252chevyboyz Posted October 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 5, 2012 I could tell a little but of a difference in the bass by ear. Just slightly louder though. Then going from playing the HU at 30max to playing it at 39max made me realize I need to update my front and rear speakers ASAP. I also need to add a amp to my mids/highs so I can regulate the power. I am running stock door speakers and tweets off the HU now. With the volume on 39 and all eq settings set to 0 (flat) I can hear distortion on the mids. Hopefully I can get that taken care of within the next month - 1997 Chevy Tahoe- Big 3 (1/0)- Dual Autocraft Batts- JVC KD-A315 HU- AQ 2200.1D- 18" AQ HDC3- Box w/ Removable Port (6ft^3 @ 36hz & 6.7ft^3 @ 42hz)- 39' 1/0 & 13' 2/0 Flex-A-Prene My Selling Feedback Build Log Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikelbolton Posted October 5, 2012 Report Share Posted October 5, 2012 Hey, no problem. I was glad to finally break it out and do a tune. Also glad to hear that it did get a little louder. Honestly, seeing that the amp gain was much lower, I was a bit worried. It's an awesome feeling knowing where you can turn to without clipping though. 2011 Chevrolet Aveo(click for build log)Clarion NX-603SKAR 4500.1DIraggi 320A alt Knukonceptz 1/0 Kollosus Fleks Cable8 AWG Sky High Car Audio OFC 1/0- Sky High Car Audio 2- XP3000 XS Power BatteriesSMD VM-12- 12" Ascendant Audio Mayhems Toolmaker Fuse block Toolmaker Bus Bars (Last Season scores 1-15" Mayhem) 145.2 dB- Sealed @ NSPL World Finals (9/28/14) 148.1 dB- Hardcore @ NSPL World Finals (9/27/14) 150.23-- Hardcore on 4500 Watts!!!!

252chevyboyz Posted October 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 5, 2012 @Mikel: The added volume on the HU really helped me out I believe. I will more than likely play around 30-32 driving in the country/highway and maybe 20ish around town. Can't have the mids/highs screaming in town. What are some reccomendations for a good set of components for the front and from the factory it came with coaxials in the rear doors but I'd like to change these out to a component set. Would it be worth it to switch out coaxial for component? I also think I am going to remove the very rear speakers completely. Thoughts? Also what are yalls thoughts on getting something like a RF 400.4 and running each crossover on its on channel? Trying to get a list together so I can start saving and knock it out one piece at a time. - 1997 Chevy Tahoe- Big 3 (1/0)- Dual Autocraft Batts- JVC KD-A315 HU- AQ 2200.1D- 18" AQ HDC3- Box w/ Removable Port (6ft^3 @ 36hz & 6.7ft^3 @ 42hz)- 39' 1/0 & 13' 2/0 Flex-A-Prene My Selling Feedback Build Log Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
252chevyboyz Posted October 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 5, 2012 List of what I need in the next 5-6 months. Alternator: Mechman 200a or 270a Head Unit: I need suggestions badly OFC Speaker Wire: looking for some good 12ga 2 sets of component speakers: I really need suggestions here 4 channel amp: looking for something between 80-120w per channel. Between 75-200 bucks on this. Reason im saying such a low price is I will considered used. Also I need opinions on whether I should run component sets in the doors or should I go with what's listed below. Each front door: (2) maybe (3) Crescendo PWX 6.5" (1) Crescendo FT1 tweet Or (1) Cadence XT-20 tweet What would I have to do about crossovers and all if I ran pro mids and super tweets? I can install with no problem even if I got to do glass work for it all. I will get some door panels off a wrecked Tahoe and start building my doors from that - 1997 Chevy Tahoe- Big 3 (1/0)- Dual Autocraft Batts- JVC KD-A315 HU- AQ 2200.1D- 18" AQ HDC3- Box w/ Removable Port (6ft^3 @ 36hz & 6.7ft^3 @ 42hz)- 39' 1/0 & 13' 2/0 Flex-A-Prene My Selling Feedback Build Log Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

252chevyboyz Posted October 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2012 I think one may end up being my mids/highs amp. I am going to just see how funds come together I reckon haha.

252chevyboyz Posted March 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2013 The hoe has no amps! I got a guy that is suppose to come buy my amp tomorrow. Can I get some suggestions on something new? I was thinking about an AQ 2.2k so eventually I could strap two together down the road. My budget is $400 MAX and I would rather keep it under $350. - 1997 Chevy Tahoe- Big 3 (1/0)- Dual Autocraft Batts- JVC KD-A315 HU- AQ 2200.1D- 18" AQ HDC3- Box w/ Removable Port (6ft^3 @ 36hz & 6.7ft^3 @ 42hz)- 39' 1/0 & 13' 2/0 Flex-A-Prene My Selling Feedback Build Log Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
252chevyboyz Posted March 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2013 How does this amp look? I would be able to get another one this summer to strap them. It is a kinda cheap amp though http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_43133_Hifonics-GLX2200.1D.html - 1997 Chevy Tahoe- Big 3 (1/0)- Dual Autocraft Batts- JVC KD-A315 HU- AQ 2200.1D- 18" AQ HDC3- Box w/ Removable Port (6ft^3 @ 36hz & 6.7ft^3 @ 42hz)- 39' 1/0 & 13' 2/0 Flex-A-Prene My Selling Feedback Build Log Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
