Hello all,
I'm a rookie at this car audio stuff, but here we go. At the moment, I have a 2005 4Runner with 2 Rockford Fosgate 12" P2's Pushing 200W RMS each with an MTX Audio amp pushing 420W. Speakers are stock, and my head unit is an Alpine CDA 9830.
I want to upgrade them to either 1 or 2 JL Audio 12" W6v2's. If it helps, I listen to Hip-Hop, Rap and Electro/House music in the car. I play it loud when I'm on my own, and not so loud when I have others in my truck. I'm not looking to show off or anything, I just want something for me to enjoy. Is 1 enough? Is 2 overkill?
If I end up getting one sub, I would want a JL 500/1 or if I got 2, a JL 1000/1, but the prices are ridiculous. Any suggestions? Are those subs even good fits?
Is it better to buy the subs used, like craigslist, or brand new in-store?
I recently changed my car battery to an Optima Yellow Top (D35) after 6 years, if that helps.
