If you have subs in your car, click here.

Ok, I was thinking today about when I had my Prelude. I had 4 12" JL Audio W6s each getting 1000 watts from a MTX 2150x amp. Anyways, I was remembering back, and I could set off other people's car alarms. Have any of you done this? Or can any of you do this?

I've done it a few times. It makes me feel good, like I got something good in my trunk. Even though what I have isnt really strong. I have two MTX 6000 series 12's and a 600 watt 4 channel Lightning Audio amp pushing them. 4 guage wire, Pioneer mids and highs, Pioneer head unit. I want an Eclipse player. I'm actually planning on making a new box tomorrow that will have my subs and amp flush mounted into the floor of the trunk. Hopefully, I'll be able to do it, and it'll sound/look nice. Oh, by the way, I've only set off Integra alarms with my shit for some reason. Maybe five or six different Integras. Never any other type of car. Weird.

I didnt think anyone really rocked MTX. My friends all have JL's or Rockford. I got a MTX amp from out of a car while I was working at a dealership, I think its a 4160 or something like that, its an older model though, not a Thunder. I also got 2 12" MTX Thunder 4000s, which arent the best but they hit pretty hard. :)

You have a Spec-V buddy? wow. Nice. How did you manage that? Do you like it?

It totally ROCKS!! Quick and handles like a dream although last night I went spinning all over the road because I was a little TOO confident in the handling ability, but its all good. I went Saturday to the dealership because my wife wanted to see the new Altima... We walk in and WOW... right there on the floor was a Silver 02 Spec V with the Rockford system and everything. I was DAMN. I stopped selling Nissans right before the Altima and I forgot the Spec was coming out. The salesman walks up and hes like blah, blah, blah. I said I want to drive that *points to Spec V* I scared the salesman shitless and totally fell in love with it. I've driven ALOT of cars, but for some odd reason this one was meant for me. I trade in a 99 Sentra 1.6L and maybe thats why this one feels so good to me. I recommend it and I think Honda/Acura is going to have problems on their hands with this one, plus its different which is another reason I like it.

Damn, and I promised myself no more Sentras DAMN!:D :D

Right back onto topic now.....

its the best when you can set off someone's alarm with your stereo, its great to see someone get out of there car alarm it, and then just drive past him him bumping setting his shit off, lol.

i do it all the time.

im rockin 2 12" Alpine Type R's pushed by a Hifonics Zues Series Limited Edition.

Well... I have only one sub in the trunk. It's too bad that it's not powered to its full potential. :( That's ok...

I've set off many alarms by my exhaust! :D

You guys get dimming lights when your bass is hitting hard? I do all the time and someone told me that I would blow my alternator if I didnt get something they said. I was looking through Crutchfield and saw "Striking Caps" its suppose to send power to your battery or your amp when you need it. Anyone have these? If so, how long do they last? Because they cost 80-100 bucks.:confused: :confused:

Yeah, I know what you are talking about. They are called capacitators. They come in .5 farad and 1 farad. I dont think they make them any larger. Yeah, they regulate power and help your battery out so it doesnt get drained as easily. You can get a Lightning Audio cap for cheaper than that. You should look into it if you are interested in one. You can get one pretty cheap off of ebay.

yeah, you should definately have a cap if you're gonna have a good system. I had two 1 farad caps in my car, here's what they looked like. I guess I can't find a good pic of mine, here you can just see the top of it.

actually, I did find a better picture. Here it is

Does it come with the wiring and everything else you need? Are they hard to install. I had friends help me install my amp and woofers, and also this little box that says "Adjustable Output Adaptable" it was hooked up to my rear stock speakers and they were also hooked up to the amp. Well when I get my new car (02 Spec-V) I took all my wiring out of my old car. Why you ask? Because I'm a cheap bastard and that wiring cost me a good 100 bucks (Monster Cable amp kit and speaker wire). But another question... whats a crossover and what does it do? Isn't that for the speakers that arent hooked up to the amp or for the highs or something?:confused: :confused:

I don't have my system yet but if i was to put 3 audiobahn alum 12x woofers in a ported box with two lanzar amps will i be able to set off alarms with this. I looking for a system that will have some serious bass and sound quality.

i'm pushing two mtx 12's the 6000's. an mtx 4250 d amp 4 gauge power, .5 farad monster cap, all low noise rca's alpine 4 channel all infinity interiors, alpine cda 7875 hu, and i just got the pioneer rf satellite radio tuner. i've got some nice bump in my trunk, all because i work at circuit city. i would of never been able to afford it otherwise

Yea all that stuff sounds expensive. I'm saving up my money for some Sony Xplod stuff. I seen the head unit, cd changer, and interior speakers that I want from Sony. I try to keep everything one brand.:sun:

i don't like the sony xplod subs at all. they just don't hit hard enough

I'm not getting the subs, I have MTX subs already. I'm getting just the door speakers to replace my factory joints. Believe it or not but the stock system in the Spec-V isn't bad for a factory setup. It has 2 tweeters, 4 speakers, and a sub. Everything is Panasonic.

the sony's give real nice highs, i like the infinity's cause they have a nice bass response

So I should get the Inifinity's? What are component systems?

I hear that Infinity Reference are good. In reference to speakers, components consist of more than one driver (ie. tweeter, woofer) which are dedicated to reproducing a certain range of frequenices. [Tweeters play the highs: cymbals, hi-hat, the phonetic S stuff like that..
Mids play... the midrange frequencies (vocals). And, woofers go a bit lower. (That is the case in a 3-way component set.)] The most popular set consists of 2 drivers. What keeps them from playing the other stuff is a crossover.

If you want good prices on audio stuff.. definately talk to Sparq.

Spec-V, I would suggest that you NOT get the sony speakers. They sound like crap. They distort. The only good thing about them is that they are loud....and kinda cheap too. The JBL GTI speakers are supposed to be really nice. They'll run you about a hundred bucks, but from what I hear, they are definitely worth it. The GTI subs kick ass too. Oh man, they hit ungodly hard. They will take all the power you can give them, but if you guys want loud....look no further. I know one guy that has a GTI 12", it hits harder than 4 12"s. I swear.

i have a friend with a pair of GTI 12s.. bandpass style...they sound good...but...no way are they louder than four 12s..

Start a new thread about this. This is about setting off car alarms with your system, not about which speakers to buy.

What kind of amp(s) does this person have pushing the GTIs? The guy I know has his in a crappy Galant with a Kenwood amp pushing it, and I swear, it is so loud. His one GTI is louder than 4 12's. But his isnt in a bandpass. His is just sealed I think. That makes it louder. Sooo...yeah.

This thread is about setting off car alarms with your stereo, not what kind of amps somebody has for their GTIs. :mad: :D

I give myself headaches from blasting my music, and mean looks from parents, does that count?
