Wassup guys. So I'm still new to car audio and have a few questions that i need clarification on. My plan right now for my system in progress is to add a pair of woofers and an amp to the stock speakers i currently have in my car. I just recently purchased a receiver for my 2007 Nissan Sentra, its more on the basic side but does what i need it to do. I'm looking for some great subs with good sound.
0. What do you guys think of JL or Alpine?
1. How many channels do i shoot for in this setup if I plan to add aftermarket speakers (2xFront + 2xback) in the near future?
2. I'm a little confused about the ohm ratings on the subs and amp, which is preferred?
3. How much power drain from the audio system will my car take before i need to have a second battery?
4. I listen to a fair amount of metal and would like for the subs to keep up with the double bass kicks, would this necessitate 10" subs over 12"? Also......
5. Would that mean a sealed box would be better?
6. I'm totally down to make my own box. I have the skills and access to a shop to do it. Where can I get some instructions and/or some prints to some designs?
7. If you had a budget of $850 to buy a couple subs and an amp + installation supplies, what would you get?
8. What is the best and most legit website to buy car audio stuff from with great pricing?
Thanks guys and appreciate all replies!
