Hello all,
I am going to help my cousin with an install for his 2008 infiniti g35 sedan with a bose system that includes a 10in subwoofer in the back.
1. I was told that the best way to receive a signal is to tap into the preexisting subwoofer and install a line out converter to receive RCA outputs for the amp... is this correct? where would I find a wiring schematic?
aside from that we were trying to be on the cheaper side for a system that has moderate power.
we chose a dual voice coil 4 ohm alpine type x, 12 inch and an alpine mrp-m1000 amp that supplies 1000 watts RMS at 2 ohms and 600 at 4. We want it to run at 2ohms to give more power so we plan on wiring it in parallel like this:
2. will this achieve an overall 2ohm load to give the subwoofer the 1000watts RMS?
3. is this the best bang for your buck for a 12inch woofer or can you suggest an alternative that is in a similar price range (its ~$240 sub, ~$250 amp, still looking for a box)
4. what kind of box would we need for this sub, ported or sealed to achieve the best medium between sq and spl. I know there is some program where you plug in numbers but I am highly unsure about how to use it.
thank you greatly in advance for your time!
