Your 12volt Journey

Recommended Posts

saw this over on DIYMA and thought we could start one here. this is mine starting 3 years ago:

2004:

1. Bought Sony 12" tornado cone + Sony amp + prefab bandpass box. stupid stupid me. never installed

2. Panasonic HU + Infinity Kappa Speakers 3.5 up front, 4" in rear

2. Added Infinity Kappa Perfect DVQ 12" in a sealed 1.44 box with Profile CA600M. slammed hard

3. replaced Infinity With IA LI 12" 3.0 tuned to 28hz

2005:

4. Replaced Profile With Viper 1200D + eD 9.2

5. Replaced Panasonic with Kenwood excelon kdc x789

6. Took out the infinities and added Rainbow SLC 6.5" comps

7. Replaced Viper and eD with usamps MD41 and MD22

8. Replaced IA with Soundsplinter RL-p in 2 cubes sealed later added ports

2006:

9. Replaced MD41 and MD22 with AX2000 + AXTU300C

10. Replaced Rainbows with AA Poly mid + Rainbow Cal25 ALK passive

11: Remade RL-p box to 1.6 cubes tuned to 32 hz

2007:

11. Replaced CAL25 with Seas neo metal still passive

12. Added PG TEQ15 equalizer

13. Replaced AX2000+TU300C with AX5600

WOAH looks like im getting an old new car *crosses fingers*. since new car = restart in system, this is what i will be doing:

1. Install Coustic Xm6 (YAY finally active :)

2. Maybe get a new sub but depends on trunk space

3. Get a couple of CSS WR125s's to replace the aa mids (talkin to neil about it, and sounds like it will work :))

then i think i will be satisfied with my car

I will try to remember it all:

1996:

2 MTX 12's in a wedge box (in my room before I could drive)

1997:

2 JL 15w1's powered by a bridged alpine v12

3 1/2 Boston Acustics coxials

6x9's Pioneer coxials

1998:

Added an Aria 5 1/4 component set

1999:

Ditiched the JL's for a Kicker solobaric 15 and a Rockford Fosgate 600.1 I think it was

2000:

Ditiched the Solobaric (never liked how it sounded) for the loudest sub I have owned you can laugh but us old school beaters know that the Lanzar DC 15's beat, powered by a Soundstream reference 500 (loved that amp wish I still had it)

2001:

Thought I was pretty much down with the loud car audio, so ditched the sub, just ran some fultron 6x9's and kenwood coaxials

Later in 2001 added a kenwood sub and lanzar viberant amp, that setup stayed there for the longested

2004:

Different car installed the stuff that would fit, and the kenwood sub, and since I didn't have a hatch anymore it was not ever audible in the trunk.

2005 or 2006

Decided I wanted more, so I got some JL VR 6x9's, and an Ascendant Audio 10" (sounded really nice), then I just needed the right components, so I got so a/d/s/ 345cs's and still have them running passive.

2007:

Currently still running the a/d/s's, the JL VR's, and now a tc-1000 12 (I really enjoy this sub), old school PPI 4400, on the components, and JL's, then the buyout buttkicker amp from partsexpress on the tc-1000. I've had the same deck for several years now Pioneer 740MP, it still is going strong, I would like a head unit with a 24bit dac but maybe that is the next upgrade.
