Need to decide on 300$ or so worth of stuff fairly quick

[Do_ 10+ year member]

Ok Christmas is coming soon and I don't know what on Earth to ask for. Everyone is complaining they need things to give me and will not give me money and so I said that I could find somethings online and just buy them for them to give me. Anyhow I need to figure out what things to get lol. I currently have a 12" Lightning Audio Bolt... Very unimpressive. Anyhow I'd like some more. I have a fairly weak alternator though :/. Atleast till I sell this Corolla. I'm planning on getting an Astrovan with a CD (Financial) I need to get rid of before I apply for College Financial Aid. Does anyone have anything good for sale? I would love to spend 400$ and get like a 15" SX or something truely mighty but I couldn't afford an amp for that and definately couldn't output the power for that. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif I woulda liked to have picked up one of those Kicker Comp VR 15's from the Sound Domain goof but no one got enough extras. Anyhow I just... I need some ideas for things to get. I don't want to randomly blow the money, I would like to get somethings nice.

I just spent 334 dollars on two RE SE 15's shipped from the RE group buy

To be truthful though, if you're attempting to avoid RE for some reason and want to stay name brand, pick up some Kicker Comp VR 15's, amazing subs for their price

wha amp do u have now, ar eu lookin to buy an amp also? SO JUSS 400 total?

What do you have powering them right now though? I don't have much in the way of amps. I have a Jensen 4 x 100w @ 4 ohm 4 Channel amp and a Lanzar Opti 50w x 2 @ 4 ohm amp. The Jensen is bridgeable to 250w x 2 @ 4 ohms. Probably between 300 and 400. I might need another amp if those above aren't sufficient, which I'm sure they aren't ;p

i would sell those amps

How much could I sell them for though? They do work solidly. You get an occasional pop on the Lanzar while you turn the gain knob but once it is in place and just playing theres no noise.

fok soundomain //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif...meh oh well //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif. Anyhow you can get a 15 sx right now for like $220 shipped brand new dude. If you are getting an astro van, why not pick up an 18" sx for under $300. It'll be worth the wait to buy an amp. If you wanna get loud I bet that would be a great fit. Or you could buy a 15" se and an amp.... etc.

18" SX in an Astrovan //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/yumyum.gif.0556df42231b304b9c995aefd13928a8.gif

That'd be the best plan of action but also very expensive to the point where I probably couldn't finish it. Also does anyone know a good ballpark estimate of the alternator on a recent Astrovan? Probably 98 and up. I'll have to do some figuring. Man a SX would just beat all... My friend with his Alpine S's would be... saying he's never heard of RE like everyone else... but regardless! I'd love that setup.

yeah i hate when ppl ask what i have, and i say resonant enginering and soundsplinter, and they are like wtf

 

[Fosgate Forever 10+ year member]

well if your goin a less expensive sound route my P3 has never let me down you can get one fo those relativly cheap

What kind of demand would the 18" or 15" RE SX put on my electrical system? Also what would some good amps be to drive it? I have a rediculously weak electrical system currently until I sell this Corolla for the Astrovan. Also what kind of box would work well? I like the sound to be real deep and almost subsonic. I like it when the bass shakes your ribcage.

i run a 18" SX pushed off a RE 12.1 in my suburban. Until i upgrade my amp, im running a 65 amp. It does just fine, stays stready at 3.5 - 13.9 volts. . . unless the A/C is on, then it drops to 13.3 down to 12.9 at times

 

[Do_ 10+ year member]

lol I don't think my alternator even puts out 65 amps total. Also how much did you get that RE 12.1 from? How do you like the sound of the SX?
