Subs

[wjm22400]

So I was wondering if anyone who had experience could help me decide if either of these are a good setup?

Package: (2) Rockford Fosgate Prime R2D4-12 12" Car Subwoofers Totaling 1000W Peak/500W RMS + Rockville RXD-M1 500 Watt RMS - CEA Compliant Mono Class D 1 Ohm Car Amplifier + Rockville RWK41 Complete 4 Gauge 2 Channel Wire Kit With Rca Cables + Rockville RD12 Dual 12" Sealed Sub Enclosure + Dual Enclosure Wire Kit With 14 Gauge Speaker Wire + Screws + Spade Terminals https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00YGPPXIO/ref=cm_sw_r_awd_QA8OwbA7R9SBS

Or this

option 2

its always best to have the amp be able to output more than the subwoofers RMS

also 1200W is a lot more than 500W

What if I'm in a tiny vehicle? What about possibly blowing my windows out

you can just not put it so loud and you will be fine

1200W wont crack any windows

In reality it's barely audible. It's cool for bragging rights though...

 

OP, what kind of install are you going after? Cheap, sound quality, loud, small etc..... What are your requirements

I was looking at this than four 5 way Kenwood speakers, and a jvc deck....

I want it to be good but if I want to I want the bass to shake if you know what i mean

Just use two ways. Fiveways are crap.

If you don't mind me asking why?

[Lutkeveld]

1) a two way can cover the whole needed spectrum 

2) with a five way you have less budget per 'way' (/driver)

3) each driver needs it's own crossover, 3/5 even need a bandpass filter. This requires a) good design b) more money

4) the four drivers take up space and cover the the rest

So do you think this would sound just as good. What do you recommend?
