YAY!!! now get an amp better suited for your sub.....

what tuning is that box at? bet it sounds schweet

The amp works fine for this sub. It gives 220x2 @ 2 ohms, so the sub is getting 220 watts RMS and is only rated at 150 watts RMS. Not sure what the box is tuned at, a guy on a car audio forum made the box for me. In my old car it hit very nicely and it seems to be lacking in th tC. I blame that on the LOC. I am sure that once I get a new HU it will sound much better.

And that is 0 ga. wiring. I was a pain to run, as I have nevr run wiring that big before.

my bad, I thought all the RE's handled more power than that....

Nahm, this is the base model sub. It still sounds very good considering the low power sonsumption. I was very suprised how loud this thing gets. Most people think I have 2 12's with this sub.

This is my temp sub until I can get my real system in, hence the 0 ga so that I do not have to redo the power wire

why did you run 0ga of your amp is only getting 8ga?

SCI_TC_GUY

^^ read the post above you..... for future upgrades.... smart move!!

illiniguy

Yeah I plan on getting all new stuff within a year, so why run 8 ga and then have to rerun 0 ga later? I just ran teh 0 ga now . Now I can slowly upgrade everything else.

Right now I am thinking one 15" RE SX sub with a RE 12.1 amp and some components, prolly some elemental designs or some RE XXX components, amp for them. Havent decided on what HU yet. I have some college debt tp pay off before I buy any more mods though

^^^ what do you think about the new xxx subs?? FN crazy eh???

illiniguy

Yeah Thats what I really want, but they want like $750 for the 2006 model. The SX is only $350 for the 15" sub
