ehall8702 Posted January 18, 2013 Report Share Posted January 18, 2013 my first system was a beast! 1989 ford tempo 2 door with no muffler with 2 15" RF Series 1's ( back when RF used the "R" in the diamond logo ) free air setup with the trunk screwed down and expanda-foamed all the holes in the trunk to seal it. Took out the back seats mounted the 2 Radio Shack 700 watt car amps ( like optimus or some crazy named amps that cost me 250 for both) had the same brand 2 channel amp running the front Radio shack door speakers from a no Name tape deck with 1 set of RCA outs. i used an extension cord for power wire too. dont let me lie though, those RF's made the front seats smack back and forth when u turned it all the way up . steering wheel shake and all. Sucks it was with Vanilla Ice , 69 boys, and Too Short. i think my buddy still has those 15's buried in his garage though.......im gonna look and see because i WILL find a use for them! 2009 Silverado 1500, 7.5" lift, 37x12.50r17s, Built Gen 4 5.3L ( 4.8l flat pistons, decked 243s, SS2 Cam, Pac 1218 springs, ported intake, 120mm TB, Long tubes, 3" duals HP tuner software tuned by me), 4l80e swapped and 4.56 gears.

knubs Posted January 18, 2013 Report Share Posted January 18, 2013 my first system was a 12" dayton audio subwoofer that my step brother gave me. he also gave me a dual brand 4 channel amp. i read up a bit and bought a sony bluetooth head unit, some kenwood 3 way speakers, a boss "3500 watt" amp, and the cheapest subwoofer box i could find. i got it dialed in by my inexperienced ear and thought it was the shit. i had never heard a system that wasnt stock at that point. then i heard 2 l7's in my brothers boat for a minute and was instantly aware i had a shitty system... this is still the same system i have for the most part but now i know a lot more and have made it exponentially better. i have a nicer amp now (got it for my new dc xl 15 i just ordered) and i built a nicer box. the box was the biggest improvement. my sealed prefab box SUCKED. now i have the same sub in a 1.5ft ported box tuned to 34hz and that sub is twice as loud and hits a lot more notes. now it hits 135db! but now i am upgrading everything except the head unit.

Dolemite Posted January 20, 2013 Report Share Posted January 20, 2013 My very first install was a Sparkomatic shaft style mated to a prehistoric 3way booster pushing a pair of KLH house 10s. Oh, to be 17 and not give a fuck. My first system that wasn'y an absolute joke was a sony cassette deck pushing 2 Jensen 6x9s and an old Audio Art 200W on a pair of Kickers (the old ones with the yellow "kicker" on the dustcap). I wish I still had the AA. I also ran a Soundstream Reference 700S on some of the diamond plate Pioneer 12s for a while. Was tinkering with sub wiring one afternoon and I dropped one of the speaker leads onto the bare metal trunk floor (with the system on, like an idiot). It only pushed the subs out and held them there or pulled them in and held them after that. I'd do bad things to good people to have another one.
