Prefab subs and amps

[ArrizX 10+ year member]

Okay, now what is the BEST?

Haha, just messin, I just saw the newbies please read, so I thought I might as well...

Anyways, hey all, just joined. I belong to computerforums.org where I mod, and have over 8000 posts, so thats my background

To the subs...

What does everyone think about prefabed Visonik subs. Because I like the dual 12's that they have out. My friend has that, and I personally think it sounds great, and will suffice great for me. Although, by more seasoned members from another place, they have said Visonik is complete crap.

Now with that being said, Im sure this is going to turn into a Custom sytem vs prefab, and how much better a custom is. You know, like making your own computer, vs getting a dell.

Well, for starters im not an Audio Head. So with that said, sound is sound. I dont need the best, I just want it lound.

This sub will be going into a Civic like car. I have a Mercedes Benz 1992, 190E. And trunk space is close to that of the Civic, to give you perspective. So, what do you think of getting like dual 12s in the trunk. And this is what im thinking of.

How do you think that would sound in a dynomatted trunk? Because I dont want the trunk to vibrate. And this is a bandpass box. Do you think that a ported sub would be better in any way shape or form? Or for the placement in the car, and loudness I want (because I listen to rap) will ported and bandpass sound the same?

Then thinking about all the different kinds of subs, I have the options of all the amps. Now, with the Visoniks that i want, I found this

http://www.crutchfield.com/S-eCL8ESyT2OE/cgi-bin/ProdView.asp?search=visonik&i=700V123XT

Its a combo with the sub and amp. Would that suffice?

Just overall what do you think of Visonik. And what other brands (such as Kicker) would you reccomend?

Thanks for reading this hella huge post. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

Between the 2 I'd probably go with a kicker, maybe an l5, whats your Budget?

 

[ArrizX 10+ year member]

Well, its whatever it has to be. im 15, and make 8 bucks an hour, working part time. (looking for a secod job) so its going to be all summer. And im not going to be shy on this. I want to do it right the first time.

although, for the sub and amp, im prepared for like $400, or so. Maybe $500, and another $500-$600, for the headunit, and inside speakers, and maybe the second amp for the other speakers.

But anyways, for the sub and amp, 4-500$

your wasting your money. for 400 you can get a nice little package with sub and amp and then you need to build your own box and hook it up yourself. you'll save a lot of money and it will not only perform better but just give you a good feeling of doing it yourself.

i would get the a rf p2 15 off of ebay http://cgi.ebay.com/NEW-ROCKFORD-FOSGATE-P215S4-15-500w-CAR-SUB-SUBWOOFER_W0QQitemZ9729475168QQcategoryZ18804QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

or

2 alpine type s

if you get the 15 i would just get hifonics 300 watt class d

or for the 12s i would get

you could even get an amp kit and sub box and still stay under 500. Those will sound 100xs better then those others you wanted. plus crutchfield is a rip off.

I think everyone is missing the point. Im 15, I can build computers. However, with no previous experience I dont think I can build a sub and install it. Computers are one thing, but this is totatlly different, and with the amount of cash ill be spending.. I dont wanna screw it up.

Lol Seen it. Its insane, but I dont see the point of watching that....

 

[tiger777 10+ year member]

well with my suggestions you still should be able to get it installed for under 500. still think you should learn to do it yourself.
