First car, first system.. Advice would be appreciated!
I just got a car, my first car actually. It's a 2002 oldsmobile alero. I wanted to get a system put into it within the coming weeks and needed some help just to make sure I'm getting equipment that will run well together! I already have bought all the wiring I will need and have a JVC headunit so the amp and subwoofers are the next things on my list. These are what I have in mind:
Subs: Rockford Fosgate Punch P1 P1-2X12 Dual 12" Loaded Subwoofer Box Amp: Kenwood KAC-9105D (kac9105d) 1800W Class D Monoblock Amplifier I picked that amp understanding that both subs would be sharing the same channel, thus receiving half the power, and at 4 ohms (thats just specs on the site). I don't want to overpower too much but at the same time I want the get the very most out of them that I can. The only stipulation being that I've read wiring the sub up in parallel will cut the ohms in half and running them in series will double it. I don't want to double the ohms, because 900 watts from that amps is almost double the RMS of the subs combined. At least I THINK I wouldn't want to do that, lol. But I also don't want to cut the ohms to 8 because then the amps only pushing 250, and I'm not sure whether the subs will be sharing that 250 or if it's each. If it's each, thats a perfect amount of power. But again I'm new to all this so I wanted to hopefully learn some stuff from some professionals and experienced guys here! What do you all think? |

That amp has the ability to put our 0 to ~ 900 watts rms, just lower your gain accordingly.
Have you already bought these items or are you just thinking of buying them? |
