Hey all!
I wanna start my subwoofer and amp project soon and was wondering if I could get some help from the resident audio gurus out there.
I want to put this sub into my car above the spare tire:
http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/p...B,00.html?compName=PNA_ProductDetailComponent
It's a shallow mount (4" mounting depth) 12 inch subwoofer rated at 4Ohms, 1200W max, 300W nominal.
Anyways I'm not very good with all this Ohm-age and watt-age stuff. If someone could explain to me how I would choose an amp for this sub that would be compatible with the stock head unit it would be great!
Is nominal Wattage the same as RMS wattage? I was looking at this amp:
http://www.crutchfield.com/S-grgx4G...=0&cc=01&g=130&id=essential_info&i=500MRDM300
It's a pretty small unit and I was planning on putting it under the passenger seat or somewhere hidden.
Anyways my goal is to place a sub much like Shajan did so that I can keep my spare tire. I like to keep my cargo space. I also want something with more kick and I think this 12" will do it. It's a brand new sub that has just been released (shops don't even have them in stock yet) but once they do I plan on getting it. I'll be doing most of the install myself minus a few things (cutting out the circle in my floor board, etc.)
Thanks in advance. Looking forward to reading all your replies!
