^ u should run 2 amps

 

haha.

that's what the guy at the audio shop told me. then he proceeded to write me an estimate for all memphis audio equip...totalled out at 2000.

i ran the identical setup in my 94 accord, except i had an aftermarket head unit, and i loved it.

Aside from having more power all around, and control of the sub, why should i run two amps?

 

well u just said it. also there wouldn't be so much on one amp and could help it last longer. also better sound quality unless u plan on running crossovers from the one amp.and the price for memphis is 2 much. also to the guy who started the thread go on crutchfeild and find things you like and are able to fit and then go on ebay and try to get them at a cheaper price.

 

in your opinion, what would i need to spend on an amp / sub package? not looking for much. and only want one sub.

 

depends on sub size/type "sq or spl" and the power your wanting out of an amp.

 

here is a nice amp..although a refurb it has a 2 year warranty... http://cgi.ebay.com/MA-AUDIO-HK1998-...QQcmdZViewItem

 

what is sq or spl?

 

that is a nice sub for that price i think my bro has one running two jl's

never mind thats a mono amp he has one that looks like that

 

they are factor u consider when looking for a sub. subs that are mostly for sq are the one's that drop real low and have deep bass while sub spl based get loud. for ex: kicker L5/L7 subs are said to be spl subs

 

SQ is sound quality. This would be for the most accurate reproduction of music.

SPL is sound pressure level. This is for being really loud. SPL subs are generally massive and can handle a ton of power.
