Just got a new ride and want to build something different/unique.
Asking for you guys opinions as I have been out of the high end car audio game for 15 years. Every rig I own has a sub, but its all cheap consumer stuff.
Finally found and bought a car I've been looking for for over a year, 08 STS-V. Want something as cool and generally unheard of as the car, and match the performance!!
Here are my requirements/budget.
Trunk build.
1K $, (not including box, prefer to spend the least amount possible but want this to be fairly bad ***)
Have up to 8.3 cubes (gross) to work with (43w x 21d x16h).
Willing to run 1/O wire and do the big three.
150A Alternator, do not want to do an alternator on this car at this time, when it goes out, maybe.
Need to run from the stock Bose nav/head unit, I think there is a pre level signal to the current factory sub amp, will need some kind of signal processing/converter. Head unit isn't an option and I know that hurts me.
Weight is a factor, this is a very fast car, so a second battery would be a last resort.
So?? 4 bad boy eights? a single monster 15? 3 killer tens? Open to two 12"s but that seems to be the norm.
I listen to rock and fast punk mostly, but I want this system to be the one that I can put the rap and EDM on and shake windows. Also would prefer some lesser known brands, been reading on here for a couple weeks and i haven't heard of most of what you guys are using.
So, what says the collective mind? Amp, Subs, and Signal??
