I've got a 2016 Hyundai Tucson Limited with a 130amp alternator. I have a SoundQubed S1-1250 (1260w@1ohm) for a Fi Xv3 and looking to get the reasonably lowest wattage 4ch amp for the door speakers which I haven't selected yet. It seems that'd likely be a 50-75w/channel amp. Would you expect...

Adding a SoundQubed S1-1250 to my stock-everything 2016 Hyundai Tucson Limited. I'd love to not have to open the dash, as it's apparently a pain in the ass, and I seem to have just about everything else I need at the factory amp in the rear of the vehicle. -Am I correct to be tapping into the...

Number of subs preferred: 1 Size preferred (if configuration allows): 12" Budget: ~$200-$250 Power to be used (which amp(s), include which resistance): SoundQubed S1-1250 (1260w @ 1ohm or 860w @ 2) Will use it at 1ohm cause why not? Space available (take measurements, do not guess): Sedan...

I need some help with my first enclosure build. Pardon the inexperience. I've done a bit of research. I've been trying to figure out this basic design for a month now. I've tried WinISD but I can't for the life of me grasp that at this point. This being my first build, I want it as basic as...

Hello my friends from the subwoofer forum here. What amp would you pair with the DB Machete M12D1 Sport? Got an otherwise stock Hyundai Sonata. I've got an R500X1D but thinking of going with a 1000-1500w amp. I'll be building a ported enclosure for this. ...

I hear ya. You've got me considering upgrading my amp. New sub is a DVC1. I plan to keep a single 12" for the foreseeable future. Am I wrong in thinking that I'm not future-proofing myself by going with the HD3000 2ohm to run me for now, because in adding an identical sub to this one, those 2...

Is that something I want to install to monitor my stuff? How do I hook that up? I know dick about tuning an amp. So say I hold off on buying an amp and want to use my RF amp with this new sub for now. How can I best ensure I'm getting the most out of both the amp and my sub without destroying...

Thank you. I found some wiggle room in my budget for an amp also if I feel like I need one. I have the Machete Sport M12D1 on the way. Is Taramps really the bee's knees? Bang for buck, those little amps are impressive. So, a voltmeter like this one? How do I use this thing? Volume up to levels...

accidental post. cheers for the help.

Well **** do I hold off on the sub I just ordered? I feel like my amp gives sufficient power for now. I know everyone would love to hear you set me up with 2400w to some bangers but I don't have that intention. Do I just go with a 350-500w sub that isn't some MTX Crutchfield **** tuned right? ...

Tbh looks pretty easy. I've got basic tools and ample space to make a mess but no legit benches/saws and whatnot. Jigsaw, drills, clamps, bench, glue. I purchased a machete m12d1 and am looking forward to trying my hand with a build. 

But then I'm getting into more serious upgrade territory for that kind of power. I don't want to get into swapping an alternator right now I don't think. I think I just want to get the absolute best I can get out of my ~650w @2ohm amp I have right now. No reason to dump it and I don't know that...

I appreciate the info. Looking at something like the Machete M12 v2 D1/D2 Sport 12", specs say it likes 950w RMS. Will my current amp sufficiently power this bad boy?  Should I worry about going with a 1ohm or 4ohm DVC sub? Need to wire it for now at 2ohm, but also thinking about what makes...

Thanks. Loaded question perhaps but should I do the big-3 upgrade based on what I'm running now? I don't know what a good battery is but I got mine from AutoZone 😂 Should I just pick one of those subs and run with it?

Yea I've looked at some builds in passing. I absolutely want a box suited for the sub. Is it any more than looking at the manual for the sub and accounting for those suggested specs? I think I can account for bracing, not sure about rounding. I guess it's time to look at some builds. Thanks for...
