Setting up a complete system...NEED ADVICE
|
Unregistered guest | I own a 1985 Monte Carlo SS in which i am trying to build a system for. I know a little bit about car audio, but not near as much as you all. I have about $1,000 to spend on everything (subs, amps, wiring, speakers, capacitors, boxes, etc...). I can get any head unit I want under $350 FREE from Crutchfield.com (please tell me which one is best & why) I am wanting THUMP in my system but also good SQ. I am planning on buying Q-Logic kick panel enclosures for 6.5'' speakers. My trunk mesaures 48 inches tall X 68 inches wide. I am open to anything and would love to have a radical system. I also would like it to be somewhat readily removable, because this car runs high 11's low 12's, (I race this car, and don't need anything but motor weighing it down.) I would like if y'all gave me your opinion on what to get from top to bottom. Thanks 100. post here or AIM: Prof Dyablo |

If you want a kick @ss box I think you can get a preloaded box from Powered4sound.com for 500. Add 200 for the amp....and that leaves you 300 for the rest...dont get a cap get an alternator. Get a wiring kick from walmart or something that should be about 30....so you have close to 270 to get the kicks and dont waste your money on rear components... |

Bronze Member Username: XxxZagrebCroatia Post Number: 13 Registered: Oct-04 | http://www.visit-croatia.co.uk/photos/ Check it out, let me know what you think. You probably wanto know about caraudio here. Best brands we can buy here is RF and kicker, there's no jl, mtx, pg, re, adire.... Price of kicker kx600.1 here is $800. On ebay it can be found for $250. That's why averege croatian system is pioneer deh3600, some kenwood speakers, lanzar amp and pyle sub. I see that nobody here doesn't have less then 2 subs, here only spl comps have 2 subs and their smthing like rf punch Z or HE. Compared to you americans we'r probably 10 years behind  |

Gold Member Username: GlasswolfNorthWest, Michigan USA Post Number: 5804 Registered: Dec-03 | sweet well, I've done a number of systems with a single sub, but most folks are pretty bass crazy around here so bigger = better in their minds. you do gain +3dB from the second sub though, and another +3dB if the power is doubled to match the added sub, so it's certainly a noticeable difference.. particularly at lower volumes. At present though I am only using a single sub in my Jeep.. mostly to conserve cargo room. |
