I just want to get as loud as my friends old s10 extended cab. he had 2 type r 12s and 2 jl w3v2 12s all in an extended cab truck. he got loud because of power, not boxes, they were best buy ported boxes, BUT he had them all wired on a hifonics 1200 rms amp, at .5 ohm, so it was 2400 rms total. the amp actualy handeled it fine! that was the loudest thing ive ever heard! hair tricks, no prob, hell i couldnt inhale at ALL on the low note in 'put on' had serious window flex and wicked lows. never heard anything like it! i wanna have that in my car, but i dont want to have the subs wayyyy past max power like he did.

Im thinking of adding 1 more type s in the middle of the other 2 in the back seat, on its own amp. more cone area, more spl...

Just a few of what i have done so far, i didnt take many pics. will try to get some of it in the car soon.

\ Just a few pics of the car for now

I have a 1995 Impreza GC8 coupe. Its (mostly) stock. Has a 07 sti spoiler, 07 full sti suspension, seibon carbon fiber hood, no interior (yet lol) full 10 point rollcage (like 9 now because i cut the bar for the drivers door) and a 5 point harness. For the system... Im working up.... I just got a smokin deal on 4 new alpine type s 12s (4 ohm) from a shop goin out of buisness. I paid 200 for all 4 brand new, in the shipping boxes from alpine! I went and bought a new hifonics 1700.1D amp to run them on. FOR NOW i have 2 in a store bought ported box in the trunk, and i just finished my custom dual sealed box for the other 2 for the back seat area. Looks dont matter too much for me for the build because my interior is stripped, so it looks kinda odd/bad no matter what. I have all 4 wired together in series/paralel for a 4 ohm load on each sub and a 2 ohm load on the amp. Still breaking in, so i havent maxed out to hear the outcome, but at half bass, and half volume, its giving me a little rear window flex and making my ears pop, so i have hopes! My next goal is to make a nice tuned ported box for the other 2. If that still isnt loud enough, ill throw 2 more type s in a ported box behind that on a seperate amp at 1 ohms, but this is what i have for now. Pics up later on!

ooh! just found this cool thing! I wouldnt hook up the speaker, but cool! would this fit in a single din slot and is it 12 volt? i know its for a computer, but its soo cool! heres the link computer vu unit!

Ive seen a few neat in dash, single din sized vu meter units. Does anyone have them? What can people tell me about them? Id kind of like to get one. Heres a link to one on ebay. My link what are people thoughts? thanks!
