Well, I bought a car for my sister and along with it came some car audio equipment that I'm not entirely sure what I'm going to do with. For a long while now, I've wanted to put something in my truck, but being a truck that has to function, I'm pretty limited.
Anyway, this is what I got.
5 Skar ZVX 8 Dual 2 ohm subs
Crescendo bc3500 amp
Powermax alternator (Came with stock too so I can swap that back in)
1/0 wiring
2 Farad cap
Custom box that is pretty terrible.
The system wasn't hooked up when I took the car. I tied it in to test it, and sure enough, it all works, and pretty well. Although for a potential 4500 RMS watts, I feel like it should have been doing much more. Back in the day, I had an impala with 2 RFR3112 and 2 bd1000 amps that easily outdid what these were doing. Granted, the box these Skars are in is pretty bad and I'm sure not tuned right. Not sure how they're wired either, so no clue what the amp is putting out.
I didn't know about Skar before getting these. Guess they're basically Sundown tail riders. Whatever. If they perform similar, that isn't necessarily a bad deal. I had always thought about putting a couple SA8s or x8s in my truck somehow.
So where I'm at now is deciding whether I should try and find a way to cram 1-5 of these things in my truck, or sell any combo of them to recoup some money on the vehicle purchase.
What are you guys thinking?
If I should keep, got any covert ideas for a 2006 GMC Crew Cab? I was considering building a custom console with room for some. Or maybe under the back seat if I were to modify things for them to fit. Anyone know how picky these are about space? Perform better sealed/ported?
If I should sell them, how much do you guys think is fair for what I've got? I have zero clue on the used market for these.
