[QUOTE="jdubu, post: 8607570, member: 656408"] I really don't care for highs at all. I'm not that concerned about the mids either. I live for the bass, and the bass alone. My 2000 toyota tundra had some Alpine Type S 6.5 & 6X9 Coax speakers in it. Not sure if they were stock or not. Either way, they were awesome and were more than enough to make me happy. I ended up using only the 6.5" pair in my next ride and was satisfied with just those and my SA X12's. I don't think one 15" 600W sub is going to move enough air to do it for me. I am thinking maybe this setup might be better: 2 * Sundown Audio LCS-12 D4 12" Dual 4-Ohm 300 Watts RMS Subwoofer ($170 new, probably can find some B-stock much cheaper.) Skar RP-800.1D 800W RMS Monoblock Amplifier ($140) JVC KD-X340BTS ($80) 2 * Alpine SPS-610 6.5-Inch 2-Way Type-S Series Coaxial Car Speakers ($60 for the pair.) $60 for custom box $80 for amp kit, big 3 (4 gauge) kit, harness, single din kit, battery terminals $104 for AutoCraft Gold AGM Battery (350CCA) Looking at about $700 for everything... But may not even need the AGM battery only pushing 600W. I found an interesting method for determining the max your car can likely handle: 80 amp alt * 0.4 = 32 amps. 32 amps is what is safe to draw with amp. 800 watts / 13.8 volts = 57.97 57.97 / 3 (since music is dynamic as everyone loves to say.) = 19.3 amps *average* draw. 38 amps is double the average, so yes, I should be more than safe like everyone is saying with an 800W amp. And hopefully I won't notice any voltage drop. Hopefully I won't need the AGM. That being said, I do always play my music loud-as-possible (when it's possible without bothering everyone.) Hearing be damned! [/QUOTE]
