tbh he doesnt seem much bothered, get one of those stupidly cheap shite amps off ebay they will make the subs work and that seems to be what he wants | |

If you dont want to fork out loadsa money for an amp, sell the subs on ebay, you will prob get a bit more than what you paid for them (the same at least), then buy another cheaper sub + amp. | |

the subs and amp were in a car my m8 bought , and the subs were working in the car , but he sold the car and kept all the shit from it , sold it to me , so i thought the subs would be running off the amp which was in the boot with it , but it obviously wasnt , but for £40 im not gunna say no! | |

you need to set a budget for what you buy. If you buy the subs and cant afford the amp, then why get them? Dont use a cheap shit amp cos then you will burn the coils on your subs. | |

quote: aye this is what i thought mate, but apparently he can control the volume from the dvd/hu thingy. Only thing he wont have will be radio but apart from that, i cant see anything wrong with it....although it only has one 2v preout, so a line driver would be the way forward :) | |

The correct way around this would be to stop where you are, save some money and do it properly. | |

quote: well im guessing it will be around 250-350wRMS atleast so your gonna need an amp of some sorts, and although underpowering it wont hurt it, turning up your system full wack will cause shite loads of distortion that will burn the coils. Therefore i would save your pennies for a monoblock that is capable of offering the power it needs :) But you need to find out what the subs RMS power handling figure is and how there are connected/what load they are...as it determines what amp(s) you can go for etc etc :) If halfords still stock the sub box thingy, then go in an ask about it and just pray they dont flog you off with shite info etc :thumbs: | |

the 2 channel amp is 125w RMS i think , so it should be fine for the front speakers , the sub is one of them halfords special massive things , its got 2 10" subs in it , dunno the RMS | |

quote: dont worry about the screen mate, as long as you can control the volume on the DVD/HU then thats cool...otherwise it will be full volume type thing :lol: a decent monoblock will set you back about 200 quid +, but it obviously depends on the RMS rating of the sub etc :) Just make sure, like with buying all amps, that you buy an amp that gives out abit more RMS juice than the speakers need...ie: if the speakers are rated at 100wRMS, then get an amp rated at 150wRMS....then turn the gains down a tad, as this will help prevent distiortion :) | |

looks like it only has one set of preouts, so if your current two channel amp doesnt have an optional output set of preouts then you have a number of ways of doing it :) | |
