System suggestions
I plan on redoing my whole system sometime in the future, Im looking for suggestions. Here is what I have planned so far, just a tentative outline.
Deck - Probably Pioneer, not sure what model though. Speakers - Infinity, 6x9s in the rear deck, 6.5s in the doors, and a set of Q-Form kick panel enclosures to put a 5.25 component set in. Amplifiers - Probably either Kicker or Rockford Fosgate. I will be needing to run speakers and subs, what is the best way to power everything without buying like 18 amps? Subwoofers - I really like Kicker, but I dont know what size to go with. Im thinking I should run two subs, either 10s or 12s, and I also cant decide what kind of box to use. I listen to both rap and rock/alternative. I think I should also run a capacitor, but I dont know what size to get. Any comments and suggestions are much appreciated. Thanks guys. |

You can see my system in my sig and in my gallery (feel free to rate/leave a comment;)) and I like my set-up but sometimes I think its to much. Anyways, I have a Mobile Authority 1.0 farad cap, and when my bass is on +3 (out of +10) with a song that has a smidge more bass then normal, well it makes the engine rev up to give the power that it needs, which is something I really dont like doing. Its awful w/ the AC on so I either have to choose bass or AC. So usually, if I have my subs way up I turn as much off electrically as possible.

Currently I have a Pioneer deck, stock front speakers, Pioneer 6x9s in the rear, and 360 watt Rockford Fosgate amp driving a single 10" Kicker Comp VR. I also have a .5 farad cap, and its not even enough. I think I need to get a higher amp alternator before i do much more with my system. Right now my system sounds good, but I want it to sound great.

RE: System suggestions
I cant go without AC in the Tennessee summers. Too humid. But you definitely dont want to wait until your alternator craps out, it sucks being stranded lol.

RE: System suggestions
Tell me about it! Illinois' summers are awful to. I just jam, and let the sweat drench me. Thats why windows roll down! lmao Im assuming your alternator crapped out. About how many miles did this happen?

RE: System suggestions
how much bass you want? Go with components in the front and 6.5 or 6x9 in the rears. Put a good amp on them or you wont hear them. For subs I run 2 jl 10w0 in a custom box. it has a decent amount of bass but not over kill. I am pushing them with a jl 250/1.

About how many miles did this happen? I hate being drenched in sweat, especially since when I go to work, Im in uniform lol. Its not like I can wear a t-shirt and shorts to work, unfortunately. Well, except for PT. ORIGINAL: 94acccorn how much bass you want? Go with components in the front and 6.5 or 6x9 in the rears. Put a good amp on them or you wont hear them.

RE: System suggestions
What does PT stand for? lol Probably something really easy and i'll feel like an idiot! haha Oh well.
You should seriously consider checking out my system. All I use for bass control is my Aiwa deck and it can be normal, but when its on +10 for bass you better watch out. I mean, my Volfenhag subs shake the mirrors like crazy and even give you a mini massage! haha Plus, one of them has a bad voice coil! Let me know if you need more specifics. Oh yeah, the Volfenhags aren;t that pricey either. |
