Re: Amp and sub advise ..
no budget ?!! Wa..installers' dream !! Get a JBL Gti 12", and pump it with a class AB monoblock of 2000rms !! keke...
bro...u wanna look chio, its carpentry.. or fibreglass etc.. Carpentry doesnt guarantee sound quality .
u probably need to look at your whole setup, including your front speakers, headunit, processor (maybe), amps etc etc...
the options are endless, so u shud have a budget... hardware alone can costs u many many thousands..
a good start
1.Headunit
2. Processor
3. front components
4. subwoofer(s)
5. ampsssssss

Re: Amp and sub advise ..
Bro... u need to set a budget. JUst like if someone asked u what car to buy, no need world class car. So rolls royce or bentley is out but still got the toyotas, nissans, hondas.... then hondas got honda city to s2000... then how ?
customise boot setup can be done at many installers.. some go to tye, some go namhuat, some go chuan sing, some go hong guan, some go dynasty , swift motion, new generation... etc etc etc..
change your front components, an amp, subwoofer(s) and dedicated amp(s)..i think thats the minimum decent sound.

Re: Amp and sub advise ..
i've never used that amp so cannot comment...
$1k is enough...u just have to buy things within that $1k lor (but for starters, it shud be good enough)... then u have to decide Quantity and size of your sub. Then get amp(s) to power them...

Re: Amp and sub advise ..
I can recommend you a place to get Soundstream stuffs, they carry from components, amps, to subs, pretty decently priced. I got my amps from them and quite happy with the performance.
But check with bro 1HL for his sealed 12" sub, should sound like a monster, unless you are thinking to get a pair.

This a big ass amp, whole thing is shining silver with a big spider in the middle, amp alone would cost you ard $1,800. But do double check with them again.

Re: Amp and sub advise ..
If you are looking for TR500/4, then a brand new one should cost your around that region from a distributor, unless you have other very good leads. Or is it TRA series that you are looking for? Check out www.soundstream.com and make sure you shop for the right stuff.

Re: Amp and sub advise ..
What HU are you using now? Tell us what's your existing setup so it's easier to tell you what you need. Soundstream amps are good, if you are just looking for a 4 or 5 channel amp, but finding the right combo is the key.

Re: Amp and sub advise ..
get the sub first...then get the amp to pump. Not the other way round.
when u mention "do it all", u mean just for the sub alone ? then its easy, and correct.
if u can get 600wrms into a decent sub... it will be enough for starters. And its arguable....300 may also be enough.
do your own homework and check out which soundstream amp can give u that...then its good enough.
i wouldnt pay $800 let alone $1800 for the tarantula...keke...
Sub have single voice coil and dual coil ... they have 4ohms, 2ohms etc type.
