Helping a freind with a setup: '06 Acura TL

[Intrepid Bass 10+ year member]

A buddy of mine finally decided on what he wants to do but a few people are telling him that its not worth it to put an 18 in a trunk, while others did it and were happy with the results.

What are some of your opinons on this? I made a thread for him so he can read the responses. I personally said to do 2 12" solo x's because he loves loud and sat in a few 155+ comp cars and vans and was in love. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crazy.gif.c13912c32de98515d3142759a824dae7.gif

So, thoughts? the car is an 06 acura TL btw.

Yeah thats why I suggested the 12's and we told him he's gonna need a super beefy electical.

he will need more them 5000 watts to even run it and a realy big box

My buddy has a TL and i doubt he can fit the proper box in the trunk of it and like sandman said, he needs atleast 5k watts to make that thing move. And does you friend realize with butt loads of power comes electrical upgrades and such?

i hope he has a lot of money to play with for this sub

Tell him to do 12"s, maybe 1 15", dunno about trunk room in those cars.

 

[tex512 10+ year member]

the cost of the sub, amp(s) to run it and electrical will come out to somthing that will not be worth it...in my opionion, and I hope he knows it will not sound good for a daily driver. It would seem to make more sence to run a nice pair of 12's that would sound good and also get loud in a car like that.

just tell him to buy one 12 btl and a nice box and give it 2500wrms and he should be happy.

what would be the cubic feet on a box for a 12" btl. Don't mean to thread jack btw.

 

[Intrepid Bass 10+ year member]

Yeah he just sold his 2002 Exploroer. IMO I thik it would be better for the 12's???

Or can he pull this off with the correct electrical system. He's really determined and won't listen lol thats why I HAD to make a thread and show him what you guys say.

 

[keifersracing 10+ year member]

ya just tell him to trade me his 18 for my solox 12

 

[Intrepid Bass 10+ year member]

Nah no thread jack don't worry bud.

AH another delimma were on the Fi website and he's looking at the BTL 12's now lol thanks for the suggestion I underestimated the power those things can take.

Now he's looking into 2 12" bts and looking for amps now suggestions lol I better change the title.

EDIT: he doesn't have the sub yet.

 

[keifersracing 10+ year member]

what dose he want to spend for amp and what kind of power

 

[Intrepid Bass 10+ year member]

About 3k for the subs/amps and to push the subs as much as possible but safely.
