[QUOTE="brafferty, post: 8836171, member: 663720"] Sorry if this post is lengthy, but I've been out of "the game" since high school, so I may be a bit behind in terms of technology. Back when I build my first and only system, (Full build on profile), it was basically a pair of components upfront at 100 rms and 2 sundown sa 12s ported ona JBL 1400.1 This thing was great and I remember always wanting more SPL, however, now that I am older and work in audio engineering and producing, I kinda have to save my hearing. But im ready to run another build. So basically I'm hoping you guys can chime in with some key factors I address... My current car is a 2010 Subaru Forester, I assume ill need to toss a bigger alt. into it which is no biggy. Really what it comes down to is what speakers/companies are producing killer speakers for around 200-300 a pair? Preferable Component. also a nice amp to feed them. no budget on the amp, would honestly get a b2 again if people recommended it. With the subs is where i feel most of this thread will focus on. What kind of sub setup can i run? Id love to save as much trunk space as possible, but im currently debating if i should try and run some 8's or 10s , and if so , sealed or ported. I feel like i should focus most on the Sound quality style build for the hearing aspect, but i do want to feel a little rumble in the tummy when the bass hits. The music i listen to mainly is Dubstep and metal, so i would tune to 33-40 hz id assume? I feel like it would be hard to get that rumble while also saving trunk space, so if needed i would invest in a "fancy" box design and have someone build it. Would prefer to spend no more than 300 per sub. Amp to also feed them with no budget. And a head unit with the correct pre-outs and potentially navigation features (I've never delved into this with a car). I apologize in advance for the length and if i missed anything important here, i just know the longer the thread the fewer people read. Glad to be back, lets's get this started! [/QUOTE]
