I am installing a setup in my friends car. I am putting it all togather so I want to be sure that I don't make a mistake.
1992 Volvo 940 4 door sedean
Amplifier - JBL 1200.1
* Amplifier Type: Mono
* RMS Power: 600W x 1 @ 4 ohms
* Bridged RMS Power: 1200W x 1 @ 2 ohms
* THD at Rated RMS Power: 0.1%
* Speaker Level Inputs: Yes
* Preamp Outputs: No
* Built-In Crossovers: LP
* Bass Boost: 0-6 dB
* Frequency Response: 10-320 Hz
* Channel Separation: n/a
* Signal to Noise Ratio: 100 dB
* Fuse Rating: 3 x 40 amps
Subwoofers - Phoenix Gold Ti15D
# Subwoofer Size 15"
# Impedance Dual 4 ohms
# Dual Voice Coil Yes
# Peak Power Handling 800W
# RMS Power Handling 550W
# Surround Material Rubber
# Sealed Box Volume 1.25 - 1.75 cubic ft.
# Sensitivity 88dB
# Frequency Response N/A
# Top Mount Depth 7-1/2"
# Cutout Diameter 13-7/8"
As for the box choice it's not solid...
But I have been considering the
SubZone - H-152LQ
Dual 15" Sealed 3/4" MDF Box - 1.5cf per sub
$99.99 @ thezeb...
How much polyfill would you suggest for each sub?
Scosche 1000 watt installation kit (100amp fuse) amplifier installation kit.
He is running this system off a
Sony CDX-S2000 deck
Does this system look good to you guys?
thanks!
Hope you all are having a great day!

The major issue you will face is feeding enough current to that 1200.1 amp. It will draw over 100A of current from the electricals just for the sub amp, when he cranks it up.
In most cases, one needs to upgrade the BAT/ALT to a higher output system. In this case, 150A., plus from the ALT and a BAT that has >800 CCA rating. Installing larger power wires between AT/BAT, BAT/GND and doubling the ground from engine block to body are recommended. A #4 gage upgrade will help a lot here as stock wires are generally #8 or maybe #6 wires.
As for power line/ground feeds to this amp. Need a #4 gage wiring kit minimum. If he even has a consideration to add a full range amp later for mids and highs, drop to a #2 gage kit and D-block.
As for this stk alt, need to fiond out the output rating on same. A few calls to a dealer or a good autoparts store will tell you what options are common to this vehicle. If you do need to upgrade, a 150A., ALT is minimum I would recommend for this system.
Check these guys out and see what they have avialable for this 940 Volvo. You may have to call or e-mail for information on higher output versions that will fit into stk location.
