Audiobahn ?'s

[jtvyper456]

if you've got $1500 bucks to spend...you can get a dang good deal and have them sound xbetter than your friends, sound to me that he got jipped if he spent $1500 on 2 subs, an amp, HU and ipod hookup....could be me though. You can get complete all Aline Subs+box+Amp set for a little under $400, same with an Infinity setup, etc. etc. with $1500, you have quite a few options .

YOur friend got boned.


What are looker for just bass, some nice quality sound with bass. And hwta vehicle is this all going in.


YEah paul ive destroyed a couple subs in my early days with clipping, but this is one of teh few my grandfather helped me with the o-scope with. It sounded good for an audiobahn then the smell of burnt copper came about.

i wanted it to hit hard and be heard from miles away and such but also sound nice and such.... and its either goin into a ford expodition for a while then into a bmw 3 series... 2000-2002

[pimprolla112]

So id say either a tri-12" or dual-15" setup, and a really nice set of comps for the front. Depending on the room depends on the enclosure desing so if you pure spl and have a nice amount of cash, either DD, REaudio, soundsplinter, soundstream, mmats, stereo integrity and incriminator audio.

From what ive heard incriminator and sound splinter make really good SPL subs.

[beatboxn420]

SPL means...

[pimprolla112]

SPL sound pressure level

Nice choice but you can have better for the same price or a little more.

i cant even find how many rms they produce...

[pimprolla112]

Thats because its appliction dependant. They do have power ratings there but that changes depending on enclosure SQL or SPL setup and other factors.

Oh yeah the subs handle power and the amps produce power.

[beatboxn420]

ok my friend has a set of these in his truck, and i dont kno what type of amp he has though... but it hits pretty hard and sounds good from when i was in it... whats ur thought? --> http://www.circuitcity.com/ssm/MTX-D...oductDetail.do

1=bad 10 - good

with
http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_3440.html [kicker 15"]
or
http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_5456.html [soundstream 15"]

also.. need help finding compatible,good amp and anything else required (besides box)

[pimprolla112]

Ok so about 300-350 for a sub and about 350 for an HU.

While that seams like a nice price for a TFT dual equipment sucks.

The kicker would be a better spl sub. Il give you some ideas after i wake up and my hangover goes away.

[beatboxn420]

lol all ur apprevations.. like tft. i have no clue. i am a complete newb at audio lol

beatboxn420, you seem to have a lot of questions and doubt in your choices for audio, and yes this is the place to get help, however, there is A LOT of information that would make life for you a lot easier if you understood why we advise certain things over another, why certain things are not compatible with others, what certain things mean, etc.

It is a lot of reading, but i guarantee if you take some time aside, and are serious about investing your hard-earned cash on something that makes sound, this website will teach you a lot you should know before buying anything. --> www.bcae1.com <--

When shopping for car audio, you're going to come to a point where you'll realize, "holy hell, i'm not gonna be able to afford that...", because you're going to want to buy some nice things, but you should realize that they won't even perform to their full capability unless everything else in your car is up to par. Loosely put, your audio system is only as good as its weakest link. If you buy an incriminator or ascendant sub, you better find an effecient, powerful amp. If you buy CDT speakers, you better invest in plenty of sound-deadening. No matter how nice a head unit you buy, you'd better buy a spereate amp to power your speakers, rather than powering them from your head-unit.
...you can see how this is getting expensive.

again, this is also why the afformentioned website will help, as well as the tutorials here on AF, and we're also always willing to help. just realize there's a lot more to audio than you read here.

ps, i know its been established, Audiobahns suck the big 1
