Purplehaze Posted September 17, 2011 Report Share Posted September 17, 2011 (edited) Okay guys, I am planning my next build for my PT, and I need opinions. I am thinking about trying 4 18's, non-walled, no back seat. Since I'm still a rookie w/ the "bigger setups", I was kinda thinking about doing a box similar to Steve's, subs up port back, except since my car is smaller it w/ become a two seater. And the equipment I am leaning towards is DC. I was thinking 4 - level4 18's on a 5K for starters, with a 270a mechman alt, MLA VBM, and four XS D3100's, with two Kinetik HC1400's up front. Later I could still add a second alt, more batts, and a second DC 5K. So my question is, does this sound like a good idea for me and my car? I am looking for a daily 150+ that sounds good on music and does a good ass hair-trick w ease. So is this gonna be a good idea? Would 15's be better considering my space? And wall/no wall??? I am open to all serious suggestions.

Purplehaze Posted September 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2011 Oh and in case you aren't familiar with my car, it's a 2002 PT Cruiser. Dimensions I have are roughly 41"W X 47"L X 27"H(up to the window line). That is with plastic in, could be more room made if needed. Here are some pics of it empty Quote Kickin' Cruiser Seller Feedback Stage 3 Dash, Door Panels,4th Order wall 4 - 15'son a DC 5.0K 2 DC 5.0K'sSolo X 15 (v.2) Sub Build Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, only reason for the use of the Kinetik's is that I already own them. Just thought they'd be good enough together for up front? But yeah guess I should sell them and put and XS up front too. So you think three w/ be enough?

Purplehaze Posted September 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2011 Wow, damn, I was really wanting to get some opinions. Usually they aren't very hard to get, until you want them I guess???
