New member Username: Bballshortie64Post Number: 3 Registered: May-07 | i was looking at subzero earthquakes... would they be a good buy |

Silver Member Username: M0nkeyman692Post Number: 181 Registered: Feb-07 | nah their way over priced for their quality. what ive always been told is to stick to either fi, audioque, DD, re, rd, treo and a few others that i cant think of. but you can deffinitly get better for your money than earthquakes |

Gold Member Username: Nyyfan13Fi SSD USA Post Number: 5134 Registered: Jul-06 | nice budget how many subs? what size? how much power you looking at running? do you mind electrical upgrades? looking for sq(sound quality), sql(mix of both), or spl(loud, not very good sound quality)? sorry for all the questions, it will just be easier to help |

Gold Member Username: BernymacCambodian Post Number: 2763 Registered: Sep-04 | 1000 on subs, 1000 on amps, 1000 on electrical upgrades, 200-300 on (wire, fuse dist blocks, little stuff), 100-400 on a box (thats if you decide to make one or have someone make one for you), a few hundred on sound deadener if you wish, your going to need some good components or loud ones to keep up with 8k. Also include money you are going to spend on tools. Its going to be a big project, especially if you decide to go with 8k of power. I also hope you have the knowledge to put together this type of system. Don't want your car to burn down. right? |

Gold Member Username: Freezeman_7C.FREE Post Number: 1191 Registered: May-06 | yeah true, actually either the 95s or the 35s, would be a good choice. but that would be a big azs box, for 4 15's |

Gold Member Username: Th3pwn3rPost Number:... Post Number: 2725 Registered: Jul-06 | If this is his first system he doesn't need all of that in my opinion.Beef up your charging system get a nice head unit, nice speakers all around and then go light on the subs and amp for a first setup IMO. |

Silver Member Username: JkidderSpring hill, Florida Usa Post Number: 640 Registered: Nov-05 | berny is right. if some1 from a forum or knowlegeable person u kno lives around u. give them some cash to help. n' a box like that i'd def pay to have some1 make it unless ur really experienced. i kno i wouldnt even attempt a 7+ cube box. bracing and all types of sh!t |

Gold Member Username: Th3pwn3rPost Number:... Post Number: 2726 Registered: Jul-06 | Tyler you do not need 2 subs and 2 amps right off the bat.Try running a single 9515 if you're going to run that sub...and a single amp to it.It it's not loud enough for you then get another 9515 and another amp.The only downside to this would be you'd have to buy another box so you'd waste money on the first box for the single sub setup. |

Silver Member Username: JkidderSpring hill, Florida Usa Post Number: 641 Registered: Nov-05 | an install like that by itself is a good 600 dollars. u can do head unit and alternator and a few of the wirings but alot of that stuff is too complicated for a beginner. such as settin crossovers, installing amps and speakers. placement of speakers (tweets), wiring batts, gains, big 3. unless u plan on spending a few months learning all these things its better to have it professionally done. when do u plan on buying and r u into ebay? |

Silver Member Username: JkidderSpring hill, Florida Usa Post Number: 642 Registered: Nov-05 | rob, u want him to run the 95 at 4k+ daily? or do u think it would be btter idea to get the 2 35's like i suggested per amp? the memphis is a powerful sucker |

Gold Member Username: BernymacCambodian Post Number: 2764 Registered: Sep-04 | for a first system, 1500rms is more than enough for the beginner. I'm not sure what the loudest you have heard, but I would definitely go off of that so we have an idea of how loud you would like to get. 8000watts is a lot of power. You're going to go through recones and theres always the security issue. You don't want $4000 worth of equipment to be stolen. I say get two subs on 1500rms of power in a good box. Depending on your equipment, if you ever feel the need to upgrade, theres always people in the online community who are willing to purchase. Start small since your inexperienced in car audio. And spend months and months of learning/researching. www.bcae1.com |
