King Kong Mandingo Warrior Posted November 30, 2013 Report Posted November 30, 2013 This is my starter system. I have two juice box batteries 0 gauge fromt to back atomic trinity amp for mids and hi's atomic three way components in the front and 3" audiopipe tweets in the rear. The sub is an Eminent audio 2k series and my amp is an audiopipe apcl 1800. Im currently running it at 2ohms. I believe its running at about 900-50 watts. Also running a mechman 270amp alternator i believe. If you have anny suggestions they would be appreciated
n8ball2013 Posted November 30, 2013 Report Posted November 30, 2013 i would go to 2 12s in the trunk and it would be way louder than an 18 with tiny port. Youve got money in your electrical but your substage and sub amps are on the cheap side? why is that? just havent gotten around to it yet? Lots of room for improvement but it doesnt look bad!

n8ball2013 Posted November 30, 2013 Report Posted November 30, 2013 This is a trunk build I did that I talked out of a single 18. I think hes happy with his 2 12s and a 2500.

King Kong Mandingo Warrior Posted November 30, 2013 Author Report Posted November 30, 2013 I appreciate all the tips. The main reason i have the 18" is because i had a few systems before. Originally i ran 2 8" polk dbs fron the trunk in transmission like boxes. Then i had 2 12" eminent audio 1k series. They were ok i just like way deeper bass. I tried them out in a few boxes but not my cup o' tea. So the next thing i tried were 4 entry level eminent 10"s in a ported box from the back seat just to see how loud i could get it. They destroyed my sunroof and knocked off my Spoiler. First 10s i had. But now i want to get serious into things. Im looking to buy a new amp i was thinking abou the soundqubed 3500. Im definitely open to suggestions on an amp. I was looking at the atomic 5k an for $1100 it doesnt sound too bad of a deal. I always wanted to build a wall and ive been debating on getting another 18" and doin so once i had the proper amplifier to do so. Sorry for the long post and thanks for welcoming me to the forum folks

Tecomah Posted November 30, 2013 Report Posted November 30, 2013 I agree with n8 two 12 or even 15s if you can fit them well will most likely sound quite a bit louder. Love the username by the way 750??! Yeah, fuck that. Fuck this website, fuck SMD, fuck Steve, fuck all of his butt buddy mods, and their couches.^ DON'T BE A DICK LIKE THIS GUY Team Subsonic Lows
