I'm starting from scratch, new everything. This system going into a 2000 Blazer. I have very little money for this build, but i still want to get a set up performs decently. I know it's a far cry from what some of you fellas have. Lol
So far I have managed to stay within a very tight budget. At this point i have bought a 300 amp Delco altenator ($170), NVX 0 gauge big 3 ($50) and amp wiring kit ($90), a JVC hu ($120), a long with a Soundstream Picasso 6000.1 ($200). This brings me to crucial point in my purchasing. I have $400 for subs. I was originally looking at two American Bass XFLs ($170 a piece), but the guy doing my enclosure build recommended three Soundqubed HDS3.112 subs instead ($125 per sub). I trust his opinion but I've have never heard this brand, or product in person. The three sub build would give me more cone area, and would fit nicely in my cargo area, but i was wondering if anyone has input on such a cost effective subwoofer? So basicly, does the HDS3s perform decently? My goal is nice lows and a lot of bass that is somewhat clear. The box we're planning is a double baffle ported enclosure. Subs firing up, port back, it will be a tuned build. The jury's still out on components. Do you guys think that's enough electrical to support 3000 rms?
All in all I want to be able to pull up at work and go head to head with my co-workers' systems. They all paid way too much at the local car audio shop for your standard 2 12s and a 1000 watt amp. They've been giving me a hard time about my build. Laughing and cracking jokes about how i'm buying junk, and man do they talk trash. Lol. I actually have several small wager bets with them about who's system will sound better yada yada. Anyway, i've been reading this forum for a while and figured you guys might be able to shed some light on this product, and build. Any thoughts, opinions, or ideas would greatly appreciated.
