Thinking about getting a sub and the flyers just came today....



Prices are in Canadian , it's worth it?

 

just make sure they are the dual voice coil reference subs and make sure the amp is stable at 2ohms while pushing 250-300 watts. those are 250 rms subs.

and if it is dual voice coil, then it's worth it?

Thanks

 

im pretty sure it is just a single voice coil, i would try and get the dual voice coil subs though if i were you, that would match to the amp nicely. if it is a svc (single voice coil) then you need an amp stable at 4 ohms and pushing 250-300 watts rms. dvc (dual voice coil) subs are worth it because you can wire them a couple of ways so you have more amp choices, they go for about 100 a piece here in the us without the box, but sometimes there are buy one get one free sales. i have a 12 inch infinity dvc reference sub and i love it to infinity. 10's sound really good as well. i should have bought the 10. as long as you match the sub specs to the amps then you should be fine.

alright thanks for the response, so basically I should look for a DVC....

 

well if you can find an amp that matches nicely to the svc then you can get the svc, you should not buy the setup you listed though. i don't think there is any sound difference between dvc and svc.

Alright, Well i'm going out today to browse and see what there is out there for me, I just want something to give me some bass, my speakers can only give so much...

Prices are in Canadian , it's worth it?</TD></TR></TABLE> Pricing is OK but it is really the wrong amp for that sub, [about 50W short]. IMO a 300W amp would be better, even a 250W, [better to be over-powered then under-powered]

As I said 300W would be better IMO. 94

 

I agree with FCM. The sub would be nice. I have a Rockford Fosgate 900watt max, 300 watt RMS amp for sale if your interested. Has the extended 4 year warranty on it too. PM me if your interested.

the dual voice coil infinity reference you can wire to 2 ohms thus making it match the amp.

What should I get for a sub and amp?

Looking to spend under $400 Canadian

Thanks, Alot

 

i would stick with that infinity 10 inch sub with the sealed box and find an amp that puts out 250-300 watts rms into 4 ohms.

You may want to look into getting a ported box too...
