RyanBlanchard Posted April 11, 2011 Report Share Posted April 11, 2011 Looking to upgrade my current system, its not really cutting it and i don't really know a whole lot about car audio i currently but i figured someone over here should be able to point me in the right direction hopefully currently i have 2x 12' Power Acoustik MoFo's and a Power Acoustik 4000/1D STAX amp. this system was recommended to me by a friend but it just don't seem to hit like i want it to. ive been told by alot of people to upgrade to w7's and go with a JL amp, but i figured i would swing over here and drop a post before before i made any purchases to see if maybe i could get a better set up. Thank, ryan the car is a 2011 ford fusion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RyanBlanchard Posted April 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2011 (edited) i would like to spend no more than 1500 but i want something better than what i have * i was so tempted to go with JL because if heard the name before and people say there a good sub but there has to be something as good or better for that price Edited April 11, 2011 by RyanBlanchard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
audio1der Posted April 11, 2011 Report Share Posted April 11, 2011 You're wise to ask before you spend. there are a LOT of great manufacturers out there who are not mainstream but make GREAT stuff. DC, T3 or AQ subs, AQ amps etc. I was surprised (and pissed that I bought just before I found out about them) how afforadable they are, and are really designed by enthussiats, for enthusiasts. Not just big box copanies pushing crap because it's easily found at lots of local stores. I was ready to fork out $800 for a 500w (4ohm rms)mono amp when an AQ1200d is $249!? (on order) I bought an RF P3 12" from Crutchfield for $180 when a DC level 4 (easily twice the sub by anyone's opinion) is only a few bucks more. Good luck!

notorious97200 Posted April 11, 2011 Report Share Posted April 11, 2011 Can you sell your subs ? If you think it will not be easy, just start to focus on the box. what kind of box do you have ? A good one can make your bass sound goooood ! Quote black BMW X1 2.0 l 192 hp OEM head unit, Amplifiers : Audison AP 8.9 amp with integrated DSP and Ampere Audio 1200. Focal ES 100 K in front doors, and Dayton RS 180 for midbass under the front seats. 2 SSA DEMONS 10" subs, in a 2.6 ft3 ported box. SecondSkin Damplifier on front doors, and Luxury Liner Pro for the cargo area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supercharged DCs Posted April 11, 2011 Report Share Posted April 11, 2011 For $1500 I would go with: (2) AQ HDC312 <-- Sub (1) AQ 2200 <-- Amp (1) 0gauge amp install kit from Knukonceptz.com <-- Amp wiring (1) XS D3400 under the hood and XS D3100 in the back <-- Batteries Big 3 in 0gauge If I missed anything tell me...

RyanBlanchard Posted April 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2011 That set up right there will hit harder that what i have now ?, any place i could get a box or would i be better off trying to find someone to make one ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
