Can anyone give me a real reason my system sucks?

[cotjones 10+ year member]

it bounces between 15.8 and 15.9... i have also checked it with several volt meters several times... it's accurate... when the subs hit hard it drops to 15 sometimes as low as 14.6, i'm hopeing to fix that with the extra battery

sigh, what are the subs tuned to? diff freq ranges?

yes they will be right now i'm waiting on money to actually by the amps but i've allready heard the system with the amps in it... and i know its possible to tune allready elliminateing cancelation completely might be immpossible, but who really cares if its so small you can't hear it? the broad range of loud frequencies more than compensates for the cancellation that won't even be audible, plus amps have polarity changing so phase canceling is out

ok for the idiots who think i'm liein bout runnin 16 volts here it is... honestly are you stupid enough to believe that i'd spend almost 3 grand on subs and not spend 200 bucks on an alternator and 300 on a capacitor? and i'm planing on adding an extra battery to the setup and someone else lied about something i said about door speakers i haven't told a lie about them at all... exept that there is no place for them at all in an 1986 2 door s10 blazer

......... did you seriously spend $300 on a capacitor?.......//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/blackeye.gif.66a1670f5aaf7f406e783a63e3387dc5.gif

i think its kinda funny that you spend 200 on a alternator and 300 on a cap becuse that was a waste of 300 bux cuz its not gonna do anything but sit there and look preaty, you should have put that money twards the alternator, and how many amps is the alternator for 200 bux?

I dont have time to read through this entire thread...so spare me if I miss some specifics. After looking at your post, I've come to one conclusions. ITS GOING TO ****!

1) You're going to have conflicting frequency response irregularities that probably wont compliment each other very well and a roller coaster distortion profile

2) Your substage is going to absolutely overwhelm your front stage...its not going to be music anymore but rather an overly complex sound transducer:uhoh:

Why are you going with multiple 10s and a single 13?

 

[audiobahnuser18 5,000+ posts]

don't do 2 diffrent sized sub's causes distortion just do 4 more 13's will sound good and maybe do a new enclosure.

 

[thadman 10+ year member]

laymens terms

You have a poorly engineered substage and a horrendously inadequate front stage

Wtf.

 

[sladderson00 10+ year member]

this kid is retarted 2 diff size subs

and what that other guy said that cap is just gonna look pretty

200bucks probably got u a 160 amp alt

why spend all that money on JL?

what r u lookin for ?? SQ or SPL
