im lookin for 1 or maybe 2 12"s to go in an 2001 eclipse. im somewhat new to this, ive had a few systems but i want something thats gonna bang the hell out of me and everyone who gets in my car. what are some good brands along with good amps that arent gonna break my bank?
i know a guy who will custom build a sub to w e you want he has 05 shocker sig 4hp an team rf motors can pick from 3 different spiders setups n coils. Could do a 12 for right around 400. where u from?
unless you plan on upgrading your electical you won't be able to power a real hungy spl sub. you can effectively push about 1200wrms on your stock system. 2 15's that add up to that rating would work best for you. 2 12's would still work but the cone area of the 15's would increase sound levels. a single 18" is also an option.
dustin, this guy is a newbie and is prolly still recovering from your post. just keep it a little simpler. Get 2 15 atomic or fi btl. used if you can, and put the biggest amp you can afford on them. or as much as they can handle. Do you just want strictly spl or do you want great sq with the ability to feel the noise in your throat?
lmao if you want true spl should get the 05 sig motor with quad stiff spiders but you can only use a dual 1.5 coil casue the gap is so small, but with 3k and a ported box tuned to 40hz would be insanely loud.
If you want to keep it simple and not upgrade the alternator, you could go with an amp in the 500 rms range. Find you an amp that will push a clean 500 rms for you, giving you a little head room and it will help to amp to run more efficient and provide a nice, clean signal. From there look for a sub with high sensitivity so you can get the most from your 500 rms. Going this route, you're really going to have to focus a lot also on your enclosure. It could make or break your output. Just to give you an idea of how much a "good" alternator would run, a 250 amp for my car is $489. I too have a two door coupe sort of like your car. You would need atleast a 200 amp to maintain 2k rms. However, in a small coupe, you may not need or want a full 2k, unless you're really looking to get super loud. You can do a lot with 1k or less. Your install and good choices in equipment will be the most crucial aspects here.
true true skd, install is a big part. you could take some crappy sub an build an amazing box and itll be loud or take a badass sub an build a crappy box an itll sound awful.
Spl doesn't start with woofers or really with amps. Starts with an over built electrical system and boxbuilding. And before you buy a sub I would check measurements and see how much actual airspace you have. And its not how big the motor is on a woofer or how big the coil is. Its what will work best in your application
Not much guys. Haven't been on much due to not being into. Audio much anymore. In time though lol. Been making my truck more custom and show then audio. How are you guys
uhh, I know of a body lift, but what is a body drop? Couldn't really get more than 1/2 inch. or are you talking of dropping the whole truck body and frame?
I can think of 18 different reasons not to do that. haha just messin with you. Im more into lifts and big tires. I can appreciate a nice lowrider though
