I think what he's trying to say is that there aren't many people in to that here on SC. My stereo is for my listening pleasure, not the listening displeasure of everyone within a 20 ft radius.
I used to have 2 JL 12W3s sealed box in my previous car (Olds Aurora) with a JL 500w. Sold the amp, still have the subs in the basement... Those things were pretty cool. The box was custom made at Tweeter, very high quality, and after a few years the subs still managed to rip it apart a bit
i kind of agree with white t5 but that still looks pretty nice , I've been thinking of putting some rockford fosgate in a few weeks but something conservative not too loud
Yeah i`m bass head still at age 29 .no pics at the moment but i`m running 2 re audio sex 12inch d4`s,1500 rms mono block autotek mm 1 amp,custom box tuned to 35hz,sony deck with ipod cable in glove box,hc-800 kinetic battery in the trunk along with stock battery in the engine,all ran on 4awg wire.no dimming at all when i pound.yeah b i`m shaking houses!turn it down every once in a while to hear that dump valve blow off!
depends what music you listen to really, bass below 40hz played on my stock system is inaudiable.evern high end midrange speakers arnt designd to play below 40hz to hit thoose low notes you need to move alot of air which requries a speaker with a big surface area.
u did a great job dude ;ol; . i need to get a better enclosure for my subs bc its like really big i might just get a single box for both of mine bc it wont take up so much room then lol
I will have to post pictures latter, but I did have a couple of 10" kicker l7's in a ported box with a 1000 watt alpine v12 amp. Was too damn loud for me and one of the subs developed a rattle so I pawned them off on someone else who thought they could fix it.
As soon as I can find, make or trade for a single 12 box I will be putting a single JL 12w3v3 with kicker amp in my saab. Total cost for the speaker and amp...$90...Spent $80 on them amp, and my cousin gave me the JL when he went to iraq. I had to replace a tensile lead so that cost me about $10...Not a bad set-up for under $100.
Two 12'' Alpine Type-R's bridged 2Ohms and pushed by 1,5 Kw RMS.
I thought to measure how much Db i get and sell this cause it's really too much for daily usage. But otherways ... i'm not sure if i dare :cheesy:
i had a 12w7 in my durango, blew it.
then i had 3 12w1s? that i then sold
then i got a alpine plv7 and then sold that
now i have a 12 inch type x that im going to trade for another plv7 and cash for the saab.
how do you hook it up to stock system? i just get the speaker wire-rca box correct?
I'm curious about sound deadening too. I'm getting tired of the "swooshing" sound from behind the back seats. I want my car QUIET. (So I can hear the music better! )
I've got a pretty simple setup. I'm running a single 12w3 off an Alpine PDX 2.150 amp.
It sounds great, but I need to do some sort of rattle reduction, because it rattles the **** out of the whole back half of my car at certain frequencies.
Guys, how are you hooking up to the stock head units in these cars? I have an amp that I would like to drive a set of components or maybe a small sub, speaker level inputs or what?
I'm using a LOC (line output converter). It taps into the signals from the rear speakers and converts it to RCA out.
