CanNotT0uchThis Posted April 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2011 With that head unit, you can hold off on buying an amp for mids/highs since it's got a high pass filter built in. It won't get you far with only 22watts a channel (HUs are usually overrated anyway) but it's a start. What did you have in mind for mids and highs? Yeah you got it, I found all the stuff on crutchfield's website. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanNotT0uchThis Posted April 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2011 (edited) Austin, I would suggest messaging Dwright27 about pricing for a DC Lv4. To run it, I would get a AQ1200 amplifier. I would use the KnuKonceptz 4gauge install kit. It will have everything you need except speaker wire, which you can also find on knukonceptz.com You can find some 3/4" MDF at Lowes, and build your own custom ported box. I would suggest using Torres box calculator to figure out everything you should need to know about building the box. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask Alright thanks so much for your help. But still a few more questions. Ok so we got the Amp, Got the Sub, the box, and Got the 4Gauge Install kit. I followed your link to the website and found the speaker wire, Does it matter what kinda I get because there is like 4 different kinds?, Was it in my budget to get 1 DC LV4 sub or 2. Also is the head Unit I picked out good? oh and I thought of 1 more What size of sub Should I get Edited April 11, 2011 by CanNotT0uchThis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supercharged DCs Posted April 11, 2011 Report Share Posted April 11, 2011 (edited) I would suggest using 12 gauge OFC speaker wire to run from your subwoofer to your amplifier. I'm not sure on prices of DC equipment, message Dwright27 for a price quote on a DC Lv4 12. His profile can be found here. That headunit seems fine to me man And as to what size you should get, it all depends on the amount of space available and if you can afford it. A 15 has about 150% the cone area of a 12, and will move more air because of that. A 18 has about 150% the cone area of a 15, and 225% the cone area of a 12.

Supercharged DCs Posted April 11, 2011 Report Share Posted April 11, 2011 Yes mate, that's the right 3/4 MDF. If you include shipping, the total will probably come out to around $800. If this is too much for you I can work on trying to find you a better setup that fits your budget Quote Bassless once again.

CanNotT0uchThis Posted April 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2011 Yeah $800 is a little out of my budget, but I understand that you need to spend money to get a good system. So I think I'll just stick with what you pick out so far. Also the DC Level 4 12" Subwoofer should be pretty loud right? Thanks, Austin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supercharged DCs Posted April 11, 2011 Report Share Posted April 11, 2011 You'll love it man, it will probably be more bass than you know what to do with, and it will be MUCH better than the Kenwood system you wanted to start with Quote Bassless once again.
