Hey Guys, I've not put any car audio together for a very long time and I'm not up on what what is the most and best for the money.
I'm pretty much set on the amp I want. I just want a descent 5 channel.
I've already replace my door speaker with Rockford Fosgate R169x3 6x9s.
The amp I'm planning on is a NVX JDA900.5
The sub I need is a bit of a quandary.
In the old day when I was building a speaker project I just plugged the woofer or subs specs into WINISD. And look for a nice flat response with a -3db roll of at or near the Fs of the woofer all within a reasonable cabinet size. So I'm doing the same with several different subs and I'm seeing what looks to me as inefficient and without a good flat response in the ideal cabinet per the Thiele/Small perimeters. My first reaction was "this is junk!" but I think what I'm seeing are trade off made so the sub can survive and deliver at punishing power levels with highly boosted bottom end. What I want to avoid is "boomyness" in the bass. That is what I dislike about most car audio I have heard and it sound like sh*t to me.
Am I on the right track here?
After looking at several I've settled on the Pioneer TS-W261D4
Dual 4 ohm. I'm not a huge bass junkie. I really don't care about rattling the windows, I just want a descent and smooth bass response. Just need a single sub, and the amp should deliver better than 300w at 2 ohms.
Do you think this is a good choice or should I look elsewhere?
