BassDragon Posted June 5, 2013 Report Share Posted June 5, 2013 So I finally got the engine finished in my '93 tercel, and I'm ready to put a setup in there (Preferably the trunk). But I only have a budget of about $300. Although I could sell a couple things i.e. Kindle Fire, leftover subs and amp, etc. and make a little more cash. I've looked at getting two 8" Sundown subs (http://www.woofersetc.com/p-11186-e8v3d2-sundown-audio-8-dvc-2-ohm-subwoofer.aspx) with a RF Prime R500-1 amp.(http://www.woofersetc.com/p-11186-e8v3d2-sundown-audio-8-dvc-2-ohm-subwoofer.aspx). I will build the box myself and probably end up having it facing the back of the seats. Not sure if there is anything else I could say about it. But I want to know if this would be a good beginner setup. 1993 Toyota Tercel Two DC Audio Lvl 2 12'sDC 1.2k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hellbilly429 Posted June 5, 2013 Report Share Posted June 5, 2013 And make sure you use some good 4 gauge wire minimal for that amp, and a good battery as that tercel only has a 70 amp alternator 2018 Honda Civic Sport Hatchback (build in progress) NVX Sound Deadener (Front Doors) Stinger FAST Rings Stock Electrical SSA Evil 6.5's Front Speakers Stock rear speakers MB Quart ONX4.80 speaker amp Rockford Fosgate T-1500bdcp DC Level 4 12" D1 @ 2-ohm Box In Design Stage Stock RadioMy Build Log Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BassDragon Posted June 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2013 I don't have the biggest trunk. With the 8"s I can pick up two of them, or I can get one 12 (Or 10, I don't remember) for the same price. And I live in Sweet Home, a little backroads town two hours from Portland. 1993 Toyota Tercel Two DC Audio Lvl 2 12'sDC 1.2k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hellbilly429 Posted June 5, 2013 Report Share Posted June 5, 2013 The 10's aren't much more expensive and would give you more cone area and better low end response than the 8's would. as long as you got room in your trunk for a 13" tall box you will be fine, plus these don't need a huge box. Plan on building a ported or sealed enclosure for whatever you choose? 2018 Honda Civic Sport Hatchback (build in progress) NVX Sound Deadener (Front Doors) Stinger FAST Rings Stock Electrical SSA Evil 6.5's Front Speakers Stock rear speakers MB Quart ONX4.80 speaker amp Rockford Fosgate T-1500bdcp DC Level 4 12" D1 @ 2-ohm Box In Design Stage Stock RadioMy Build Log Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassDragon Posted June 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2013 I haven't decided on whether to do sealed or ported, but in the end I might end up doing a ported box. 1993 Toyota Tercel Two DC Audio Lvl 2 12'sDC 1.2k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plan on building a ported or sealed enclosure for whatever you choose? Lucky for me my max height is 14". And I guess I should probably go with the 10's. And the amp is still good right? 1993 Toyota Tercel Two DC Audio Lvl 2 12'sDC 1.2k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
