Luda Posted December 10, 2006 Report Share Posted December 10, 2006 my car was stolen today... so i need to see how much it would cost to build a new system that is close to as strong as my old one. specs on the shit that got stolen: HU:older model of:KDC-MP332 front+rears:doesnt matter, they wouldnt fit the car im getting anyways subs: dual 12" Alpine Type R's[i get them for around 130$ a piece] amps:Dual kenwood KAC-9102D [850WRMS @ 2ohms 190$ a piece] box:custom my biggest thing is the subs/amps i was pushing 120DBs about 3 weeks ago @ a local shops competition, dont know what mic, i think it was an older TL. but i was wondering/hoping yall could suggest something that would come close to 120DBs for less then the combined price of the subs+amps [~700] i can custom build a ported box, im looking into Tline boxes but i think they might be beyond my skill level... the construction seems pretty complex. but ya... so let me know what yall think Quote 2005 Grand PrixSource: StockFronts: Stock 6.5 ComponentsRears: Stock 6x9Subwoofer: FI BTL 12" Fully optionedSubwoofer amplifier: Kenwood KAC-7203 bridged @ 4ΩEnclosure: 3.41cuft tuned to 33hz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AI James Posted December 10, 2006 Report Share Posted December 10, 2006 hella easy and Fi 12s probably even X's lol a decent amp and a deck and entry level Focals for a front stage. 120 is really nothing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ernesto Posted December 10, 2006 Report Share Posted December 10, 2006 Lol I guess there's a first time for every thing, this being the first time I hear some one say "I want to hit 120dbs"... I think you should be able to hit that with just about any sub...Hell even Xplods :-[ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scratchy Posted December 10, 2006 Report Share Posted December 10, 2006 i think even 135's are possible with xturds Quote then im rambo bitch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSN2meBoom916 Posted December 10, 2006 Report Share Posted December 10, 2006 ok all joking aside man THAT sux sorry to hear bout your loss. -Lets try to focus on squeezing a 140db outta this scenario rather just sh*t talking brand-x and saying how easy a 120db is. My rec's: Stay w/ the alpine type R subs- avail on ebay brand new w/ warrenty for around like you paid originally-2 of those in decent ported box should HAMMER well above 120db even on a new TL. I would say 2 KAC-9152D's would be a step up and stay under $300 shipped for 2 amps (the largest in the Kenwood monoblock line SAME amps I ran in the lexus and mustang and no complaints at all very nice stuff for the $$) Some 5 1/4" or 6 1/2" components up front avail at a decent price online check ebay especially some good deals all the time thru online stores, or places like sounddomain.com, crutchfield.com & acaraudio.com are good for info and then search a lower price once you find sum u like...the best way to choose mids is to audition them (listen to some in person)-one man's "sound Q" is another man's "trash can farts" so find out what ur into b4 you buy "the best thing out". I can speak for the kac 8452 as a good 4channel, but any good 75x4 rms-100rms amp would be good for ur mids and Kenwood/hifonics/alpine/Phoenix Gold are sum i'd look into. Hifonics are a lil more overbuilt than the Kenwoods but will be a lil more $$ too. Maybe throw some $$ at a nice Stinger audio batt or similar/optima/KINETIK/etc. Just my 1st impression/ideas- lemme know if you need more details on product matching.

Ernesto Posted December 10, 2006 Report Share Posted December 10, 2006 No shit talking going on here man...The man wants 120db so were telling him what to get. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSN2meBoom916 Posted December 10, 2006 Report Share Posted December 10, 2006 Ernesto-No disrespect here @ all man but here's my point: I would think he'd want "the most (output), best sound" for his $$, so why not shoot higher than 120db? You and i know it's very possible given even the equipment listed so far. So, rather than pointing out how sony xplodes are not as great as some other prods (which I totally agree with) and how 120db on a TL is not that difficult, I just meant "lets all throw our 2cents in" on what PRODUCTS/brands might acheive a 120db or better (the more dbeez the merrier) and then we can come to a consensus maybe? possibly make his decision on how to rebuild based "the SMD pros" rec's. Coo? No hatin here man just tryin to help out the SMD folks w/ info/commentary. :^ Quote COOGLE SAID:"bro thats how we got where we are... buy making messes ...... i still learn all the time you just gota be willing to ruck up some shit" "In order to attain the impossible, one must attempt the absurd." ~ Miguel de Unamuno"One machine can do the work of fifty ordinary men, but no machine can do the work of one extraordinary man" -Elbert Hubbard"A proud man can learn humility...but he will be proud of that too" ~I forget who.I'm far from perfect and I know it better than anyone, but I hope to be good at what I do, when I do it...Installs I've done:My Integra: http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/ind...?showtopic=3161The Lexus : http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/ind...?showtopic=1535Law's Maxima: http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/ind...ic=5568&hl=Jeff's 2500HD: http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/ind...ic=5382&hl=Acura RSX-S: http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/ind...?showtopic=3142Z-32 300zx: http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/ind...?showtopic=34602004 Civic 4dr: http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/ind...?showtopic=8190Trunk/Corner Box: http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/ind...c=16036&hl=1969 Chevy C-10: http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/ind...c=20319&hl=Seat-Back AMP-RACK How-to: http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/ind...ic=9428&hl=Bunch of subs still for salehttp://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/ind...l=lsn2meboom916"It's game night...we're playin......sex."~Quagmire"When disneyland started it was powered completely by orphan children running on treadmills to generate e-lectrissty…and today, them children are New York Yankees". ~Dale Gribble"Fill it with ice...then pour it up to the top of the ice...& Shut da Fu** up!" ~Urs truly.
