Yo i'm a lil' southern boy from charleston SC haha and i was lookin for some help on my system setup. What i have planned so far is a 10" 2 ohm FI Q for my acura rsx. (It's a hatchback and there's nothing between the seats and the trunk) I already have some polk component speakers which will do for now. For the amp situation i was thinkin either a dsc1000.1 ( DSC1000.1 - MB Quart 1 Ch 1000 Watt Amplifier ) for the "Q" and a 4 channel discuss amp for the tweeters and front speakers, or 1 discuss amp, and a sundown audio amp wherever it would be better suited (4 chan. or mono) Sorry if that made no sense. My music prefernce is pretty broad, but i like rap and alot of techno haha sometimes rock too. my price range is somewhere from $600 / $800. Suggestions?

O yea goin for sound quality so a sealed box is what im thinking for the Q somewhere close to .6 cubic ft. or a lil more

Welcome.

I am in Florence.

What all is that budget for? You were kinda all over the place.

Take a look at some of the amp/sub combos in the SSA store.

Haha sorry i knew that would be confusing. Basically i can't decide if i want this :

(sundown mono SAZ 1000d= $315) + ( discuss 4 chan, DSC480 = $140) = $455

( DSC480 - MB Quart 4 Ch 640 Watt Amplifier )

Or this:

(Discuss mono DSC1000.1= $180) + (Sundown 4 chan. SAX-100.4. = $365) = $545

O and i've been to Florence many times, ver nice My dad works up there all the time

, option number 1 would be better if you dont ever plan on running active.

haha i think i just read a post on another page about running active last night, but i can't remember where it was. That's like running 1 amp to each speaker or something? I kind of remember it was something i was most likely not going to do haha

[Sir-Lancelot 216]

Dont worry about active. Later on, maybe/maybe not.

Florence is not ChuckTown, but it's home.

haha yea i feel yea charleston's pretty cool, but drivin around there kinda sucks. I live maybe 30 mins from it, but i go there all the time.

Welcome to SSA! yes the big 3 should be good....maybe even get a volt meter and watch it

Welcome ......and active would be one amplified channel per speaker. It may be a bit too complicated to start without any experience. You'll learn a helluva lot from this forum though if that's really the route you wanna go. Good luck with the build and as always.....PICS!!

Thanks haha yea that's how i thought amps worked for a while until i looked at how the speakers were laid out in my manual lol. But yea i was told in another forum to just buy nice front comps and screw the rear speakers, (cuz apparently they only ruin sound quality) so i guess eventually a 4 channel amp could still do that?

And thanks everyone for welcoming me here so readily haha, and for the fast responses u guys r da bomb

Ok i realized i was getting awayy from the important stuff. So, I don't plan on building this system myself simply because this is my first system and i have neither the tools nor the experience. Also, i dont really trust the installers with supplying me a good quality amp istallation kit. I looked at knukoncepts but, once again, i don't know exactly what i need for two amps powering 7 total speakers.

I thought 4 gauge would be enough for this smaller system, so i had this planned out:

4 Gauge Amplifier Installation Kit

and

4 Gauge Amplifier Installation Kit

Help?
