Build my setup!

[Illest]

Hey Everyone,

First thing's first: I am a total noob when it comes to car audio and audio in general. I've tried to do some reading and research but theres just too many factors involved for me to fully wrap my head around it (not knowing some one in person who knows about this stuff doesnt help either)

In any event, I have a leased 2011 G37x sedan. The Bose system is total garbage and i am sick of it.

So, I want to add a sub for my car so my house/electronic/dance/dubstep music will sound better.

I want my build to be based around this box:

Google> sound boxology > 1st link > G37 sedan

Specs on the box:

 

•1.27 cu. ft. sealed "Acoustic Suspensions" avg. 3 percent variance.

• .32 avg. thickness fiberglass and .75+ in key structural areas

•22lbs. avg. raw enclosure weight

•11.0" standard mounting ring id. fits most subwoofers (inquire if larger is needed for your application)

•Smart sculpture design

•Optional Metal mesh grill with 63% open area and machined mdf med. graphite ring

•Lifetime warranty on enclosure construction defects (abuse, wear and tear not included)

•CSM Baffle system for the ultimate in structural strength for your subwoofer mount

•Quality controlled and pressure tested

After that is spent my budget is around 800$....what route should I go? I heard that Hertz Show subs are the best...again I dont want to have sick amount of bass and make the ground shake...I just want something that will make my music sound better and give it a little bit more of a cleaner sound....

Suggestions? Let me know.

Thanks

Do you speakers lack in bass or in sound in general? If they just svck all around, then adding a sub isn't going to make everything sound better. Uprgading those bose speakers to something else will.

Unfortunately, his vehicle is leased and he needs to be careful with what he does to it. Anything that the stealership deems as a permanent modification will be charged back to the OP when he goes to turn it in. I know someone who owns a BMW/Mercedes dealership, where most of their customers lease, and they burn their customers for every door ding and chip in the paint. Guess that explains why most Bimmers in town take up three parking spots everywhere they park.

no other speakers will fit in my car...i can only add a sub and amp...unless i do excessive modding but its a lease so i cant do it.

What about Hertz 10 inch show sub with an Alpine 600watt mono amp?
