pervitizm Posted May 7, 2008 Report Share Posted May 7, 2008 (edited) What are you guys running for front stage? I've been told that I have to run a 3 way active system and that I must spend at least $2-3k on speakers in order to keep up with my 18's. Is this true? I would like to hear what some of you guys are running just to get some type of idea on what I need to do. Thanks!

Sounds like some salesman talk right there I can't say what to go with cause I have well over a grand in my front stage Edited May 7, 2008 by kingsuv Quote Designing, building, and shipping boxes.

I mean the first minute is ok but that thing just really starts digging deeper and deeper in your earhole till you cant stand it no more. Seems like it does it with relative ease....16 12's on 8 amps.........gotta love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pervitizm Posted May 7, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2008 I had a guy over on soundsoulution telling me that I had to run a 3 way active system and that I needed to spend all this money on a front stage in order to keep up with my 18s. Hell all I want is some replacements for my door that will sound good while the 18's go at it. I know once I turn the Bass knob all that will be heard is Bass. I'm content with that. I just can't believe that I need to $2k components or a 3 way active system to achieve this.

I do however think that one set of 2 ways in the doors aren't going to be loud enough to keep up with monster bass in the rear. weather you run a 3 way made up of this and that of doing a few sets of components is up to you.

w87will Posted May 7, 2008 Report Share Posted May 7, 2008 I have 2 lvl4 18s and Im only running some Infinity Ref. 6x9s up front along with tweets and 6.5's in the back doors all powered by a Alpine MRP-F250. I can hear the songs perfectly fine. I think it sounds great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pervitizm Posted May 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2008 Okay so I took some measurements today just to see how much space I have to work with. The idea is to keep my third row seats. That was the main reason why I brought a suburban instead of a tahoe. So far this is what I've came up with. *Note all measurements are external* Height: 23 3/8 inches or 28 1/2 inches if I go up to top of headrest Width: 49 inches Depth: 28 3/4 inches I went to 12volt.com to use their volume calculator and it came out to roughly 15 cft of internal volume space. I want to go ported with the 18's and I want to go both subs and ports facing up as apposed to subs up and ports to the rear. You guys think this is do-able with the measurements I've posted?

REVOK1NER Posted May 17, 2008 Report Share Posted May 17, 2008 You definitely have enough room. I don't think you need 15 cubes for those 2 18's talk to Rusty about the box, my box is 9 cubes tuned to 42 hz(My cabin peaks at 46) and as far as a front stage I have some Infinitys I picke dup off of ebay for cheap and they sound good.
