I got the 10W3v2-D6... so dual

Okay thats really simple then wire the sub in parralel, the voice coils +s together and -s together, then to the amp. That will get your sub running at 3ohms, which will give it the full 500 watts, but watch your gain, cause thats alot of power for a W3. But ya you are good to go!

Thanks a lot... this will all be going on in the next month.

A whole new system, head unit, subs, and radar detector/jammer.... wish me luck!

[Nikos95]

Heh, Good luck...

Not looking forward to doing mine! *EEK*
But I can't wait to hear this Denon Profesional series amp I just got for it though, supposed to just be amazingly clean!

KAC-9102D what about that amp instead of the jl? I'm having trouble getting a decent deal on the jl

[Nikos95]

Kenwood, that is a powerful little amp, but it wont really give you the full kick like the JL. You will lose a bit of sound quality for sure there, probably not alot on subs alone, unless all your equipments is really high end, and you listen to really clean recorded music, *clasical or something alike*. But all in all that amp will do the trick. How much were you thinking about spending on an amp, maybe I can take a look at a bunch of places I know and see what I can dig up and give you some links.

I want to spend something around $200-300 for an amp

looking at elemental designs NINe.1 as well

I found this one here go ahead and take a look. Its their top model amp, and they are a really well known and respected company, if you didn't already know.

That amp will put out 600 watts rms to any ideadance between 1-4ohms, so 600 watts into your sub at 3ohms, plenty more than enough to fulfill your desires [img]smile.gif[/img]

what about those? That place is right down the street so I can pick it up locally (a huge plus) or get it shipped (it's actually a 20 min drive) for not too much more and it comes next day.

off that website, which 6x9 or 6.5" woudl you recommend (to replace my blown ones in the rear seats)

MRP-M650 not the MRD-M605 D...

It may be a year older from alpine, but that 1 yr older V12 amp, is twice what the new one is, plus you save like $20 [img]smile.gif[/img] Great AMP GREAT price!

These Alpine Type S, work great off a little power, they don't require you to use an external amp and put out decently, they have great midrange soft highs, and even a little punch tight bass.

These Alpine Type R, they will work well off a little power but will take the power if you want an amp like crazy, they sound very even and smooth, and will produce a suprisingly deep and solid bass note with a good amp.

Infinity, personally I am not a fan of the Reference line, I think their tweeters get shrill and uneven when the volume goes up. These Kappa's on the other hand, stay pretty smooth, the highs are a little louder than the highs from the Alpines, and they don't hold midrange quite as well.

Personally I would probably get the Alpine Type R's but take a gander, and see which one will work for you the best here.

I ended up getting Boston Acoustics SL 65s for the back, and amp will be decided when I install the whole thing.

Nice choice didn't see those there. Bostons sound really sweet and full.
