Silver Member Username: CaraudioToronto, Ontario Canada Post Number: 281 Registered: Sep-05 | Id reccomend you spend 150 on one really good sub. 1 12" would do you nice. Plus youd better get a mono channel amp bro save up. Tell you the truth i spend 180 on my 2 lanzar 12" subs and 180 on my lanzar 1200 watt amp now im pushing 1000RMS and my civic trunk cant take it tell you teh truth prolly the best system ive heard my self in person forget all that mumbo jumbo about name brand bro i didnt go wrong with my system. I still hear people say that lanzar sucks but id love for them to hear my system on the real.
Check stuff im running if you want, plus i paid 360 canadain for the subs and amp and 75 bucks for a 4 port bandpass box. |

New member Username: Sureshot30Post Number: 6 Registered: Oct-05 | ok, hmmmm... so you guys wanna help me out and go on ebay find a setup for me (sub(s), amp) cuz now i dont know what to look for. remember i have a limited budget | |
|
Gold Member Username: James1115Wilton, Ct Post Number: 4053 Registered: Dec-04 | that amp saying 1600 on the front is "false advertising" trying to lead noobies in the car audio world to believe thats what it puts out. I would use that amp for your mids and highs if you absolutely want to use it and get a designated sub amp. Not to burrst your bubble or anything man but Cuspid is not very good. I am not being a D!CK just trying to help you out. Old Lanzar equipment is nice I am not to fond of the new stuff. | |
|

Gold Member Username: James1115Wilton, Ct Post Number: 4056 Registered: Dec-04 | well first you need to pick a budget. What type of music do you listen to and how much room do you want to use with the box? | |
|
Gold Member Username: RovinTrinidad & T... Post Number: 1362 Registered: Jul-05 | Since he's new this should give him a general idea of products http://pub14.ezboard.com/fcaraudiotalkfrm27.showMessage?topicID=27.topic | |
|
Bronze Member Username: Sureshot30Post Number: 11 Registered: Oct-05 | alright james, um... total system prob around 350. i listen to evvvvverything, but with subs ill probably just listen to rap/hiphop. i do wanna use a box, and its gonna in a truck thats about 3 feet wide and a foot and a half tall. | |

Gold Member Username: James1115Wilton, Ct Post Number: 4058 Registered: Dec-04 | you know what I dont get on that is why is the new PPI stuff in questionable and the Directed(dei) is in good when Directed makes the new PPI stuff? That is a decent list to go by but some things are a little questionable. | |
|
Gold Member Username: James1115Wilton, Ct Post Number: 4059 Registered: Dec-04 | ok well thats a small budget do you want wiring included in that price, what about instalation are you gonna do it yourself or pay for it? | |
|
Bronze Member Username: Sureshot30Post Number: 12 Registered: Oct-05 | i have a wiring kit picked out for 30, its 4 guage, and my friend and i are gonna put it in, his has two cars with systems in it, so he knows how to do it. by the way that link helped alot. i wanna get something from the good catorgory. | |
|
Gold Member Username: RovinTrinidad & T... Post Number: 1364 Registered: Jul-05 | If they made a 5th catagory like an "OK" on that list then some of the products could fall into that rather than just being grouped from bad, questionable, good . But its good that some1 took the time to @ least create a general guide . |

Gold Member Username: James1115Wilton, Ct Post Number: 4064 Registered: Dec-04 | can you use ebay? I would look into Kicker,JBL,MTX,Directed for amps, and cerwin vega v-max for a sub. IMO its one of the best subs you can get for the money on ebay. | |
|
Bronze Member Username: Sureshot30Post Number: 13 Registered: Oct-05 | i was plannin on buyin everything off ebay to make it easier on me, im searchin cerwin vega now | |
|
Bronze Member Username: Sureshot30Post Number: 14 Registered: Oct-05 | ok, if i wanna buy one big sub, then how much rms watts should i be lookin for if i want to be *heard*! | |
|
Gold Member Username: James1115Wilton, Ct Post Number: 4067 Registered: Dec-04 | 1 CV 15 will be heard I would get a CV vmax 15 with a kicker 600.1 |
