spl build 2004 tahoe

[hayden b]

i have a 2004 tahoe and want to do a spl build but i dont have a huge budget what would be the best and most efficient way to do the build?

honestly if you want to play with the big spl numbers you are going to need a serious budget... think 6 figure range. you could always save up over time. 

 

if you are just wanting some good bass that's something we can for sure help with. I'd need to know a rough number for your overall budget and I can make some recommendations based on that to get you some good sound. you've got a good vehicle for what you want. that generation Tahoe is a proven platform for bass.

my price range is around 2-3k and i want it to be loud but don’t want to spend a crazy amount

what all equipment do you have currently?

 

[crispy_chick3n]

how many and what size subs subs would you prefer?

this would get down. would even have a bit left over to get a box built and a second battery. if you are feeling spicy you can add some lithium power and rock with the D1 sub at 0.5 ohm... might be a bit much power for that sub at 0.5 ohm. the safe way would be to get the D2 coil config and run it at 1 ohm

how much air space does this subwoofer need?

my current setup is 2 sundown E series 12s in a 2.5cu slot port enclosure running on a 2000 watt max rockville audio amp (db12)

stock electrical 

pioneer double din headunit 

also have a speaker wall above my back seats with 2 rockville marine speakers and a ds18 pro 8” midrange and 2 skar 3.5” tweeters running on a rockville full range amp

all wiring for amps is rockville 4gauge and rockville rca 

[crispy_chick3n]

that rockville amp isnt doing you any favors there. on that ticket, neither are the e series subs. its all what i used to sell as entry level. (not the rockville... never that) the list i sent you would be worlds louder than anything those e subs can do
