Auto Accessories » Amplifier Sub

Regardless if you buy your vehicle new or used, it seems the sound system is always the first thing the new owner wants to improve.Â A fact of life is that standard car speakers simply are not capable of producing the deep rich bass tones that we all enjoy.Â The best and probably most cost effective way to improve a car's sound system is to add a subwoofer.Â The addition of a subwoofer is the most popular car audio upgrade.Â Everyone enjoys the depth of sound that aÂ component subwoofer will deliver.

Deciding to add a subwoofer is the easy decision; then reality sets in and the new vehicle owner realizes installation of a subwoofer requires a substantial amount of room be sacrificed to the sub and amplifier. So the problem is to add a large speaker into today's smaller vehicles while not encroaching upon valuable space. The new, vehicle specific custom subwoofer boxes are designed to overcome this very problem.Â JL Audio Stealthbox series and MTX Thunderform series are formed fiberglass and composite subwoofer boxes which blend in nicely with the OEM appearance of your vehicle.Â

While many subwoofer boxes are designed to fit behind or under the read seats in trucks, most custom boxes for automobiles have been designed to install in hide away places in the rear hatch or trunk. This enables the vehicle owner to keep his subwoofer investment hidden from prying eyes and still allows him to enjoy the functionality of his specific vehicle. In most cases, these custom subwoofer boxes are available in a variety of colors to match the interior of your car or truck.Â This is especially nice for those who lease their vehicles and want to enjoy additional bass without the added hassle of messy installations.Â While most models already come with subwoofers, some custom sub boxes even come with amplifiers installed within the unit. Many owners consider the amplified versions to be the best deal. After all, you have everything hidden within the enclosure and installation is fast and easy.Â

There are also some very nice wood MDF subwoofer boxes made for specific cars and trucks.Â These models serve nicely to hide your subwoofer from prying eyes.Â The added benefit of all custom subwoofer boxes is that you are using what would otherwise have been wasted space in your vehicle.Â The MDF enclosures are also available in vented applications which translates into louder bass and most popular with younger drivers.Â So forget those thoughts of having an ugly huge box bouncing around the trunk of your car and take a look at the custom subwoofer boxes available today.Â They are well worth the investment.Â

So before your buy a big clunky subwoofer box, be sure to look atÂ a custom subwoofer enclosure made for your specific car or truck.Â

Amplifier for car sub system?

I need your help, Yahoo Answers.

I'm new to the whole car sub system thing, but I'm learning.
I have 2 12" DVC subwoofers (JVC CS-GW1200, to be exact)
They're rated at 4 ohms, but I have them running in parallel/parallel, so it brings it down to 2 ohms, correct?

They're rated at 350W RMS, so what specs should I be looking for in an amp to run them?

if u wire the dvc's in parallel then each sub is 2 ohm,if u wire all coils in parellel u get a 1 ohm load. look for an amp that puts out 800 watts rms or more & u should be ok

How do you go about stopping all that rattling in the trunk when you turn your subs up loud? And why don't most installation shops take care of that? There are a few easy fixes to get 80% of the unwanted noise removed.

The first thing to look at is your tag. Unscrew the tag and glue or secure a piece of cloth or rubber to the back of the tag. In some cases if you have 4 screws holding it in place, you wont have to glue it down. This material on the back of the tag will keep the metal surfaces from vibrating against one another. In a lot of cases, this first step will give you a big reduction in unwanted noise.

Secondly, open the trunk. Underneath the back deck, you will notice two cross bars that control the trunk latch. Take some fleece or cloth material and wrap them good, then zip tie the material in place. To make it look good, use the same color material as the surroundings, like a black or dark grey. Make sure that after wrapping them in material, they can still move freely enough to function properly. These two rods will vibrate against each other if left unwrapped.

With the two main causes of unwanted noise fixed, you may notice that the rattle is completely gone. If that's the case, consider yourself lucky and enjoy it. If you still hear a little rattle you would like to quiet, turn the subs on to a bearable level and open the trunk. Listen for any vibrating parts in there and identify them. If possible, wrap or secure them in place with material and zip ties. If you find that its something like a side quarter panel, you can solve that by placing a large piece of foam between the panel and the frame. These foam pieces can be purchased at any hobby store. trim it to size and push it in place.

Some spoilers will rattle too. See if you can tighten it down. If that doesn't help, remove it and place a rubber or fleece material "washer" between the spoiler and the trunk deck. This should help considerably.

Lastly, if you have a third brake light, these can rattle a lot too. You can do a few easy fixes here. 1) place a small shim between it and the window. Be sure to use something that will absorb vibrations, but wont be noticeable form the outside. You can also try and tighten it down from underneath the rear deck from the trunk.

If you can get all these parts fastened and buffered, you will notice a big difference in the sound quality of your system.

You have several options if you want to improve your current car audio system. The market is flooded with car audio systems and choosing the right one for your car can be a tough task. However, with a few guiding tips, you'll be all set to choose the right audio system for your car.

There are some fundamental guiding tips that can make the process of selecting the right car audio system very painless.

First and foremost you must check the capacity of your pocket. You must buy an audio system that does not burn a hole in your pocket.

Your preference matters a lot. You can either choose a system which gives you ultimate sound quality or go for a simple and basic system.

It is essential that the new car audio system is extremely user-friendly. The system must have large and well-spaced buttons to enable easy and smooth operation. The system must be such that ensures minimum distraction.

The car audio system must also have a proper display. The display must be large, clear and well informative.

A car audio system must have a head unit which shows all the pertinent data for the convenience of the user.

The system must have a powerful amplifier. Without a high quality amplifier, even a new car audio system will not give the highest quality you can get from it.

It is always good to have car audio systems that have separate tweeters. Users must make sure that the tweeters are properly positioned for the best results.

A separate sub woofer to the car audio system would provide that extra rumble to the system.

These are the basics. There are more to an audio system but those are certainly not for a new enthusiast. However, if you keep these very basic factors in mind, buying a good car audio system would surely be a pleasurable experience. Make sure driving your car is also a treat to your ears.

Can i run a 4 ohm sub from an amp at 600 x 1 channel at 1 ohm??

Now the sub says:Size: 8"
Impedance (OHMS): 4 DVC
Max Rec Amplifier Power (WATTS PEAK/RMS): 1800w / 900w
Sensitivity (dB 1W/1M): 84.5
Frequency Response (Hz): 28-100k
Mounting Depth (IN.): 4-11/16

So does this mean i have to run with from the amp at 4OHM???

Because the amp spec says this:
RMS Power Output:
• 300 watts x 1 chan. @ 4 ohms
• 400 watts x 1 chan. @ 2 ohms
• 600 watts x 1 chan. @ 1 ohm

So can i run that sub at 600watts x 1 chan. @ 1 ohm or do i have to run it at 300 x 1 chan. @4 ohms???

Since the sun you have is a DVC ( duel voice coil) you can run in series for 4 ohm, or you can run in parallel so the amp will see 2 OHM. You would need a DVC 2 ohm sub to see 1 ohm at the amp.

what size is 2001 deville factory subwoofer and how to wire in different amp?

I have a 2001 cadillac deville dts with a factory subwoofer in the rear deck panel. I cannot tell what size it is. I wanted to replace it with a better one and also wire in a different amp. I found what appears to be the BOSE amp inside the trunk area behind the rear seat, but it has a dozen wires going to it, so i'm assuming it powers all the car's speakers. Does anyone know a way to wire in an amp just for the sub?

I believe it is a 9" sub, but you can probably get a 10" in by rear loading.

Just connect a high-to-low adapter to the original wires on the sub to convert it to RCA for a new amp.

Since the woofer isn't in an enclosure, you should get a woofer design for "free air" or "open air" installations. These drivers are designed with a stiffer surround to perform better outside a real enclosure.
