Bronze Member Username: 20inchchoppazFrankfort, Ky Post Number: 27 Registered: Apr-07 | how about 2 alphasonik 8124 12's and a aq2200d amp would that work? |

Gold Member Username: Hittin1TEAM REVOLUTIONLake Charles... Post Number: 2315 Registered: May-07 | great amp choice, IF you have eletrical upgades.. i would NOT go with any of the subs that you mentioned above. CVR's are fine but not with that amp and you will not likely win any contests with them... as for already having a ported box... well, I would not recommend using it unless it just happens to be the exact spec's needed for the subs you choose.. And if it is a prefeb.... throw it away. a good sub(s) on that amp would likely bust the sides out of a prefab. What car audio equipment do you already have? what sub sound are you looking for ?SQL-mixture of SQ and pure bass or SPL-pure bass- not very clean bass but very loud. |

Bronze Member Username: 20inchchoppazFrankfort, Ky Post Number: 28 Registered: Apr-07 | i have a clarion max385vd indash tv, 4g amp kit thats it, I guess I'm going for the spl sound since thats what I see on all the contest cars is that spl, or just like if I'm gettin ready to pull in my road you can hear me before you see me type deal if thats some kinda sound, I didnt know there was that different types of sounds |

Post Number: 2324 Registered: May-07 | You are gonna need a 0/1 ga wire kit, amp, sub(s), enclosure, mid/highs, amp for mids/highs, extra battery or at least a large audio series dry cell deep cycle battery, and possibly a h.o. alt. Your budget is a lil low for a competition level car. |

Bronze Member Username: 20inchchoppazFrankfort, Ky Post Number: 29 Registered: Apr-07 | how good are quantum audio amps????? guy said they are good amps at a local shop, he can get me a 3000 watt one for 275 |

Gold Member Username: Snowball123West Allis, WI Post Number: 2102 Registered: Oct-07 | that's prolly max power, don't even listen to your local audio shop, most of them don't even know what they're talking about and just want to sell you their product. But that amp sucks. |

Silver Member Username: TurnmatRacine, Wi Post Number: 837 Registered: Feb-07 | you have a pretty large trunk. My suggestion would be to go with 1-2 15" subs in a custom built box. I would stay below 1200 watts rms. Anything more then that you would probably want to upgrade your electrical. I would look at audioque SDC2.5 15 fi bl 15 there are plenty of other subs out there but those two came to mind |

Gold Member Username: Nd4spd18Philadelphia, PA Post Number: 9665 Registered: Jul-06 | every sub you've listed = fail except the CVR but even thats not that great, there is much better stuff out there. AQ amps are great, good choice there. quantum audio = huge fail |
