Recommended Posts

(First Post :P)

Currently I have a complete Walmart system...

Built box
2 - Sony Xplod 12's
Sony Xplod 1000w Amp (trust me doesn't push that)

Sony Xplod Head unit (Keeping this I like it)

I am about to spend about $700 to upgrade it all. Not competition stuff I just wanna bump hard in my small town!

what I was looking at getting is

2 - Powerbass S124DX 12-Inch

Powerbass ASA1000.1DX 1000w class D

Polk Audio DB571 5-by-7-Inch Coaxial Speakers (Pair, Black)

Hifonics BRX320.4 Brutus Vehicle Multi-Channel Amplifier

Power Acoustik 2.0 Farad Digital Power Capacitor

Also building a new box!

To all the people have had many systems this will be my second does it sound like a good upgrade?

(Edit)

Also on the subs should I go 2 ohm or 4 ohm?

Thanks!

What is everything you have already? Yourve only list sub stage nd h/u

What size wireing and elect system

What car

And some measurement of the rear?

Most upgrade in sections

If you want a complete system upgrade then its ok

Idd drop the cap and get better wiring and second batt

Myself and your budget

2x sdc2.5 $140ea

Sq1200d $270 (all on special at moment)

So $550 for sub stage

Idd then get some good fronts and run them on you current mid/high amp if you have

Or h/u them until you get some better funds

Something like the

T165s for 160 and the the 700

Or if you want it all now for 700

I don't mind the sound of

MbQuarts osc216 with oa240.2 both for 160(sonic)

Don't forget wiring upgrades I did see it in you list

And you will need it

Its a single-cab 2004 Ford F-150 Heritage

so I have no room I have to fit everything behind the seats!

I only have 6 inches of mounting depth

I have all good wiring just might need more for the second amp!

When you say 6" of m/depth

Is that an angled box with 6 at tha bass

Post some mesurments of what you want to give up, but ill look at the sa8v2 or the e8v3

You'll do 3 e8 in a nice ported box back there for $285 or 2 sa8v2 for $370 idd do 3x e8v3 on your budged with a sq1200d

If you have the elec to back it up the sq1200d can run at 0.67ohm daily (3x d4) if not run it at 1.33 (3x d2)

I second sa8v2 for sure. what do you call good wiring? it's best to let us know what brand/size it is. Get component speakers front and rear, the difference is huge, you won't be disappointed. Overall, take your time and save the money. You will learn more while you save and if you are like me, change your mind like 100 times.
