur setup. I think i will do pretty much the same as you[8D]
but instead i will have a mrp-m450 for the mono amp to power my sub - with my sub being the SWS-1243D. Not as good as yours but thats what my budget can afford~~

Thanks for showing your setup it has helped me decide.

 

Hey guys I have a question about impedence on subs. If the amp i was looking at has 400W RMS x 1 [2ohms@14.4V 1% THD], which sub would be better

a dual 4-ohm impedance

or just a 4-ohm impedance.


basically what is the difference between dual and single, and how should i choose.

 

If you wanna run it at 2ohms you need the dual 4 ohm voice coils so you can run the coils in parallel (1/R1 + 1/R2 = 1/R3). (1/4 + 1/4 = 1/2 = 2ohm impedance.
