Looking to put together an SPL system (Budget $5k)
|
New member Username: CjacksonChattahoochee, FL USA Post Number: 4 Registered: Mar-06 | Ok. I finally got some cash saved up to build a system for my 93' Explorer. Right now everythings stock, even the deck. I've been eying the Pioneer Premier DEH-P880PRS and it seems very nice, but I've stuck with Alpine and Sony in the past for HUs. I've been out of the car audio game for a while so I'm not sure what brands are best, but I do have a pretty substaintial amount of knowledge on the subject. Like I mentioned in the subject I want a system based around SPL. I have the whole rear of my SUV to work with, I'd rather keep the rear seat though because I utilize it sometimes. All of my friends have higher end systems, one of my buddies has a Suburban with 4 18" Juggernauts in a wall, one has 2 18" Solos, and one has 3 W7s. My point is I'd like something that is comparable if possible, but I want to focus on SPL instead of SQ. Hopefully that was clear enough. I may be able to get ahold of another grand if it's required. If you need anymore information please post here or you can give me an email at the address listed below (Or catch me on MSN Messenger). Thanks, Devin DLS_62784@Hotmail.Com |

DD-9915 or 9918 Treo- SSx Mmats- Juggernauts. i doubt you want them if your friend has them already. Soundstream- XXX RE- MT once you find out what subs you like then look for amps, its alot easier to find the one that suits your needs that way. you will probably need 2 300amp alternators. and i would do a battery for every amp. as far as a box i would fire all the subs up and have 2 huge slot ports fireing back with around 300-350 square inches of port. tuned to 38-42hz that way you can get alot of music out of it as well as high SPL. |

New member Username: CjacksonChattahoochee, FL USA Post Number: 5 Registered: Mar-06 | Ok now the DD-9915s, how much do they cost? I can't seem find any prices on the website. I think that 5k watts RMS may be a bit much per sub, but in all that might be a realistic goal. Also, how much do the DD-9515s cost? I'd like to get an idea of how much these are going to cost to find out how much of a budget I have to work with on the amp and a few more things. Thanks, Devin |

Also, Maybe a few SI Mag subs.... Think about some Resonant engineering XXX subs they are expensive but i think you can pull it, those will definately bump with the best, throw about 2500+ watts to each speaker and get 2 18s |

Gold Member Username: Extrmndor3Chicago, Ill Us Post Number: 1339 Registered: Feb-06 | yup but since he wants a spl system, for me a spl system is a system u can win by been the loudest dude, so if u think the ne re audio xxx, treos, stereos integritys cant touch a neo sig defianetly cant even keep up with a apx |

New member Username: CjacksonChattahoochee, FL USA Post Number: 6 Registered: Mar-06 | Anybody got any prices on any of these subs? I went over to RoE and watched some videos and damn man there are some nice trucks and SUVs on there. I watched some videos with some DD-9500 series subs and some with Atomic APXX, both are nice subs and seem to move ALOT of air. Either would be sufficient for what I'm looking for, although there is no real way to know which is better without testing both and theres no shops around here that carry either so I guess I'll just have to choose one or be swayed one way. The DD are very reputable and probably have more people pulling for them so I'm probably going with them unless anyone else has anything else to add. Thanks for the help so far... Devin |
