that could be the same grommet. it comes threw right now to the brake pedal. works real good for cables and wiring cause its so big.

 

Found this amp and it comes with an amp kit too. 250w RMS per channel and my subs are 150w RMS. This should make my subs bump if the gains are set correctly right?

is this a decent amp? im trying to save as much money as possible

 

Don't do the Crunch.

A little more info about your current setup would is needed to properly assist with equipment selections.

We know from your previous post that you have two Kicker comp subs waiting to be installed. I am going to assume they are both 4ohm single voice coils? This means you would run wire them for either a 2ohm or 8ohm load. 2ohm is your best choice with your budget.

If you want just an amp for the subs then, based upon two 2ohm single voice could subs each with 150 RMS and peak of 300, I would recommend a class D mono amp. I would say around 400 RMS from the amp at 2ohm would be good. You won't use all of the power any you can run the amp gains low to keep the power clean.


Here are some choices to consider just on specs alone. I can't comment on to how well they will actually perform. I would say google each one and see what others have to say.

Thanks I know how to match up subs and amps, I was just asking if the Crunch was good or not since it was so cheap. I had a feeling it was too good to be true and searching later on confirmed that.

this amp should be good. 400RMS at 2 ohm, CEA-2006 compliant, and comes with an amp kit

I am sorry if I came across as talking down to you for that was not my intention.

I had a Kicker 10ZX500.1 running a single Image Dynamics ID10 and it performed very well.

Some people will hate on Kicker but I had no complaints with that amp.

Also, almost every Kicker amp will do more than rated.

With the inclusion of a wiring kit I don't think you could go wrong.

 

No sweat.

I am a noob after all. Sooo so far, I have my subs already, and I have the amp picked out. I just need to order the amp and this box:


http://caraudiofactory.com/20002003-...nded-p-55.html

 

I ordered the amp not too long ago. I am going to save a little up before I buy the box though.

 

I have the amp and wiring, I just need to buy a box for my truck now. I want to know if I have all the wiring for the install.



speaker wire, remote wire, fuse. Since I have two subs, do I need two speaker wires? I have one but that would only hook up one sub right?



Ground, power wire, RCA cables



connectors, screws, grommets

 

If you want to know a good place to put the amp, I put mine behind the rear seats mounted on the cab wall. Easy to do, just takes a little work unlatching the back seats. Once you have them unlatched, use a zip lock(correct?) to compress the lever so it comes off easier in the future.

 

Im going to put it under the driver seat most likely.

 

So I bought this after I fried my Hi-fonics amp and so far it has preformed well. Used it in my mustang to run 1 12" mtx 7500 series. I fact I bought one for my brother in law bc hes in highschool(no job) and wanted to help him out with his stereo but didnt want to break the bank. I got mine at Frys and added the 3 yr full replacement warranty for an additonal $7. $ to watt ratio its a good deal.

 

I ordered the box. It should be here sometime next week and then hopefully on sunday, a friend of mine is going to show me how to install the system.

 

Very cool.

I want pics

 

before wire installed:


After wire installed:


Wire travels from the passenger side of engine bay to the driver side and drops down between the wheel well and then through a grommet under the cab of the truck.




Then hidden under the carpet and floor panels:



And finally pulled through hole in carpet under the driver seat:

 

Just have to wait until Wednesday to install my subs since thats when my box gets here.
