that means you need to get a better amp, also for the love of god dont buy a prefab box... pay a friend to build one if you have to. the box is the most important part of your install.

EDIT: this amp will be better than that jl anyday just set your gains right and you will be fine

ok good, its a fine subwoofer in the right box (make your own, dont buy one) but get the d2 and wire it like this

And for an amp under $200 to power it, really I would say the Twisted Sounds 1k, but its a bit over your budget, but wonderful amp. OR, here is one right on 200 that does 750rms

For an Alpine Type R Subwoofer, if you're looking at an inexpensive amp that has some reliability to it, to perform well.

https://www.amazon.com/Rockford-Fosgate-Prime-channel-Amplifier/dp/B004T166L8 Make sure to get a Dual 2 ohm sub wired in parallel to get full power out of this amp.

I also suggest you put that sub in a ported/vented box to get the full potential out of it.

Thanks for the quick reply. Told him he will need a better box.

Is that the amp you speak of? $210 on amazon.

Also what wiring kit? I see many posted here and I don't know which would be best for his specific setup.

how would this amp work? a bit less expensive but still overrated on power for my sub. Rated at 750 Watts rms at 1 ohm.

Morel Maximo component set - $150 shipped

Kenwood ddx374BT - $220 shipped. Comes with $40 off the dash kit you might need

Fi Alpha 12 v2 - $180 with the "Dual 2 Xmax" option (absolutely necessary), plus shipping.

Rockford 750.1d - $223 shipped. These are underrated little tanks.

Knukonceptz OFC 4awg kit - $60 shipped.

Other supplies (wood, glue, wire harness) - $70

Total - $903. This would be ideal. However, if you need to skimp on something, you can get these options instead:
Hertz dsk component set - $115

RF p2d2 12" sub - $104

Alpine single din HU with BT - $161

PPI monoblock amp - $132

New total - $642 plus up to $70 for the dash kit, so $712. If you get the PPI amp and RF sub, run it at 4 ohms.

Tough first build I hope it comes out sick.

I’d suggest stretching the budget a hair and getting Image Dynamics ID10’s

Or going a hair bigger on the enclosure and getting image Dynamics ID12’s

They’re nice budget SQ-ish subs that do well in sealed enclosures.

Feed them with about 750watt amp at 1 ohm and they’ll sound very nice.

Something like this or this
Or this

Would pair up nicely

Ported isn’t going to work in that amount of space.

So after looking over the suggestions I threw together my version of the system.


Head Unit

Front Speakers

Rear Speakers

4 Channel Amp

Sub

Sub Amp


Now I just need to figure out what RCA's to get and what sound dampener to get.

This one would give the best sound for both?

SEE EDIT

Original comment:
That amp only puts out 1000watts "MAX" which means the RMS value could be anywhere from 400-500watts. The GM-D8601 Actually puts out more real watts. I suggest neither of those amps... and go with a Rockford because it does have a subsonic filter.

It's more money, but it is much higher quality.

EDIT: I'm incorrect disregard the above.

The SQ amp is $210, but I found a Rockford Prime 750 on Amazon for $192 (every little bit helps).

I also found an ATrend enclosure with identical specs to the one recommended on the SQ website for $65 instead of $141, HERE.

What do you think?

EDIT: I added some more amps to my OP.

Either this https://www.amazon.com/Rockford-Fosgate-Prime-channel-Amplifier/dp/B004T166L8/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1524367389&sr=1-1&keywords=rockford+fosgate+r750-1d

or this http://www.down4soundshop.com/skar-audio-rp-800-1d-monoblock-amplifier/

with this box and this amp edit: it would actually be about 50-60 bucks cheaper to go this route and you willl have better quality sound
