For those that care I thought I would give you a little update on how things have turned out. I went to one of 2 local authorized dealers for AF to listen to their speakers in person before I settled on going with that speaker. The dealer I went to I really liked so I thought what the heck I'll...

Will you all double check my thought process here and make sure I am thinking of this right? I plan on getting (1) Audiofrog GB12 sub for now and possibly adding another later on in the Tahoe. Really trying hard to find an amp that works for this entire timeline that isn't a crazy power hog...

Hey Jeff, Yeah my plan has changed a good amount since the start. I want SQ and I want clarity. I had my last garbage setup for 15yrs and I plan on the main components of this build to follow me for another 15+ years. I want quality components that are going to sound great and give me a good...

you have me thinking hard about that now. I’m strongly considering going with the Taramps smart 3 powering a single GB12. Ported box size is only 1.5 cuft and the dimensions would fit nicely in the TL and I’m sure a box for 2 would fit in the Tahoe.

BContrell, I was kind of ruling Taramps out because when I watched the duno ratings for the MD1800 it was coming up with ~65% efficiency and that sounds like a power hog to me. The Smart 3 shows much better with up to >90% in 2 ohms I think it was. I was debating 10’s vs 12’s and won’t a...

OK guys, been doing more planning and researching and this is what I plan on doing: Replace HU with Pioneer MVH-1400NEX, replace front door speakers with Audiofrog GS62's and power with my Sony Xplod amp for now (80wx2 RMS), use my ported box for this vehicle, subs I am undecided, amp for subs...

Again thank you all for the feedback. I know I am pretty vague for now but this is helping me a lot. Running the risk of buying 6 3/4" speakers for my TL front doors now and then buying a new vehicle later that cant use them is not a concern for me. Ill get all year to enjoy them over the crap I...

Bcotrell, thanks for the suggestions. I didn’t think of going with a cheaper double din but you are right it makes sense to just go that route instead. I was worried about keeping steering wheel functions and Bluetooth calling but I see adapters for that. me not keeping the car well into the...

Yeah I’m looking to spend about $1500 on it all. I’m interested to hear recommendations on brands to look into. Before joining this forum I had never heard of some of these brands like audio frog, SSA or Sundown so this has been really helpful. I’d also like to hear your input on dual 10’s vs...

Thanks for the feedback. Just to be more clear when I say I won’t have the car much longer I mean at the end of the year my wife will take the car and I’ll get something new. So I don’t mind possibly being out a set of door speakers that won’t carry over to the new vehicle. If they do great but...

Hello all, I am a noob to the forum and pretty much car audio in general. I’m trying to learn as much as I can here before I take any action on my car build. To start I have a 2012 Acura TL with all stock components. The car doesn’t have navigation. Im looking to keep my stock HU but replace...
