I agree Tomas free air subs usually use low amounts of power due to the ease with which the cone moves. | |

That is VERY wrong. A 50wrms amp WONT kill a 200wrms sub IF its set up correctly. Its all to do with clipping which overheats the coil. So long as the amp is set up so that it doesnt clip then you are fine. As for more power the same rule applies, so long as its clean it shouldnt kill the sub. Granted the sub wont last as long but it wont kill it. Ive ran a 500wrms sub with a SOLID 850/900wrms before for 12months. The sub never got damaged. Right now im running a pair of 12's rated at 300wrms each with 550wrms each and no problems... Its to do with setting the amp up properly. LOTS of people dont know how to adjust gains correctly! | |

if u power a sub higher or lower than its rated rms i.e runnin a 300w rms sub off a 150 amp or a 600watt amp it will fuck up the sub, i suppose if u run it a low volumes it will be allright but if ur amp is too power full u will just blow ur sub. u want an exact match or an amp that is slightly more powerfull. | |

about the same price as any other, although get something decent...ie: not kenwoods free air subs, but you will find that most decent ones will need loads of power, like 800wRMS and of free air subs you cant really go much lower that the RMS rated wattage. | |

i remember a french bird having a purple corsa, who had a 18" in the parcel shelf that was on hydrolics - lifted up to reveal amps underneath. Its was some crazy mofo shit :lol: | |

jus make a box under the shelf. u wont be able to lift the shelf tho. js remove the shelf, and point the subs upwards if u reall want em pointing upwards. | |

if u want it louder getlonger excursion/bigger diameter subs or port the ones you have. I just wudnt reccomend a shelf. | |

well i just wanted it to be louder and thought that was the way 4ward, or maybe i should have the subsfacing up, and not have a shelf? | |

hmm u CAN do it but i wouldnt. I had a single alpine 10" type-s sub in a shelf in a nova and it was heavy enough to break the side plastics and cause all kinda trouble. You would also need free air capable subs and to make sure the amp power closely matchs the subs. | |
