Mtx THUNDER 8500 T8510-04
http://www.caraudioexpert.com/productView3.asp?productID=4337

Or a kicker 04S10L7

kicker in a porter box gets pretty loud

im not using a ported box im using a fiberglass box that fits where the center counsel was between my seats. btw this is for a fiero

fiero's rock. If you are going to have a box built exactly to spec, go with the kicker. I'm still an MTX whore, so I would go with tthat, though

That's going to be a really small enclosure. I have an 85 notchback and there's maybe room for a cubic foot or so in that area. I'd go kicker because it's the most shallow sub.


Beat it like it owes you money

try looking at some of the re subs they dont require a big box to run

i could fit two image dynamics 10's in 1 cubic foot.

k so im thinking about switching to the kicker. But i noticed it said its dual 4 ohm coils.. What does this mean? will it still work with my amp which is a RF p800.2 http://www.crutchfield.com/S-09LLoLm2ryP/cgi-bin/ProdView.asp?i=575G18002



Dynamic Power Rating (measured at 14.4V):

Bridged Into A 4-Ohm Load: 960 watts x 1
Per Channel Into A 2-Ohm Load: 480 watts x 2
Per Channel Into A 4-Ohm Load: 240 watts x 2
Continuous Power Rating (measured at 13.8V):

Bridged Into A 4-Ohm Load: 800 watts x 1
Per Channel Into A 2-Ohm Load: 400 watts x 2
Per Channel Into A 4-Ohm Load: 200 watts x 2

here is a relink to the kicker for the lazy ones.

Thanks for all your help guys i reallly appreciate it!

Dual 4 ohm coils means it has (2) 4 ohm voice coils. So you can wire it in series and get an 8 ohm load or parallel and get a 2 ohm load. That amp doesn't appear to be 2 ohm mono stable from Crutchfield's spec sheet, so running that in bridged mode is outta the question I think.
If there is someway to wire that into a 4 ohm load, with that 2 channel amp I am not sure.

run each sub in paralel. now each sub is 2 ohms. now wire both subs together in series, this will result in on 4 ohm connection. now bridge the amp. at 14.4 volts each sub will receive 480 watts

Ok so im getting the kicker L7. Only one not 2. Now how do i wire it? anyone got a diagram.?

Well if you are using that same amp you listed above and are getting dual 4 ohm coils then I don't think you'll be able to use it to it's full potential. With the dual 4's you can get a 2 or 8 ohm load, and that amp isn't 2 ohm mono stable. Might look into getting dual 2' ohm coils, shouldn't cost any different. Crutchfield has wiring diagrams of the "simpler" hookups.

Though if it's a stereo amp you might be able to hook each coil up to the 2 channels separately but I am not sure if that's safe. Sndsgood should know

any other ideas?

Or i should say.. How do i wire it?

bridged off the amp going directly neg from sub to amp and pos from sub to amp?


____________________
84 Fiero

and hook
coil #2 neg to amp neg. and to coil # 1 pos
coil #2 to coil #1 neg.
Coil # 1 neg to amp pos


Does that make sense?


____________________
84 Fiero

OK now i feel stupid lol.

i meant to say

coil #2 neg to amp neg.
coil #2 pos to coil #1 neg.
Coil # 1 pos to amp pos

does kicker have a dvc 2 ohm sub, then u could run the sub in series to your amp giving the amp a 4 ohm bridged load feeding the sub with 960 watts


http://www.flickr.com/photos/sndsgood/ https://www.facebook.com/#!/Square1Photography

Yes they do. Thats a good idea i never though of that makes me really think about putting another sub for the hood. Thatd be really awesome bass. front and back haha.. Thanks Oh and everyone sorry i posted about 100 times in a row. I was tired. heh
