Subwoofer Advice Needed

[JinxCanada]

I'm still seriously considering the fiber glass box with the dual 10" Alpine Type S in them. The Type S subs are pricey here and I like that the box is glass...plus it's somewhat local so I can just go pick it up. at $300.00 CAD though for used...I'm on the fence.

Most amps run down to 1 ohm, except for the Kicker amp. They don't do 1 ohm afaik. Find the sub impedance and go from there.

The 44KXA models can play all the way down to 1 ohm now.

actually I just looked at it. I'm not sure an 8" sub is going to have enough bump to fill the truck and keep up with the new Kicker speakers I'm putting in. I don't need to shake the house..but I DO want to feel it and have some punch when the music calls for it.

We install a ton of them (and CS speakers), it gives a little more bass than the Factory 8" Alpine produces. It usually blends very well with speakers. It won't win any awards but it fills in the bottom end nicely.

I appreciate that, however, I do not have a stock sub in my truck at all....and if I'm going to go through all this to upgrade my speakers etc I want to get as much bang for my money that I can. I feel like dual 10" subs will certainly fill the truck with the type of bass I'm looking for hopefully. I dont' think an 8" low powered sub would do the job for my tastes.

That's not a bad deal at all....do you think that amp is enough for those 2 drivers? this might be a good option for me as it's all included.

 

[adrianp89]

that amp is more than enough for those two woofers, that is a great deal.

 

[Graygoose]

Yes, that amp will do over 600 watts, more than enough.
When I do my system I may actually use CXA amps.

You can't beat them for the price or the footprint. I wish they had a cheap marine version of it lol, I will be ordering a KXM800.8 in a few weeks.

Nice call out. I haven't seen price pointson the new stuff, but I am still leaning towards the 800.8. My discount on Kicker stuff is pretty significant so the cost isn't much.
