Well, I'm upgrading the sound while being on a budget. If anyone has one of these products please feel free to write a quick review.

Heres what I got:
Pioneer GM-7300M Mono Amp (http://www.onlinecarstereo.com/CarAudio/ProductDetail.aspx?ProductID=17896)
Kicker 05CVR12-2 (http://www.onlinecarstereo.com/CarAudio/ProductDetail.aspx?ProductID=14816)

Thanks for Looking!

hmmm would that work. 2 ohm subs and 2 ohm amp? shouldnt the amp be 1 ohm?

you need a dual 4 ohm coil sub. so you parallel them for your amps 2 ohm load.

ok good, i remembered correctly. yeah either 1 ohm or 4 ohm

oh i see. alright let me make some adjustments.

Edit:
Same amp but w/ Kicker 05CVR12-4 (http://www.onlinecarstereo.com/CarAudio/ProductDetail.aspx?ProductID=14817)

Do you think I would need better amp? Which one?

yeah the subs will do. the amp has got to go. get a 1 ohm stable amp

:huh: Because a 1-ohm amp is better? Please explain what you meant. That amp will work just great, you just need a dual- 4ohm woofer instead of the dual 2ohm.

im saying, the 2ohm subs will do fine. just get a 1 ohm stable amp. UNLESS u want more sq, then dont . ha

:huh: Am I missing something? I thought he's doing a single woofer. And how do you figure he will get more SQ from an amp that's NOT 1-ohm stable when the woofer is? Maybe I'm too sober, but what you said doesn't make sense. And I'm not tryin to be an ass, I just don't understand...

oh shoot man. i saw the 2 at the end, fr some reason i was thinking 2 subs. ooopsies

can someone explain to me how ohms work?

can someone explain to me how ohms work?

Ohms are simply the electrical load (resistance) presented to your amplifier. If you have a DVC 4 ohm sub, it can be wired to either a 2 ohm or a 8 ohm load. This is what you would want for an amp putting out it's max power with a 2 ohm load, like the Pioneer you selected. A DVC 2 ohm sub can be wired to 1 or 4 ohms, which is not ideal for that particular amp. You could still run it at 4 ohms, but the amp would only put out about half the power because it's seeing twice the resistance. Running it at 1 ohm would cause the amp to go into protection, because it's only stable down to 2 ohms. For a more in-depth explanation, go to BCAE1.com and find the section that teaches you about impedance and Ohm's Law.

Ty, I checked on th12volt.com and understood more.
