Silver Member Username: Freezeman_7Lindsay, Oklahoma Post Number: 434 Registered: May-06 | hmm y have 2 12"s and 2 10"s that makes no sense. i dont thnk that is smart at all... plus with that kinda equipment. and your prolly the only person who likes sony. that or u havent heard a real system yet... when u get everything in SELL IT ... all of it... then once its all gone come back and ask her a system recommdation. but if you dont want to do that... then thats up to you... you will be clipping those subs to death... but might actually help subs that sh!tty.... well tahts my .02 cents |

Silver Member Username: Th3pwn3rChicago, Illinois U.S.A Post Number: 638 Registered: Jul-06 | ^No need to be so mean about everything...someone asks for help and you just go to town talking crap lol.Anyhow...try to cancel that order if possible,if you can't, you might as well go ahead and install it and slowly upgrade unless you have the money to start all from scratch.For most people it's easier to upgrade one thing at a time...since not all of us have tons of money to burn(Chad).Melissa stick around and read up on everything here and in time you're sure to learn plenty and you can develop your own preferance in quality car audio products. |

Gold Member Username: James1115Ct Post Number: 7071 Registered: Dec-04 | Look at Rob, what a nice guy Alriht Melissa is it to late to canve the cuspid's? I would sell them and run your sony's alone. What type of amp is your 1600 watt one? what type of HU are you going to be getting? that should be first thing if you dont have one already. If you stay on here like rob said within a month or two you will have a whole new system and be happier then a pig in well you know what |
|
Silver Member Username: Th3pwn3rChicago, Illinois U.S.A Post Number: 653 Registered: Jul-06 | That's right James,I'm a nice guy.They say nice guys finish last but isn't that a good thing if she is finishing first Both parties get a happy ending Anyhow...Melissa before you buy anything else come here and let us know what you want(Subs,Speakers,amp,etc...) and give us a budget and we can direct you to great products in your price range.Like I said stick around and in time you'll learn. |
|
New member Username: NevaehPost Number: 4 Registered: Oct-06 | ya its to late and the amp is heritage and i know this is probably oing to sound really bad but whats and HU |
|
New member Username: NevaehPost Number: 5 Registered: Oct-06 | well my friend is building me a custom box to fit in my trunk that holds 2 12" and 2 10" so thats what i want plus a good amp any suggestions |
|
Silver Member Username: Th3pwn3rChicago, Illinois U.S.A Post Number: 655 Registered: Jul-06 | HU=Head unit.Your deck,receiver.The thingy where you insert your CD's(sometimes). |
|
Silver Member Username: Th3pwn3rChicago, Illinois U.S.A Post Number: 656 Registered: Jul-06 | Don't build a box with 2 12's and 2 10's.There is no point to it in my opinion.We can help you get a box with just 2 12's and will sound much better. |
|
New member Username: NevaehPost Number: 6 Registered: Oct-06 | oh i knew that i have one its jvc i think is what it is i got it from a friend so i dont know anything about it lol. and would just 2 12" really sound better |
|
Gold Member Username: James1115Ct Post Number: 7076 Registered: Dec-04 | yes 2 sony 12's will sound better powered correctly then the 2 12's and 2 10's not powered correctly. + you have a high risk of cancelation using two different size subs. |
|
Silver Member Username: Th3pwn3rChicago, Illinois U.S.A Post Number: 658 Registered: Jul-06 | Yes You can even get just one 12'' and it will sound great and still be very loud in the right enclosure(Box).Do you have AIM?We could help you on there a lot faster.You can send a PM(Personal Message) to me with your AIM screen name and I'll try to help you out the best I can.My AIM sn is Getripped84 . |

|
Gold Member Username: James1115Ct Post Number: 7077 Registered: Dec-04 | wow did you have it set up like that always? I would do 1 12 or both 12's like Rob said. AIM is a easy way to get help. |

Silver Member Username: BernymacRialto, CA United States Post Number: 581 Registered: Sep-04 | amazing there isn't much flaming going on. You guys know if it was a guy from the top all the way to the bottom would just be plain arguments and what not. But I have a feeling your going to keep the equipment that you bought. Just do 2 12's. And sell the 10's that you bought. And when your ready to upgrade. your always welcome to come back and ask for help. |

|
Bronze Member Username: NevaehSt.Augustine, FL Usa Post Number: 24 Registered: Oct-06 | got a site i can go to truthfully ive never heard of them??? are they good and how is the price range |
|
Gold Member Username: JuliobSanto DomingoDominican Re... Post Number: 3028 Registered: Dec-05 | they cost between 80-120$ each. If your budget is lower then look into CVRs, Type R or even pioneer ts 306C (you can get the pair for only 110$ shipped. But they're more SPL subs). for the assassins go to www.ascendantaudio.com |
|
