Decisions, decisions...

Right now I am running a Pioneer DEH-P7200 Head Unit, and a 4-gage wiring kit to Pioneers GM-X962 Amp, with two Pioneer TS-W33C subs.
I have the amp bridged, with both subs running off the single channel (two wires from the + on the amp, and two wires from the -). Is there a better way I could wire my setup? and also, if I were to replace one component, which one should I replace, and what should I replace it with? thanks for the advice.

Ok, change of plans.....

My subs got fried today :crying:

any advice on new subs?

yeah those subs looked cheap. i would say get two 12s if you have the $.

....thank you, thats what I had. what should my new subs be?

What is your Price Range?

This is an issue of debate, but im a poor college kid, so not a lot. Not that I would get the same ones, but the ones I had go on ebay for about 40 apiece. Im kind of hoping to stay uner 150 for the pair if i can. i know im cheap; 26K a year for college can do that to you :eek: :rolleyes:

I feel that college pain... I got Rockford HX2's 10's, they are awesome and got them at a good price 150... If you want twelves at a good price go with Rockford's off ebay! I'll search and give you some more ideas.

so you recommend the rockfords then?

Fosgates are crap, the HX2 is the only respectable model and that just gets loud, the sound quality is down the toilet.

So you have 380x1 @ 4ohm and you want to stay under $150 for the subs. How much room do you have?

Ive got a bonneville....so lots. right now i have a box for two 12's.

Another question. Does it matter if i get DVC subs or not?

In other words, with the amp i have, how would be the best way to wire new subs?

I know a lot of ppl are doing Audio Bahn now, but i dont know anything about them...I have a mono 900 rockford, i crossed over my HX2's at 2 ohms...
I have no idea about DVC's...

Type-Rs are on eBay for under or around $150 for both...I think. Id gladly trade mine for 2 15" Type-Rs.

What are the specs on the box? (sealed, ported, volume per sub)

DVC just gives you more wiring options, I can't tell you whether to get it or not since it completely depends on the SVC and DVC impedence of the subs you choose, but it will "matter".

Can't tell you how to wire it until you get the subs ;)
If you get a pair of DVC 4ohm subs you would wire them in series/parallel, if you got a pair of SVC 2ohm subs you would wire them in series, if you got a pair of SVC 8ohm subs you would wire them in parallel. Eh, I think that's most of the options available to you at this point.

Nevermind...cant get them for that cheap. And they dont make 15"s I guess...weird.

DUED ARE YOU ON CRACK!?!?!?

No, but thanks for asking

no prob

actually you CAN get them for cheap, about $120 each online (when you buy two), and they also do make 15's but they cost about $200 a piece online, and they really REALLY recommend you to use a sealed box, it just sounds better that way, im going to buy 3 10' type Rs soon, but i'll need to come up on some cash first, im temporarily using a kicker comp VR in a ported, it sounds decent, i think i shoulda got a bigger box tho, mines is only 1.80 cubic feet, the recommended is from 1.7-2.25, ok im just rambling now heh sorry
