subs in xjs

[XJCasper]

I enjoy my Memphis Audio 250 watt mono amp. A few years old, but sounds great

I've got a cheap amp and a 12" Alpine Type-R in a Q-logic bandpass. Anybody want to recommend an amp? I care more about sound quality than LOUDNESS as I don't listen to anything besides hard rock, metal, and the occasional pink floyd album.

Is your 12" a single or dual voice coil? One thing that you will notice is that a bandpass enclosure are not all that great for sound quality, they tend to be boomy and have little tone quality.

I've got a JL 2-12w3 v3 box on a 500/1 JL amp. Then I have 5.25 JL TR's all around with a JL 300/4 amp. Running them on an old pioneer 670. Looking to upgrade the front to some JL C5 components soon. And the head unit to the new pio premier 600ub. Will hopefully have some pics up soon. Still havn't actually bought a camera.

It is dual voice coil. I'm definately going to be replacing the bandpass with a regular box when I get a new amp.

depending on what version you have of the type r you have . hey have a dual 2ohm and a dual 4 ohm. if you have a dual 4 then you would want a mono block that will put down about 500 watts rms at 2ohm, if its the dual 2 ohm you can either spend th money on getting a mono block that will run 1ohm or just get a 2 chanel amp that is about a 2x 125 and run that 4hom mono and that will give you that 40 to 500 watt range. I personaly use Infinity and Hifonics . I have used a few Audiobahn amps with great results as well and they seem to be pretty well built for thier price.

Here's some pics of my current set-up (although I have something devious up my sleeve )

ALPINE CDA-9855 Receiver/ KCA-420i - iPod Interface
ALPINE MRP-M350/ MRP-F240 V-Power Amps (Stealth Install)
Infinity Kappa Perfect 6.1 .. 6.5" components
Infinity Kappa 62.5i .. 6.5" rear-fill speakers
Infinity Kappa Perfect 10DVQ .. 10" subwoofer
50 sq. ft B-Quiet Ultimate Deadener/ XTC speaker baffles
10" Stealthbox® sub enclosure

Very nice audio setup, I am lloking for one enclosure por the sub without damage on the OEM parts on rear....

Because you have the knowledge on Alpine´s stereos... I had the opportunity to see the CDA-9885 and it has a USB wire on the rear... also it comes with an extra wire for the IPOD which is connected to the special output like a CD player box and in the other end a special connector to the IPOD, the question is this, the USB wire on the rear is to be used with USB memories on MP3?, this model reads and plays USB memories with music?

Thanks

Here is mine...

Two 10's in a subzero sealed box.

I have yet to finish the wiring and get two matching subs, but once this new job sends me a paycheck, I will have it done....

The entire thread on this bundle boom....

^^ nice job on that box !!!

 

[TwistedFocus]

Slvrathlon, Is that a 10?
That's a pretty sweet solution to hiding the amp and protecting the sub. Did you have to cut out the cubby hole to clear the sub?

 

[DeftwillP]

How is it hidden?:huh:

 

[TwistedFocus]

For some reason, looking at the pic, it looked like it was hidden by the enclosure. Now I see its on the other side of the cargo area.

 

[slvrathlon]

Thanks.

Yup the amp is not hidden, but the windows are so dark back there it's not the easy to see in. I was going to mount under the drivers seat, but it was just a lil too big. I put the XM tuner there instead.
I then tried under the rear seat, but that didn't work either... so where it's at is where it's at.

Yes, that is a 10" JL W3. Box is a mix of Fiber and MDF of course.

Sounds VERY, VERY good.

Here's my system:

Kenwood Excelon KDC- X890 w/USB
Kenwood H2E plug and play Sirius

USB with SD thumb drive (I can get about 20 CDs on one 1gb SD card and have 18gb worth of cards so far)

(2) JL Audio 10W0 subs in custom ported enclosure with quick disconnect speaker cables for quick removal.

Rear soundbar with JL Audio 5.25" mids and 1" Infinity tweeters

JL Audio VR components - 6" mid (in the door behind stock grill) + 3/4" tweeter.Tweeters got trapped behind the cage when I installed it but amazingly they still sound crisp and clean.

Under Back seat:
Orion CS 150.2 (300W bridged) powering the subs.
Audiocontrol EQX competition EQ.
Left channel(s) X-overs (JL Audio and Infinity)
Tsunami and Lightning Audio RCA cables

Right Channel(s) X-overs
Tsunami fuse block and power cables (4ga & 8ga)
Lightning Audio RCA cables

Nice setup, I like the sub setup and the set of the soundbar....just curiosity, for what are the two bottons (red and black) you have close to the emergency break pole?

Thanks - those are the winch controls. Power, winch "in" and winch "out".
