with which amp?

 

is this too much power to have without an capacitor? i dont want to stress my car's electrical system or shorten the life of any of its components. would run at 2ohms.

looks like you can get a 1200 watt system pretty cheap there. nice find. i need a 10" sub and prefer. not that much power.

 

what do you guys think of refurbished amps off ebay? more specifically a kicker 750.1 or 1000.1?

 

i think im gonna try and put a 10" icon in a drivers side coupe 4080 box with an amp in the 750-1000 range. anyone know if the icon will fit? if i need a spacer, where do i get those at? thanks

 

just called the guys at 4080enclosures.com and he said some ppl have put the icon in the drivers side box so i just thought id let everyone know. thats what he said anyway, ill verify when i put the system in my car.

 

Really look and check them out. You can find a decent amp and sub combo for under $400 I'm sure. They do a lot of testing and give you recommendations on what to get also.

well i'm running a jl audio 500/5 amp and i've already had to replace my alternator and battery once.. but i'm not really sure if its due to the amp, wear and tear, my supercharger or everything put together lol

but since the replacement about 2 years ago.. its been perfectly fine

it all depends on how you're gonna wire the sub also 4,2 or 1 ohm.. and the amp your looking at is rated 300w, 600w and 1000w respectively...

my opinion.. anything over 500watts.. look into a deep cycle battery, 1+ farad cap and maybe even a high-output alternator just to be safe

 

i planned on 1ohm. how much are high output alts for these cars? for some reason i think i remember seeing the alt underneath the car when i was changing oil and thinking it would be a pita to change

 

second guessing myself, may go this route at 4ohms instead to save money and less amps pulled from the car battery

yea that should sound pretty decent.. i've haven't heard about dayton subs in awhile.. they're pretty good from what i can remember... sounds like you got a plan! great find btw! good luck!
