2 Ohm? 1 Ohm? What?
in my 06 SS, I have the basic stereo system, you know, the crappy one. I have a separate amp for it in the trunk, but its not a 6 disc changer. I don't know whats going on. It just sucks.
I've been reading up on subs and what not so I can maybe get some bass out of my system. But I have no idea what I'm looking for. I'm looking for maybe one or two subs for the trunk, and an amp. What kind of subs do I want? |
i dont understand your first paragraph there, if you want some more bass then just get some subs,i would start with an aftermarket deck tho
|
You must start with a head unit, then 6 x9’s, and component, or full range speakers for the doors, after that you can get the subs….
For example; I have a Class D-mono (one channel amp) wired to an (2ohm) L5 Solo Baric in parallel to get 1ohm , IIRC. I also, have a four channel to handle other stuff, doors & rear. Look at the amps, one is strickly for the sub and the other for the mid's and highs...You could start with the sub but it might sound like crap because it will overtake your interior sound. You'll get all bass. If you r interested I have a new 15 inch L5 for sale. Just like in the pic below... http://i26.tinypic.com/20sc3gl.jpg http://i30.tinypic.com/2ibylgw.jpg |
Also, as far as OHMs you need to see if your amps can handle that, some amps cannot handle lower ohm loads, such as 1 ohm. You just need to know what kind of voice coil configuration your subs have, how to wire them, and wire them for an impedance your amp can take.
I can provide all of this if you go with a Solo Baric, not pushing you one wayy or the other but I wouldn't go with any other sub....ever... |

Subs come in various voice coil configurations to allow for flexability when wiring them to your amp. Some amps are stable down to 1ohm, others only to 2ohms. If you had an amp that was stable down to 2ohms, buying a pair of DVC 4ohm subs wouldn't do you any good because you could only wire the subs to 4ohms or 1ohm, not 2ohms like you'd need. So in that case you would be better off going with DVC 2ohm subs. |
Oh man, thats confusing stuff. I did not like my electrical engineering class I took a few years ago.
So, does my stock headunit have a certain Ohms to it? Or is it entirely based on my amp and subs? |
Ok, ok, lets forget about ohms..hahah. Just get a new head unit first...lol...

I agree with bumpin96monte here. You need to be more specific with your criticism. If you don't know enough about audio to be able to put your finger on it, then there isn't any way to get around having to bring it to an audio shop. They should understand that everyone starts where you are, and they shouldn't make you feel like an ass for asking questions. As long as you're willing to learn what they tell you, you'll take away with you more knowledge than you could imagine in just a short conversation.
