Posted January 28, 200520 yr I kno this is a real subjective thing but Im just trying to get ideas..When I sell my truck Ill be getting a 99 maxima and ill have about 1000 left over and that all goes to the system. Im down to 3 sub choices:-2 Rl-p 15s sealed w/700/800 watts to each-1 Rl-p 15 ported w/700/800 watts-1 Mag 15 ported w/around 1200 watts (assuming I can get one when Im ready to put my system together)Everything else is up to you guys; deck, comps, 6x9s, sub amp, ectSo what would you do in my shoes?ThanksTom
January 28, 200520 yr personally, I'd run the Mag or Rl-p 15" ported. Though, I've yet to hear either... IMO, one 15" in the trunk would do very nicely. I've been around a few nice installs in those bodies.Far as a deck? I'd almost try to keep the stocker... it's fairly nice IMO. I'd add a dash eq though.Comp's? Orion & Kicker are not bad at all. I'm running mid-level CDT's now in the trailblazer and I'm getting sick of them. Maybe try out the RE lineup. Skip on the 6x9's and stick a couple of decent midbass woofers in the deck. Seal them with a small baffle (.5-.7ft^3 usually)... again, IMO.Amps? Whichever. Anything that puts out the power you need at the voltage you have. Leave all filtering off and focus on the EQ & crossover. This'll keep it cheaper for you as well.-Nick
January 28, 200520 yr Admin the sub choice is tough because those are both TC-9s and they are both excellent subsso if you want I have a set of Orion p6.2s for sale cheap (new in box), that could do for the comps,talk to Randy and maybe he can set you up with a Power Bass PB 150.2 ratted at 800x1@ 4 mono (12.5volts), that would be a nice sub ampand if you wanted to run more PB the PB-B693Xv.2 can take 125 rms, that would be an option for the 6x9sand well the deck is where you want to splurge on, I am an Eclipse guy so maybe look into one of those,
January 28, 200520 yr oh yea, decks. If you're going aftermarket, I'd suggest Eclipse, or high end Pioneer (premiers).
January 28, 200520 yr Ultimate space saver would be the1 Rl-p vented. They take a smaller enclosure than the Magnum. Magnum 15 would need at least 4 cubes. I think Mike recommends 2.5 for the Rl-p15. You won't need near that power on the Magnum either. That same 7-800 watts you'll put on the SS with work beautifully with the Magnum as well.
January 28, 200520 yr Author so either way, that powerbass amp that denim mentioned would work in my situation right? because I can go ahead and order that and pay myself back later (i have money in the bank im trying not to touch right now)ThanksTom
January 29, 200520 yr and what kind of hook up would that be? (pm if you need to)<{POST_SNAPBACK}>My friend S/N is Tplaya07( caraudio.com)Email is [email protected] or [email protected]Ask him about CDT,DLS and OZ Audio speakers. Dont forget to telll him i sent you
January 29, 200520 yr comps, i would get the sale RE has going for either the re comps for 129 or the xxx comps for 179, ithink it only last until feb 18 though..For an amp, i mean i dont see y more people dont get this, but the power acoustik 3000db from etronics is only 299$ for 2000 watts, i mean if you get that you can upgrade to wateer you want later.as for a deck i would go on ebay and find one of the old pioneer decks, they where the best ones i've owned. unless you wanna be more up to date, wt pictures and stuff int he hu
January 29, 200520 yr The RE Comps at $129 are a good deal. I would probably get a used deck for the simple fact that you can get some really nice ones for GREAT prices. Sounds like you're set on the Sub Amp
January 30, 200520 yr Wait, i thought RE only had a sale for the RE comps. The XXX's are for mids only right?
