MikeT210Tx Posted September 21, 2011 Author Report Posted September 21, 2011 Oh, so I'm better off doing what I was think of doing then I guess. Which was just to spend a little extra money on either Kenwoods or Rockfords. Quote
Reg_Cab_Slammer Posted September 26, 2011 Report Posted September 26, 2011 id go alpine or pioneer, pioneer isnt pricey and has pretty good sq Quote 2001 Dodge Ram Kenwood Deck Pioneer speakers
buickman Posted September 26, 2011 Report Posted September 26, 2011 the 2 12" comps was my fist system and they are a great entry level sub, but i do regret not getting an alpine type-r. rockfords are good and ive never heard pioneer or kenwood. but if ytou want to skip the BS, buy a dc. they slam Quote 2001 buick park avenue temporary setup: 2 12" type x's AQ2200 NEW BUILD SOON DC/AQ

Sergeant_Skyrim Posted September 26, 2011 Report Posted September 26, 2011 Hey Mike, I actually bought 2 Kicker Comp 12s about a week ago for the same price and I plan on using them for my first personal build as well. I just learned how to use Torres' Box Tuning Calculator this past weekend and I've already started drawing up a sketch and some planned dimensions for a ported box (trying to get it tuned to 34 Hz or so atm) so I could let you know how it goes if you want me to. But I'd say that if you're just starting out DIY like I am then it'd be better to start off with something not so expensive. Once you learn how to pull all the different elements together, then I agree with what the other guy said about getting something like DC that'll be a worthwhile investment. Quote Build in progress
MikeT210Tx Posted September 26, 2011 Author Report Posted September 26, 2011 Ya I'm still thinking about it. Kind of leaning more towards it. Quote
Sergeant_Skyrim Posted September 26, 2011 Report Posted September 26, 2011 Yeah, I mean I already had a 600W amp to start with from my last box (it all came together-box/2 12s/amp) so I figured this would be a good practice for teaching myself how to do ported boxes. And it's still gonna produce some boom, just no earthquakes yet Quote Build in progress
bassrace Posted September 26, 2011 Report Posted September 26, 2011 I mean bro why not spend a few more bucks and atleast get some cvr's online you can find them cheap. You're paying 100$ for two comps and that's what they cost new..... I'm not hatin on you bro but I'd rather see you atleast get a good deal.... I would go another route then pay 100$ for those, check out a pawnshop or something if ya want to stay in the 100$ range. You might find some cvr's, type r's or p3's for your price point, I bet you'd be alot happier with those then the comps or atleast talk him down quite a bit on the comps, are they new?
