Need some advise from u guys.

Isit BM VTK-S12 is a acceptable sub for SPL and how durable?I'm going to get 2 of those to add in my car which is currently running on Mid and components only.Wanna add some heart pounding.

So 2pcs of BM VTK-S12 1300W 4Ohm Double voice coil and a MA Audio MA-3001D 600W RMS Class-D Monoblock.

Spec of amp:

300W RMS @ 4 Ohm
600W RMS @ 2 Ohm
Max Power: 1400W PMPO
PWM MOFSET switching power supply
Adaptive Class D technology
High powered transformer
High powered stacked inductor
Pure N-channel design
Doubles power into 2 ohms

Possible to wire both sub into 2ohm with that amp bridged?How?Or i need more juice/other high RMS monoblock?

Thanks

amp not enuff power lor, each sub is 1300W (maybe its max power, does it say what is nominal power or rms power?)

even then, if u wire the subs parallel + series to give the amp a 4ohm load, each sub only gets 150W...

try to find a monoblock amp that gives at least 1000W and can go to 1 ohm, so can wire the subs parallel + parallel

why not save that money and buy new HU instead? or is this OEM unit?

u didnt mention if u have an amp or not, if not better get an amp instead of pre amp. most 4ch amps can still take input by one pair rca source

anyway doubt SP is from USA. US made pre amps will cost u around 1k++, like audio control, a used unit probly be around 700-800

its an old skool brand but its not an old school model, anyway cobalt is entry level range and i think theyre not made in US anymore..

id prefer to look for old XTR models, or the HCCA ones, much better, however they do have their own problems, hehe, or else everyone and their dog will be using it

Hi, want to know if Rogers is a good brand as it is not mentioned here. Is the amp reliable? RSA-428 ok?
*
rogers is a good brand...but speakers only...and they were home audio brand.....and they dont make them anymore, not the good ones lah....very highly sought after, made in the 70s, 80s and 90s a bit....few years ago the brand was bought by HK company, and now make the speakes in china...these are home audio la

for car audio, theyre not a good brand, made in china, using a name popular with home hifi speakers, reliability wise, not bad actually, sold to some ppl with low budget last time, not many complaints...

Hi guys... im new to ICE so need suggestion or recomendation for my ice setup... first of all, the ice is for my (tank) mercedes w124...i want to run full active.. here some of the equipment thats getting in to my car..

Head Unit
eclipse 3100 (how much$$)

speakers
please suggest speakers for this position
Front dash max 4inch(original position)-
A pillar (just small tweeters 1/2 size of morel supprmo is good .. suggestions?)
Kick pannel (max size 6.5 inch)
rear - nothing...except for sub in boot (what do you guys think?)
need suggestion of components that fit this criteria and go well with amps

Subwoofer
(one) Polk Audio AA3105-A MM1040 DVC 10 Inch (hoping to get it in 2 weeks) rm 8++ is the price too expensive?

Amplifier
Autotek Mean Machine M4-400 ( +/- RM 2000 ... is this too expensive?)
Macrom syn tech 2.100X (very old stuff laying around my house thinking of putting this to good use)

thank you...
*
i have eclipse 3200 for about 1600
if youre thinking of 3 way components (6.5" + 4" + tweeter), be prepared to spend some serious cash, all 2k upwards i think. can look for focal, hertz, DLS, etc...
u will need a powerful 2ch amp for 3 way components, a good 100W x 2 amp will be around 2k++, or a cheaper one but u will need 150W or 200W per ch
autotek not worth to spend 2k, find other brands la, do more research, visit more shops
if u intend to use your old macrom amp for sub, then make sure it can go down to 2ohm bridged mono before committing yourself to that polk audio sub. or else look for a single voice coil enuff, important think is power rating of sub matches the amp's output power.

impact is not bad, not as popular as most SQ brands, something like hertz or rainbow, but not as popular as focal or DLS

depends on the 4ch amp u goin to get

just find single voice coil 4ohm subwoofer around 300W

4ch amp 50W x 4 or 75W x 4, look for good brand

sub for beginners will be around 500-800
