shadyone Posted July 30, 2012 Report Share Posted July 30, 2012 I'm about 10 years out also. I just started researching again about a week ago to get caught back up with everything. Kicker stuff still seems to be decent, but for what your getting it seems to be very pricey. I always liked alpine headunits as well, and as yours did, mine was stolen.Last system I had was in my IROC. 2 8" L7s and a Kicker 600Watt AMP. Kicker 6x9s in the back and front doors. with Old School alpine amps running the 6x9s. and an Alpine head unit. Sounded awesome. Was also stolen. but they didnt take the face plate that was in the center console. also only took the head unit and my Snowboard gloves. Left my jacket CDs subs and amp. stupidass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldschoolsdime92 Posted July 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2012 (edited) With this set up , I want somthing that sounds crystal clear. Like I'm sitting in the recording studio. Yes some spl is fun when I'm in a rap mood, but that's not too often. Edited July 30, 2012 by oldschoolsdime92 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helmutt Posted July 30, 2012 Report Share Posted July 30, 2012 Alpine V12 and Fosgate Punch 100 bridged running a pair of Punch Audiophile 12's ( rubber rolled edge for tight, short throw bass - metal/rock oriented ) w/pairs of 5x7's & 6-1/2's 3-way. Was all I could muster money for in my 92 range xcab. It was crankin loud for a small truck but my ears have been beaten to death enough because of that system and several bands worth of abuse Components were good quality, but far from top shelf equip. Told I needed a farad or 2 cap to help the bass from crashing my alternator on loud night cruises, but ended up fattening the replacement alt's amperage once the OEM finally folded.I didnt know much about car audio back then but a couple of friends helped steer me to what I should use to suit the music and sound I wanted. I still dont know much about whats best for what app, but did learn "some" useful tidbits. Hope your box and audio setup works out man, about all I can help with is to fulfill your wiring needs thru my work. I can build cables from 18ga up to 2/0 if you need discounted power/grounds.

oldschoolsdime92 Posted July 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2012 I really haven't set one. All I know is I want to stay 4-600 watts, and one sub. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rawlins87 Posted July 30, 2012 Report Share Posted July 30, 2012 Sorry but that's not much help. You could get a 600 watt Morel sub for $600 or another 600 watt sub for $225 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldschoolsdime92 Posted July 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2012 I'd like to keep the sub price 300 or under. Maybe 600 for the sub/amp. I won't be replacing until winter. I know that's not a huge budget, but like I said I'm not trying to get real crazy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vf1000ride Posted July 30, 2012 Report Share Posted July 30, 2012 My last car stereo I had was in a 2001 VW GTI. This was the week I finished installing it so I hadn't hidden all the wires yet or gotten the battery and cap mounted.JL 300/4 on the seat for mid/highs. Subs are Eclipse 88100dvc 10" wired parallel for 1ohm . Orion HCCA 275G4 running 1200W.My Audio Control EQL and some of the passive crossovers.

oldschoolsdime92 Posted July 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2012 my first amp....I remember those. You had to splice the power wires together, because it had a big lead running from it, instead of a block you hooked power into. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shittygsxr Posted July 30, 2012 Report Share Posted July 30, 2012 Ok Rawlins, I need at least four 8" subs probably shallow mount for the Benz it needs to be low profile so it doesn't look gangsta and good quality cause its my benz. What are you suggesting subs and amp? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magley64 Posted July 30, 2012 Report Share Posted July 30, 2012 Lol, jensen!My first setup in high school, I had a pioneer head unit, forget the model number but it had a pop out volume knob, and the oled display all blue-green and the demo mode played race car scenes and dolphins and stuff...Then I bought a pair of jensen 12's (with the rediculously thick foam surround)And a jensen 300 watt amp.I later bought a second 300 watt jensen and bridged them so each amp was pushing 1 subAhh, the good ol days, lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldschoolsdime92 Posted July 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2012 (edited) I'm looking forward to my box build. I'm just in great debate on ported or sealed. Ive got time and materials. I'll try ported first , and if I don't like it, ill go sealed. Edited July 30, 2012 by oldschoolsdime92 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rawlins87 Posted July 30, 2012 Report Share Posted July 30, 2012 Depends on the sub. Or if you want one box over the other chose a sub from there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
