So I'm installing my system... just need to decide on a place for the Rockford Fosgate F p8002 amp I'm using to power my 2 10" RF p3s. I don't really want to lose my spare tire due to how much highway driving I do. So aside from removing the spare tire and mounting the amp on the back of the box... ANY IDEAS?!




Deck: Pioneer 8600MP
Amp: Rockford Fosgate P8002
Subs: Rockford Fosgate P310D4(400 rms 800 peak)
Cap: Rockford Fosgate 1.0 Farad
Wiring: 4 Guage to the amp

 

how about the storage compartment to the right of the spare tire? i'm thinking of putting one there.....

 

he said he doesnt want to put it there

 

Well I ended up installing it all.. and it's INSANE. I'd honestly say the two p3's are a little too much. I don't want the bass to drown out the mids and highs. I ended up just sitting the amp on the left side of the box... So the box is sitting off center to the right. The fun part was running the positive lead from the battery.... there's a large bundle of wires under the drivers side closer to the center of the dash that had a 3 inch diameter gasket for about an inch thick bundle of wires. Just put it through there... after that spraying some windex helped to pull the rest of the wire through.... just a note I thought I'd add

 

i had my amp installed under the passenger seat, i have a single P1 sub and box, soon to upgrade to P2s but amp under teh seat saves a lot of space and mess.
peace

 

nice setup, almost like mine..i got the pioneer 8600 and 1 10" punch 3 sub. one of those is more than enough for me in this car.

 

yeah.....i have 2 JL w3's in the JL HO wedge box....this week I'm building an amp rack to the back of my box and am goin to mount my fosgate 501s (for subs) my 301s(for components) and my crossovers to it.....BTW i have JL VR650-CSi's.....

 

he said he didn't want to lose the spare, i said to the right of the spare

 

i have my amp mounted next to the spare tire as you can see in this link... looks clean and havent had a problem with over heating.

Nice dude.. did you have to chip out any of that foam to make room for it?

 

Great news for me. That's exactly where I wanted to put my amp and my cap on the left side.

 

check out mine i did the same thing as T1R TC it works good i havent had any over heating problems and i have had it in there since sept. 2004 and i drive my ____ hard almost all the time i have taken 1 hour road trips pounding hard (i have to drown out the road noise and the loud ___ engine when going 70) almost all the way with no problems

almost forgot its on my cardomain page

 

Sounds good. Btw, what do you guys think of this system that I'm looking to buy? The subs should rock but I'm not sure about the amp only because of the price to watts ratio.

SUBS: 2 Kicker S10L5 10" subs. 900 watts each (450rms).
AMP: Blitz Audio BZA2560. 1800watts (900 x2) http://www.rhinotronics.com/index.cf...ent%20Rods.htm

If someone who knows about amps could check out that link and tell me if the amp is good or not, that would help me out a lot.

 

2 8" l7 would sound way better with the sq kickers i noticed once you get to any size besides 8" they start to sound funny when they hit and since we dont have a trunk to filter out the noise your going to want a sub that hits realy clean 2 8"l7 would be thoughs subs as far as that amp i wouldnt buy it only becouse it is a company i havent heard of before and it looks realy cheap if i were you i would go with this right here http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...18781&tc=photo its a little more but well worth it it would drive 2 l7 or even l5 perfect they are both 2 ohm subs and this thing puts out 700 watts rms at 2 ohm if you wanted to take the car to a comp. then you could run them at 1 ohm and get the 1000 watt rms out of this amp it woulnt hurt the sub my friend has his 12" l7's running at 1 ohm all the time but kicker wont warrenty the subs if they are run at 1 ohm

thats off of hifonics site this ebay seller has his #'s wrong most of the time but he is a legit seller my friend just got his 2 12" alpine type x subs he ordered them from him on monday and got them saterday.

 

wait i just read up on that blitz amp dont get it for sure it is only putting out 220 watts rms per chanel

 

What size is that area to the right of the spare?

 

not really big enough for an amp, probably have to do some cutting. I had to... I put a laptop down there for my carputer

 

One of my amps was mounted in the hatch.... But not anymore..New system going in tomorrow...

 

Where do you see that? Where I'm looking it puts out 900 watts each if routed to 2 channels.

aarontrini85: It looks like that amp only has 1 channel. Also, where did you see that the 10" L5 subs performed poorly? Did you see this many times or just once? And if it was only once then what setup did they have? Did they use the kicker box? I'm just trying to be sure.

 

i had an l5 in a 1cubic foot seald box in my stratus it didnt performe porly it hit had it just didnt sound good. i have also installed on in my friends 2004 cavalier and it also didnt sound good they make a rubbing noise when they hit its the rubber on the sub that does it even the l7's do it

as far as the amp the info is here http://www.blitzaudio.com/manuals/BLITZAMP.pdf look for that amp in there it is only doing 220 watss rms it seems like a pos to me but hell its your money
