Massey Barbour Posted May 20, 2013 Report Share Posted May 20, 2013 hey jw guys i am a noob in the world of bass and i have 2 kicker comp 12's i want an upgrade but for spl and sq but i dont think i wank kickers and cant afford high end like fi and stuff my system will probably sell for 375 to some imbred idiot seeing that i live in alabama well so i have that and a summer job so a decent amount of money for a noob to spend on just subs and an amp say around $1000 give me any advice and ill look into it thanks also consider that im not into competions so just looking for a louder and better non kicker upgrade without batteries or alts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobertR Posted May 21, 2013 Report Share Posted May 21, 2013 How much space are you willing to give up? What amp do you currently have? $1000 will get you a decent set up if your only buying subs, amp. I would suggest looking into good wiring also. (knu koncepts, sky high wiring, or something similar.) What kind of vehicle do you drive? Do you want to run sealed or ported? I really hate to suggest any brand over another since at your price range there are so many to choose from. Just make sure you factor in the cost of a new box, rca's, and wiring. Way to many variables to choose from. Maybe you can help narrow it down a bit.

Lifted2000Ford4x4 Posted May 21, 2013 Report Share Posted May 21, 2013 you need 20 21in IA subs and 10 DC 10ks lol. but no. 1000 is a good budget, but don't cheap out on anything, running more power.. over 1200 watts will stress the electrical system so add another battery or a HO alt or a simple big 3 if your alt puts out decent amperage. don't buy cheap, look at sundown audio SA series... good subs for the price. and buy a quality amp... no boss or pyle, pyramid, lanzar BS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HypnotizedMind 91666 Posted May 21, 2013 Report Share Posted May 21, 2013 If you don't want to upgrade your electrical you might as well stick below 500wHave somebody make you a T-Line enclosure in a million, trillion, kabillion years,i would never play that song in my ride. I don't care if its clipped or not LOL. I feel like my nads got clipped after playing this for 15 seconds just to see what it was LOL. No thanks bro. Not into it.

RobertR Posted May 21, 2013 Report Share Posted May 21, 2013 " just looking for a louder and better non kicker upgrade without batteries or alts " Lifted is right about the sundown sa series. For the money they are very good (and very forgiving) sub woofers. I run pair of sa-12's on a m1c and only have around $550 in the box, amp, subs, and knu wire. Im in the mid 140's out of a trunk. I just didnt want to suggest any one brand and turn this into a vs thread.

RobertR Posted May 21, 2013 Report Share Posted May 21, 2013 If you don't want to upgrade your electrical you might as well stick below 500w Have somebody make you a T-Line enclosure Why stay below 500 watts? T line enclosures are usually huge and are probably not a good idea for somebody that openly admits to being a car audio noob. Not all subs work well with t line so it limits his choices. And its usually a long drawn out process of trial and error to get the right set up with the right sub and it varies greatly from vehicle to vehicle.
