Need advice on buying subs and amplifiers

[shezi88]

pakwheelers!

i need some advice! i have around 20,000 to 25,000 to spend on upgrading my music system. i currently have a kenwood KDC-MP543U pre and a 4 channel amp which powers 2 pioneer 3 way speakers and an old cerwin vega subwoofer. I was thinking of getting a new 4 channel amplifier and hooking 2 PIONEER 308 D4 subwoofers to it. what do you guys think? also, i would need a 2 channel amplifier for the pioneer speakers, so tell me which one is the best buy. or i could just use the old 4 channel and hook up the 3 way speakers with them. i am in lahore and will need to know the best place to get this equipment. so please don't forget to mention that.
looking forward to your replies. thanks

so, in a nutshell, i need advice on:

which 4 channel amplifier to power 2 pioneer 308 D4 subwoofers,
which 2 channel amplifier to power 2 pioneer 3 way speakers and
where to buy this stuff from in lahore.

a good 2 channel amp for woofers d4s and 4 channel for speakers and components

Hm shezi88 tum bas apna sequence sahi ker lo..
2 channel amp 4 woofers
&
4 channel amp 4 speakers

[shezi88]

@ShaniDk

so that would mean 3 amps in total (1 for each sub and 1 for the component speakers)? itni jaga nahin hogi yaar gari mein . what's wrong with hooking up both the woofers to a 4 channel amp? i was thinking of getting 2 amps, so that one could go under each front seat.

[ShaniDK]

hahahahah o wasta ha yar..
Yar Agr 2 sub chalane hain to powerful sa 2 channel amp Or mono amp lo:)or bhai her woofer k lie alehda amp kyun lo ge??..aisa 1 amp lo jo aap k dono sub ko chala sake
& for components or rear speakers buy a 4 channel amp....Meanz k aap apni car ma sirf 2 amp use kero ge..:)is se ziada aasan alfaaza nai samjha sakta ma..

[shezi88]

chalo sahi. now tell me which amp you would recommend for the subs.

[smartboy_am]

yeh i remember the time when i was getting soulhacker's sys installed....the fitter which was fitting the sys was making faces coz i was wiring it at 2ohm ad said yeh galat hai woofer urh jaye ga.....i said im wiring it at 2ohm,u dont worry....he said 1 ohm and 2ohm load are not meant for cars.......only 4 ohm and 8 ohm are meant for cars.......and i started to laugh and ignored him but he kept on arguing ke wrong hai.....i said ap apna karo yeh main wire kardon ga.............hahaha

[madhouse12]

yara these guys dont know jack about installation. they just know how to sell. i wanted to have a box made for my 15" JBL. i got the specs and everything from WinISD. went to the box maker and he said that the box is too big and it wont sound good. Also he first down right refused to make a box as per my specs. then he asked for 2000 rs for it. i made the box myself for less than a thousand and it sounded GREAT.

there are only a few shopkeepers around who know what they are talking about. try cool voice in saddar pindi for example. he is the only shop wala i know who knows about RoE and even recommended me some tunes from there.

[shezi88]

guys, please tell me how to wire 2 subs to a mono amp at 2ohm or 4ohm resistance. i know the fitters don't know anything, so i'll have to do the wiring myself. also, will i need an additional battery or capacitor?

[Maggi]

which subs do u have d2/d4 ?
two 2ohms dvc can wired to 0.5ohms 2ohms or 8ohms
two 4ohms dvc can be wired to 1 or 4ohms
