Hey guys, just trying to get some input on what I should purchase for a new audio system... Currently I only have Hertz ESK 165.5 in my front door panels and Hertz EV 165.5 in the rear doors...
I haven't built a system in a long time and my last system was 2 Kicker L7 12's powered by a JBL 1201.1 amp that was a class D amp 1114 rms @ 2 ohms... This things rattled my lancer and I was super happy with how they sounded, but I keep reading more and more that there is way better out there than kicker for the same price. I'm willing to try brands i've never heard of but I need more than just one person convincing me...
So I know some of the big questions are so ill tell you what I got to work with.
I was looking at a packaged deal that was 2 Kicker L7 12 inch subs plus Kicker Dx 1500.1 amp, enclosure, wiring kit, remote gain for 999.99
https://www.amazon.com/Kicker-11DS12L72-Solobaric-Dual-1500/dp/B01M9J9HSA/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&qid=1493191716&sr=8-7&keywords=kicker+l7
So now im here to ask you guys to build me a package similar for around the same price if possible...
My car is a 2014 Nissan Versa (NOT THE NOTE)
I wil upgrade the battery (keep seeing brand like XS or Kinetik) I had optima yellowtop in old car
I am sure in the future I will upgrade the alternator to either 220amp or 250amp
so I am looking to spend around 1000 because that package was around 1000 on amazon with free shipping... I can stretch the budget to around 1500 tops. But it would have to be literally everything, amp kit, 2 12 inch subs, amplifier, and enclosure...
Is the packaged deal really that good of a deal in the above link?? I heard some people say to stay away from DX amps, then I see other people say they live by kicker amps... I am pretty sure I want two 12's since I used to have 2 12inch L7's, and ive owned other sets of 12s like 15 years ago I had audiobahn 12's, and mtx 12's, kicker comp 12's. I just like the sound of 12's...
Please if you guys could please help me out, remember my budget is around 1000, but I can stretch if its a must...
I think I covered everything but I will copy/paste just to make sure
Number of subs preferred: 2
Size preferred (if configuration allows): 12 inch
Budget:1000-1500
Power to be used (which amp(s), include which resistance): included in budget
Space available (take measurements, do not guess): nissan 2014
Goals: compete with kicker l7's for cheaper or same price
Listening habits: hip hop/rap
Preferred brands/subs/whatever: I still love kicker l7's but willing to spend a grand on something ive never heard of.
