Replacing blown Sub #1429541 11/04/05 10:27 PM

OP thejms Veteran CEG\'er T Joined: Dec 2002 Posts: 903 Las Vegas, NV	I am looking at replacing one of my 10" RF Punch HE2. I have done alot of searching here on the forums. I know there is alot of opinions out there on what is best. I am still running an old hand me down Sony XM-2200GTX amp. I know I NEED to replace that too, but I want to get a good amp so I have to save up for that. I was looking at some Diamond Audio 10" D6's, or maybe just get some newer punches? I was pretty happy with the current ones. I am not sure when/how I blew my current one but maybe the fact that I blew it means I should get something bigger? Or maybe I dont have the amp set up correct? Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Justin Schmidt 2000 SVT Tour #1620 of 2150 Born 1/15/2000

You have a DVC subs on a 2CH who's not stable bridged into 2ohm. 1998.5 Toreador Red/Midnight Blue Contour SVT - #5912/6535 - DOB - 05/11/1998 - RU-3530/CTA Intake Pipe MSDS Heaser/Y-Pipe Magnaflow #10435 9mm Ford racing SPEC Stage one/Spec Alum.

Space is not really an option. I dont use my trunk for anything. I dont know how much I want to spend really. Mid to high quality I guess. I dont wanna spend money on crap and then just have to buy more later, ya know? Justin Schmidt 2000 SVT Tour #1620 of 2150 Born 1/15/2000

However, that amp is only 200 watts RMS x 2 @ 4 ohms or 250 watts RMS x 2 @ 2 ohms. You don't have near enough power for the Diamonds which are 500w RMS a piece. I have a 10" M6 right now getting 550W RMS and love it. Wish I had two or would have gone with a 12", but other than that I couldn't be happier. Your amp is more suited for the Diamond Audio D3 subs.

Believe it or not someone on these forums recommended that to me. I have been meaning to get a smaller rated one just never have yet. That is fuse for my whole car since I did the relocation kit. I have a smaller fuse for the amp mounted under the batt. Justin Schmidt 2000 SVT Tour #1620 of 2150 Born 1/15/2000
