what to get

Recommended Posts

i'm in iraq and have quite a nice lump sum of money saved up. i just bought a jeep for a system cuz ive messed around with car audio for a few years now. im throwing around a few options, out of all these what would hit the hardest. this system will be proffesionally installed and i think im gonna buy a hifonics 10,000 watt rms amp. unless i go jl....id probably have to go with the 1000/1's.

2 solo x kicker 18's

4 Fi btl 18's

2 jl audio 13' w'7's

well jl audio is obvioulsy higher quality and price, therefore you wouldnt use as much watts, not to mention the warranty stops at 2000 watt rms per sub but the solo x is 5000 watt rms per sub, i am looking to spend around maybe 5 grand and its a older jeep 1995 cherokee and i have as much room as is in it, lol

kicker solox's blow ta hell on 5000 watts.. lol jl is too expensive. i think the btl's would be your choice, but for 4 of them it will be a hard fit unless u take down your seats. and keep in mind all of the electrical upgrades and power you need to run 4 of them, atleast 2000rms a sub

id say:

2 btl 18's: $1000

2 sundown 3000d's: $1798

1/0 wiring + terminals etc.(including big3): 370 at the most.. http://www.knukonceptz.com/

box materials: 70

highoutput alt: 400 at the most

and idk if you have a head unit or not.

you need to measure and see first before you go with the 3 btl 18's thing. it will take ALOT and i mean ALOT of space for even 2 18's
