[QUOTE="Quartersawn, post: 8671433, member: 676770"] Hi all! First time poster, probably bringing something a little different to the table. I have a background in music and live sound but don't deal with car audio at all. My goal is simple. To learn enough about car audio to build the loudest, most monsterous sound system for the lowest dollar amount to be used in a demolition derby car in Novemeber. These are the factors in order of importance. LOUD (enough that a small race track can hear and make out well chosen songs) CHEAP (this is gonna be a derby car. Chances are lieces of the system will break) That's it. My idea is to find a decent amplifier, and use my totally tubular garage sale and craigslist skills to piece together a sound system capable of blowing the doors off my opponents before we even make contact. I am thinking bass amp subs (cheaper than dirt if I find an old cab in a garage sale). Can I power this kind of thing off a standard car battery? If not, how much extra juice do I need? In general? I only have a basic concept of car audio. Electricity, power, ???, profit! Help me on my journey! I will continue to browse the forums for info in the mean time!!! [/QUOTE]
