System on a Tight Budget

Wow this thread got damn long real quick, the only one I remember seeing longer is one of the audiobahn bashing posts and the one where a gu was fiberglassing the back of his mustang and it looked like a monster took a big bondo sh*t in the trunk. I would ask Stephan about this being he is the resident Adire expertdouble-secret reverse-osmosis speaker-cone-induced high-level interference distortion, Its a killer

so if i was running the shiva, which is 8ohm dvc, i could wire it to be 4 ohms to a mono amp, right? and with the jbl amp (which for now, im convinced is the best bang for the buck amp) that is 600.1 (300w x 1 @ 4ohms, or 600w x 1 @ 2ohms), it would run the 300w x 1 @ 4ohms, right? then if i decided to add another shiva down the road, i could lower the impedance down to 2 ohms? is my math correct on this? im still kinda new to everything, especially the wiring of dvc subs.

you are 100% correct. You get a cookie :)double-secret reverse-osmosis speaker-cone-induced high-level interference distortion, Its a killer

hm..i think i just decided on my setup then just gotta read up on boxes. OH. also. what size of wire should i run? im assuming my 8 gauge isnt gonna be enough, especially if i decide to add another sub.

Id use 4 gauge for your set up. That way you have the option of upgrade later on as well, ie mabye an amp for the speakersdouble-secret reverse-osmosis speaker-cone-induced high-level interference distortion, Its a killer

anyone know where else i could get the JBL BP-600.1 amp or something comparable from for around the same price? sounddomain is all out *smacks his forhead*

wow i thought they still 600.1s left..the next cheapest way would be to check ebay i believe.I'll keep a look out for a cheap one.Dave
