Andrew Patterson Posted November 10, 2013 Report Share Posted November 10, 2013 hey guys, contemplating doing an SQ system in an extended cab Silverado that im wanting to buy. my past system history has been 157.3 in a Tahoe in a CRX box with 2 RE HC 15s right when they came out. I cracked the windshield a little, vibrated off interior lights, and had some hearing loss that came along with the loud systems. that was back in my college years, now im older and wanting to go with a more SQ focused build as I listen to a lot of XM radio instead of the sucky local stations. I would say for music its a mix of current rap/top 20, dave Mathews type, Sinatra / Ratpack era type, some Pearl Jam, Santana, and then if im relaxing at 3am coming home maybe some classical/pops , so as you can see my music is all over the place for what is listened to. back to the question at hand, the pickup im wanting to get would be around 02-04 extended cab Silverado, since I can pop in a double din pioneer for creature comforts of GPS and XM and maybe even DVD. but I live in a not so nice area of town since I help my elderly father. assuming when my elderly father passes away in the future I will move back to my house in a different part of the city where family is taking care of the house right now, and I would also like to keep it covert since its parked in a cul de sac and you never know about those little teenage bastards breaking into cars. I was wondering if its possible to achieve an IASCA style SQ setup , mind you I wont compete in iasca, but something that has front stage imaging, ie close your eyes and it sounds like a stage in front of you. proper frequency distribution/correction via RTA method, for say $500-1000, and what would be needed to achieve that as far as products/equipment,the last I remember it was nakamechi HU with MB quarts speakers, and Mcintosh amps, that probably dates me back a few years. the SQ arena is a new one to me. thanks.

rickybobby Posted November 10, 2013 Report Share Posted November 10, 2013 check out Hertz, Audison, RF for a good sounding system. i also like NVX x-series line. you can get great sound in a small cab with small power, the downside is that their doors are kind of noisey. get a quality sound deadener check out Second Skin 03 s-10 owned since 35k now 150k alpine type-s 6.5 comp alpine type-e 10 ported fiberglass jl 300/4 (dead) jl500/1 (dead) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HyPer LEDs Posted November 10, 2013 Report Share Posted November 10, 2013 For a nice listening experience, it's going to hit your minimum before you know it. It's certainly able to be done, just gotta do some research. You might can use some older equipment, a full analog SQ system can sometimes be had cheap, just gotta find the deals.

Soccerballzs Posted November 10, 2013 Report Share Posted November 10, 2013 Hertz Audison will eat your budget fast. Budget is low for what you are wanting. I am not the one to buy used but with you budget you may need to look at that avenue. http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/garage/vehicle/2438-jeep-commander/I Pioneer P99RSAmpere 38002-Ampere 125/44-6.5 inch Hertz HSK XL Mids4-8 inch JL Audio ZR Midwoofer 2-5.25 Satori Mids2-Morel Tweeters, 2 Hertz Milles 3 inch on A pillars2-Hertz Silk tweeters DC Audio Level 5/12 Skyhigh Wire Mechman 320 XS Power D3100MO Funniest Thread of the Year 2013: http://www.stevemead...dy-being-a-pos/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bighossf150 Posted November 10, 2013 Report Share Posted November 10, 2013 For reference I'm doing a basic sq oriented build, not a true sq set up and I have $1k just in my processor and front components. That's like saying I have $750 and want to do 160's on music.

skittlesRgood Posted November 10, 2013 Report Share Posted November 10, 2013 you can achieve your goal with that budget if we don't include the HU in the budget. Grab a used MS-8, it's a processor and amplifier. then look at parts-express.com for some speakers. you can find some great gear for a cheap price. look at dayton, tangband, and peerless. tell me what sizes you want to work with and I might be able to point you at something. If I answered you in a well mannered, informative way, you asked a good question or had a good attitude. If I was an asshole, you asked a stupid question or you had a fucktard attitude... or I was in a bad mood.

TeamHT Posted November 10, 2013 Report Share Posted November 10, 2013 57s on two 15"s...guess I was doing it wrong Tell me...does this smell like chloroform to you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kirill007 Posted November 10, 2013 Report Share Posted November 10, 2013 57s on two 15"s...guess I was doing it wrong It was probably on a old audiocontrol mic. Lol Why even bother replying? On a 500dollar budget it's going to be hard. But the 1000dollar budget will get you pretty far if you aren't afraid of buying second hand. Thinking is the root of all problems... You ALWAYS get what you pay for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Patterson Posted November 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2013 Unsure on mike, forget the exact year but this was when RE Just came out and wasn't widely known. I know they were the HC 15 models, crx box with slot port on bottom, I think I turned it to 37 to get it to resonate at 42/43hz for the Tahoe body, either was an eclipse or Panasonic HU With the 7v signal , a JBL 1200.1 on each sub and 1/0 welding cable to distro block. As for the install I've been doing car audio since I was 14 so install and fab I can usually do, and now with YouTube if I don't know it I can learn it . And I don't mind buying gently used stuff.
