What amp do i need?
I am getting a Pyle 1000 watt dual 10'' bandpass system with neon woofer silhouette. It doesn't say anything else about it. Im ordering it online so i want to know what amp to order. Also is this a worthy system?
Also if i don't get that, im looking at a kenwood-12'' 4ohm single-voice-coil. 1200 watts and 400watt rms. What amp would i need?
ok well im looking at more subs. How do i know what kind of amp to get? Does it have to be the same amount of watts? Or what?
The Kenwood is the way to go. Go with the two Kenwood subs, throw them in a nice ported box, and pick up the Kenwood 9104D. It will run 800rms at 2Ohms, so it will be perfect for what you are wanting to do.
These will be much cleaner than the Pyle system, for several reasons, the two main being that bandpass boxes produce an booming sound, where the Kenwoods will have tight, clean reproduction, and the Kenwoods are a very respectible sub. Those neon lights might look cool to a few people, but for anyone that knows car audio, it is the first sign of a cheap, Korean import "system in a box" setup.
** If you are looking for a starter system, keep to the large production brands, (Alpine, Pioneer, Kenwood, Kicker, Rockford Fosgate). These companies will generally have amplifiers designed to run 2 of their main stream 12's.
For:
Alpine) 2 Type E 12's and an MRP-M500 amp are perfect
Kenwood) 2 W3011 12's and the 9104D amp
Kicker) 2 12" Kicker Comps and the ZX400.1
Rockford Fosgate) 2 P1S412's and the 300.1
Any of these systems are pretty good starter systems, because they are durable, easy to configure, and most of these subs can be thrown into almost any size box and sound fairly decent.
