My Bad about the OHM Thing i dont know much about subs and amps but im looking at that kicker sub or this Type-R do i need to get a 800 Watt amp or a 1500 Watt amp to power it and what about the speakers in the car already do i need a amp to power those or will they still run the same way?

Jo-Psyko 06-24-2008 09:24 PM

the others will still run the same. something around 1000w would be great for an amp.

Cool thanks for all the good info, what does the amp hook into exactly, im just wondering for warranty purposes if the installer does something stupid and hooks it up wrong and it messes up something i just wanna know what could go wrong. i know it sounds odd but with the car having a 5 year warranty dont want something to go wrong and have to spend alot of money outta pocket

Some car manufactures can claim if your electrical system fails they can void the warranty if they find a system. - Ask around here for a reputable installer in your area and make sure they are insured. Power to the amp connects to the battery and ground connects to either chassis or the ground on the battery. Ask the installer if he's worked on your model year of car before. Also take photos before and after just in case the installer breaks a panel and tells you it was already like that!

Wow i didnt know 1000W amps were so expensive lol that will be the brunt of my cost.

So ill be looking for a Mono 1000W Amp and not a 2 Channel or 4 Channel amp?

Jo-Psyko 06-25-2008 02:11 PM

well you dont need 1000w hahah umm what kind of money are you looking to spend? for the whole system? you'll have to forgive me part of being into SPL is that to me what most call loud is total crap hahahah but then again my car does 147db and i think thats to quiet! hahaha so yeah shoot me a ballpark price range you are looking for.

Dyno69 06-25-2008 02:22 PM

im looking at 1,000 at most for the parts and then whatever installation costs and i wanna get the most DB for my money i guess.

Jo-Psyko 06-25-2008 02:23 PM

you can be done up pretty good for $1000. thats about how much my entire system in my car right now was including the deck... but everything i have is used hahaha.. ok let me do some looking.
