New member Username: PerezreyesmWoodbridge, VA Usa Post Number: 2 Registered: Nov-08 | This a copy of my post in the amplifiers section I am building my first system my car. I have done lots of research and have come up with this. Its a 2003 dodge neon. My budget is about $1000 (+-$100) I plan on buying this system in three stages as I get paid about $300 to $400 dollars at a time. What would be the best order to buy the components? I have read to get the subs first as they will make the most significant change in the sound quality then fronts and then rears I listen mainly listen to hip-hop, rap, techno (trance). Then some classic rock, some metal, and some alternative I am looking for great SQ let me repeat that SQ is the top priority in this build, but I still would like to be able to turn up the bass to loud levels and really impress people I want something that will give adjustability especially the bass. Will an amp with a remote give me this adjustability? This is my list so far but I am willing to completely change it based on your suggestions.

Probably this one-http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_7604_Sonic+Sub+Box-+2H12-1.5.html I was originally thinking two of these-http://www.onlinecarstereo.com/CarAudio/ProductDetail.aspx?ProductID=17651 or these-http://www.onlinecarstereo.com/CarAudio/ProductDetail.aspx?ProductID=16898 but I got scared because they don't seem too popular and I am not too sure on SQ or general quality now I am looking at two of these-http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_4281_Alpine+SWR-1242D+-TYPE+R-.html how good is the SQ on these subs? I am also think two twelves might just be too much bass and I wont be able to hear the music. would two tens be better in terms of SQ and SPL as far as bang for the buck I kind like the idea of just one really good 12" I think that would be a little cheaper what would you suggest? heres the amp I was planning to use wit the type Rs-http://www.onlinecarstereo.com/CarAudio/ProductDetail.aspx?ProductID=19580 I know Hifonics isnt the best but i have read that they are good bang for the buck Finally what wires to use? are some brands better than others I have been looking at -http://www.knukonceptz.com/productMaster.cfm?Category=RCA%20Interconnects but their stuff is really expensive any ideas? I know this is a long post but I tried to be specific thanks in advanced for any help. Is it okay to post this here if not I will delete it. |
