disprovable Posted October 31, 2012 Report Share Posted October 31, 2012 Well, I am looking into installing a system into my car. I am new to all of this, and i've asked for help a little already. I was wondering if this would be a good combination, or any suggestions. I'm not looking to go all out or anything, just decent bass, mids, and highs for a daily driver. Would these subwoofers be good? 2 of them. http://www.nvx.com/subwoofers/vcw124.html to power 2 of those would this do fine? http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_23550_Hifonics-Brutus-BRZ2400.1D.html#tabs For the mids - http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_22595_Rockford-Fosgate-T2652-S.html to power the mids - http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_34964_SoundStorm-EV2.1000.html and i have no idea about the tweets. Open to all suggestions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omega5002 Posted October 31, 2012 Report Share Posted October 31, 2012 Sub actually looks decent, Hifonics amp is very good for the price but power hungry, the RF Components are extremely good, but that mid's and high's amp is a piece of junk. 2003 Kia Sorento Team Subsonic LowsTeam Bassin' on a Budget2016 Rebuild Under Construction Best score: 150.2 at 40hz (3k, 2 Custom HDC3 15's) Usaci style(door open, in the kick) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
disprovable Posted October 31, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2012 I know it's not the best amp for Mids and highs but i would prefer not to spend a ridiculous amount on a 2 channel amp to power them :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BASEheadDAN Posted October 31, 2012 Report Share Posted October 31, 2012 The sub brand i have heard the least about, but that magnet structure along with the power out put seems overly-decent. The only thing i do not like about that sub woofer is that it states 850-1000 rms like the company was throwing darts at numbers on the wall and they happened to fall between 850 and 1000 most of the time. Sub woofers that split their peak with their rms in halfs are the way to go, for ex, 2000 watts max, 1000 watts rms.... As for the Hifonics... Oh boy, i have the Hifonics 1000.1D... and yes.. very power hungry. Watch for distortion from this brand... NEVER EVER EVER turn the bass eq up, let alone plug in the bass knob... You will blow your system in a heart beat. I blew my 2008 Kicker 12" l7 that was a 4 ohm sub woofer wired to 2 ohms and only getting around 600 watts rms, when it could withstand 750 just fine, but the amplifier was sending so much distorted signal into the sub woofer because i had my bass eq up, and bass knob turned to half. A little heads up about Hifonics brand from experience. I don't know anything about mids or tweets because all i need in my ride is constant slamming into the back of my face, it calms me down. Who needs to hear the music? But, i would go with rockford. I hope this helped in a some what sense in the first part, im not trying to troll you, just giving you some info. - Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the hifonics amps the bass knob contols the gain... If the gain on the amp is at 1/2 than the knob maxed out is still only 1/2. It only adjusts the gain down...so if your gain was right from the beginning the bass knob makes no difference. And just because a subs rated RMS is half of its MAX doesnt mean shit....alot of companies say 250w rms 1000 max etc. Alot of real Quality companies give you an RMS and thats it...MAX is bullshit rating. Sundown SA-12 RMS is 600...max not liste don sundown site.

Chris Hammer Posted October 31, 2012 Report Share Posted October 31, 2012 Also if those NVX subs are really 240+$( Im not looking for the cheapest deal just what was on ebay. ) I would look at some other companies before jumping on them. FI SSD 12's are 204$ before otions 1000wrms Sound solution GCON 12's are under 200$ Look at DC level 3's too..similar power rating DO you have electrical to back the amps up??

IBleedMusick Posted October 31, 2012 Report Share Posted October 31, 2012 What is your budget like for an entire system? If I were you I would get a number in my head and buy used quality gear most of which can be had at the prices you're paying for new mediocre equipment. 2013 Dodge Charger Build Log 1996 Ford Explorer XLT 5.0Build Log 2005 Honda Civic LX Coupe Build Log SMD SUPER SELLER!!!!My Selling Feedback Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
