What should I get?
Hey guys I am going to put some bumps in my car and was wondering what everyone would suggest?
|
whatever you can afford. remember a "Name" means nothing in the audio business
|
How many subs you want and what sizes? You looking just to improve the stereo or really blow people away?
|
ALUMAPRO
|
12 ID max
|
Yeah I was looking for something that will blow people away. :twisted:
|
idmax's or jl w7s
|
Get the proper amp or those subs will sound like shit. Definately not for the cheap! Get 4 Sony X-plode 15's.....just kidding :lol:
|
Go to best buy and talk to those guys. Then, listen to their stuff. If you don't want to install it yourself, buy it at best buy and have them do it.
If you want to save some money, write down the brands and model #'s of the stuff you liked at best buy and buy it from the net where it's gonna be a lot cheaper. Then, you install it or have a buddy do it for you. :) |
thanks for all the help guys.
|
ID max blew away the W7 in reveiws and as for alumapro enough said made by NASA VERY NASTY SPEAKER and many other peeps will tell you the same thing
|
There is also a lot of sleeper subs out there to so make sure you look around. But definately get it off the internet. If you bought a sub and amp, you could probably save 100$ if not more.
|
i'll sure check into that thanks twister
|
BB sells shit and does shitty installs :twisted: i hate bb
|
most likely i will go to a local placed Stereo Designs and have it done there they did my reciever.
|
private install shops do the best installs
|
i think so too
|
many best buy sales people do not know that much about audio (some do but if you are new at this you really wont know if they know what they are talking about or not) and if you are looking for quality stuff i really suggest going to another store that carries high end audio
|
i think i will just go local thanks everybody
|
For my deck I went to Best Buy and had them install it. Its fine, nothing wrong with it. As far as the subs and other shit, I took it to a state owned audio store. Hey BigBoss, do you guys have HB Stereo in OK? Thats where I took mine. They'll hook you up good
|
No but we got an Ultimate Electronics. :twisted:

In my '69 Executive (sound system built ~6 years ago), I have an Alpine head unit and V12 amps, and competition-grade JBL speakers and subs. Also had a center console custom-built for my head unit and front speakers, and my trunk completely "remodeled" to showcase my sub box, amp rack, and 1-farad capacitor... with all the wiring completely hidden. However, now I am older and wiser (I think), with much better things to spend money on. I would like to upgrade my '98 SLE's stock system, but I will probably do so with a replacement *stock* head unit, and a single sub & amp with nothing flashy. It'll hopefully sound great inside the car (where it matters), and I'll realistically spend about 10x less than I did on my other car. Just more info for you to ponder... :wink: |
hes wants some ear poppin bass
|
www.respl.com www.teamtreo.com Those are 2 higher end non brands, but you better be ready to spend some money.

thanx

4 of theseTHESE
4 of theseTHESE 2 of theseThese You wanna combine the speakers into pairs , that way you can get them into 4 ohms. Only use the mid and high pass filter on the crossovers and leave the low pass empty, I've tried the other way and this works better. 2 of THESE shoud be enough in a transmission line enclosure, You should not have to give them more than 200 watts a piece if the box is properly desinged. NEVER play with you windows up!With the enclosure , you should be heard about 2 city blocks away and felt 50 feet away , all car alarms should go off and you will be given many tickets . This is the cheapest way to get PAINFUL sound for EVERYONE to enjoy , where ear plugs and be carefull , with the tweeter and mids , you should be able to pump 300.00 watts per pair , THATS ALOT of highs and mids and the transmission line enclosure should only give you bass from about 28hz to about 90hz then skip from 180hz to about 220hz. But when they kick in , you will break you onw window. Any opinions on my suggestions besides crazy? |
JL 12w7 :wink:
|
i read this long post on how the JL W7's really suck, unless you buy the biggest amp JL sells. Which is VERY expensive... It said that if you go with any other and with them they will sound like crap
