    Will this do any damage?

    I'm new to this whole system thing, but i about to buy a few things so to start my 1st one.
    This is what i might get:

    A Sony XS-L121P5 12" subwoofer handles up to 350 watts RMS, and works well in sealed or ported enclosures.

    Key Features:
    five-sided polypropylene cone
    rubber surround
    frequency response 18-2,000 Hz
    power range 90-350 watts RMS
    peak power handling 1200 watts
    sensitivity 89 dB
    top-mount depth 6-5/16"
    sealed box volume: 1.0 cubic feet
    ported box volume: 1.58

    and for the amp:
    ROCKFORD FOSGATE RED 201S TWO (2) CHANNEL AMP
    The SPECIFICATIONS are as follows: 50 Watts x 2 @ 4 ohms RMS,

    100 Watts x 2 @ 2 ohms RMS
    , 200 Watts x 1 @ 4 ohms mono RMS,
    600 Watts Mono peak,
    80 hz crossover high/ low pass,
    12db per octave crossover,
    High level inputs, and Cast aluminum heat-sink

    I own a 92 4dr accord, will this do any damage as far as electrical, i mean i dont think it will its not like its pumping thousands of watts but i'm curious before i start purchasing anything.
    Also what gauge wire do you recommend 4 or 8?
    Thanks again

    sorry i cant directly answer your question but on a side note BUY A PAGER ALARM, a setup like yours will attract theives so fast you're car will be broken into before you know it.

      no it won't do damage, but you wouldn't be pushing the subs...the amp doesn't have enough power...use 4 gauge if you plan on upgrading the amp to a high wattage output...if not 8 gauge should be fine

            1st shouldnt have gone wit da sonyz i hate to say it but for subz and ampz sonyz suck

            second a biggier amp will be needed i say some thing just a step up would be good for you still pretty cheap and you dont sound like a bass head dat wants chest chrushing bass as far as ampz stick to the rockford line there good and they push more then they say they do, wires 8 gauge should be fine for up too 400 watts if u plan on pushing more move up to 4

                    and a side note also always look into getting a higher wattage amp to power speakers, so simply put you can easily have bump without overheating your subs. only down fall is that you have to be careful not to turn the juice up too much because you can blow the subs. also i would look into getting a jensen great for begginers and rarely overheat. plus very affordable

                      ya but if u have biger amp then your subz can take you can find a fuse that will handle a lil bit more then your subs so that if u do send too much juice to them the fuse blows and not your subs i would say as far as amps like i said any good mono block rockford, audioban, bazooka or alpine should be more then what your looking for if u want some real power look in to orion and ma audiotec they make some of the best stuff when it comes to high end subz and ampz


                      seeing as you got your stuff pretty cheapi would say run it as u have it if your on a budget lolz i kno how dat is, i mean some thing is better then notting

                      http://www.sounddomain.com/sku/ROCRFP4110 ( these subz will hit hard as Fu*k and are under 100 buckz a each)

                      http://www.sounddomain.com/sku/ROC501BD ( will be more power then i think you will need but bass can be like crack once your on it your hooked )

                            Who said sony sucks??? I have 2 sony 12's with a sony 800 watt amp and it hits way harder than my friends 2 kicker 12's with 2 300 watt amps. I don't care what anyone says about sony sterio equipment but i see no problem with it. Not only does it hit hard but it also looks nice.

                              ^ u just said it your sonys are pushed by 800 watts while your friends are being pushed by 600 total your up 200 watts not only that but the wires used and the boxes the subs are in matter too.

                              but when you talk to tru car audio ppl they will tell you sony makes crappy stuff when it comes to car audio they over rate there stuff and its very weak and by the way you spelled stereo wrong.
