hell yeah, toes are 10's? r 12's what amp you got pushing them?

 

forgive me, but why would you need a switch for the amp to cut it off? my amp turns off when the radio goes off.

save up and get a better set up, those subs look mad cheap man

 

It's a start...

I feel ya for not dropping big bucks the first time: gotta learn what you need and what's overkill.

I dropped a lot on my first build and the sub is total overkill... I like it though

 

yea .. get a new deck too the sexy alpine 7" indash dvd ouuuu weeee...

yea get a better setup pretty ghetto having to use a switch for the amp

get jl's ! .. i got two tens in my trunk.. i think they are w series.. forget which number... i wish they were w7's... n e ways .. the subs are powerfull enough to shake the snow off my car .. hahaha

 

you need to connect the remote turn on lead of the amp to a switched 12v source on the radio.

the radio has a 12v source (battery power, this is its memory and main power source)

and it also has a 12v switched source from the ignition when the key is in.
run a relay and use that as a switching source.

its the yellow/red wire on the oem radio harness.

 

Im still tryna figure out if I want these 15's and have no trunk space or sell them.

 

i have one 15 kicker comp. and plenty of room, you can make room.

 

i have two kicker cvr 15's and an under powered amp pushing them and i think its way overkill. not only on the loudness but i have nooo trunk at all. id love a new setup with one 15 put way in the back with a grill covering it so i could use my trunk again..

 

Two diamond 12s in the trunk with plenty of room

Its better to go with some cheap stuff first, so you know if bass is really right for you. For some, they end up not liking the bass, for most, they love it and end up spending too much on it all.

 

Definitely one of my favorite setups.

I roll with a single JL 12W3v2 in a 1cu ft sealed enclosure and about 350W running to the sub and it's a lot of umph.

I really need to invest in better interior gear at some point: the sub is plenty powerful but I could use some better separation up front and of course, more power.

 

hey where did you get you box? it sick.:vomit:

 

haha
i expected those reaction

for the person who asked

they're 10s

they are cheap ones
but they sound decent
and i wanted something to start off with
to see what I like
My friend has JL and he loves it, but to me its way overkill

I would like in dash dvd, but I dont see ones i like that are less than say $350-400
i would really prefer the in dash(not flip up ones)

And the switch wasnt my idea, it was my friends
but I like it because I dont always want bass, like if I'm listening to music that really doesnt sound good with bass.

 

i got a kill switch for my amp just in case a cop is near by and it really helps lol. am i gonna have to show my setup lol

 

haha i use my switch for that too

if you wanna show, go ahead

im curious as to what it looks like

 

looking through eBay dvd in dash

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/838-...OR-RDS-DVD-MP4-PLAYER_W0QQitemZ290199492042QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item290199492042

realize its no name brand, but its kinda cool
the bid will go up
but is it worth it or not worth the chance of it failing
it has a lot of features, and according to the menu it has gps
which would be sick with a TV tuner, sd card reader, and dvd, mp3 and more

 

just realize, it wont be up to the standards of name brand units.

 

yea..like ^ said..pictures wont look anywhere near as clear as a clarion, jvc, etc..if u want good sh*t..u just have to pay for it..its better to just save up and buy something thats worth it man..

 

what do the good brands run for?
ive seen some for like 400 and ive seen some for like 1200

anything thats decent, but not too expensive either?

kinda like a panasonic, good, but not quite as good as the sony
(not necessarily true, just an example)

 

hmm thats pretty nice

but i want a 7" screen

so Im gonna have to let it wait, as I got other things I need to buy

anyone got radar detector recommendations that are in the $50-100 range?

 

cobra... $60 radioshack. hasnt failed me yet.

 

thanks

at first i thought you were talking about HU's

Hey great start, if you really want a great sound get a EQ and you would have no need for that switch to turn the subs up and down

 

just in case someone wanted a pic and please excuse the mess.

 

oh snap



oh snap!

 

Do they make tv's that can retrack themselves just like the dvd decks?

 

I went with 3 10's because I like Alternative as well as hip hop and as far as a dash unti goes you only need a pioneer. The pioneer lets you adjust High Pass/Low Pass Filters, EQ, Sub On/Off, and many more functions. Its the best bang for the buck and it has the best Tuner availible on the market.

where the hell you be at man?

 

Oh we got camel jokes huh.....I just noticed that Wyatt is dropping out of the A game and that Business man got his car looking like something out of a Paul Wall video (tight ass sh!t homie). yeah sorry guys I am out of commish for a bit wont be back until July to visit and then back here kissing camels and tossing dirt until December '08. But I dont want ot hi Jack this thread. Tell that man to get a Pionner and stop playin around with all that AudioVox crap. I promise you you wont spend a lot if ou go to the Pawn shop or the Flea Markets and you will get the sound you're looking for. Or go the Best Buy route like I did and pay a little more for a warranty (that will never be used).

 

its a photoshop, sorry to let you down... lol

 

I went balls out with my first system and probably paid about as much as you did. It helps paying attention to sales and eBay

As for your sounds, wow...coulda warned me the video was gonna be amped too :rofl: sounds like it beats. but 10s?


Oh Jeremy, 15s....as long as you get a box that can slide all the way back, will fit fine...

Mine didn't slide all the way back. so i lost a goo 30% worth of trunk floor simply from that.

I had/Have 15" MB Quart DWE 354s, XTANT 302a 2channel amp, stock headunit. i wired everything to run at about 600watts RMS. it pounded, but it wasn't done to pound. i wanted clean, tight, deep bass that could knock when i wanted it to. So it was stupid clean when i turned the bass down, but got indignant and loud when i cranked it up...

Made my friend's stomach upset .

Granted it wasn't the hardest hitting on the block, or at the Ft. Washington meet (that went to Cudaman with his dual amp setup 2 720s powering each 15" sub), it definitely held its own against most people out there. and when it came time to blast some Bombs over bahgdad or something with stupid kicks that can hang a sub up, mine shined through.

AS for the headunit. I liked the stock headunit! it was great, still wouldn't change my setup...other than completely remove the headunit and place just a touch screen monitor with no buttons on its face and do a Mobile PC system. The Stock headunit kept me safe from people breaking into cars...they hit everyone's car but mine. because of the stock headunit.

 

Oh Jeremy, 15s....as long as you get a box that can slide all the way back, will fit fine...

they barely make it into the trunk.

I may have a foot of trunk space when there in there...

I may re-cut the box I have and make it shorter and thinner width wise.

 

If there is a plus for stock head unit that would be it, but ask yourself...do you really want your car to sound like you have a trunk full of cans whenever you turn your volume up? I have my box ported through a custom baffle on the rear deck so that the bass flows through the cab. So with the windows up and the volume up the car bangs but doesnt rattle. With the windows down you can hear me down the block 'Beat'n Pictures off your wall'. Rather its Blink 182 or Dipset, and people are surprised by the setup only being 3 10's...trust me. Its about the setup not the biggest speakers you can fit in your trunk.

Photoshop gets me everytime..looks nice though.

 

I think we may have the same box... do you gain anything besides space putting the box in upsode down? or does it keep the trunk from rattling or somthing?

 

I think the sound ended up being more amplified in the car than it was outside the car with it upside down. it kinda like made the bass way more pronounced inside the car than outside. which is why it could beat like crazy and you could hear it 3 blocks away with the windows open, but standing infront of the trunk it was "eh" standing outside the door would have your pants shaking and trembling..

To be quite honest though, aside from all that...that was the first way i was able to get it in the car:lol:, so i everytime i put it in, i just put it in that way.

Lane by far, To my knowlege, has the best set up, im looking to get somthing similar in the future. If i remember correctly it was somthing like 4 bills.

I'll tell you who had the best setup...

Fut

Fut's setup is the ultimate 15 in my humble opinion...even though it's more for SQ than SPL, his is perfect. Perfectly tuned too so it's not just willy nilly!

That's what inspired me to get 15s...
