need some subs for my car but not sure which to get.?
Question by josh: need some subs for my car but not sure which to get.?
i have a 2000 explorer so firstly space isnt a big issue. i had 2 12inch rockfords 400 rms but my rockford bd1001 blew them after a long long drive, im guessing they just overheated. money isnt a huge issue but im not looking to spend too too much. i had diamond subs before and i really liked them but im not sure how well they can hold up, i dont want to have to buy new ones because they overheated and died. ive been looking around for other subs and come across a brand called massive audio. now i dont know much about them but the 12 i was looking at was 2000rms and 6000 peak. now that is a bit of overkill imo, but im sure it would handel the bd like nothing. so what would you suggest? also would it be best to go 1 12 inch? 2 12’s? assuming if i got 1 12 it could handle the 1000+ watts where if i went 2 12’s combined they would handle the power, such as something like 500-600 rms each. sorry for the long post. thanks!

bazooka tubes don’t hit hard at all. if you want something 500 to 600rms, go with some kicker L5’s. Now those hit hard. i honestly think that 2 12’s will produce more bass though, but you could also look into infinity kappa’s as well. These are more pricey subs but they will get the job done and last a long time.

September 8th, 2012 at 8:05 pmIf your total system power is 1000 watts RMS or more, you will need to:
1. Upgrade the alternator to a high output alternator
2. Upgrade to a heavy duty deep cycle battery
3. Upgrade the “Big 3” – that is to replace the power wire between the battery and alternator, the ground from the battery to the chassis and the ground strap from the engine/tranny to the chassis with at least 1/0 AWG wire.
Failure to do this will result in you replacing them anyway as the alternator will eventually fail.
Here is a guide that will calculate what size alternator and power wires you need http://www.datafilehost.com/download.php?file=6d26c621
