Dual Sub question

[JonnyDe]

I got a quick question for anyone who knows about subs and amps.

I have just bought a VE Sv6. And i am planning to put two subs in the boot. I am going to make custon boxes to put one in each corner at the back and mount the amp/amps in the middle.

Now heres the question, should i buy 1 big two channel amp, or two smaller mono amps?

i know that i will need either a 2 channel LOC or get High Inputs on the amps.

G'day mate

any chance we could have some details of the subs? That way we could work something out for you.

Generally, one monoblock amp will be better.
* Easier to install
* Less wiring
* More than likely cheaper

But in saying that, if you want a nice symmetrical design in the boot then maybe two monoblock amps.
Whatever you do, make sure the subs you buy are suited to the amps (impedance wise).

Just buy a mono with enough power to run both subs and make sure you buy the correct models to match the amp.

Wow, there was no replies when i started typing.

Im running duel subs on a 2 channel amp
Subs are pioneer 1200 watts each 450rms
Amp is 500 watts.
Also running another amp to my 6x9's (just bragging here )

But if i had money to spend i would definitely buy 2 mono amps and hook up a sub to each.

well, i dont have the subs yet, so im open to ideas. all up I dont want to spend over 700.

im thinking dual 12's. I was thinking of just buying one really big Mono block and sticking it in the middle. but how do you wire two subs to it. Do i just run it in a parallel circuit?

$700 for 2 subs and a monoblock?

Depending on what subs and what amp you get will depend on how they are wired. Lets just say you get 2x 12" 4 ohm DVC subs and a 1 ohm stable monoblock. This means you join the two +s and the two -s together from sub one, do the same with sub two and run the wires from each sub to the amp. This will give you a 1 ohm load for the amp.

yeah, 700 all up is the max price. if i can get a good deal than that would be cool. Was looking at the Edge 12's from shopping secure. but open for surgestions.
