Rich859 Posted March 27, 2011 Report Share Posted March 27, 2011 (edited) Ok, so I have a 1996 Jeep Grand Cherokee. I was originally going to get a JL Audio 12w7-3 with a JL Audio 750/1 HD amp, and a custom box for $1500. I was wondering if any of you may know of a better system I could get for $1500. I want it to sound good, and hit hard. Possibly roof flex? Any ideas of what I should get and where to get it? Also what kind of box and power supplies and such I would need for the system? Let me know what you think. /e: What all would be needed wiring wise and such? Not the best at all this, just addicted to bass. Also I would prefer decent flex out of the system if possible.

SQMonte Posted March 27, 2011 Report Share Posted March 27, 2011 (edited) $1500 is alot for a single sub, box and 750 watt amp, IMO. Just for comparisons sake, my single sub (DD 2512), 1500 watt amp (SAZ-1500D) and custom box (I designed and built it), costed me a little over $500...the amp and sub were both bought from private parties but were both BNIB. You could do 2 AQ HDC18's (aluminum coils) for $340ea, an AQ2200 amp for $389 shipped and will have just under $500 left so you could buy a HO alt from Mechman and then build your box with the leftover. That will murder that JL setup you posted, guaranteed!!!

SQMonte Posted March 27, 2011 Report Share Posted March 27, 2011 You'd buy the subs and amp from audioque, alt from mechman and you'd need about 30ft of 0ga wire (that would cover amp install and big 3) rca's for the amp, a few feet of 10ga speaker wire, and about 15-18 ft of 18ga remote wire. Check out KnuKonceptz for the wiring, get the Kollosus Fleks wire if u can afford it Quote Alpine CDA-117...Memphis 16-X03 CDT Audio SQA-4100...SEAS Prestige H1396...Crescendo MP-6 Soundstream Rubicon 1.2500d...Digital Designs 3512f Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Winn Posted March 28, 2011 Report Share Posted March 28, 2011 Sounds good, I'll look into it. Also you could look into DC fi or DD and maybe AA And i would consider finding someone that knows what they are doing or chill and stay on here and figure it out and learn to do it yourself like i did and make sure to scope your system it will be 10x better knowing you wont mess it up Quote You know how you avoid that?

blownengine Posted March 28, 2011 Report Share Posted March 28, 2011 Installing everything yourself feels so much better. And you could probably do a better job than some shops.......

TeamHT Posted March 28, 2011 Report Share Posted March 28, 2011 Honestly, I would look at Four sundown audio 12s One AQ3500 Mechman alternator XS upfront, D3100 in the back. More than enough for wires, materials, damplifier (because honestly, flex will in most cases decrease output efficiency) and money left to upgrade tube front stage. Or two DC XL 15s One AQ3500 Quote Tell me...does this smell like chloroform to you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
