Get off my lawn.
Hi all, thought Id introduce myself and list a little background, and where I am at now.
I am 33 years old, and have dabbled in car audio (pissing my dad off) sine I was 15. Owned tons of the classic Rockford stuff (you know, the Punch 75 lines that were in a "75" watt class but put out a stupid amount of power!?! Had all the crazy basshead setups back in the day, including way back when you could not have that much bass because your in dash CD player would skip LOL. Fast Forward to today... I now have a little toy I am working on, and want to put a SQ system in it with some decent punch, not much boom, but needs to be loud to drown out the trucks motor. Install will be done by myself so no worries there. Heres whats in my head so far:
Head Unit Alpine 9885 (purchased)
Amp Kicker zx550.3 (purchased)
Dash (If I utilize) Rockford Power 4" Coax hooked to head unit
Components Either PG RSD65CS or Infinity 6020CS ran off the 2 regular amp channels (not purchased yet)
Subs up in the air on this, but I am looking at Kicker CVR 8's or 8L5's (not purchased yet, but they will be 2ohm DVC and wired to show the amp a 2ohm load
What do y'all think about the plan?? Really looking for recommendations of sub choice. Room IS an issue, it is a std cab 89 s10 with bucket seats. Dont want to get boomy either, just good, tight bass for all the rock (sometimes country) music I listen to. The stats on the amp are:
RMS Power: 2 x 70 Watt +1 x 210 Watt @ 4 Ohm
RMS Power : 2 x 85 Watt +1 x 420 Watt @ 2 Ohm
Number Of Channels: 3
Mosfet Powered
Tri-Way capable
S/N Ratio: >95 dB
18 DB BASS BOOST
Stereo or mono (bridged)
12 dB per octave high-pass/low-pass crossover
Bass boost (0-18 dB)
THD: .085
13.8 Volts
Thoughts?
BTW, heres the truck and its interior:
