Alright, so I have 2 12'inch eclipse subs in a box... What kind of amp would I need to power this?

Question

I went to Best Buy and one of the people there told me to get a 1000 watt mono rockwell amp.. This priced at $199 or something, but my range right now is about $140 ... I also need to be able to buy wiring with this money.. (Side question, what kind of wiring would I need to wire my subs from the back of a 2008 Honda Civic?? And do I need to buy anything else after that?? I read something about a capacitor and a dsitribution block...)

Answer 1

??????????????

Answer 2

go to crutchfield.com and see if they have anything in ur price range,they do sell refurbished products also which will be ok,you can go to your local walmart and buy a amp wiring kit it comes with all the wires and the fuse u will need,do not worry about a capacitor right now,the distribution block is actually a block with fuses in it to run more than 1 device off of it ,the fuse will b ok for now.

Answer 3

well your going to need an amp wiring kit and those run anywhere from $30 to $100 my suggestion is to get on eBay and buy a wiring kit that will give you all the wiring you need for the amp then just stop in to radio shack and pick up a few feet of speaker wire to hook your subs to the amp. now for your amp situation i would say go to hifisoundconnection.com they have some good deals.  To power those subs your gonna need to spend about 150 alone to get a decent amp make sure to find rms ratings not peak when looking at the watts.  as for a capacitor anything above 500 rms is when your going to start to look at small capacitors again just get on ebay and find a cheap 1 farad capacitor but other then that i dont think you need anything else but realistically your not gonna get everything you need for $140
