My final build

[Sebaslegrand 10+ year member]

So here it is, after months of lingering on these forums. It isn't the best build at all, I know, some stuff from it was bought before I even started reading these forums, and I don't want to sell it and go through this hassle for now. I'll use what I've got. This is my build, please comment on it, tips/tricks/ideas, anything.

(203.91$) -- Front Stage : IMAGE DYNAMICS CTX65CS (116.10$) -- Rear Stage : Polk Audio MM651

(147.61$) -- Speaker Amp : Soundstream Tarantula TX4.440

(330.00$) -- Sub Stage : 2x Skar Audio VVX 10 DV4

Box : *To be determined and built here in Quebec, Canada*

(167.91$) -- Wiring : 1/0 Gauge Kolossus Fleks

(259.33$) -- Sub Amp : Soundstream Rubicon 1.1600D

Battery : *To be determined, looking at Shuriken or Deka 105ah*

Total : 1224.86$ (+ box and battery...)

Good price? Bad price? Good things, bad things? Ideas?

Might I suggest with the price of the Soundstream amp for your sub, maybe going with the SK1500.1? Its a great amp, I've never personally run Soundstream before but some people think they're cheaply made?

Either way great list, I'll tune in once you start!

dump the skars and get the new gcons

You know, maybe I should've gotten the amp with that too now that you mention it... lol. I'll see, everything is already bought though, so maybe if I can find someone to sell it to or something, but nevertheless, people told me they were good (The RUB1.1600D's). I'll see what happens !

What are GCon's?

And why dump the Skars ? They seem like my perfect fit.

gcons have a bigger better voice coil...are made here....and dont have crappy production yields.....

SSA subs are some of the best built

I will keep this in mind for future reference. Thanks!

 

[Imtjnotu 5,000+ posts]

they are also the same price as the skar....and i bet will sound better and take more power

 

[Sebaslegrand 10+ year member]

Looks real sturdy. I'll give em' a try once I get new ones for something, or recommend some to friends!

so your going to stick with skar

He said he already bought some of the items, so I am assuming he bought these already.

Visual hype, that amp is twice the cost haha.
