You da man! I think you'll be happy to hear that I've decided to save up and get a complete system. From my calculations, I'll be looking at roughly $1000 for everything, box, wires, etc all included in that figure for the bigger sub + amp + the mids/highs setup you first recommended. Not bad...

Oh one last thing... I want to make sure I understand this concept as well. Let's say you have an amp with specs like so: RMS Power @ 2 Ohm : 930 Watts x 1 Channel (14.4v) RMS Power @ 4 Ohms : 500 Watts x 1 Channel (14.4v) RMS Power @ 1 Ohms : 1,700 Watts x 1 Channel (14.4v) It's been my...

I appreciate you being straightforward, and I appreciate all you've suggested and helping me learn more. I am used to people being ***-holes for no reason. I'm sorry I got under your skin. I am not here to waste your time, and I am not tossing your advice aside. I am a "real" enthusiast, I've...

Calm down dude, yes I forgot, and the harness + DIN kit is $10... Not like it's a huge savings. Here's the receipt for the X12 + Focal Kit + a whole shitload of other crap I had bought. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1y_g5nOTuhcBjFx8-6zcoiRHtreBFHg8y/view?usp=sharing...

I really don't care for highs at all. I'm not that concerned about the mids either. I live for the bass, and the bass alone. My 2000 toyota tundra had some Alpine Type S 6.5 & 6X9 Coax speakers in it. Not sure if they were stock or not. Either way, they were awesome and were more than...

First of all, thanks for all the responses. I didn't expect so much feedback so soon. I don't have a lot of time before work so I'll have to be brief... I'm aware that music is dynamic. But AGM batteries are not cheap, even crap ones. That's upping the budget by at least $150. Though batteries...

This scar audio package looks tempting... It's a bit over my 500W mark, and I'm worried that the amp might **** too much power, but eh. Skar Audio Complete 15" Ported 600W Bass Package.

Sup everyone I have been without bass for some time... I came upon some hard times and had to sell my much-loved DEH-80PRs, Sundown X12, focal mids/highs, focal amp & JL Amp... However I'm looking to get back into the game finally, but I'm on a much stricter budget than before. I hate...

I should note that I have not hooked anything up yet besides the head unit (DEH-80prs) and when running at normal RPM's it still dips down to 12.5 and up again. Using two Alpine Type-S 6X9's at the moment. About to install two focal poly-glass 5.25" The size of the battery is laughable. I need...

Hello again everyone So I finally managed to grab all the components I need to setup my system. I believe my battery and alternator are stock. Here is what I'm working with: 1 * JL Audio G-MAX G-Series AMP 1200w RMS = 4 Gauge Input Wire 1 * FOCAL SOLID-2 2 Channel Amp 200w RMS = 8 Gauge...

What does everyone think about putting 2 * Rockford Fosgate P1S4-10 Punch P1 SVC 4 Ohm 10-Inch 250 Watts RMS 500 Watts Peak Subwoofers in this box: With that amp... the thought is making me drool.

Thank you all for the advice. I think I'll be going with the Audio Technix amp as I don't want to spend $500 right now on a AMP. By ported enclosure do you mean vented? The current box I have is sealed, but it's perfect size for my trucks back seat. Its a plastic box which I don't really like...

Thanks for the advice. It's really strange that they are getting mostly good reviews on Amazon if they are so crappy. Though I imagine you can't really expect much out of a $60-$70 amp. However I really can't spend an arm & a leg on a rockford AMP as much as I'd like to. Any suggestions...

Hello and Thank You for viewing this post! I recently bought an 89' Ford Ranger XLT with a 350W kicker amp and two ten-inch (standard model) MTX Subs. I installed the system myself but had a pro check over everything to make sure it was ok. I knew I needed a bigger amp to get the most out of...
