updating system...need opinions

[bigclown94]

So long story short I have a 94 s10 extended cab I built my system 13 years ago when I was in high school I have 8- 10" pioneer 253c's in a sealed box each has 1.0 cubic with profile clarus amps (I know its old school) running about 1500 watts to the subs I wanna upgrade to news subs and amps but use the same box its a great box never had a problem at all and never blew subs or anything... only alt and battery problem cuz I never upgraded neither lol but anyone have any suggestions on some good subs and amps for it?

get some SA-10s and run 2 5ks lol

Budget is a big thing

Even with cheaper subs and mid range amp your at 2-2.5k

8x sd2 10" on a sax3500 is 2400

V's 2x z ported on a 3500 for same price or on a ns1 of 2700

Personal idd love to see 8x sa10 on a ns1 for $2980

To save cost you'll want to drop the cone area down and go ported on 2-4k power

Another option is make some nice spacers and drop in some 8" and through in some aero ports

3x 6" would work very well

So you guys are pretty much saying sundown is the way to go if I go with 8 sa10 and a ns1 what kind of alts and batteries do I need for that amp

[WillPwn4Food]

350a alt and at least 3 XS D3100s.

That depends on what ohm load you decide to run

Also look at dc, fi skar, dd ect

If you have a bit more to spend on elec and amps

Look I to the fiQ10 fully optioned (made for sealed)

They'll take rated and more all day

And drop anything up to 15k power daily on the

Thanks guys for the info... its gonna really help out getting back into car audio cant wait to build a new system. .

Why not just get a couple good subs instead of so many..I think you could increase your bass output if you got a couple 15s or 18s.and build a good ported box..look at the smd subs by ascendant audio..and the rockford fosgate t2s are good and much more affordable at 400 a piece on ebay. Or I have seen the alpine type r 15" subs for 200 a piece in ebay and you could run two of those off of your 1500 watts! And like I said ported box . Increase your spl and maybe get some hairtrick goin

You're gonna wanna build a new box to the subs you upgrade to IMO. You can maybe find some that would like that exact space and sealed etc. but might not be the specific subs you would want to go with then. Personally just make a new box, I could be wrong though, but it *should* sound better with a box built for the subs you put in.

oh and.......PICS.

If you aren't too worried about cost you could also run some RD Audio 10's or PSI Platform 2's, which the PSI's are able to be customized. There are a lot of brands out there but personally I would swap to a easier box to play with like dual ported 15's or quad ported 15's. Then you have a ton more options.
