Lmao ok, sorry was in a hurry to get home from school. Ok im looking to upgrading my sub, Right now i have a 1400 watt Boss Amp, and i have it running into a 330 rms Sony Xplode 10 inch sub with a Max power of 1,100 watts. I wanna upgrade it to maybe a 500 rms subs but i wanna know if its even worth it and what i should get and need to get to run the system etcs.

cherrington17 · 02-17-2009, 03:06 PM

essentially... get an amp that closely matches your subs. RMS - RMS Peak - Peak.

going from 330-500.... not so sure you'd really notice a MAJOR difference. unless the 500 has much better clarity.

Dhoyle · 02-17-2009, 03:10 PM

im kinda a cheapo but i like planing things out *as you can see with my other threads* uhm what kind of RMS should i go for it want to start doing competions *just a thought*

Misuseofyou · 02-17-2009, 07:07 PM

Cheap gear and competitions don't really jive. Get a nice DVC sub that matches your current amp, or prepare to lay out a grand minimum.

cherrington17 · 02-17-2009, 08:47 PM

you can't do competitions cheap.

talk to ryan, or FI-alero is you want to know about setups required for comps

Dhoyle · 02-17-2009, 11:11 PM

err sorry i ment the system i have now is cheapo since im learning, i didnt want to go screw up like a $200 or more sub. Lols i really need to go back to my english class and study grammar i think lols.

Misuseofyou · 02-17-2009, 11:50 PM

Well I don't know anything about competitions, but I have two 12" subs @ 300w rms each and they shake my car pretty good. Nothing like a smoke break with full body massage at work.

Dhoyle · 02-18-2009, 08:31 AM

failllll

Dhoyle · 02-18-2009, 09:56 AM

why is it a fail?

cherrington17 · 02-18-2009, 12:14 PM

i'm not sure what comps he was doing... but 440 is SMALL

competitions usually require you to be in the 120dB bracket, if not higher. you'll never make that with 440rms.

Dhoyle · 02-18-2009, 02:23 PM

oh well he said the set up he was using got into the 134db and he could never get it over that, he said that was back when he was my age (17-18) hes 27 now. But anyways what do you guys suggest i go with then, im open to ideas and any info tips you can give me etcs will make me very thankful

cherrington17 · 02-18-2009, 02:34 PM

as i said before... for high power.. contact ryanfromohio or Fi-alero. they seem to have the most knowledge in the field.

Fi-alero actually does comps w/ his car.

if i tried helping any more, i'd be giving you biased(possibly false) info.

Dhoyle · 02-18-2009, 02:35 PM

okies thanks
