I am going to order it ASAP if it can...if not..ill be sad

 

If I were you, i havnt looked at all the reviews or anything but with the specs of your subwoofer(its the quad voice coil one isnt it?) I would get the PowerAcoustik Class D Series #A2400DB mono block amp. The one you have listed wouldo verpower the subwoofer by 300 watts rms and might damage it after a bit. In my opinion the PowerAcoustik Class D Series #A2400DB would be a better match. Remember to wire it so it puts a 2 ohm load with that amp I provided.

 

i forgot to also say that the amp I provided would only underpower the sub by 100 watts but your amp would over power it by 300. the sub can hold 1500 all together and your amp puts out 1800rms and the one i showed putsout 1400. with the amp i provided its a safer bet.

 

thanks for the help..ill look into the other amp.

Believe me I have replaced more blown speakers on "underpowered" systems then I have on "overpowered systems, [100s of x more] 94

 

One more thing, you are going to need one hell of a sub box for that setup, no off the shelf sub box that I know of is going to work. 94

yeh..im getting one custom built probably this week or next week.

do u think 1'' mdf would be good enough for this setup?

 

Yes I would use 1" MDF I would also brace every seam, "paint" the inside of box and the cut edges, [including the speaker hole and speaker term. hole] with fiberglass resin to seal it up, I would also use "T" nuts and blots to mount the sub instead of screws, or make the baffle 2" thick and use 2" number 10 screws. 94

hopefully the people that are building my box know as much as you...its a reputable shop that everyone goes to for their BIG audio needs..circuit city n est buy dont cut it...but i dont know their ways because this is my first setup n i just went to them the first time this week. hopefully they build good custom boxes...for freaking 175 dollars it better not break on me or else they can see their wood fly through their windows...jk im not violent

 

LOL..... $175 for a box for that sub, we would charge $300 and that would be the raw box, no paint or carpet, and you would have to install the sub yourself.

I would maybe just ask them how they are going to build it, just using 1" MDF is not going to cut it, although it will work and I don't think it will fall apart, but to get everything out of that amp and sub, the box will have to be "bullet proof" 94

 

ill be sure to check up on their methods before paying them anything..

any more tips to help me out with this ...my goal is to have it all in by 2 weeks..

as for wiring...how big do i need to go..im thinking im gonna need big *** monster cables...

 

Well at 1800W rms you are going to need 2ga power and ground cable.

Tell me what size and kind of fuse/s are in the amp? 94
