Twigz Posted March 25, 2009 Report Share Posted March 25, 2009 (edited) Long story short, went to audio shop to rewire my voltage meter to see where i'm at DC POWERS FTMW don't drop below 12. Dude comes in as im ready to leave and asks them for a estimate on car alarm. I ask him if he had a system *cough 2 sony 12's xplods cough* "Gotta Start Somewhere"" and a Sony Xplod amp. Asked him if he wanted a demo and ended up like 20 minutes straight, even with the windows up shop & there neighbors was getting annoyed. Keep in mind they talked down to DC and compared it to a mmats juggernaught copy. So, I end up demoing him and he makes beats/raps and let him hear some of his own shit on a real system and needless to say he's interested in my set up. I told him all about SMD, and asked him bout his knowledge of audio and he's as clueless as a duck trying to swim with no feet. So, I just got a voice mail bout 10 minutes ago he wants to check out the forum, and whatnot and look for his own set up. I would reccommend two dc lvl 3's 12's and like a 1000 watt amp but I don't know how much money/power he wants. Needless to say I gave him the DC Audio bug, and Rusty will have a new customer. The shop mainly pushes memphis which after hearing a demo from the 2 15' Mojo walls is not bad, but i've been in louder. I don't wanna see this kid ending up like I did when I first got started and knew nothing about audio and blew my money on shit. He'd most likely have it in the trunk, it's a nice sports car I dunno what brand/model but it's better than mine lol. Anyways, I need some suggestions for this cat, If he's on a budget what would be something decently priced but LOUD? I have no idea about a box but I'm sure I can come up with something. Dc RE FI I'm looking for like $200 a speaker for him or $150 a speaker? Something that can handle 1000 rms 1500wrms. As for the amp I have no clue either. He has no knowledge accept commercial brands. So, who would like to help this guy out? list some ideas & brands and all that jazz. he says he wants POWER so I would say a 2000 rms amp atleast. Thanks for looking and if he see's this and all the replies we will have another new member on the forum tonight. So, don't let us down and show him what SMD is all about.

Twigz Posted March 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2009 (edited) you got my PM.and ive got a US Amps XT4000D for sale as well. 1500 RMS x2 @ 1 ohm Thanks man, any1 else who wanna get rid of a amp or subs or w.e feel free to post ur stuff as a suggestion, this is not a SALES thread, so PM me only. I have no experience building a box and the shop would charge $300 minium for a specification box. Personally, you can't go wrong with RF but it's a bit pricey, he's interested in the Crunch Line, mayb a Crunch Gp 2500.? Edited March 25, 2009 by Twigz Quote Fear The Quack!

slugdub Posted March 25, 2009 Report Share Posted March 25, 2009 People really start out that huge huh? I got freaked out hooking up 656 watts rms last night for the first time. It seemed to want to rattle my whole garage apart. I was all paranoid it was going to be like a beacon drawing in the thugs to my location Odd that it didn't dim the lights though. I guess class D is really that good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neo_frog Posted March 25, 2009 Report Share Posted March 25, 2009 (edited) Well if he's leaning towards DC and about 2k RMS, then LVL4s would be right up his alley. Coupled with a DAT 2500.1 EDIT: And as long as you know how to cut wood (or he does) we can help design a good box for them PLEASE don't pay 300 for a box...

I told him GO BIG or GO HOME. what's the point in fucking $500 on 2 15's and rigging it, when a guy with 1 12' with correct box, and electrical is louder? so he's taking all my advice, and wants to check out the forum, i am sure this thread will motivate him. what's the price on Diablo? I been wanting to check those out. you got my pm david. while were on topic of boxes what would be specs for a 2 dc lvl 4's duel 1's in a ported box tuned to like 38 hz? in a 2007 chevy cobalt trunk set up, subs facing forward seats folded down, eventually trunk sealed, and blow thru where the 6x'9s are Edited March 25, 2009 by Twigz Quote Fear The Quack!
