Anonymous | I have a '95 4-door Acura Legend with the following: Alpine CDA-9855 deck, Alpine Type R component 6 1/2", Alpine Type R 6x9s in the back and Pyramid 600watt amp powering them. I'm a "bass junkie" and listen to a lot of rap and techno. Please give me your suggestions on what sub/amp combo to get to have enough bass to get a good "back massage". The better value the better. Thank you! |

Anonymous | ear hall wallace, I don't have a set budget, but I wouldn't want to spend any more than I have to. The bottom line is I want there to be enough bass to be heard on the street when I'm driving by . 15" would probably be too big for my trunk, I'm thinking more along the lines of 12". How much power do you think I need to make a full size sedan shake? Also, any suggestions on makes and models would be greatly appreciated. Once again, thank you to whoever takes their time respond! |

Anonymous | How many watts do I need at the least? What kind of an amp? Mono or 2-channel? |
Silver Member Username: Marley289Post Number: 190 Registered: Nov-04 | mtx 421d for the amp, then get 2 12" mtx 4500's http://www.cardomain.com/item/MTX421D amp http://www.cardomain.com/item/MTXT451204 subs i have this same set up, and now i cant stop my car from rattling, im gonna have to get dynamat sooner or later cuz the rattling is so bad on the outside |
Anonymous | Thank you Lee! I do have to admitt though, I am somewhat skeptical that 400watts would be enough for 2 12" in a full size sedan. What do you guys think? |
KMARTXR Unregistered guest | i have a 4 door 93 civic, 2 12" kenwood w3009 plus a amp that puts out 400rms is plenty, i enjoyed my back massage and had rattles out the a$$. my friend could hear the bass at his house 1/4 mile down the road. he kenwoods are a little cheaper but still sound great. however i would take the mtx or kicker over kenwood anyday |
