n8z02burbon Posted February 13, 2014 Report Posted February 13, 2014 I just got an 02 Suburban to tow my show monster to shows and the previous owner (Repo car) tore out or destroyed the factory system. According to my friend one door is only runnin a tweeter, two are missing the speakrs and teweters, and the sub is missing. I have seen Steve's Tahoe build and wanted to do something like that. For starters I have an 1800 watt 5 channel am but I doubt it will work. It might for the internal speakers but not bass. Thinking two SMD/DC audio 12s or 15s would work. I want to keep the third row seat if possible.. Any ideas?
Krakin Posted February 13, 2014 Report Posted February 13, 2014 If you want SMD subs you will have to dig deep for some that are for sale, or offer up a pretty penny to buy some from someone else. This is because they are no longer in production. Also note there are only 15's and 18's for the SMD's. Two 15's would be an easy fit in there.

n8z02burbon Posted February 14, 2014 Author Report Posted February 14, 2014 Ok, So I guess two 15's would work. What about amps? the more I see Steves car I am thinking of Rockford Fosgate but my friend is saying JL audio.. I don't want to buy both to figure out what amp is better than the other.

Krakin Posted February 14, 2014 Report Posted February 14, 2014 This is getting close to getting into a product versus product qustion, which are not allowed here, but my suggestion would be to look at some people that use the equipment that you are thinking of getting. Rockford Fosgate is an amazing company, and JL is pretty nice too. My best piece of advice would be to just look around the forum for a while, every now and then ask a question on something and then rethink what you want to do.

KillaCam Posted February 14, 2014 Report Posted February 14, 2014 Your friend is going to drain your wallet faster than a Las Vegas escort. If you have the money to drop then fine but I'd look around here a little more before making any major purchases. Your name may or may not cause some complications lol. And the fact more than one person agrees does not make it a circle jerk, it makes it a bukkake scene and you're in the middle Chick took 3 shots of Jager, and then, pissed in my mouth..

gr8handogoatness Posted February 15, 2014 Report Posted February 15, 2014 I think that I'm going to agree with Aj11. I'd probably go 2 15s.
