[QUOTE="SkeetMc, post: 8214423, member: 659288"] Right now Im in the process of putting something simple but also something that has some kick to it as well. To start off....Im an old school installer....did it back in the late '80's to mid '90's...had '83 S10 Blazer lowered with ground effects.....Alpine/Rockford Fosgate setup...from 8 15 " woofers...2 Power 650's...6 6 1/2 ...8 1" softdomes ...couple of 5.25 & I think a couple of 3.5 or 4"....did a lot of competitions & stuff.. Now forward about 20 years...since then Ive been blessed with a family & we have spent most of that time racing...hence my avatar pic....my daughter at the Indoor Kart Nationals ...worlds largest indoor karting race where she started 12th & raced her way to a4th place podium finish...not to mention...only girl in her class. Anways...we have taken this past year off & Im wanting to do this before we start back ...if we do even get back to racing...but I wont my 2 kids to get ataste of what I did back in the day. Heres my question...since its not about busting out winshields or hearing me from a mile away....Im really just looking for something that sounds good but also has some boom to it as well. With me being a RF Punch guy from back when....now there is the Prime series out for the ones not wanting to blow out the wallet. What Im looking at running is our current Alpine 9827 hu...my old school ere-g180 11 band....(only thing I have left from the day & I love it)....2 12's....front & rear door 6.5 or maybe the 6.75...thought going compnant with 1" twitters but really dont feel like doing any cuttin in case we sell the vehicle I can toss the factory back in......Im pretty much gonna fill in all the factory speakers in a '98 Chevy S10 blazer....also looking at a 5 channel amp & Im going to do the big3 as well. So...with that being said....do you guys or females...feel that the Prime series would be what Im looking for or would I be disappointed & later wish I would have went with the Punch series? Keep in mind Im NOT looking to have what I once did....just something that sounds good without paying an arm & a leg for BUT not end up being disappointed. I realize that this RF's lower budgeted brand but what do you think of it? For the 12's Im gonna build a box using fiberglass just to help make look more like the blazer than just a box in the back ...plus Ive been told by the wife that she doesnt want to give up all the cargo area...so thats why I have chosen the 12's. Thanks in advance on your help. [/QUOTE]
