Ok first off, for your BMW, the Alpine CDA-7893 will be great! I have one myself in my Benz... The JL Audio 500/1 is good, but I don't know about the subwoofers... I would move more towards a different brand when it comes to subs.... Second, in your truck the Alpine unit is fine... Just do not think of touching those Bazooka EL1204s, their piece of junk! They only allow 250w RMS, and a waste of money. I got them one day with a buy one get one free offer, I wonder why they were on sale. I ended up taking them back the next day. Hope this helps...

Thanx for the reply.....

What kind of subs would you recommend otherwise if my amp is an Alpine

2 channel MFVT-707......... this is for the Pathfinder..........

How about the BMW............ JL 500/1 amp with what subs???

Thank you for all your suggestions..... I would take it all into consideration.....

i would go with some jl 12w3's in the BMW.....for some comp. in the front some MB Quart Q series but that is just IMO. Also you can check out some focals.

what kinda money you looking to spend?

also, do you want SQ or SPL?

 

[IC5850]

Actually, I want to go SPL, but the problem with the BMW is that the bass can't get out of the trunk because of some odd reason........

The budget is basically limilless.......... but within reason...

P.S.: Thanx for the reply guys............

For the BMW, as long as you don't mind some permanent alterations to your car, you could cut holes for ports in your back deck, I have done that b4 and had pretty good results, or you could attach your sub boxes right into the back deck and have your subs facing straight up in the cabin, I have also seen good results from that

for subs, check out diamond tdx subs that will be coming out soon //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

my friend has two (he's a JL nut) and he absolutly loves them.

only problem is they're expensive!
