I'm starting to build my sound system and don't know crap about electronics. I started off by getting a pioneer d3. Next, i upgraded speakers..Front speakers are 5 1/4 morel tempo coaxial. For the rears i got jbl 6x9 grand touring GTO927, 2 way speakers.

Next, i plan on ordering an amp, but I have no idea what to look for. I also plan on getting a 10" subwoofer in the near future.

What settings should i change on my deck? (HPF, LPF, subwoofer, etc..) I don't know what any of these settings. Can someone help me explain?

Please note i'm also on a budget, so don't recommend me a $1000 amplifier please. Thanks!

 

Hello there. I think I might be able to help you out. First I need to know your budget, kind of car, what music you listen to, if you want a sealed or ported box and if your electrical is stock or upgraded.

 

If this amp comes back in stock then buy it http://www.crutchfield.com/App...p=115

Subwoofer and amp you can get something like this http://www.crutchfield.com/S-a...STG12

Or this amp http://www.crutchfield.com/App...p=115 and this sub http://www.crutchfield.com/App...p=111 , but then you also need to get a box.

As far as settings on the headunit, I would recommend leaving eq flat, do not turn the bass boost up. Adjust the volume of you speakers from the amps gain ****.

 

Budget? I'm hoping to spend no more than $400 for a sub and amp, and will resort to buying used if possible.

I'm also wondering if its really necessary to get a 4 channel amp to power my speakers. Will i hear a huge difference? Is it safe to run it off the deck. All my electrical is stock. I mainly listen to hiphop/r&b..

 

For 400 dollar budget I could get you a Phoenix Gold RSd10

For a amp a high quality ample audio 500 rms to match. brand new with one year warranty on both sub and amp shipped to your door for $375.00

 

as far as installing subwoofers and amps, what do you guys recommend to have a clean install. I don't want wires hangin everywhere and later on i plan on getting some kind of custom box.
