My friend wants me to build a car subwoofer for him It is going to have about 5 ft3 of air and its going to be tuned to about 30hz
the sub that he wants is a Dayton DCS385-4 15" Classic Subwoofer 4 Ohm and the amp that he is going to be using is a Pyle PLAD412 4x150W Amplifier 1000W max
Im a little worried about this cause Ive never heard anything about these products, and he has a limited budget 100$sub and a 100$ amp
can someone please self assure me this can go well lol
thanks

I don't know about the pyle. I've never heard good things about those amps.

I also suggest you get the Dayton RS sub instead. Even the 10" would probably best the classic.

Ya thats what i told him...Thanks for that sub info I may change it to that, I am also thinking about telling him to get multiple tang band speakers...do you know any better amps for less them 100$ :dontknow:

where are you located in Canada Or US?
I bought some Visonik 10" subs (3) from XS Cargo, a few years back, and i picked up a Bass Inferno Amp off of EBay, the 2000w mono amp. i also run a 5 Farad capacitor. that rocks my little car.
I didn't build the box to proper specs, I just built it so that it was like 1 cubic foot inside not including the sub. do to limited space and weight it is heavy.
I would look around, my subs were like $40 each and the amp i got was $150
found this on Ebay as well not bad price

I'm not enough into car audio to know, honestly.

I don't think you are going to get much for 100 bucks though. Even a Class D kit costs more than that to construct. I suggest a savings plan.

I'd also suggest you consider an Infinity sub too. They have very low distortion even at high SPL and they stay very linear.

I don't think I couldn't even build an amp from parts for 100 bucks.

I'd up the budget on the amp to afford something like http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_11634_Pioneer+Premier+GM-D7400M.html, there is a decent looking Kenwood in that price range too ($130-$140), and maybe something like http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_16655_Pioneer+Premier+TS-W1208D4.html . I'm not really a Pioneer fanboy or anything, just seemed like a combo that might work for the $200 budget.

Hi Licinius welcome to the shack, thanks, and also ive persuaded him to change to use 4 tang band W5-1138SM 5-1/4" Neodymium Subwoofers today
I may use http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_...GM-D7400M.html, for the amp, but I am still looking for him.
Thanks for the input by the way
