View attachment 26550028So I just moved into my apartment which is a 2 bed 850 ft^2. I've attached a pic. That's the space I have to use including room for 2 small towers on each side of the couch.
THE PLAN:
I've installed many car systems along with building them. So I was planning on building the boxes out of MDF and cut a nice piece of oak and stain it and put it over the front side of the MDF for aesthetics.
-I play a lot of games / movies and host parties and listen to music and I want a kick *** loud gut wrenching bass and clear mids and highs. And I have some extra car audio pieces that I've accumulated and that I want to possibly use in this build such as using a computer power supply as the converter to power the car amps (but the question of how much is too much for the battery is a question I cant answer).
THE EQUIPMENT ON HAND:
I have 2 4" tang band mid ranges
Tang Band W4-1720 4" Underhung Midbass Driver
2 4" Dayton audio mid ranges
Dayton Audio ND105-4 4" Aluminum Cone Midbass Driver 4 Ohm
1 Rockford Fosgate PRIME-R600-5 5 channel amp with 50x4 + 200x1@ 4 ohms and 75x4 + 300x1@2 ohms
PRIME Amplifiers - R600-5 - Rockford Fosgate®
and another viper 5 channel amp with the same specs possibly a tad better
1 Diamond audio 400.1 mono amplifier 400 rms @ 2ohms and 200rms @ 4ohms
Diamond Audio D1400.1 400W Class AB Monoblock D1 Car Audio Amplifier
2 Fusion 2 way 6x9 140rms a piece
Fusion Powerplant PP FR6920 6x9 inch 280W 2 Way Speakers | eBay
2 Kenwood 6x9 125 rms a piece
KENWOOD KFC-6995PS 6"x9" PRO 5WAY TWEETERS 1300W LOUD STEREO COAXIAL SPEAKERS
I have a Rockford Fosgate T1000-1bd 1000 rms@ 1 and 2 ohm and 700rms@4ohm that has something minor messed up with it that I would have to send in to get fixed or go to shop
Rockford Fosgate® T1000 1BDCP Constant Power Mono Car Amplifier Amp T1000 1BD CP 7806687330279 | eBay
and 1 working and 2 not working Alpine type R 1000rms 10" sub D4
Alpine Electronics of America, Inc.
THE BUDGET:
-I don't want to spend over 500 on amps / speakers / subs for the project. (building materials are in hand already)
THE QUESTIONS:
-What can I use that's available that will keep me from spending money on things I don't need and what do I need to do it safely?
-What equipment do I need to buy and what suggestions would you have for the system in general EX. build, design, equipment choice, etc.
-I want either a 15" sub that can move air effortlessly or 2 10"s, so which subs would work with my setup?
Thank you for taking the time to read and I will be including pictures as I build
