I just installed new head unit, 4 new speakers, and right now Iam looking for a sub and an amplifier. Can anyone recommend what brand and model of a sub/ amplifier should I look for? Which one's have good quality and will last me for a while? Also what specs should I look for in them? <BR>Anyone has any opinions on that?

I have JL Audio subs and they are really good. I have had them for about 5 years now and push them VERY hard every day and have had no problems with them. They look and sound just like they did they day I bought them. I know that most people who use JL audio subs use either a Fosgate Punch amp or a Precision Power (PPI) amp. Both amps are well known and are EXCELLENT quality.

how many channel amp should I look for? and how many subs : 1 or 2.

you have any idea what is the exact model number of those amps?

HEY...<BR>med priced subs---get JL audio.<BR>high priced-- get INFINITY<BR>amps--well any name brand is good...<BR>

I know that 90% of the peeps on this board are now going to put me on their "people to kill" list, but JL audio is good, but not as good as everyone thinks. KingFisher knows what he's talkin about with the Infinity. They blow the hell out of JL, and as for mid prices subs, Kenwood, or Pioneer. The Kenwood eXcelon dB+ or the Pioneer VCCS Pro DVC, are both $219 each for 12" and $199 each for 10". They are WELL worth the $$$$. Run a good amp to them (Kenwood, or MTX) and they will thump the hell out of your car.

i agree that infinity is a great company. i love their highs! the subs do lack the spl power JL has though. infinity perfects are great SQ subs, but they have a chronic problem. the voicecoils heat up really quick and really hot. many times the cone is damaged(melted). i'd take jl subs over infinity's.

Well i finally got my lazy a-- up tofay and put in my sub, so my sound system is complete. it includes:Pioneer 6.5 componte package in the front, piooner 6.5 3-way in the back with the pioneer deh-7300 head unit. for my sub and amp i have an audiobahn aw1200x(12)700watt and a 1100 watt fire-and-ice amp. it sounds so good!

good on you!!<BR>i'm waiting 'till saturday for a professional install - need to as i have no real skill in this area. i'm going clarion for the cd deck and speakers all round. my '92 has all original components and they are shot!<BR>can't wait till saturday...

If you put 2 10" Infinity Kappa's up against 2 10" JL's, I'm almost certain the Infinity will SPL higher than the JL. But as I said, I don't know alot about JL, all I know is I don't like 'em.

Their head units are OK, but their speakers are bunk. I'd go for the Pioneer IMPP 450W subs. They are nice.
