[QUOTE="IronCityGuy, post: 1403742, member: 561401"] Thanks for taking part in my first post. *He broke his cherry* I'll try not to leave this bleak and fill you in totally. I consider myself an above average installer. I'm not too technical and haven't been around alot of systems so I would like advice on what would sound good. I listen to alot of different music so I guess I'm after sound quality. I have Rage in the player now. So please when you recommend products state the full product name. I have no clue what 10" xxx or 5G DD's are. I will probable need someone to design a box for the finished product. All input is appriciated. And don't laugh at my current subs and amp, they are 10 years old and still bump.... a little. The facts: Car: 2000 Intrepid 4 Door Head Unit: Pioneer Premier DEH-P8MP Front Door: Alpine 6 1/2 co-ax Type S Back Deck: Alpine 6X9 3-way co-ax Type s Subs: (2) 12" Oz (from 1995 not sure what kind) Amp: Audio Art 200.2 (from 1994) Battery: Optima Yellow Top Cross over: U.S. Amp (not sure what kind) So first thing was to improve highs and mids. These Alpines are clear enough I think. Cost around $150 for all four. They are running off the head unit. Molex plugs in the doors cut me short of running new wire. Now I have about $1000 to upgrade the lows. I'm set on running the JL Audio 500/1 amp. That will prolly tap me out $450 new from local car audio store(I want the JL warrenty). I figure wood and plexiglass for the box will run $150. So with $400 what can I get for subs? At first glance I thought of two 12's again but I guess my options of one 12, two 12's, one 10, two 10's or three 10's are possible. Here are the options I scouted out. Let me know yours. (2) 12" DVC JL 12W3 V2 D2's 2 ohm to run @ 2 ohm load (2) 12" DVC Apine Type R's 2 ohm to run @ 2 ohm load (3) 10" DVC Apine Type R's 4 ohm to run @ 2.67 ohm load one 10" JL 10w7 3 ohm to run @ 3 ohm (is that correct?, are these DVC?) $500:mad: one 10" JL 10w6 4 ohm to run @ 4 ohm one 10" DVC Diamond Audio D910D2 2 ohm to run @ 2 ohm I know I'm partial to JL and Alpine. Throw other options at me. [/QUOTE]
