New member Username: KrazyjKy Post Number: 8 Registered: Jan-06 | Ok here it goes. I have a 2005 neon sxt. I have $2,000 to spend (not including head unit)im leaning more to the spl side. what should i get? i need suggestions. i was thinking 4 12" kicker cvrs,infinity 6x9 2 ways in the rear, infinity kappa 6.5s in the front,Hifonics amp 1600rms@1 ohm, and hifonics amp 75x4 @ 4 ohms. |
Silver Member Username: Night_mirageAmmanJordan Post Number: 226 Registered: Jan-06 | 2000$ that will be a monestor system for your car . but you have to choose another sub's and amplifier . with that budget you can get the best sub's especially you liked spl . JL W7 RE xxx Kicker cvx . |
Gold Member Username: Young_jamesCanada Post Number: 1165 Registered: Sep-05 | ^^agreed. You can get much better equipment than what you stated with $2000. Also, you don't need rear speakers if your getting a system like that. The only reason you would need them is if you carry people in the back and you want them to hear it too. Most people just get components up front and forget about the back. Also, you could go with RE subs. They are better than the kicker and still in your budget. I'll leave it up to rovin to build you a system. He's excellent at that |
New member Username: KrazyjKy Post Number: 9 Registered: Jan-06 | what are some good 12s other than JL. I dont want JL because the dealer here only sales JL and RF. I wanted to try somthin different. |
Silver Member Username: Night_mirageAmmanJordan Post Number: 227 Registered: Jan-06 | try RE products ,, www.reaudio.com and as James said Rovin is excellent at choosing system . |
Silver Member Username: AlteraudiousaConcord Post Number: 595 Registered: Jan-06 | I would get two Dayton MKIII or a Stereo Integrity Mag 15. Buy a USAMp Merlin MD2 which I can get you and also can get you some nice components for up front from CDT. I would keep the rear stock speakers in there since the sub will more than likely overpower them. Get a solid 200x2 amp from ZED Audio or get the Nine.2x from ED to power the components. Use the remaining money on wires, new battery and possibly a HO alty. |

Gold Member Username: CarguyPost Number: 5470 Registered: Nov-04 | Jo, why would you want SPL? Why not SQL instead? SPL is nothing but loud noise. It gets old very fast. Nothing wrong with stores selling JL. It is one of the best. Instead of getting 4 subs in a small neon, you can get 1 12" W7 in HO box or 2 10W7 in HO boxes. It will sound much louder and better than cheap subs. If you still long for SPL, then get couple of RE 15" MT and it will destroy your car. |
Silver Member Username: Comp98Philadelphia, PA USA Post Number: 177 Registered: Sep-05 | So does this $2,000 include wiring, installation, and an upgrade to your electrical system including a HO alternator? (I bet it doesn't and a Neon probably can't handle 2000 watts RMS system on stock.) I would go with an SQL system to start off on like Issac said. An RE SX is a mix of SQL and SPL- my single SX12 sounds great but will get really loud if I need it to. You need the right amps and electrical system to get what you need. |
Silver Member Username: TheweaselPost Number: 115 Registered: Mar-06 | here you go 3 15" Alpine type r's 1 hifonics bxi 2006d amp orion 3002 amp JL Audio TR650-CSI components ho alternator should be about $1531 for everything from onlinecarstereo.com, but the ho alternator you'll have to get elsewhere if you have any money left over have TCAB build you a box. This system will blow your car the f.uck up!!!!!! |

New member Username: J_b_mFL Post Number: 3 Registered: Apr-06 | If you want spl, go with either Atomic APXX's, RE MT's or T3 Audio subs. And since a pair of any of those subs will cost you about $1K, I would look for some good used amps like a pair of V4000XD's or XA3000D's or Opti-4000D's. You should be able to get a pair of those amps for under $1K and with those subs and any of those amps, you should be stupid loud. If it's in your budget, maybe even look at the SS XXX6500D's or the new Atomic 5000.1's Good luck. |
Gold Member Username: RovinTrinidad & T... Post Number: 7269 Registered: Jul-05 | my .02 cents i fully agree with what Isaac said - makes absolutely no sense just hearing 'loud noise' , thats just gets old super fast . if u would like 2 avoid any subs JL here goes (oh & i too can't see having 4 ok susb when 2 better subs could be used - or even a single 15") >>> 1 15" Havoc = $425 amp - ppi dcx or Diamond audio D61500.1 = $500 custom made box around = $300 amp for mids/highs - JL 300/4 = $300 6.5 comps - Image Dynamics CXS64 = $300 total = $1825 + s/h ================================================== option 2 : 2 12s all Diamond Audio system 2 12s Diamond audio D6 4ohms dvc model - $229x2 amp - Diamond D61500.1 = $495 6.5 comps - Diamond Audio D661a = $230 amp - Diamond Audio D3 400.2 = $270 box = $300 $1630 , use remaining $ for HO alt , upgrading elec , wires etc . ================================================== Let B/chad give u the Treo subs options too There r a millions choices u can go ..... |
Silver Member Username: Dustin3Tigard, Or U.S. Post Number: 751 Registered: Oct-05 | why is the box so expensive rovin? $300? |
Gold Member Username: RovinTrinidad & T... Post Number: 7275 Registered: Jul-05 | just a rough figure , well thats what ppl on this forum said a pro custom made box with a nice finish costs , could be less . me - i always build my own & all it costs is a sheet of 3/4 mdf , screws , tube of liquid nails & 1 or 1/2yrs of cheap carpet & some glue , 1 day or less or work ....... |

Gold Member Username: RedlinerWilmington, Ma Post Number: 1312 Registered: Jun-05 | how about a dd 9500 for like 900 and then a orion 2500d then the left over for box ho alt and wires.lol butya if you wnat spl then your def gonna need a ho alt contact excessive amperage, iraggi one of those and then wires you will probably need 1 gauge. Its kinda funny how if i started this i would have gotten no responses at all but a girl and she gets everyone lol |
Silver Member Username: AlteraudiousaConcord Post Number: 599 Registered: Jan-06 | why does everyone want to spend all there money on subs.....its music people not bass. |
Gold Member Username: RedlinerWilmington, Ma Post Number: 1315 Registered: Jun-05 | hey i dont i was just giving some advice i want it to sound good. I dont think she knows howloud some of these setups will be if you know what i mean. cause she couldprob get some w6v2's and be happy with them |
Silver Member Username: Terps297Potomac, MD USA Post Number: 186 Registered: Oct-04 | how about... Old RE X.X.X. 15(in a custom box) (around 350+sh?) this may be hard to find, but if your patient one will come up on ebay since the 06 X.X.X. came out and out with the old, in with the new. Elemental Designs NINe.1($350 shipped) (1200+ @1 ohm, this amp puts out a lot more than 1200 a lot of people say) RE X.X.X. 6.5 Component (250-300?) i forget Elemental Designs NINe.2x ($265 shipped) that puts you at roughly $1500 this gives your plenty for your HO ALT+Wiring+sound dead+install. knukonceptz is highly reccomended wiring company everyone here i think uses them, top knotch quality HO alt(prob 200-220amps)...iraggi, excessive, or motor city makes good alternators sound deadning- very crucial part! my 15" DD 3500 is tearing up my car right now and i so wish i had some sound deadning, but however much you put on is up to you, the more you put can't hurt! That's my suggestion, and haha i would actually love to have that in my car |
Silver Member Username: AlteraudiousaConcord Post Number: 600 Registered: Jan-06 | Actually I'd go with Stereo Integrity mag 15 (550 or so) USAmp MD2-350 CDT HD-62-375 ED NIne.2x-265 Its 1540$ And no I don't use Knukonceptz, good price but I can get stuff the same quality at a lesser price, Daytona RCAs. Buy some sound deadener which will run about 300$ for a good amt. |

Bronze Member Username: Andysd03Post Number: 45 Registered: Jan-06 | not as good as alpine type X or treo's people may think Tis are superb but a type X will blow it away. |
Gold Member Username: RzarectorCoquitlam, Bc Canada Post Number: 1047 Registered: Dec-04 | i like the type x's but i seriously cannot see that dude lol |
Silver Member Username: AlteraudiousaConcord Post Number: 605 Registered: Jan-06 | I wasn't impressed with the Ti's especially at the price. Type X has some good SQ but lacks in the output for me. My 3 choices for a sub would Stereo Integrity Mag 12 or 15, Soundsplinter Rl-p, and then Dayton MKIII. Or you could wait for the Stereo Integrity BM series which will compete in price with the rest. The Mag will take the cake though on SQ and SPL against the Ti and the X. |
Gold Member Username: BestmankindLos Angeles, CA USA Post Number: 3605 Registered: Oct-05 | 2 Treo SSi 12 4ohm versions 1 orion 2500d set of focal utopia 165 comps front stage and a nice 2 channle amp to power it. you don't really need the 6 x 9s in the back with the focal utopias as your front stage. all that should cost you a little less than $2000 |
Bronze Member Username: SwisherMarianna, FL Post Number: 30 Registered: Apr-06 | before you spend all you money you need to upgrade with a high output alt because you going to be in trouble if you dont have one with this many watts going through your car get a quote from nate @ excessive amperage(www.excessiveamperage.com or post for a quote in the accessories sections) |
