Grelko Posted July 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2011 lol, was actually looking into SPL in forums a sec ago. ya, im definately going to put alot of thought into the speakers b4 i actually get any, theres way too many choices out there, prolly look into everything i can for a week then make decisions on ATLEAST the mid/highs. was thinking that i could always just go with 2x 18s and 4x 15s for huge airflow, but i listen to metal a good bit also, and i heard speakers that size are bad for it because of the reflex time and i wouldnt get a decent sound quality from the quick drums. lol, but i have enough room for about 28x 8s in there Quote Optimus XL-400w amp 2x 10s IMPP 400w 2x something or other in dash 2x 35w radioshack 8" full-range AcDelco factory radio "frankenstein'd from my dead buick" Dodge seats 1984 Chevy G30 full size 1-ton van "Rust Monster" Progress - around 15% primer/patching Sold the van in 2014, had it about 75% done, never did get the system in it.

will77530 Posted July 15, 2011 Report Share Posted July 15, 2011 look at the rockford fosgate van dont use 7/16 plywood and actually read reviews on subs there are a lot of brands out there but not a lot of good ones. its better to save up and get good quality than to waste your money on some cheap shit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grelko Posted July 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2011 talking about "dont mix and match sub sizes" i can always extend the outer walls and put the mid/highs there instead no prob and keep the foldback walls only for subs, lets say 12x 12s plenty of room for ports then, budget is around 3-4k, hoping for a whole setup. basically made to be FOR tricks, but if im not at shows etc, i want to be able to go full power and listen to the songs "gonna need alot of mid/highs also i figure" didnt really want to use 18s, and 15s probably wont sound good with morbid angel, meshuggah etc. main reason i have the 10s in there atm, but those seem to work good for metal, classic rock, rap, DnB. could use a crap ton of 10s "like 40" but i dont know if get much airflow even if the amps are tuned down in the 30-40s setup is definately going to be fully switch operated in the dashboard, seperate rows of subs, mids, highs, able to turn 2 speakers on at a time Quote Optimus XL-400w amp 2x 10s IMPP 400w 2x something or other in dash 2x 35w radioshack 8" full-range AcDelco factory radio "frankenstein'd from my dead buick" Dodge seats 1984 Chevy G30 full size 1-ton van "Rust Monster" Progress - around 15% primer/patching Sold the van in 2014, had it about 75% done, never did get the system in it.

Grelko Posted July 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2011 i think your right, its going to take me atleast a good month to read all i can about SPL just in the forums on here, then look around for "actually good" amps, speakers etc, and get custom boxes made instead of plywood, by that time i might even be able to "hopefully" double my budget Quote Optimus XL-400w amp 2x 10s IMPP 400w 2x something or other in dash 2x 35w radioshack 8" full-range AcDelco factory radio "frankenstein'd from my dead buick" Dodge seats 1984 Chevy G30 full size 1-ton van "Rust Monster" Progress - around 15% primer/patching Sold the van in 2014, had it about 75% done, never did get the system in it.

Winn Posted July 16, 2011 Report Share Posted July 16, 2011 How's it going, first post. I got a full size van, gonna be putting a HUGE wall into it, split down the middle, both sides on hinges. If possible with the money I have, was going to go with... 6x boss phantom 12s "2400W", 2x SPL 15s "2800w", 4x boss 6x9 "400w", 8x soundstorm 3-way "250w" Powered by, 3x Crunch GP3000d-pros, Lanzar for midrange "not sure on watts yet" and my old optimus 400w" for the rest of the midranges. 4x? Optima yellowtop 400 amp, pioneer headunit, about a half mile of 1/0 wire lol. Bad news is, no room at all for any ports....... enough power, not enough, too much??? and Any chance on hairtricks? first big system, in there right now is just the optimus 400w and 2x 10in mtx from back in 1996. tearing out the old walls and rebuilding the entire insides for the wall, hoping to get some pics up eventually if all goes well " and i can get my cam to work" I laughed, cried and spit a drink...
