Hi,

Some of you may remember my last thread which was about a sub enclosure, I have now sorted that out. Well the next bit would be which sub and amp shall I get?

Thanks to kind Vanilla he has helped me out with suggesting that a 10" sub would suit the style of music I listen to.

My budget is up to about £140-145 for the sub, amp and cabling. The package linked to below was suggested.

Now is that the best I can get for my money? Or is there a better deal with a different make? If not is there a cheaper shop to buy that package at?

Thanks.
 
It will be going into my Focus. Oh yes I am still using the stock speakers and my head unit is a Pioneer DEH-P5700MP.

yea looks good mate also consider a fli trap tube, its a tube designed by vibe, I have one in a 12" which retail at 150 but an internet search will get you one for 100, less if you have a 10".
I'm well chuffed with it very good quality, loud enough, not OTT like my old 2 *12" sony pentagons with a 1600watt amp (taht was a bit silly)

I remember you seemed to recommend that in my last thread also. It's the same situation still, I am wanting to build a custom box due to size constraints and that FLI Trap Tube will be too large. Thanks for the suggestion though. :)
 
Well my mate has offered me £30 for his JBL GTO75-2 amp, so i would need to get a sub to go with it. So really was just seeing whether its worth paying more then £45 (the JBL sub price) or not.
 
Tesla,

Yeah I can solder fine, soldered directly to boards before. ;) The reason why you go for larger gauge wire then is minimum is because it will give you less resistence along the wire. In otherwords you get closer to the max wattage of your sub/amp. I personally wouldnt use below 8AWG for around 20amp, which with that amp it will be.

Vanilla,

Yeah im after at improving my sound quality of my system. Yeah £20 on a wiring kit, unless I can save a lot of money building a kit myself. I think I will be wanting to save a few bob if I get my mates JBL amp, I would say around £70 would be about right.

Thanks for all this help guys.
 
Erm for the JL Audio amp in the specs it says this.

Equivalent Compliance (Vas): 1.783 cu. ft. / 50.46 liters
Effective Piston Area (Sd): 53.522 sq. in. / 0.0345 sq. m

Now is one of them telling me the amount of air in the sub i need?
