System on a Tight Budget

Infinity's = great budget multi-elements and components. Infinity = ok woofers, but really not good at either SQ or SPL ... Infinity components + JBL Amps + JBL Subs = A budget masterpiece at hand! Hope this equations helps..."I don't play games. I play Nakamichi and that for real yo" - Probably some japanese kid said this in the early 80's trying to sell stereo out of his trunk lol.

just to make sure ive got my calculations right and stuff as far as impedance and power goes.. right now my kicker amp is a kx 200.2 doing some reasearch on it, i saw that its pushing 50w x 2 @ 4 ohms. if i bridged it, it would make 100w x 1 @ 4, correct (sassuming i was pushing a svc sub)? or would it be 100w x 1 @ 2?   trying to figure out if i ran a dvc sub to it what would happen, but kinda need to know the svc stuff first.

Your Kicker amp will produce 200 watts into 4 ohms when bridged.  100 watts X 1 into 8 ohms.  It cannot handle a bridged 2-ohm load.  If I had to use that amp, I'd use either a SVC 4-ohm sub or a DVC 2-ohm sub (in series for 4 ohms.)  And by the way, I disagree with the post about Infinity subs being not so good.  The Kappa Perfect line is one of the better overall SQ choices available for the price.Support the12volt.com

well...following what my ears and my wallet tell me, im really starting to lean towards audiobahns. that or some TypeR's...have yet to hear some TypeR's, however..so im gonna try and find someone who has some tho, give em a listen before anything else. *puts on flame suit*

From what I've heard..the Type R series subs are a very decent sub.Dave

It's Loud

NO!!!! NO AUDIOBAHANS!!!!!!  Porobably most everyone on this site (and w/ any car audio experience) will say stay away.  You will regret it.  Infinity amps are (unfortunately) not that great.  But like I've said time and time before go Infinity subs for your wallet restrictions (I was....well still am, in that same spot and I've got an Infinity; love every minute that it plays).  If you're wallet allows it go brahma or a used JL sub.  Both are great IMO.  But something tells me uthink will disagree w/ me. 

You could do two Kappas or one Brahma. Stay away from the audiobahn stuff, you will regret it...

why? they just blow quickly? or..?

Yeah blow very easily.  And just don't have any sq.  It's all spl (while they last).  You work at Circuit City right?  Well run one of those subs for about an hour or two at their rms value (given it will be loud, but if they will then try it) I promise they will blow well before an hour or two (or just stop playing).  Like someone said before it's only a chromed turd
