New member Username: NailerPost Number: 1 Registered: Jul-08 | To start I'm driving an '08 Nissan Altima Coupe. Is there any chance I could fit 12"s in the trunk, and where can I find enclosures that might possibly fit my '08 Nissan Altima Coupe? The enclosure I have listed below is non-ported, and I really would like something with a large kick to it. Subwoofers: 2 x Alpine SWR-1042D http://www.onlinecarstereo.com/CarAudio/ProductDetail.aspx?ProductID=14952 Subwoofer Amplifier: JL Audio 500/1v2 http://www.onlinecarstereo.com/CarAudio/ProductDetail.aspx?ProductID=18474 Should I do the 1000 watts model or will 500 be enough to power two subs? Speakers: Alpine SPR-17C http://www.onlinecarstereo.com/CarAudio/ProductDetail.aspx?ProductID=17562 Speaker amplifier: Alpine PDX-4.150 http://www.onlinecarstereo.com/CarAudio/ProductDetail.aspx?ProductID=17194 Should I get a different kind, a non-digital JLAudio one maybe? If so which kind? Or will this be fine? Enclosure: ZEnclosure box custom made for '08 Nissan Altima Coupe. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/08-Nissan-ALTIMA-COUPE-Subwoofer-Enclosure-Sub-Bo x_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ38647QQihZ025QQitemZ380042212936QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZ WDVW This is a non-ported enclosure. Will this make a very large difference when it comes to power? If so, what enclosure brands should I look at that might work well? Thanks for any responses I'm really ignorant about this stuff |

That makes it rather difficult for the sound wave to make it into the cabin of the car. As for putting 2 12" subs in your trunk i have no experience with that car. But if you want a nice enclosure Fisher customs does great work. |

Gold Member Username: CtmikeCt. Post Number: 6294 Registered: Feb-06 | here's a little system that wouldn't require much of an electrical upgrade. head unit - jvc arsenal kd-ar5500 - $189.99 http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_3720_--+CLOSEOUT--+--+JVC+Arsenal+KD-AR5500. html subs - pair of ed 13kv.2 subs - $150?http://www.edesignaudio.com/product_info.php?products_id=737 sub amp - sundown sae1000d - $300 http://kluvkustoms.com/cgi-bin/online/storepro.php components - pioneer ts-d1720c - $130? http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_12224_Pioneer+TS-D1720C.html component amp - kicker zx200.2 - $109.99 http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_6591_Kicker+ZX200.2.html sound deadner - 80sqft. second skin damplifier - $250? http://www.secondskinaudio.com/viewcart.php custom box (either woodlawn or fishercustoms) - $250? total - around $1,630. give or take a few depending on box costs, and shipping costs on several of the items. if wanting to save even more, you could go with edead sound deadner instead of second skin and probably save about $120-130 doing so. should leave you enough for wiring, etc. and probably a decent set of coaxs' for the rear if wanting to upgrade those to (just leave them running off the head unit imo). |
