spending $10,000 on a system


Recommended Posts

So after all the suggestions what are you leaning towards sub and amp wise and type of enclosure

possibly a 4 sub setup, most likely 15s so that way i have room for port. but i cant say anything till i do some measurements.

audiosavings has kinetik 2400s for 300 shipped, or really close to that, and they work, but just are not the best... but far from the worst..

I would get 2 alts, get a stetsom 7k2d or 2 and call it a day, but thats because im biased on them amps, because i ran it at .1 for awhile and when i did testing i had a rise to .5 and it ran like a champ. I also beat hte living piss out of it and it wouldnt die..

Im also biased towards DC subs, BUT FI/AA will take care of you as well, I had 3 18" Lvl 5s in a b pillar wall doing 55s on music at the headrest, it has alot to do with the box. you could prob get 1 7k on 4 XL 15s and get mid 50s.

but electrical is a must.. i hate sitting at 9-10v when playing full tilt.

and, you really need to get pricing for all the equipment... i spent 5k total on everything, and i mean everything including labor...

LOL you shouldnt be anywhere near 10k if you go by real pricing

yea retail i aint started calling to see about better prices yet but thatas at retail amps and subs and cdt mids and highs from woofersetc.com and wiring and stuff from darvex.com and bats and alt from mechman all box stuff wood glue fiberglass from lowes and 80 sq. feet of Damplifier from secondskinaudio.com

well your kinda crazy if you go that route..

well man after you add up all the misc. stuff it gets high like two or more runs of 1/0 and everything it adds up quick

yep its the 1 ohm amp, but, starting at 1.4 rising to 2 ohms even, i get 6000 clamped at 10v :)

edit

wired it to .175, fluke read 000.1 ohm lol and rose to .5 and still clamped 6000 out of it, so i wired it back

i have like the only one that can handle all the abuse i have ever put to it, all the 14ks and bigger would die on the shit ive done to it, but no one that knows me can say anything negative about the 7K2D

if you get any stetsom amp, get the KD, the KE series is supposed to have some issues

how come you think the bigger ones would die out faster? so you think the 7ks are the best choice?

because i know a few people who im on their team with, who have had a total of like 16 14ks while they were using stetsom, and they would just randomly blow...

and they were clamping the same power im getting out of my amp, out of theirs at 18v lol
