2 fronts = 2 channels right? would i have to get a 4 channel amp then, to connect the sub?

nah get a mono amp for the sub.

 

[jretro23]

so run the stock amp for the speakers and a mono amp for the sub is what you're saying?

 

[krazyl3gz]

If you want to use one amp you can always pick up a sundown 4 channel. Use two channels for the fronts, bridge the other two channels. You'd have to pickan efficient subwoofer though.

 

[mr monday niight]

Nah. get a 2 channel amp for the speakers. and a mono for the sub

 

[jretro23]

best recommendation budget friendly?

just want the factory bass back that i lost, nothing king kong status.

[mr monday niight]

No.

[jretro23]

There a few Punch subwoofers in the Rockford line-up...How old are they, whats the model #?
Even if they are the latest in great condition, you probably wont get more than 150 for the pair max...

Chances are your factory amp puts out more clean power than the headunit, so wire them that way.

So you recommend this sub over a Fi Q12? I probably can build a box, what kind of measurements would I be looking at? If I cant though, could you recommend aplace to get one

 

[mr monday niight]

i'd recommend the idmax over the q not the idq, though.

could you fit 3-3.2 cubes ported for the q?

 

[amadeusz13]

Yea I can fit that box, any suggestions?. Is there anyway I could get a cheaper deck, or will it diminish the sound?

 

[mr monday niight]

I would honestly stick with that deck. 4 volt preouts, burr brown dac's..deck is just awesome

 

[amadeusz13]

Thanks a lot man, really appreciate the help

 

[mr monday niight]

If you get the q, get the dual 2 so it can be wired to 1 ohm...get bp power too incase you ever wanna throw a full 1500w at it..

If you ever do plan on going active(you can with the 9887) i would get a 4 channel amp now instead of worrying about selling the 2 ch down the line.
