$120 shipped for a pair. Tough to beat that. But on that note, Kristen, just how much bass are you looking for? Because a single 10" will dominate the amount of bass the stock system outputs. (Monsoon or not) Maybe a single 12"? One less subwoofer to buy and one less subwoofer to power. Save you some money. $$$$

2 subs is just an excxuse to add components and another amp ;) DO IT!

i have a audiobahn aw1200n in my camaro now it cost me 100 bux off of ebay.It could handle about 700 watts rms so if u want alot of bass or little you can pretty much do it with that sub....mine in the way i had the box built hit harder then most systems around here with 2 12's in them....if you want even a sigle sub its gonna be to much for the stock speakers so just go out and get a cd player n speakers. then go with the sub's amps etc so that you can hear what your playing not just the bass......amps are important to dont just buy a cheap amp because ur trying to save money....you want clear power..amps will prolly be the most expencive thing you will buy..i put a whole system together for about a 1,000.....cd player(pionier Dont ever get one) amp sub (Audiobahn) box (custom 3.3 cuft of space) wiring(2 gauge) gold connectors capacitator speakers(dls for sq) its easy to spend a grand just on basic stuff....

95firebird311 - those look good, now will i need an amp with that? as for the bass, i don't want something that is going to be heard a mile away. i want it to be there when i want it. if you know what i mean.

[CAMAROWIDBASS]

Kristen, yes you need an amp for that sub. For anything over 8'' really you need an amp.

I think you would benefit from a ported box, since it can be larger and you have all that space back there.

[kristen]

so what else would i need to get these

[CAMAROWIDBASS]

by saying these im assuming you want to go with 2 of then? Well you wont be able to go with that verion because their dual 2 ohm coils, your looking to go dual 4.

These are dual 4 ohm, once you wire them in parallel it will end up with a 1 ohm load on the amp. http://cgi.ebay.com/2-NEW-Kicker-CVR...QQcmdZViewItem


For the amp go with this one:

it will push the subs just right. Are you also upgrading your stock speakers? Or just doing subs?

Although very misleading, that is correct for the Viper amp that you linked to. Which by the way, is a great deal. If I was Kristen, I'd go with the amp/subs that CAMAROWIDBASS has suggested. [img]smile.gif[/img] Gonna be tough to beat that without spending more $$$. Kristen, when you receive your subwoofers and amp, you'll want to wire them as follows:

Yes you could.

You might be able to wire it like this. However, when running @ 1 ohm it might sound crappy. So in the end you might have to go back to wiring it with the other configuration. Which would yield about 125RMS to each subwoofer.

BUT there are many other great deals for sub/amp setups.

Also, do you have an aftermarket HU? If not its probably best that you get one also.

WHat are your intention for subs?

"Bump" or just more "full" sound?

[96firebird311]

Please note that the auction is for a PAIR of subwoofers. Not just one. Wouldn't want you buying two...and ending up with 4 subwoofers. [img]smile.gif[/img]

The amp you linked to is the Viper D600.1. It outputs 600 watts into a 1-ohm load. (Which you will be using) Where's this 350 watts you speak of?

Also note that whichever subwoofers and amp you settle on, buy a reputable brand name. Just because the box says 500 watts doesn't mean anything. Viper is a trustworthy name that will actually do the rated power.

[kristen]

well this the amp camarowitbass listed
http://ikesound.com/product-product_id/2426

and with these subs
http://cgi.ebay.com/2-Brand-New-Kick...QQcmdZViewItem

is there anything else that need to get or have to worry about.


when i get them do i just wire them up and stick them right in

[mwh27]

^^^^^

Lots of various wire and fuses.

And a HU that has RCA preouts.

4g amp kit
2 Battery Terminals

And yes, if your still using the stock CD player.... you'll need to swing by a local install shop and buy a line output converter. This will convert the regular speaker wires from your CD player into RCA plugs...which is what the amp needs. If you already have an aftermarket CD player, then it should already have RCA outs on the rear. [img]smile.gif[/img]

[articacid]

yeah you might want to get a wiring kit. i like knuconcepts. this is a good complete kit:

also as mwh27 said, you want a head unit for best sound quality. you can use a oem-pac1 but it will not sound very good.
