99 blazer fresh build.

[IanRowb]

Hey guys, used to be a member here years ago. Getting ready to start preparing for a new setup in my 99 blazer. Got a few things picked out. Starting with speakers and head unit, with the rest to come in the next few months. Aiming for a nice balance between sounding good and getting loud, and a reasonable budget. Need advice on a good set of front components around $200

Is that a straight axle in the front?

Was actually looking at a set of cdt Cl61.2. They’re 160 watts a set at 2 ohm. Which the amp will do. But will it be a problem running the front channels at 2ohm and the rears at 4 off of that amp?

It is, it’s an old Dana 30 off a Cherokee.

I think you need to be more worried about buying tires and getting that suspension straightened out before you worry about audio bro.

It’s just about done getting the front end redone. Tires will be coming soon enough.

Let me know if you need sub and box help

Looks like you've got a ton of potential here with this vehicle. Is it a 4.3L?

yes, 4.3. What are you charging for designs these days? I got a design from you probably 10 years ago for 2 sundown audio sa12s. Really loved the box, even with my subpar fabrication skills

edit: found the design! I like the look of subs up port back.

Holy cow!!! I probably still have that design saved. Basic ported still starts at $30, it's been that way with me for a while, even though I seem to be getting more and more custom requests.

Polk Audio DB 6502 series components $179.00 @Crutchfield
Polk have always been pretty reliable for me. Infinity Kappa are also really good. These two other than CDT I would buy. I like the HD series of the CDT

It’s on its way already, have had a few us acoustic 2 channel amps in the past and really enjoyed them. But I’ll keep the soundqubed in mind. Also ended up going with some CDT audio components, a more budget friendly set, I bought their more expensive hd set years ago, but trying to go as inexpensive as possible while still sounding good.

As far as subwoofers go, leaning more towards 2 10s, something with some good sound quality that gets loud. I’m likely going with a CAB22 amp, so something within range of that. Budget is between $350-400.

 

[IanRowb]

Looking at amps, need help. CAB22, Taramps bass 3k, or something else comparible for the price. Only going to be pushing 2k rms.
