SloFiddy Posted June 8, 2011 Report Share Posted June 8, 2011 So I've lurked for far too long and today broke down and made a SMD account... I've got decent knowledge of car audio, or I'd like to think I do anyways. Have always had the dream of making a 'beat down your block' system. I've had the normal 2x10" type r's, some old 15" MA audio pieces of junk and an even older audiobahn 12". Built a couple boxes which have turned out alright. Recently I've decided to go big. I'm a little confined on space. (Drive a 1999 extended cab f150) But I've measured it all out and if i take out the back seats im working with about 16ft^3. Now, my question is, what do i run? Been looking at some AA havoc 18" and some fi bl 18"s. Not really rolling in money like it seems some of you are but I've saved enough here or there and i think i can finally start piecing together something nice! What would you guys recommend? Also, Working on profile and pic. Will come soon. Glad to be on board! -Travis Quote 1999 4.6L F-150 Slower than S-L-O-W pioneer mids HFI100.4(mids) 18" DC lvl 4 Kicker zx1000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supercharged DCs Posted June 8, 2011 Report Share Posted June 8, 2011 Welcome to the board man, glad you made an account. What kind of power do you plan to put on the subwoofers? That will help in choosing a pair Quote Bassless once again. Can't seem to keep a system for more than a few weeks Saving for a '06 Nissan 350z, look for build around June 2012.

If im not mistaken I've seen people run 2-3k rms on stock 130amp alts. With big 3 + extra batt(s). But again, Like my original post stated, I've got some knowledge to gain. But some where in there.

CJ18 Posted June 8, 2011 Report Share Posted June 8, 2011 Are you going to build a wall or stay below the window line? I would consider 4 12s and stay below the window line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skullz Posted June 8, 2011 Report Share Posted June 8, 2011 Pair of AA 15" Havocs on a Crescendo BC3500 would be a hella nice start and should hopefully leave some coin for an upgraded electrical system to support it.

Supercharged DCs Posted June 8, 2011 Report Share Posted June 8, 2011 4 DC Lv3 12s on a DC3.5k would be loud. Quote Bassless once again.

SloFiddy Posted June 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2011 What kind of a budget do you have to work with? Yeah I'm pretty set on 18". I want that deep bass I've got about $2k saved up. But I've wanted this for a while so i could possible tap a liiiiittle into the savings Quote 1999 4.6L F-150 Slower than S-L-O-W pioneer mids HFI100.4(mids) 18" DC lvl 4 Kicker zx1000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supercharged DCs Posted June 8, 2011 Report Share Posted June 8, 2011 I'd recommend two DC Lv 4 18s on a DC 3.5k in that case. Quote Bassless once again.
