First car...first Caraudio setup

[KingSham 10+ year member]

First let me start by saying...im only 16 and this will be going in my first car! //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

I was super confused on what sub setup to go with...so i will be going with a single 12 ported tuned to 30hz...which is pretty low in my opinion. The two subs i have in mind are the SSA Icon and the FI Q. The Q box would be 2.5 cu ft. net, the ICON box would be 2.25 cu ft. net. I feel as though these subs will give me excelent SQ with an ability to jus flat out wang from time to time.

My car is a 1977 Buick Regal. As of right now the front doors have severe leakage problems...especially the front passenger door. Because of this problem...i was thinking about running a rear fill. Probably a 6.5 component set...maybe a GOOD set of coaxials because of a lower budget. I probably could fabricate some custom kick pannels for the fronts and mount the tweeter in the dash or maybe right behind the front seat in the upper quarter, where the side interior lights are, or something like that. I have some sets on mind like these...

I also plan to get a good dampener...like some RAAMAT

I was thinking of maybe running the componets/coaxials off of the head units power...but probably an amp

a 2 channel like these

Screw rear fill. Make some kick panels, and get a GOOD set of Comps. CDT's are going the right direction. Don't go with Clif designs. Out of the 2 Channel amps, I would go with the Pioneer. If you want something good, and not just something that's decent. Buy one thing at a time.

If you do get some components up front, like ^ he said, rsd comps. are really nice for the price.
