Who has the biggest system

Probably not me

no pic, but i run 2 12" Alpine Type R's off a Hifonics Zues Series Limited Edition 600w amp.

Hmm ... I know marc os had 4 12's in his crx for a while ... and 4g4dstore has 3 12's custom mounted pretty nicely.

I know my 2 12's definitley arent the tightest, cause that redvalkarie guy with the CRX at the meet had some really good shit in his ride.

Mark OS... Im pretty sure! His shit was huge!

Im safe with Seth in here, he will attack any JL haters.(Man you got a little carried away the other day, don't hate on other brands so much)

i got 4 12 inch kicker xpls in my crx with 300 watts rms a piece, and boston pro components in the front and kicker free airs for mids in the rear and a 90 x 4 rms for them

I have like 275 Rms going to each of the 4 10's, are the Xpls dual voice coil? If not I got you then! Also is it ported?

How about 4-15" jbl 1500 gti's in a sub wall... Could use a little more power to them but with 200 rms per sub so far it's pretty loud.. Enough to flex the front window enough when it rains to let water in...

I got 2 JL 10 W0's in a custom box, with a 1200.1d Viper amp. I think I got it at 4 Ohms cuz I wasnt totally sure if my W0's could handel it. I got about 400 watts RMS at each sub. I am in the prosess of looking for 2 more W0's and making a custom box for the 4 of them, then dropping the ohms to 1 (maybe), thus giving me all 1200 watts to my 4 JL's. Probly not the biggest system here anyways. :rolleyes:

I think johnnym wins for the biggest system it if let water in the windshield when on.

look who showed up :p now I have a name to put to the sweet grey civic I knew I hadnt seen in a while.

Haven't been on in awhile. Had to come on and post some questions anyways. On the way home tonight it was getting difficult to shift. Then as I pulled into my place it started making a loud grinding noise. Pulled into my spot and tranny fluid was leaking everywhere, and the grinding was loud only when the clutch was not pushed in. I am hoping I only have to replace the seals and not the damn tranny since I just got it replaced about a year ago...

Ah 15's....... Hit hard, sound, eh..... Your gonna crack you window bro, just my 4 10W3's with 275 watts each and it puts the flex down on my roof!

it doesn't matter how many or how powerful your setup is, it is ALL about the install. my system is no where NEAR big, but i can pound the crap out of any ol' circuit city or best buy setup i've come across. those generic bandpass boxes that everybody drops random subs in are horrible, never tuned properly, and usually not installed correctly. i don't even have high end shit. 4G4DStore's setup is damn fine, he just needs to dynamat the FUCK out of his car hehe... my next system which will be all Pheonix Gold with an Eclipse deck will be all SQ, so we'll see how that goes.

Wait, this is the setup i was talking about! Those JBL's are pretty clean sounding! Need more power thoe... Your system looks nice!

Totaly agree!

I fully agree there, it matters big time on install. I had my little Planet Audio 120 Watt amp hooked up to just 2 12" JL W0's hitting 140.8 db, which was beating a lot of the 150-300 class in the comps i went to.

I was looking more for db than how many speakers you have. My shit is not circuit city installed, its rated at a A++ on the JL spec sheet according to the size of my box.

Its not all about the install though, ok, if you run 200 watts to a speaker that needs 600 or so(15 inch JBL), then it hit all that well.

Install helps make it sound better for the most part, yeah it makes it hit harder, but the amplifier makes it move, if you go ported, then you can run the ower power, but i choose to run 410W3's sealed, then 310W3's ported any day(air space I can work with). So for the hatch guys the install is important. Also dual voice coil speakers hit almost twice as hard as single.

My brother had a shity box in his accord and bought a new one that was way better and it didnt make that big of a differnece, but the amplifier he upgraded to did, man you guys get twisted some times. Also, why couldn't circuit city or goodguys make a good box(it isnt rocket science)

alright let me rephrase, its the knowledge that matters. If you know what you are doing, the install will be correct and the power for the subs will be correct, everything should be almost perfect.

and ofcourse DVC are gonna hit twice as hard as a SVC, its twice the speaker:D;)

No shit and of course a good box will hit better than a bad one. If you don't have a good system install, then why the hell would you even reply in this thread, its not about cheesy Radioshack stereos.

The thread is:
"Who has the biggest system" The only way to tell is DB.....
Not "Does the Install matter"
Or "who has the best install"
or "does install matter"

Im not digging the 4 15 setup with 200 watts to each speaker, sounds pointless to me..... Why not run 2 with lots of power? Dont know, unless he is adding another amp. And my speakers and box are matched to the amp i have, so Im all good....

i just designed my system to fit my needs, but whatever makes you happy is what you should go with. and install IS tied to how big your system is, because you're only gonna hit high dBs or do good at an SQ comp if your shit is INSTALLED well.

install IS tied to how big your system is, because you're only gonna hit high dBs or do good at an SQ comp if your shit is INSTALLED well. [/B][/QUOTE]

ok, already, everthing matters, what I meant by biggest is DB, so if you dont have a system shut up please....whores

what about fools that have a tight ass setup but run like speaker wire...whats up with that..i know after bying a exspensive setup its hard to want to dish out even more but wire is a pretty important component i think

installation had nothin to do with db. its the right airspace for the speaker, a box built to spec. the install doent really matter i have seen shit just thrown in slumpin harder than alotta people's 'profesional installation' cause they had the correct box for the speakers

And whoever was sayin somethin about goodguys installers not makin good boxes, maybe the installers at ur goodguys suck , because the goodguys here, there installers are bad ass, always makin custom boxes and sounds good

Agreed! Building a box is not rocket science, you just have to do the math, pretty easy. Sure ported boxes can be setup all sorts of ways and yes sometimes the smaller stereo shops do better ported boxes, but they charge a ton also.

But anyway this thread wasnt intended to talk about speaker wiring what places build good boxes, its about the DB or just pics of your nice stereo if you want, from 1 10 to whatever.........

At the moment I have 1 x 12" Kenwood sub, 400W jensen Amp, 2 x Pioneer 552i 13cm speakers, Kenwood KDC 5090B head unit

To go in I have 2 x 12" Magnat subs, 4 6x9's, 1000w 4 way Boss Amp, 2way 500w Mosfet amp, and thats about it

OH AND JOHNNYM, MAN I FUCKIN' LUV YER CAR!!!!!!

im runnin 2 12" jl W0's with no amp lol, temporarily runnin them off my deck.

i agree that its mostly based on the install, if you dont get the right box volume or wrong type wire it badly it will sound like ass, and all distorted and shit.

i can turn my system all the way up to the max, and have no distortion from my subs, thats what 3hrs of tuning time will give ya.

plus i dont care how loud your system is, if it isnt installed nicely, then its shit, dont just throw an amp in a trunk with some box, mount em.

im rocking 2 10's rockford fosgates with a 900 watt logic amp cooled by two remote controlled fans on top. hits prettyhard i love the way it sounds. hits better than my friends JL w3 2 12's.:D

Older Alpine Tape Deck (no comments)
Ai-net changer installed in the custom center console (moved the heater controls)
Sony 5way x-0ver
(2) Memphis Belles (5 channel amps- 4x100 and 1x1500)
(2) Boston Pro 12’s in a glassed box in the spare tire well
(2) Boston CX9-3’s 6x9 in the rear deck where the factory location is. Fiberglassed enclosers
(2) Boston pro 6’s in the doors
(2) Boston pro 4’s in the doors
(2) Boston pro tweet’s in the doors

all in all I’m running about 3000+ watts (true watts) and it’s cleaner than your momma!

I don't know if mine is the BIGGEST, but it's nice, and has pleny of power and SPL - 148.6 without dynamat, and I'm pushing 1300 watts RMS.

I do.

A Blaupunkt cd player (hey it beats the AM/FM radio) and the stock 5 1/2 front speakers.

ive only got one competiton grade FUSION 12" but its 500 watts RMS and is in a bandpass box, and up front ive got FUSION 6.5 components rated at 245 watts RMS all powered by a FUSION FPS-1400 amp. yes that is 1400 watts, a little over kill but leaves room for additions later.

Ok, I paid $150 to have a box made and carpeted and specs at a A++ on the chart. I hav a friend that spent $600 on a ported box from the same place and the results are:

99 chevy tahoe(his)= 3 10w0s($100 each), the box was $600, he had a 400 watt Arc running to it ($400)and I out hit his ported box by far.........

I have 4 10W3's($160each*4) and paid $600 for my amp, and $150 for the box, my total=$1390 for mine
his=$1300

Ok, I have a sealed box so its sounds better and hits way the hell harder, yes install does matter, but it is not cheap. Plus for $150 you should be able to get a good box.

This is my 92,

cracks nuckles..Yall ready for this shit.
Two Viper 12.2s with one viper d2500.1 that wired at four ohms so less then half of its 2700 watts of rated power at two ohms, so that is about 1100 watts. One SVR 80 battery under the hood and i comptet in db drag racing street A class. All good for my highest score so far is a 151.2 db.

My new systme that is geeting ready to be put is two RE SE 12s with two viper d2500.1 amps at two ohms so each speaker will see the true 2700 watts a piece.

Breaking windshields? Ya right. That is one of the toughest things to do. Super street guys don't break windsheilds and they are hittin in the mid 170s.

Yes i do have roof flex..window flex..and just about everything else flex.

sure my systems not all that big but its good for now untill i can get my Lightning Audio Amps. once i get those we have a comp here in town in the summer once and awhile that i'm gonna goto prolly to try my shit out

i just have two kappa 12's and a power acoustik 1500 watt amp along with a kenwood head unit and kapp speakers all the way around. Nothing special but I wanna say a lot of you have some nice systems. I wish I had as nice of a system

u got one better than mine by the sounds of it hehe ;)

It's aight. Nothing special but it does the job. I should have gotten a better amp but the lack of funds kind of stopped that.

yea it sux a ton not havin funds eh? :( i'm still waiting to get funds 2 afford the Lightning Audios

But you sure are glad you didnt waste as much money as I did. Went from 2 eclipse for $150 a pair, to eclipse for $300 a pair, then to 310W3's then added another, bought a $90 piece of crap coustic x-over, I liked their amps though went from a 240 to a 320 to a 480 four channel, then kept the 480 and added a 600 watt amp. Now I have an Arc1500dr that cost me $750 and $640 for the 410W3's. I also started with 4 by 6 eclipse in the dash, then got MB quart, well the list goes on and on and Ive only had the truck for like 2 3/4 years now. All in all Ive spent over $2900 for what is in the truck now and with al the upgrading and selling the other amps Ive spent like $4500. I could have 20 inch rims and a slammed truck with everything sahved and rollpan for what ive spent and I could probably hear a little better also.

Since my old setup was mentioned, I might as well post a pic of it. My setup looks ghetto compared to all you guys with your cleanly installed systems.

just tossed the box in the back and ran the wires under the seat lol
i got the same RF subs as u tho ;) hehe :D
how many watts r those btw? i havent taken one of mine out yet to check lol

The box is carpeted though, its not bad, mismatching subs doesnt sound that great but still hits. At least you were running kicker and Fosgate together though

The RF's take 400w RMS.

I wanna add 3 more 10W3's and another Arc1500dr along with a 2500 for the mids and highs and get twice the mids and highs also. But I just wrecked the truck.(Which sucks, cause im getting $2,000 back for taxes and would ahve out $1100 towards the stereo for some comps...) Oh weel I guess Ill stay away from the competitions for now

my 2 12's were 100 bux with the box, used but i knew the guy who had them b4 and there in great shape still, my buddy gets new speakers like every 2 months or less lol so he gave me these for 100 and they hit hard in his Jetta with 2 of those Lightning Audio Amps :D

I don't remember what the letters stand for, but what it basically is, is how many watts your subs needs constantly, or the average amount of watts your sub takes. It's the number you use to judge how big of an amp you need.

alright so i can run a 400 watt amp if I want for both subs? like have both subs 2 one amp?
cuz i was thinkin just one 200 watt cuz i dont wanna spend all that cash lol

yeah, that'll work, but you'll be a bit underpowered.

Yes, that should be plenty as long as its RMS. You will be a little underpowered though

i was thinkin about one 300 watt amp to my 2 12 w0's which each have i think 125 RMS:eek:

Marc-OS beat me to it. Hey Marc-Os how much dothe RF usually cost?

As long as you run clean power , you can run up to 250 watts or more to W0's, and like 500 to W3's, kinda scary though
