New member Username: Wildman96Clovis, California United states Post Number: 1 Registered: May-07 | i just bought a new car. 2007 camry se. I'm planning to put a system in it. I like sq but i want more bass from my system and i like it loud. it has an upgraded radio stock. jbl speakers 6disk etc.. replacing the head unit is a pia to do because of the way they wired everything so i think i'm gona stick with the oem head unit for now. I was thinking of adding 2 12w6v2 jl subs. i have 2 rockford 500bd amp i was thinking about using. Or is the jl 1000/1 amp gona sound much better. and anytips on installing into my system. I'm kinda new to intallations and they wana charge alot of money to intall. sugestions wanted. |

New member Username: Wildman96Clovis, California United states Post Number: 2 Registered: May-07 | sure honestly i could spend up to 3k on a system but would like to stay around 2k or less. less that still sounds good to me and load is important |

New member Username: Wildman96Clovis, California United states Post Number: 4 Registered: May-07 | I'd like to not take up to much space in my trunk but i would say 2 speakers max and either 10's or 12's are fine. i like tight sounding base but it all depends. what you got for ideas? |

How much can you get each woofer for?. How many shops have you got estimates from? What did you tell them you wanted done? How much, if any, experience do you have installing audio equipment? |

Gold Member Username: Tdeaton1021Near Tampa, Florida USA Post Number: 4237 Registered: Sep-04 | the 12w6v2s are good woofers but to save money you could go with a number of different woofers. for example 2 AQ SD2.5 12s 2 SI BM 12s 2 RD classic 12s 2 SS Rl-i 10s 2 mach 5 maw 12s or if you can wait til summer 2 AA assassin 12s and theres more... |

New member Username: Wildman96Clovis, California United states Post Number: 6 Registered: May-07 | ok good to know they charging to much |
|
Silver Member Username: Mike11202DE US Post Number: 436 Registered: Nov-06 | i think you should go with the TC Sounds 10" OEM if i had the money id grab these up right away  this is a GREAT deal for some awesome subs would be perfect in your situation.. only needs 0.6 cu ft after port and sub displacement get them while their on sale.. once there sold out there will be no more produced http://www.tcsounds.com/ |

Silver Member Username: 04redmach1Columbus, GA USA Post Number: 630 Registered: Mar-06 | Ya for real. I can get you 2 RD Audio Classic 12's or Sonance 12's and amp to match ALOT cheaper than any JL product. the Classic SQ is similar to the W6 as well, I am VERY impressed with thse subs. Shoot me an email, I'll help you out if I can and bring you to the dark side of non mainstream  Kevin lowhz01@yahoo.com |

Post Number: 743 Registered: May-04 | Well im sure you can get something cheaper than JL but from my personal experience the w6 is a great sub, you will not be disappointed if you go with JL it has great SQ and gets pretty loud. I know they are overpriced but theyre really nice IMO. Also they can be used in small enclosures and sound great. |

Silver Member Username: Mike11202DE US Post Number: 468 Registered: Nov-06 | Hes saying that the amps you have are underated for that sub.. I remember you saying you were willing to buy another amp to power them with TC theyll move great with the amp i suggested Reece With the money your saving by buying the TC Sounds you can get the Hifonics BXi 2006D |
