Title: Some advice on car audio for a Reg. Cab Pickup
Post by: ModderDmo on December 13, 2009, 06:22:50 PM: I graduated from high school not too long ago and Christmas is coming up and I compiled a wish list for the two. I'm asking for a Kicker 750W RMS monoblock with a 0AWG wiring kit, and a pair of 10" Kicker CompVR's. This is all going into a regular cab pickup with a 1.8 cubic foot box that barely fits. Do you guys think this a good setup, or do you guys believe that I should come up with a better setup? Remember, I have only have $500 USD budget for subwoofers and an amp, so it can't be a complete JL Audio setup. I'm getting everything off of SonicElectronix.com if you were wondering.

Remember, underpower is just as bad, if not worse then over powering.

Post by: ModderDmo on December 14, 2009, 10:53:23 PM: Yeah, I'm looking to buy a ZX series, which is the only choice, well, there is the Warhorse, but that's overkill.

Yea I really wanted that too but I got a good deal on a kicker solo x 10" sub so I bought it and now I am looking for an amp. It should pound.

Post by: ModderDmo on December 22, 2009, 02:51:06 PM: It most likely won't, but I'm putting on a ring terminal and trim it.

im running 0 gauge in my car and all you have to do is buy a cap for the wire that screws on that will make it fit inside the amp. It was like $5 at Car-Toys

Post by: ModderDmo on December 23, 2009, 08:21:51 PM: Alright, I got everything hooked up but I wired everything to 8-ohms until I can get a high-output alternator and deep-cycle battery. At full volume it's 13-14V stable. Thanks to all of you for your help.

Great prices, i bought all of my car audio off there and my stuff bumps... just consider this website if you want to upgrade at any time... use the code "ocsavings" without quotes for 10% off. they have a larger selection than sonic eletronix. hope this helped...
