I was talking to a buddy who said they spent almost $100 on RCA's for their build and I think that's the most discouraging part of deciding to do a good build. Anyone can do it, it just takes time yeah i was looking at the knukonceptz eKs series (i think) and they were like $90 instead i got a 4channel krystals for $30 haha '08 Chevy Cobalt coupe 2.2 base model trunk build: 2 9512iSC flatwound alum 1.5 coils -extra 9500 spider pack -8" platinum carbon dustcaps 1 DD Z1 (.375ohm nominally daily) 3g31 AGM 320a Ohio Gen alt 1 DD S4 4 channel 4 VO-M8v1's (holes cut for 3rd pair) 2 CS 6.5's 2 VO-B1's Sony XAV-601BT all Knu Krystal RCA's Cadence 7band EQ ______________________ 148.3db @ 32hz (burp) 148.4 @ 37 & 38hz (burp) 146.xdb 90sec average (center windshield) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zapanater Posted June 9, 2012 Report Share Posted June 9, 2012 Bought my car for 800. Put another 200 into it = 1000. I've got... 200 in my subs, 400 on the amps, 200 on Wiring I figures...... 150 On my exides... Pretty even, Gonna drop 200 on paint soon, 400 on a singer alt... It's a close call. definitely more than the car when it's all said and done man. good luck with that coup.... I'm trying really hard to make something work in mine. I decided to do a 12" DC lvl 4 instead of 2 SA-12's. I don't my subs to consume the entire trunk just yet I'd do the same if I didn't have a matched pair of subs already! I feel I let the subs dictate my box and build, rather than the other way around. I envy you, Good luck! 2015 Subaru Outback. That is all, I refuse to touch it.
