orite guys..im not the best when it comes to audio gear so i couldnt help my mate out when he asked me thiese questions...
he recently bought 2 12" kenwood 1200 watt subs, 5x7" JL speakers for the front and 6" JL speakers for the parcell shelf
now what we want to know is what type of amps should he be using to power all this gear up...and is it necessary to have a monoblock?
cheers guys.
yeh, this is for me guys.
i also dont know much, little to nothing tbh but anyway i asked the people at JB and at autobahn they said that i prob need one for the subs and one for the speakers, i dont remember exactly and yes i also remember somthing being said about a monoblock :S. im not at home atm so im not sure of the model of the speakers nor the numbers just looking for some idea of what amps i need for both the speakers and the subs
also do i need to buy cables for install or can i get them off who ever installs it?
any help would be great, also if u could include prices etc :]
thanks
To power the twin subs properly... Yes a monoblock will be required
A 4 channel (75rms) amp will suffice for your speakers
What are the RMS rating of the subs?
u will need 2 amps as u have been told, one for the subs and one for the speakers. this will give u enough power for them...
if i was u i would install it all yourself... its not too hard...just read all the manuals and wiring diagrams and take your time and always triple check before u cut any wires.
u can buy wiring kits from jb,strathfield,ebay etc if doing it yourself or the installers would have them for you.
as for brands of amps, the precision amps by jaycar are very good. if u want to go cheap use boss amps, people say bad things about them but ive had them before and they are very good. depending how much money u have will depend on which brand of amps u can afford. look to budget a minimum of a couple of more hundred bucks to get your amps and wires... and a couple more hundred if someone else is installing it for you.
ok ..just a couple of questions ..what does a monoblock do exactly?..also how much will i be looking at spending for 2 jaycar amps and a monoblock..im not looking at spending mega bucks..just sumthing that will suficiently power the speakers and the two subs without any hassles
RESPONSE CAR AMP 4X100WRMS $299
Response 1000WRMS Linkable Car Monoblock Amplifier $399
Check your local Jaycar stockist
**monoblock is just a dedicated sub amp...
