Just make sure they have the highest amp hour (ah) rating you can get. No bass in your car? Shit, I haven't really been able to drive my truck much in 2 years because I don't even have door panels 🤣. Hopefully we both get slapping soon! Ok gotcha and I won’t have to worry about my car catching on fire with agms too! Might have to get those skinny ones because the fat ones will def not fit in my trunk with the giant box I’ll be putting in! 🤣 actually today I drove 40 minutes to this car audio shop and learned a town from the owner!! Super cool guy and told me some crazy ideas… he gave me a demo in his daily driver that had 2 18s on 5k doing a 49.9!! That thing moved some air holy shit. His box was also fiberglass with all kinds of curves, it was really unique. Got a new 12 today cause my old one blew so I could have some bass and the owner sold me this lil agm battery I hooked up and bam!! No more voltage drop. Gettin my confidence up that I can complete this big system after doing that haha. We will be bumpin one day!! Car audio really is a lot of work. Lot goes into it man. Can be quite frustrating at times too but damn is it addicting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can be quite frustrating at times too but damn is it addicting Nice! I'm sure you can do it man. Just take your time. YouTube has been a huge help to me as well. A lot of good videos from beginner to damn near expert level. Being able to actually watch someone do it is way easier for me than to have someone explain it.

This new 12 I got is just as loud as my old one but the SQ is slightly better. Need to get these two 15s in and get louder 🤟🏻 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought a American bass xr12d2 and it’s on an audiopipe 1500. I also added a small agm battery in the back and it’s helped with my voltage dropping. It’s a solid lil sub, didn’t want to spend much cause I will be selling the entire box and sub soon but it’s literally there just to hold me over until I get my 2 x15s in lol. Can’t stand not having bass in my car. I’m itching to get louder badly though lol that one 12 doesn’t impress me anymore. How is your system coming along?? 4 12s in a blow through if I remember right, correct?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finding time to actually get some work done is the most challenging part. I think...I hope.... I'm almost done with the doors. 2011 Chevy Silverado under construction My build log here. Check it out!

It’s hard to find time myself too plus with how cold it is here it makes things very tough. The doors look nice tho! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The doors are the hardest because 1- I've never done any kind of custom door panels before, and my first ones ever of course have to be these crazy things 2- I should have done 3 8's or 3 6.5's and 3 car audio tweeters. Not 4 8's and these crazy home audio tweeters. I don't have the room, though I'm going to make it work. And 3- I didn't have the right tools for the job in the beginning. I have since gotten the right tools, and it's been very, VERY game changing. Thank you for checking them out.

Really though having the right tools helps a lot. Too late now to stop tho even though you realized you went with too many 🤣 I am kind of regretting the system I want to make now. The box is massive and the doors are gonna stress me out too but I think I’ll be happy with it when I’m done. Subs will be easy once you finish those doors!! Lots of room to work with Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
