New member Username: JonboyPeoria, Arizona Post Number: 1 Registered: Sep-05 | I have the first portion of my system done and needing to decide on box N woofers. Pioneer deck, 2 Arc 6X9's 2 Arc 6-1/2's Arc 4 channel amp 50 watts X4 My choices have been the stealth boxes. 1) front middle seat replaced with box 12" 2) or 2 10" under the rear seat. I have not heard these yet and I just don't know enough about em,if one is better than the other. Any clues? |

Gold Member Username: Taylor17Kopperl, Texas Post Number: 2939 Registered: Jan-05 | Ok, I'm not sure what you're asking, I know you're talking about a 12 in a stelth box, but what kind of 10's/12 are you thinking about getting? |
Silver Member Username: LegacyaudioPost Number: 185 Registered: Feb-05 | hmm lets see y dont u read all the other posts the noobs like you make and you would see we would probably tell your worthless a.ss to call a company to make your box and buy some RE, JL, or any other company you would want us to tell you to buy because apparently you bought top of line speakers and dont know what top of the line subs to buy-although you should know that sytems sound quite bad in trucks when placed under seats or right next to your arm also nice choice of an amp- my head unit puts out 50 watts to all my speakers your POS dodge truck sucks a.ss and really isnt worth a system- as neither does arizona- u might as well be a mexican i bet it has a hemi too LOL i advise noone to help this kid- make CC or BB deal with his arrogant a.ss |
New member Username: JonboyPeoria, Arizona Post Number: 5 Registered: Sep-05 | Augh you f@g, you got me. So... I use to have a nice system like 20 years ago. $3000 worth. I loved it. (It was stolen) But I am just confused by all this stuff these days. So here are some recent questions I have. My Arc amp is 4X50watts or if @ 2ohms it is 90watts. What do I do to get it to the 90 watts? This guy at the stero shop told me that if I went with a higher output deck I would get alot more power. Wouldn't my amp only give me the power? |
New member Username: JonboyPeoria, Arizona Post Number: 6 Registered: Sep-05 | Augh c'mon don't get all butt soar with me. seriously... you have to admit it got you to reply right... Anyways, I admit I may be missing enough knowledge to spark up any interests with you guys that actualy know what your doing, And I should be looking for old posts to try and get some info. But this site is huge. and a few days worth of posts is just alot of reading, Besides, you started off not knowing anything and someone helped you out. Right? |
Gold Member Username: Taylor17Kopperl, Texas Post Number: 2945 Registered: Jan-05 | Yup, right. If you're using an amp to power the speakers, the HU's power means virtually nothing. The only way to get the 90 watts from that amp is to wire it to 2 ohms.:-) You'd need to post more on you're speakers for me to tell you any more. |
New member Username: JonboyPeoria, Arizona Post Number: 7 Registered: Sep-05 | legacy audio Mexican? nope not me. As if it matters, But it is mexican green.. And it doesn't have a hemi tayler 17, the stealth box that sits in the middle between the front seats is a jlw12?? I think. And then i would assume the 10's are jlw10's |
New member Username: JonboyPeoria, Arizona Post Number: 8 Registered: Sep-05 | Um...Arc 6X9's in the front doors 150 watts 75 watts nor. power sensitivity 86db FR 50hz-20khz 4ohm and Arc 6-1/2's in the rear doors. 100 watts 50 watts nor. power sensitivity 86db FR 60hz-20khz 4ohm |
Gold Member Username: Taylor17Kopperl, Texas Post Number: 2953 Registered: Jan-05 | Hmmm, JL 12w0, and JL10 w0? I don't really like the w0's, they sound good and all, but could handle more power, and get louder for my taste's.:-) I have heard a 12w3 in a box like that, powered by a Kicker 500 watt amp... which is way overpowering the sub... anyway, it sounded awsome. |
Silver Member Username: LegacyaudioPost Number: 186 Registered: Feb-05 | if you want a 10 i would suggest a 10 in Eclipse Ti- im a big fan of them umm the 12 in model isnt the best but still a great great sub- i would recommend an IDmax because mine worked very very well with small space- and it hits every note perfect wih about your wattage (im not sure if you said 500) you looking for spl(loud subs) of sq(drum kit next to you) |
New member Username: JonboyPeoria, Arizona Post Number: 9 Registered: Sep-05 | hey guys, Thanks for the suggestions. legacy audio, your last reply was that a question? (QUOTE) you looking for spl(loud subs) of sq(drum kit next to you) I am not sure what you mean if it was. I like clean subs, that don't have a problem hitting the tonal range of the lows. But...I also like warm and powerful mids. And by mids I mean... toms or snare drums that when hit you feel it in your chest. NOT brite tinny mids that just pierce your ears. Just pure true reproduction of the music. I am on this site cause when I go to the stereo shops to hear what my options are. there just loud and obnoxious. Great subs... and highs to no end, but it is always missing the middle stuff. Does this make sense? The best I can explain of what I am trying to achieve is like my home system. I have just 2 speakers A pair of Boston Acoustics. A150's 10" a mid and a tweeter. Great sounding, but could use a sub. This would fullfil what I want in a system. NOT like the satalite/sub systems. Not sure if I am making sence or not, but...do you know what I am talking about? |
New member Username: JonboyPeoria, Arizona Post Number: 10 Registered: Sep-05 | Here is a link to the stealth boxes I am considering. http://mobile.jlaudio.com/products_stealthbox_detail.php?fit_id=1436 http://mobile.jlaudio.com/products_stealthbox_detail.php?fit_id=1437 But I have not been able to hear them. Anyone know, out of these optipons which is better? |
Silver Member Username: LegacyaudioPost Number: 187 Registered: Feb-05 | i would recommend the Eclipse Ti for you- buy it from electronicgiant.com - good service lowest price- its a high end sub that hits low and almost all highs-and has very good sound quality-what your looking for- it can get loud though- if you want a more sound oriented sub though buy and IDmax- Image Dynamics- they will sound very clean, the cleanest on the market- they wont hit hard and low but they will hit- and work very well with lower wattage amps id take that first stealth box personally-take out the sub- both those subs are terrible versions in my opinion... y do you want a stealth box anway- if some1 wants to steal your stereo believ me they will look for it at all costs |
