so im gonna get a pioneer head unit, and 2 12" Kicker Subs, so far that seems like a good start for a speaker van.

What do you mean by "speaker van" ??? I saw a old decommissioned armored car built by Boss Audio that had 60 15" subs in it... http://members.aol.com/musiletter/car/iasca.htmlIs that what you mean?

What are you planning for power? Kickers are power hungry, that HU certinly doesn't have enough...lol

my friends brother works at circuit city and threw some in his car and said that they work fine. but i dunno what head unit he has so ill check into it. i heard that would be fine tho. but what head unit would you recommend?

no, i'm sorry, i meant the HU doesn't have enough power to run a sub.... as in, what are you doing for amps...

Ninja_Logan · Post by **Ninja_Logan** » Thu Jul 05, 2007 11:46 am

im still checkin out amps, havent figured out which one im getting yet. what would you recommend? im just startng gettin into audio and electrical on cars so i dunno a lot about it yet. any info would be greatly appreciated. i just go with what ive read and heard so far.

Well man it's really up to your wallet.... power is cheap, or can be... You need to decide what you want to spend and how much power you want... Kickers do not like being underpowered, so your gonna end up with a rather large amp... you might consider Kicker for that as well... How much are you willing to learn????? I mean seriously, do you care or do you just want sound? If you CARE to learn audio/car audio http://www.bcae1.com/ Start reading, topics are along the right side of the page. Beware, that site is addictive.... and easy...

awesome! im learning all about audio on my car so that we i can start workin some speakers into my dsm im building. cuz so far i dont know much about electrical in a car. but thanks for that ill definately start reading

Cool man, glad your a learner, not one that doesn't care as long as it works... you can start with Ohm laws (in my sig) just about anything DC electrical can be dirived with it... It helps a lot to when looking at amp cause some are WAY overrated and some are under.. using ohms laws and the fuse rating of any amp can give you it's overall output in a few seconds... P=IxE or Power = volts x ampstake the fuse rating say 60a total multiply by the voltage 12v = 720w TOTAL max output that amp will produce(if the amp pulled 60a the fuse would blow, so it's under that depending on the type of amp and it's effiency)... actualy less, but you get the idea i hope...
