Sorry, I typed that earlier. The CXA1800.1 is in my possession now Of course, now yall got me worried about power draw. :)

So, I found a good deal on a CXA1800.1 locally. It's in great shape and the guy is a car audio enthusiast, he even kept the box. I'm gonna pick that up for cheaper than a new CXA1200.1. I'll probably pair it with the dual L7S enclosure, even though it puts the total out of my budget. I'll just...

Ok, and this is a wild question, but... I want to be able to pull the subs out for a conversion between beach cruiser/ daily driver and road tripper that needs cargo space. I'm thinking I'm going to mount my amp behind my sidewall, add a terminal on the wall, use banana plugs on my speaker...

I'm probably going to stay kicker, but I have a question. Two Kicker L7S or One Kicker L7R?

Thanks for the detailed links! Gives me a lot to think about. I do love Polk. I had some Polk 10s and mids/highs in an older build and they sounded fantastic and never gave me issues. Obviously you wouldn't recommend CT if you didn't believe in them, but whats their story? Mid level comparable...

The higher end NVX subs look great, but I'm worried about the power draw. Not only does it put me over budget but I don't wanna murder my alternator. lol

being a numbers nerd, I'm working on a spreadsheet with some options based on feedback here and my own exploration. The PPI subs look like ass so don't mind that tab. Cant find any feedback on them, but figured if the amps were recommended... Totally Nerdy Bronco Priceout Spreadsheet

How is NVX overall? Compared to something like Kicker?

Interesting @ top off. Didn't consider that... ported definitely moves more air, I just don't want the lag I've had in the past with a ported setup. LIstening to house music its like the kick happens after the song has already moved on. What are your thoughts on prefab boxes? obviously it...

2023 4 door wildtrak Keep existing HU (its a 12" screen) Rear door speakers, yes. All mids/highs in the vehicle. I'm fine giving up half the cargo area or more. I added budget to the original post. As for the B&O, I don't mind the quality of the mids and highs. It's the lack of volume. I may...

Hi everyone! I'm meh with car audio. Some experience but don't know a ton. Would love some advice and feedback. Looking to upgrade the system in my Bronco. Right now it has the B&O sound system with one of the worst subs I've ever heard. The mids and highs are weak (Especially with the top...

Thanks. I'm gonna go with a ported 12. I more than doubled my budget for it and gonna go something midrange. I won't lose any trunk space, only the spare. If I end up only adding some low end, I'm okay with that. The woofers in the doors are nowhere near low enough to round out the sound.

I was posting to show the install, not the price of the gear. The space is there, so that's good. And yes that JL is much more powerful than the baseline XTR setup I'm considering. I'm planning on measuring the space in the passenger footwell to see if I can consider a Fosgate P300-12, a...

Meanwhile... this guy installed a sealed JL 13.5" in his trunk and said it sounds phenomenal. There's a factory cover that goes right over top of this and you'd never know it was there. That may end up working better than a false floor with plexi windows :)

Let me propose a different idea. First off, my goal is to have a little more than bottom fill in my sound. I would like to have some solid low end bass. That said... In the passenger footwell, there's a decent piece of styrofoam under the carpet, and behind that is a steel plate and a small...
