98 Camaro Need Suggestions For HU, Subs, Speakers, Amp(s), Box

actually, he doesn't HAVE to go with anything, get the right subwoofer with the right cone, and you can make it any color you want.

Ah...I drive a 98 Camaro also.

Have you looked up anything on enclosures? Are you wanting to fit it in your hatch (well) or do you plan on folding down your back seats? I bought a box from Ebay custom made for Camaro's. http://cgi.ebay.com/AUDIO-ENHANCERS-CAMARO-CUSTOM-CAR-STEREO-12-SUB-BOX-U_W0QQitemZ9745100284QQcategoryZ50565QQssPageNameZWD1VQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

There's the link to it. It's pretty well built and the design is so complex matching every curve and dip in the well area, it would be very hard to build yourself.

As for subs, the box I got is sealed w/ 1.5 cubes per chamber. I went w/ 2 12" Alpine Type R's each getting 600wrms. I only have 1 sub right now, will have the other one at the first of the month. Here is a WIP (work in progress) pic.

Since this pic was taken I have added and installed another amp (same as the one in the pic), Now all I need is the other sub and my system is complete.

Anyway, let me know if you have any questions about anything, I'll be glad to answer.

I think i'd rather have 27 lightning audio 10" 100wrms subwoofers for a total of 2700 w rms, than one JL 13w7 2000w rms sub for the same price... At least you'd have plenty of paperweights!

lol

That is a nice box camaro man. How is the low end with that box. I have a box similar yet not quite as big. Would like something with a little more air space for my 12's

It sounds pretty good. Doesnt get quiet as low as my old ported L5 but it's pretty good for a sealed box.

One last question camaro man. Is there enough area on the top of your box to make a port if you wanted to. From the looks of ur picture it doesnt look like it but id like to be sure. Id' love to port my 12's but my current box not only is too small, there also isnt anywhere to put the ports.

all you'd have to do is redo the baffle, move the subs around, take out the divider, and put a square port in......2 subs in one ported box, is better than 2 subs in 2 ported box's, simple fact, YOU'LL NEVER MATCH EM PERFECTLY

Wouldnt taking out the divider be a bad idea for a box that size?

Any more suggestions? I need a suggestion/website or store to buy an amp, or atleast some namebrands.. I also need speaker suggestions.

EDIT: I really need speaker suggestions. I recently just kinda blew my speakers and now it's unbearable to listen to while driving and I drive a lot. I would like to start off with just the HU and speakers and then I'll get into the subs.

i use to have a camaro, and gathered a bunch of pics of how i was gonna design the construction of my system. heres just a few ideas if you decide to build it yourself.

but imo, for a trunk like a camaros, fiberglass would be your best option because of all the curves and dips. but these are just a few cool ideas i found.

personally it hink you would best be off with an enclosure from http://www.subthump.com...

even though they have pictures claiming some guy hit a 165 with sealed l7 15's the guy is a really good enclosure builder

i would go that route if i wanted a cheap solution prebuilt, but i ahve other plans in the works

no? not if he ports it, ported box's are better off with one chamber, but sealed box's are the ones that need to remain seperate.
