I need help deciding on subwoofers, I NEED THUMP IN MY TRUNK Options

[chrisbf429]

So i've got two basic choices for my subwoofers! Either i get ONE alpine type R 12 inch sub that goes for about $100 or i get 2 Kenwood 12" subs for $45 bucks each. What should i do??? Any other ideas? my budget is around $100 for the subs so try to keep it in that range... Thank you!

dont cheap out on wiring with 8 gauge, go 4 gauge.

Why?

Common misconception, waste of money. Unless your doing it for the looks.

I hope you arent being serious here. I do car audio for a living so please tell me WHY you shouldnt put 4 gauge wire in when
youre going to have an amp close to the same amperage as the inline fuse holder on your power wire, thus when your
power wire fuse blows its going to go straight through to your amp and have possible damage of damaging your amplifier.

Why not spend the extra $30 and get proper gauge wiring so that you don`t have to worry about that or if you ever
plan to upgrade your system you don`t have to rip everything out and do it all over again?

Yes the MRPM500 only NEEDS 8 gauge input, however you are much better off putting in 4 gauge wire, for example
if you ever plan on putting an amplifier to your speakers (which I highly recommend anyways) then you can just use the 4 gauge wire
to a disto block and split the power 4 in to 2 8 gauge out.

This is not a "common misconception" or a "waste of money" for "looks" my friend.
