Bronze Member Username: SuicideshifterBristolville, Ohio United States Post Number: 87 Registered: Jul-04 | if u getting a deck, i would get an alpine...what kind of sound do you want? Sound pressure lvl or sound quality? kickers are ok but if your willing to spend that much, you can get alot better quality subs and amp. infinities arent bad but i would second think on the kickers |

Silver Member Username: UcfsaxmanOviedo/orlando, Fl Post Number: 246 Registered: May-05 | well if you want good quality and loud and have the money you should look into JL audio maybe a couple of w6v2's and Jl 1000/1 amp or 1 W7 12 or 13. Infinity is pretty good quality you could get a 2 ch amp for the front components nice car btw are you gonna do any other mods and turn it into a show car. |

Silver Member Username: CenusHicksville, Ohio Usa Post Number: 577 Registered: Jan-05 | if you go with eclipse go with the ti's not the ti pro's. the ti's are sql subs and the ti pros are spl subs, and some other subs to look at would be adire brahma, Re xxx, ascendant audio but there subs aren't out yet, mtx 9500 series, or mabey a DD 3500 series. Im not sure on H/U or speakers. |
|
New member Username: Jess86Post Number: 7 Registered: Oct-05 | Yeah im gonna do alot to it lol heres a few things...HKS GT2530's, HKS front mount intercoolers, nismo 740cc/min, specialty z stainless high flow cats, HKS Carbon Ti few other mods too but thats off topic So most people have told me that the kickers are crap so Ive changed my mind on those...and quite a few like the jl and eclipse do these two have good quality? I started to look at some of the eclipse subs and what do you think about the 12" Eclipse Titanium SW9122 Subs? |
|
Bronze Member Username: PoofPost Number: 79 Registered: Apr-05 | they are good subs for sure but dont be fooled just because eclipse and jl are name brands done make them the best....the tip pros are amazing subs i have one 12" im not running it but its a great sub in both sq and spl.....i am running MTX right now and id say for the $the MTX 9500 is amazing its sq is great and it hits real hard plus its like 400$ compared to jls w7 that is like 600$ and the 9500 can get just as loud and sound just as good as tthe w7 without any strain |
|
Silver Member Username: CenusHicksville, Ohio Usa Post Number: 578 Registered: Jan-05 | that eclipse sub is very nice, it will have great sq and get pretty loud. between jl and eclipse there both great companeys but jl is overpriced, so i would with eclipse but its up to you. and kicker subs are ok, but there for ppl who don't have a huge amount of money to play with. |

Bronze Member Username: PoofPost Number: 80 Registered: Apr-05 | nowi know all opinions are differant but i happen to own several subs just so you know....i have 2 10 infinity kappas ...i have 2 MTX 9500's, 2 8500's and 1 7500 all 12" and i have 2 jl w7s 12" and one eclipe Ti pro 12" i run the MTX 9500s the most just for sound quality and issues related to that but i have the w7's set up too and they bump and sound great...the eclipse is also amazing it sounds like a pair of 12"'s and it can sound good at the same time if you want to save your cash id go with MTX for sure i have alot of experiance with them and they are definitly a good comapny plus they give out a full coverage warentee for 3-4 years on the 9500series...aka if you blow it they will replace it |

Bronze Member Username: Eddyg519Post Number: 24 Registered: Oct-05 | Eclipse is known to be a very high end brand, but personally i would go for something along the same quaility but for alot cheaper, as eclipse is an arm/leg. |

Gold Member Username: RovinTrinidad & T... Post Number: 1928 Registered: Jul-05 | I posted this , this morning in the same thread that ran in the amp section where surprisingly only 2 ppl answered .......... welcome to the forum - it shows that u have done your research & that's a sweet ride too .... Deck - good , but get the Premier version instead it has a few better features like higher voltage output etc . $450-500 Infinity Perfects - name says it all .around $300 or less . Amp for it - $225 http://www.woofersetc.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=product.display&Product_ID=592 2 subs - $600 http://www.woofersetc.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=product.display&Product_ID=2059 2 amps for it - $590 http://www.woofersetc.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=product.display&Product_ID=250 total $2275 .... google the model nos & it will be found cheaper . $ is also needed for wiring ,materials , box & install fee if u getting it done by a shop . U can get cheaper brands than the JLs above , i posted some more higher end equip so post back if u want some lower 4 subs/amps choices .....  |

Gold Member Username: InvainMichigan United States Post Number: 3985 Registered: Aug-04 | Drop the tens and just use two 12's. No point in mixing sizes really. |

Gold Member Username: RovinTrinidad & T... Post Number: 1943 Registered: Jul-05 | Jessica - What do u think of my suggestions ? ..... |
|
Gold Member Username: CarguyPost Number: 4955 Registered: Nov-04 | Jessica, you really should go listen to JL 12W7 in a HO box before spending money. I can almost guarantee you, you will love the sound quality. It will also be heard a block away. Unless you have passengers at the back, rears are not required for SQ. |
|
New member Username: Jess86Post Number: 10 Registered: Oct-05 | All of the suggestions have been great... Where do you think I can hear them at? |
|
Gold Member Username: RovinTrinidad & T... Post Number: 1951 Registered: Jul-05 | @ your local audio install shop !? .... I think all of us can safely agree on your deck & comps choice - its all up to u to pick subs (how loud & degree of sound quality ) & then the guys could rec a appropiate amp . |
|
Bronze Member Username: Jess86Post Number: 11 Registered: Oct-05 | K ill have to try n hear those in a couple days |
|
Bronze Member Username: Jess86Post Number: 12 Registered: Oct-05 | was looking around online for the JL 12W7s in a HO box and cant find a ton of them and the ho boxes only hold one sub? |
|
Bronze Member Username: TransientTaosUSA Post Number: 12 Registered: Oct-05 | Jessica, what u 1st said is great. All u need is a good 2 ch. amp like MTX. They're small & powerul. All that is well in your budget check out etronics.com or sonicelectronix.com. |
|
Gold Member Username: CarguyPost Number: 4958 Registered: Nov-04 | Jessica, you need to contact JL for the location nearest you. Yes, it is for 1 sub. However, due to the box design, it'll sound louder than couple of subs. This is why I suggested to you, that it's best to listen in person. You will be very impressed with the SQ and loudness. Be careful of eBay. Lot of them sell abused JL W7 in HO boxes. |

jonathen Unregistered guest | If you want a loud system, get 5 18' inch subs, 10 tweeters, and a 2 10,000 watt pyle amplifier. |

Silver Member Username: ChriskleinPost Number: 289 Registered: Aug-05 | Get: DEH-860MP pioneer premeir 300 9600 is not worth it 2 Zapco Reference 1100.1's 1500 2 Diamond Audio D9's 650 Zapco Reference 350.2 375 DLS Iridium 6.2's around 500 Cabling box alt(s) and batter(s) maybe 400-500 No rear fill, and use all symbilink cabling. Uprade some batteries, and get 1 or 2 HO alts. That would be over 3, but that is what i would do if i had the money and i didnt care about my hearing. |
