Getting Back Into Systems

[angelscream]

Hey guys. I have recently had the itch to get back into stereo systems after about 2 years or so with a stock system. I have a couple of questions about what would perform better for me. I don't want to have a huge amount of bass. Just some tight bass for rock and metal that is able to go low when I listen to rap. My picks are as follows

That Alpine Type S powered by either this http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_76304_Alpine-MRV-M500.html or this http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_67772_Rockford-Fosgate-Punch-P400X1.html or this http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_67771_Rockford-Fosgate-Punch-P300X1.html

or I could go with this sub, which was my original pick http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_34787_Rockford-Fosgate-Punch-P3D4-10.html.

Let me know what you guys think.

Had one of these in my truck in a t line. Did a little over 140 with it on a memphis 1000.1. That amp clamped around 800 watts or so and the sub took it. I wouldn't recommend putting it on that much power, but it's durable. Sounded great on all types of music.

The alpine combo would be perfect. Build your own box for it and it'll sound great! I just finished my install of 2 Alpine Type S 10's and I've paired them with a Pioneer amp that puts out 1200 wrms at 1 ohm. Here's my box build log - http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/205000-my-2-10-enclosure-build/

I had the two subs wired internally to 1 ohm and they slap! (Video coming soon)

Do Punch amp and Punch sub you will like it.

I think I am going to go with the Alpine combo. I am only going to have 1 sub wired at 2 ohms. I have a Hyundai Veloster and I want to preserve a little bit of space in the back. I would build my own box if I knew the first thing about carpentry and building something. The only thing I am good at building is computers.

You could always start a thread asking for help on making a design and someone may help you with it. If you do, give max dimensions, sub being used, power being put to it, what kind of box you're looking at/goals of the system and anything else you may think is relevant to your needs. Hopefully someone will get back to you and help you design something.
