obesetoad Posted October 10, 2009 Report Share Posted October 10, 2009 I'm thinking of getting 2 Fi BTL 18s. And a Memphis 16-MC1.4000 amp. But I'm not sure what kind of results will yield. And I'm in no way car system savvy, so once I get all this I'll have NO clue how to set it up properly, or what i'd need at all. I'm curious as to what you guys think, or suggest I should get? Anyone interested in joining Lockerz, send me a message with your email in it, and I'll invite you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For that set up, 200-250 amp alt, Big 3, 1 good battery up front, 2 Kinetik 2400's or equal sized XS Power batts. ¿ǝɯɐƃ ǝɥʇ Trolls never learn............

TechSys Posted October 11, 2009 Report Share Posted October 11, 2009 First, the obvious questions for you to answer. 1. Vehicle: Year: Model: 2. What exactly are you looking for the system to do? Be loud on the meter or be loud to the ear? Shake the whole neighborhood? Make the earth move next to the vehicle? 3. What is your budget limit? You can't just go out and buy 2 18s and an amp, throw them in any vehicle, and expect big results. What CaptainzPlanetz mentioned is a very good start to a very loud system though. If enclosure is built right. Team Pinnacle / Team SouthEastSPL / Team SoundStream / Team GPI / GPI Sales Rep for Florida and Georgia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because you have no experience I would suggest having your system installed professionally, or going with a smaller system that would be easier for you to install and setup (e.g. 2-12's on 1000 watts or something).

white4d96 Posted October 14, 2009 Report Share Posted October 14, 2009 Unless you wanna wall I would say no to the twin 18's. Maybe a pair of 10s/12s or a 15. Too many projects, too little time... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
