Old school backyard audio installer

[Grizz81322]

Hey guys like the title I’m a bit old school and im just trying to get my feet wet because of all the new car audio names and car audio products that are coming out and like a dummy I jumped in head first not knowing what is what and I feel like I kind of spent money on a system that don’t really mesh to my ears if u know what I mean it’s I’m kind of all over the place on my system and just want to be put back on the right path before I start spending money especially since I’m on a budget cuz my girl totaled my Maxine and I’m having to rebuild the other Maxine I have faster then expected

What gear did you get?

 

[Grizz81322]

I got a wolfram o-series 2400.1 a skar eq and a skar sdr 10 then I went out to buy a ct tropo 10 I have a cerwin Vega 2000.1 pushing the 1 ten skar sdr haven’t used the wolfram or ct but I know I’m everywhere

Oh not to mention I have a nep audio advanced and I have a few more 4 channels that I’ve picked up through out the yrs but I’m trying to get a bit more consistent because I have all this crap that I don’t know what to set-up especially since everything has changed since I’ve been into car audio

CT's quality is pretty dubious. I've seen one of their woofers in person and it was poorly built and they sold a bunch of amps that actually caught fire several years ago. Not sure what CV is doing these days. They used to sell one amp that had the same internals of something pretty nice but for the most part they're just slapping the brand name on whatever stuff they bought out of the same Chinese catalog everything else comes from. They may or may not rate their products honestly.

That said, you should never mix and match subwoofer systems in the same vehicle.

The Wolfram amp is probably a keeper but I don't think you have subs that'll take that.

And that’s what I was afraid of I haven’t the slightest idea what I’m doing and I jumped the gun on these purchases damn it so what would u recommend as far as system goes keep the wolfram dump everything else

Honestly a good budget sub would be audio pipe bdc4 I think they call it but I know it's the 4

NEP also has some nice affordable subs.

Those are the ones I have been ogling. I like the tall surround. It makes the cone look deep.

Welcome to the forum.

What kind of music are you listening to?

How loud do you want to get?

How much space for your sub?

Budget?

A pair of those would do nicely on the Wolfram amp with the proper electrical for the demand. Ive been watching the Site on those subs and thinking about snagging a 10 or 12 up to try. look well built for sure. Not sure what your electrical conditions are in the vehicle.. But we all know and as Ive stated for a very long time.. It takes power to make power.

What precisely are you trying to accomplish here? How much space are you willing to sacrifice in your vehicle and how much money can you spend? Do you have tools/ability to build your own box?

If you are not ready to dump some money into electrical system upgrades you may not even be able to support the Wolfram amp safely.

Probably no reason you couldn't keep whatever you don't use right away, you'd have a backup in case something breaks or you get a second vehicle. You'd just need to be careful not to over-power sub with so much power on tap to such small woofers.
