'01 Stratus 12" Type R - My first system


Recommended Posts

This is my first system I owned. I had this system for about two years now. I knew very little about car audio at the time. I used yahoo answers for all my knowledge (lol right?) until I found out about this forum. At first I just wanted a little bump. Well then I became addicted. I originally had a prefab sealed box, but then I learned about ported. I had no clue how to design/build a box so I just bought prefab again. But I made sure that it was a decent prefab. It never really sounded horrible to me and is actually pretty loud (to me) so I just have never got the urge to build a new box. Anyways onto the pictures :D

HU: Dual XDMA6415

Amp: Rockford Fosgate Prime R500.1

Sub: 12" Alpine Type R (SWR-1243D)

Box: Sound Ordnance BB12-200v (1.8cu ft @ 32hz)

Speakers: Sony Xplod by9's - anything is better than stock :)

This is the box that I got, I recently put all its dimensions into torres and it actually isn't a terrible prefab. The port area per cube is bad though.

The amplifier is actually this color. Up close it resembles wood grain almost. Over the last year the sun has faded the black I believe.

I like still having the stock look, keeps the thieves away. That's why with my next build I am going to try and keep the 6.5 and tweet behind the grill.

My stock speakers were junk, so I replaced them with some xplods. Anything is better than stock ;) generally. These things are actually rather nice sounding.

Head unit Dual XDMA6415 - I like this head unit a lot, it's good for the price. But I would have gotten something different if I knew more at the time.

Looks like you did a clean install. Type Rs are not bad subs, maybe add a second one later on in a well designed box. Friend had 4 Type R 12s in a Celica on an AQ 2200D doing hairtricks, no wall.

wired it with 4 AWG? What kind of terminals did you use on your wire so it goes into the amp like that. I don't want to just stuff the wires in the amp.

Yeah it's close to 4 gauge. A little bit smaller, but not much. The terminal came with a wiring kit, and is called a spade terminal. I would assume that these terminals would work: http://www.sonicelec...by-Scosche.html

edit: spelling
