i am planning on getting a regular cab chevy colorado within the next few weeks and am starting to plan out the sound system. so far i know the h.u, door speakers and tweeters. but am not sure about the sub, amp or box. i have been looking at ssa and sundown audio. i am more into sq than spl and listen to a variety of music anywhere from rap to metal. and i have a budget for the sub, box, and amp of around 600 to 700. space is the number one issue since its a regular cab, i do not care if there is room in the back i just do not want to have to have the seat pulled up to an uncomfortable position.

yes , sorry i didnt put that in the original post. but i did that right after trying both my ipods.

i have a kenwood h.u. that ive had for about 2 years not sure the model name(can get if needed) but it has the 2 preouts in back and usb and aux in the front. I was playing my ipod yesterday and all of a sudden it just stopped , so i unplugged it and tried it again and all it says is reading . i have tried both my ipods and that is not the problem, the aux works fine . any suggestions on how or what i can do to fix it?

i can not wait! i need new speakers, amps and a sub! im giddy

haha, hopefully i do not have this temp build for that long. i plan to have the tc by the end of summer keyword is plan though

alright this is will be my first build that i have done. i have probably been off and on this site for the past year wanting to get a sub to go with the rest of my system but sadly parents said no. finally got a "yeah its your money do what u want with it" and have finally started to get everything sorted out. first off stats 1991 mustang vert ( 4cyl) kenwood h.u infinity coaxials all round (dash 3.5, door 5 1/4, and back 6x8s) nothing is amplified other than from h.u i have contacted porkchop for some guidance on the box , because it is not going in the shoe box of a trunk it is going in the back seat. the sub will be a ssa dcon 12 in a sealed box running off a re audio dts 800.1 @ 2 ohms pushing 380 rms to the sub i am going to get the knuconceptz 4 guage wiring kit for the sub the flex version getting windows tinted to 15% in the next day or so then i will start to order everything that is needed. pics will be up shortly, hope u enjoy my small build as a first timer hoping to make a bigger setup in the next ride i get.

yup back seat! the trunk is literally 10inches deep. i just have to get the limo tint first, and no amp for the other speakers until i get my scion tc. this is my temp set up till i have enough for it. budget is roughly 600$ so i shouldnt break it that easily

pics of the back seat,

i want to buy a 12 inch ssa dcon and run it off an re/us amps dts 800.1 mono block which runs 400watts at 1ohm and 280 at 2 ohms. can the dcon be wired down to 1ohm stable or should i keep it at 2 ohms and run the 280rms to it? Thanks

Possibly play " beam me up" I can't remember the artist name

i might start off with the 800.1 or save for the 1000.1. its going in a ported box roughly 1.5 cubes

yes, i already have alittle set up so all i have to do is rewire the amp wire and power

i have 300-400 to spent on subs, they will be going in the back seat of my convertible mustang so space is workable and i am looking for sq over spl. am i better off getting 1 ported sa 12 or 2 sealed 10's. or 1 12 xcon or 2 10 xcons?

damn, i actually might! 115 a sub is a good deal. what guage wire should i get 4?

yes =(, sadly i deal with this with my speakers right now. but my ideal set up right now is an saz 1000d with 2 sa 8's in a ported box.

either two sealed sa 10s or 1 ported xcon 12, IMO. thanks i was leaning towards the sa 10's . is there a big dif between the 10' s and 8's cuz if their isnt much a difference id like to get the 8's b/c they cost a lil less.

yeah i think i might get a 4 channel with the switch that goes to 3 channels until i have enough for a nice sundown amp.

alright, and do you know anyone else besides kicker that makes agood 3 channel amp?

im goin to seal the doors right away, did you use baffles for the speakers or just deaden them? im goin to start off with stock tweeters with infinty 6.5's in the door from my old car until i have enough for a pair of bravox comps or something along the lines.

i hope so, once i buy the truck i will start a build log and everyone can oogle in awh hahah. I got my lotion ready you better

thanks for the tip hopefully not everything in the colorado is a pita. do u like the bravox comps?

i hope so, once i buy the truck i will start a build log and everyone can oogle in awh hahah.

yeah theres not alot of space but a ssa dcon 10 will fit fine, im just afraid it will be all bass and no vocals since its only one pair of speakers . should i put another pair of speakers in also

is it one channel per speaker for the front stage? because it only has the one pair of door speakers. You need two channels (Left and Right) for a pair of speakers in your front stage. thanks! i really thought it was one channel per pair, i am almost dead set on one dcon 10 with a 100.4D amp. and an alpine h.u with rainbow audio components.
