audio set-up for beginners (ARCHIVED)

[notEworthy27]

why? :D

[luckytruck]

less power requirement (generally). those square subs are power hungry kasi. and personally, i have tried the S10 L7 and i preferred the sound of my old school S12ds.

the power requirement is factual, the sound is personal taste/opinion.

luckytruck , so kung power hungry I have to upgrade the electrical systems e.g. alternator, ditributor etc. ? well I guess it all beats down to hearing the setup itself for now...

[luckytruck]

when i said power hungry i meant that they need lots of amplifier power to sound good.

if you will only run one or two subs sing an efficient class D amp, maybe you wil not need to upgrade your electricals, depending on what your stock alternator is.

but, if you are going to compete, i think upgrading your electrical system will help because that is your main source of power.

will having a kicker amp power two S8L7s be enough?

[the_wildthing]

What's the rating of your Kicker amp?

How would you wire your two S8L7 subs?
