Wish my first system had top quality gear like that congrats on your first system
Cheers. Well, I had a bit of money to play with, so I thought why not?
nice build and your avatar is funny as hell
Hah, thanks. I actually just found that picture on reddit in r/WTF and thought it would go perfect here.
-
What is it?
The discount? 5% off of everything.
-
Wait there is an audiosavings discount again?
Yep. I was sure they removed it a while back, then I asked in an email quote and was told there still is one. Re-appearance!
You just use it at the checkout and/or shopping cart, it's fairly obvious where to put it.
-
You know what that means don't you? Time for speakers in the dash!
Hmm, I think a pop up screen will go well to replace the passenger one
-
Well id rather have a brand new sub with a warranty than a sub without one and used. I seem to have a knack in getting scammed even after checking things out. Why do you think I still have my 95 buick skylark lol. I mean I have a 2009 impala...but at the time I needed something that was better on gas and flexfuel was a plus. Its been good to me so far except for the fact that it says service airbags soon lol
Heh, oh dear, airbags
And +1 on that first statement. New with warranty is the way to go. You never know how much something's been abused when you buy used. Especially an XXX.
-
It sounded so beasty and clean. It hit low notes so easily and it was a work of art watching that sub move. Lol. I only tested it for like ten minutes in a sealed box. And then sold it the next day without even thinking :-(
Ah bummer. Oh well, at least a 2x profit was made. Too bad they start at about $630. Oh well.
-
hey man looks good.
just wondering how much and where you got your sub from.
realizing how hard it is to get decent usa equipment in au.
Cheers man.
I posted the sub price in the post above, being $175 AUD with Audiosavings pricetag. And yeah, shipping to AUS is a pain in the bank acc.
In total, it was $480 incl SMD Discount for the enclosure, sub and wiring with about $120 shipping, from memory.
-
Ah lol yeah I got mine from a lady who just divorced her husband who was into audio..got it super cheap and like a dumbass I sold it for $500 instead of keeping it because I hold so much pride in my audiobahns.
Holy crap, I just realised - XXX? How did that beast sound? Its' mounting depth is larger than my sub in diameter!
-
How much did you pay for your sub?
about $175 AUD. and then with the 5% SMD discount after that.
edit - from Audiosavings, worth $345.
-
Looks good. Should make your own box. Will be 5,000 times better lol. /end troll. But else wise...for a first build, not bad. You may want to get duals in the future...but with re audio...cant go wrong. Got a re 12 xxx for $250. They are very beasty
Yeah. I was a little skeptical about a prefab, but for now, with a tight budget and minimal knowledge, I'm gonna stick with the easy path until next year maybe. heh.
But yeah, deal with a Skar VVX fell through (props to Kevin though for being chill with it) and RE seemed the way to go.

So, I've finally reached one of my life goals, which I'm yet to install. That is, owning my very own, quality subwoofer. None of that Supercheap Auto/best buy/kmart car audio shit. I went all out with my first ever install and don't regret a single thing.
Here she is:
2 x JL Audio C2 650 speakers. Two front and two rear 6.5" components, 2 rear and two front (like 25mm?) tweeters.
JVC KD-R626 Headunit (single-din) w/ 4x50w MOSFET channels, powering the speakers.
JL Audio XD 600/1 Monoblock
RE Audio SE-X 12" D4 600w RMS sub.
Atrend 12 LSV Ported enclosure (2 or 3 cubic feet?)
Cadence full wiring kit (8 AWG)
A good taste in music.
Stock 90a alt, stock battery.
Total approx price = $1,380
Total approx value = $1,700 Thanks Audiosavings!
I had to snap this one - it's in km too, not miles
-
Heh, thanks for posting.
So much nicer to do that than smack the right click under the trackpad.
Odd, how I always find myself going back to the trackpad nowadays even when I switch on my mouse. So much more convenient.
-
I had a quick listen the other day.
They don't seem bad, but, they are a bit bassy, and as already mentioned, overhyped and overpriced.
I picked up a pair of kicker headphones which sounded somewhat better, too.
If I were to suggest anything, Skullcandy (heard good things, and they have mean designs, but never listened myself)
I myself am a fan of the IEM. I've got a pair of Shure SE-215 In-Ear monitors and they're brilliant. $98 too incl. shipping.
-
Ah, that sucks hard man.
Hopefully next time you get the bastard who did it.
-
Email him and he'll give you details youll end up going thru paypal
Ok, thanks. Guess I was on the right path.
Might just re-send the email, as most of the time he literally takes one minute to reply.
-
I am also here guys
I'm a little confused. I can't tell whether I've placed an order or not heh. I've emailed Kevin, but do I just say "ready to order and pay asap" (which is what I've already basically said) or do I go through another site... for the 12" VVX + Free Enclosure combo? Just a little unsure here.
-
Do they reply on weekends?
From what I've seen, Kevin replies almost instantly (thumbs up to him for getting onto his emails, FAST!
).I messaged him about 24h ago (9pm-ish US time, I'm in Aus...) but no reply yet.
-
Think I may re-consider, this deal, and the combo is basically unbeatable, along with the sub for the price. Had to come back to it.
Just wondering, is there any chance you create/produce decals/bumper stickers, because I think a nice little SKAR Audio decal would look quite nice.
I've also just seen these in action, and am speechless at how low they go.
-
i'm not sure if this is in your budget but this is a fantastic deal
(soz, 2x post)
I think you just changed my mind. Thing is, I'll be needing screws and wiring, and that ain't cheap either. But damn they look like they slam.
Now contemplating either the JL or these, but... damn the Skars look badass.
-
Pretty keen on the deal, but I don't have the funds to get two shipped to Aus unless shipping is free, which I 110% doubt.
How much for one D2 in a badass ported enclosure tuned nice and low? Will be a perfect match for my XD 600/1. Throw in a wiring kit, too for a little extra?
-
Edit:
Just realised you can get 2 ohm JL W3's, my dumbass brain didn't realise why there's two of almost the same deal on audiosavings.
Between JL and Alpine id go with the SA 12
Lol what? Aren't you just clever! Fyro: JL audio has nice products and all... But they're way overpriced on everything. One of my local shops here try to buy it wholesale to sell cheaper to us but it's still expensive even then!
Yeah I get what ya mean there.
But, I'm getting that deal for $370 AUD for the sub, enclosure and wiring from audiosavings. So, I think it's a fairly good deal, and I've already got two sets of C2-650s in my car and an XD 600/1 ready to rock the boot
-
to tell you the truth, subwoofers are sometimes biased towards being a overall loud sub and being a SQ oriented sub, but a great deal of it is the enclosure and environment that determines overall SQ and loudness.
True.
Well, the enclosure is a combo thin from audiosavings. it's the A-trend vented one. That's for both deals, and it includes 14 AWG wire, 2 spade terminals, 10 drywood screws.
smh, a pre-fab won't sound amazing, but it's a start.

Had it in for a few days now and took it to Kangaroo Island on our holiday which we just got back from and it sounds beautiful.
Will get a few more pics and videos soon. All I can say is.. It hits pretty damn hard for what's meant to be 600w.
I'm still yet to break it in as I can't really bump with Mum in the car while travelling around.
But it did run a little warm after a good bashing after a petrol run one hour ago.
Anyway, first impressions - Brilliant, not sure if it's the box, probably is, but the higher Hz bass seems to be a little vaigue at times, but it gets low for what's supposed to be a 43Hz enclosure. Bumps hard, rattles the shit out of everything and does what I want perfectly even at low volumes.
