looking to do a summer upgrade, was gonna try to make all choices myself but find im an impulse buyer and dont know enough about what im doing to do this alone.
Car is Buick LeSabre limited 1997
i want a daily pounder. with highs that keep up well. not reallly looking to compete, just for daily pleasure but do want it loud. ive been reading up on car audio info for the past year, but have no actual experience beyond amp installs/ sub box building, and im far from knowing all the brands and head to head comparison et cetera. will all be purchased over next 3 months. roughly 1800-2k is budget from here. thanks everyone.
what i have:
deadener: 20 sq ft of second skin pro on trunk lid/ side of trunk more to come later.
Head Unit: clarion 9275l
Comp Amp: orion hcca 225 may sell and get something better suited
Sub Amp: Mean Machine 4000D
What i want:
alt: 250 mechman? was quoted 399 shipped. DC? recommend me something.
batteries:the big CD tecnologys floating around here.
Comps: something to keep up with the subs i get. clear sound and loud, not fully sq though. possibly 2 sets?
Subs: something to match up with amp, 4k rms 2 ohm final load open to anything 4 12s 6 12s 4 15s 2 18s... wanted to keep in trunk, but dont need back seat, wall is possible can find help locally. talked to ssacket might get 2 15s built from him.
