i saw those dual subs with light up box at bestbuy one black friday like 6 years ago for $100 w/ amp. i didnt know why anyone would ever want big speakers in their car, but ive always liked loud so i bought it. installed it myself too. it was the first system id ever seen or heard.

One of the neatest experiences for me when I was about 14, before I knew about the physics of audio, was to hear this little Civic hatchback with four 8" Orion subs being powered by a single HCCA. It was incredibly loud and deep, mind boggling for me at the time. I was already into car audio by then but that was the first vehicle that made my jaw drop. It was a demo built by these two Chinese brothers (no, not black guys with a little Asian in them) who were the only Orion dealers in the area. They were extremely intelligent and would talk to you forever no matter how many questions you had for them. Hard to believe that was twenty years ago.

first system that got me into subwoofers was my friends 15" atomic apx running off of a power akoustic 5500, now knowing those amps r crap im trying to get the apx off the kid, hes an idiot with his box. The box is about 3ft but not ported still hits good but it can be much better

Old buddy of mine had four old school cerwin vega stroker 15's powered by some hifonics amps, and a killer coustic 560 amp which I bought from him. Man you could hear this thing from blocks away...

growing up around high end home audio systems is what got me into car audio. step dad had a bmw with the whatever the upgraded sound package consists of. i remember thinking there was no way any stereo could sound as clean as that lol. real dad had 4 tens behind the seat of his pickup. guess i kinda landed somewhere in the middle. still love clean sound, but i'm upgrading the hell out of my sub stage so when i feel the need to not be able to breathe/see correctly i can indulge.

My buddy went through three different sub set ups, all off a Brutus BXi2006D.

A pair of 12" L7's, a pair of 12" Hifonics Brutus subs, and a pair of 12" Type R's.

He had a box build in the back of his single cab Sonoma... built a box... stuck aero ports in it...

Anyway it was extremely loud, so I bought the R's and the Brutus and his h/u, put it in my girlfriend's Ion, and was extremely pleased with it.

Brother's single cab Ram with 3 JLw310's sealed off an Alpine MRV-1507. And I have always had a boner for making music sound as good as I could, no matter what little I had to work with.

my friends RSX....

didnt make me get into it, but that sound is what i've been striving for ever since until this day..

2x bd1000.1's and 4x RF 10" HX2's sealed.. cleanest system i've ever heard... anything you played pounded, from long bass notes on rap songs to the quick drum on heavy metal... made your hair stand up inside, and outside the car.. .would have killed on bassrace... that car could be @half volume, and it would be loud inside the neighbors house across the street
