What Was Your First System?


Recommended Posts

Posted

I owned my first setup before I owned my first car. lol

Bought my first setup off a coworker.

2 12" JL Audio W0s (02 or 03 models)

RockFos Punch 500 amp

prefabbed box

1 run of 8 gauge

stock power

Pioneer HU

in a 95 New Yorker, came with the premium Infinity factory speakers, but the rear deck speakers didn't work (didn't know shit about it to check it out) and one of the front door speakers was blown. So I had one working mid in a door and two tweeters in the dash. lol The guy fucked me over and sold me on of the W0s blown.

Bought my second setup separately.

2 12" Kicker CompVRs, 05 models

Audiobahn 1300 amp

prefabbed box

1 run of 4 GA

same Pioneer HU

blew 1 of the subs and sold the whole setup separately.

Bought my 3rd setup for $40 from a dude in the slums.

2 15" Crunch's

same Audiobahn amp

prefabbed box

newer Pioneer HU

1 run of 1/0

5 farad Power Accoustik cap

yellow top under the hood

The goddamn CONE ON THE SUBS FELL APART, LIKE SPLIT IN TWO, about 1 week after I hooked it up

next setup was 2 15" Kicker CVRs 06 model

SPL 1600.2 amp (a fuckin beast)

undersized prefabbed box

same Pioneer HU

Infinity Reference 6 1/2s in the front doors

Alpine Type R 6 1/2s coax in the rear doors

1 run of 1/0

ditched the cap cause I realized it was fuckin useless

same yellowtop

ran good, sold the setup to a buddy, then he gave it back as part of a trade for a shitty non-running Mitsu Eclipse, but the amp caught fire, so I bought a JL 1000/1.

fried my alt in a week

fried another alt 2 months later

hooked up a 2nd yellowtop in rear and upgraded big 3. alt still was practically shutting off my headlights, but it didn't fry.

sold vehicle and system together

bought 3 10" Kicker CVTs in a prefabbed box

traded the JL 1000/1 for a Kicker ZX1500.1

borrowed a buddies Alpine 9855 HU, gave it back when I bought a newer Pioneer HU

upgraded big 3

stock batt

1 run of 1/0

used financial aid from school to buy my Excessive Amperage alt and 3 more CVTs and some Kicker DS6930s. Built the box in my avatar. 3 different size chambers. Sealed. the center and top subs I ran inverted. Bought the wrong ohm 10s, found a fucked up way to wire them, but it sounded like shit, so I went back down to 3. alt quit charging for some reason, sent back to Excessive.

sold the car, gave the box to the guy that helped me build it.

Starting to collect parts for my new setup, for my Expedition.

i jus got into car audio recently, so i dont have a very long list...lol... im also on a budget...(tryn to pay for college) my first system was given to my from my parents. on my 18th birthday... which was about 2 years ago...

same head unit

same mid speakers

one day my dad comes home with a kenwood 1800watt mono block amp (which is only 500w at 4ohms) and a 12in sony explod woofer in a prefab band-pass box. he got the amp from someone who blew thier L7, and he got the sony from a pawnshop... the funny part is he was trying to install them into his car... it took him 2 days... and assumed the amp and sub were broken... i took a look at it... and i said he wasnt doing it rite...(this was back then when i didnt knw much about audio either...) i told him.."lemme test it..." pluged it in... and it boomed... soo i used it from them... lol
