MyimpalaFinLBS Posted February 23, 2014 Report Posted February 23, 2014 So, I recently got back into car audio since my kids are a bit older....not as much need for the trunk space anymore...I'm sure some of you know about the car seats, booster seats, strollers, diaper bags, etc. My last car stereo was about 10 years ago or so and I wanted to do this one the right way so my car wasn't always half put together. I have been purchasing slowly making sure the equipment I bought was what I wanted and complete before starting the install. So I'll give you a list of the equipment I chose and would like a bit of input on what everyone thinks..... Car- 2008 Chevy Impala H/U - Pioneer avh 4600BT Access GMOs lan-01 (retains OnStar/door chimes) Sub amp- Team RF x7a (1500@2ohm underrated) Woofers- Can't decide! Either 2 15" HCCA(old school w/ tc9 motor) or 2 12" power hx2 OPINIONS PLEASE!!! Wire- 1/0 knukoncepts kolossus flex amp kit Not completely done yet..still need to pick up some comps for the front and an amp to power them but I figured I could live with the stock speakers for a little bit.
cloud77 Posted February 23, 2014 Report Posted February 23, 2014 why are you so narrowed down with your sub stage choices? Times have changed and there are a lot of nice sub brands. Can you give a budget and goals? You looking to run sealed/ported, how much space do you have? 2004 Grand Prix GT (2) 12" RE XXXs (04/05 XBL^2) 5 cu. ft tuned @ 35 Hz MMATS HD4000.05 MMATS SQ4100 Infinity Kappa components Juice Box black cherry Duralast platinum group 34 1/0 KNU OFC, 2/0 welding Singer 250A
MyimpalaFinLBS Posted February 23, 2014 Author Report Posted February 23, 2014 I have already purchased both of them....just can't decide which ones to run.
cloud77 Posted February 23, 2014 Report Posted February 23, 2014 well I have never heard hx2s but I know that the tc9 motors are well capable of the power you would be giving them and sound very nice. I would go with those. 2004 Grand Prix GT (2) 12" RE XXXs (04/05 XBL^2) 5 cu. ft tuned @ 35 Hz MMATS HD4000.05 MMATS SQ4100 Infinity Kappa components Juice Box black cherry Duralast platinum group 34 1/0 KNU OFC, 2/0 welding Singer 250A
MyimpalaFinLBS Posted February 23, 2014 Author Report Posted February 23, 2014 If I went that route a ported box will fit in my trunk but be a big pain in the ass....the 12" hx2's ported would be a lot easier fit just not sure if the output I'm looking for will be there.
CleanSierra Posted February 23, 2014 Report Posted February 23, 2014 Let those Fosgates eat!!!!!! Get someone on here to design you a box for them. PM with dimensions and info and I'll design you one if you'd like Im not the one you want to try to troll. Just a fyi for you.
alaskanzx5 Posted February 23, 2014 Report Posted February 23, 2014 ^^ cleansierra has a lot of exp with those speakers. pending condition of yours im sure they will handle 750-1.5k each. rated for 1k each and in good condition with clean power im sure they can take more. a lot of people on here would love to see those hx2 in action t1500bdcp 2 t2d4 15" 1 t600.4 1 t400.2 1 set p1 tweets singer alt, tons of wiring, smd vm-1, 80prs, back seat delete, still in the works, aiming for a 145-147 with the ability to play 25hz up to 50hz.
MyimpalaFinLBS Posted February 23, 2014 Author Report Posted February 23, 2014 Ok.....Hx2's it is then...cleansierra my dimensions are 37" wide x 17" tall x 40" deep...the impala trunk is massive..which is why I went with the 15s to begin with....I guess I'll try to sell/trade them and put the funds towards the hx2s...as far as condition they are mint...I texted pics to cleansierra...he can post them again if he would like. I use a tablet w/ no can so pictures are tough. You think those hx2s will get loud in this large of a trunk application?
alaskanzx5 Posted February 23, 2014 Report Posted February 23, 2014 the hx2 from my understanding like a bit of a bigger box. so 2 of them in roughly a 4.5-5.5cuft net tuned around 33hz will get low and loud with out a problem imo. cleansierra will make sure the box is great. he always makes great boxes. t1500bdcp 2 t2d4 15" 1 t600.4 1 t400.2 1 set p1 tweets singer alt, tons of wiring, smd vm-1, 80prs, back seat delete, still in the works, aiming for a 145-147 with the ability to play 25hz up to 50hz.
MyimpalaFinLBS Posted February 23, 2014 Author Report Posted February 23, 2014 I was doing some searching and it looks like around 5ft^3 tuned low is where its at....
