G-Rad Posted August 20, 2011 Report Posted August 20, 2011 I am looking to upgrade my subwoofer to a better quality. Right now, it's a Q-Power. My situation is that I'm limited. I'm on a fixed income, and I am looking to do some installs for people in the area, but I need something to display. Let me go ahead and give you a rundown of my situation. I'm legally blind, therefore I cannot work in the jobforce. I'm TRYING to get some side work in as a car audio installer/troubleshooter (Studying up heavily and such)/ oF course I have assistance if needed, but I'm, now, the brains of the operations. As of this post, I have 3 installs under my belt. My budget to pay all my bills and everything is less than 600/month. I just got a little extra in September so that's why I want to get a good sub to replace my current one, even if it's another 12, or possibly a 15. The vehicle is a 1998 Mercury Mountaineer SUV (it belongs to the family). Basically what I'm trying to do is get something that can bang and use my vehicle as a "display of my work" if this makes any sense. My current setup is: Sony Xplod CDX-F5710 deck (was in the car) Sony Xplod XM-5022 250w amp (was in the car, but wired wrong until I got to it) Q-Power 12" Silver Series "700Watt Max/4-Ohm" (about 300 RMS) sub. homemade box. I know the speakers in the doors are not stock, but can't remember the brand. here's a video: I have to upgrade one thing at a time, and that's why I want to drop into the sub. then I'll get a stronger amp, and go from there. But, I am trying to start off moreso with a better display. Update: Aug 23, 2011: Decided I will go with AA Arsenals, unless something better comes up..

sweendog Posted August 20, 2011 Report Posted August 20, 2011 fi ssd 12inch if your buying new, used Im sure you could find a q 12 or maybe a bigger ssd.
G-Rad Posted August 20, 2011 Author Report Posted August 20, 2011 I was thinking Kicker, but I figured there's gota be something better. I'm liking the idea of the AA and FI. I just need to find a site that sells where I can pricematch. I'm assuming I'm just missing a few buttons somewhere, haha. Thanks guys. I appreciate the suggestions. It won't be til September before I can get anything. That's why I'm doing homework now. That way I don't rush anything and wind up with something subpar. I don't wanna go Q-Power. They're not bad, I guess, but just. *shrugs*..
