BlackWhizz Posted December 29, 2009 Report Share Posted December 29, 2009 First, i want to excuse me for my weak English. Im from Holland so its not my main language. The question: In my next car (probably a VW Golf / Polo) i want great sound. By that, i mean not just bass, but also mids and highs. Also im on a budget. Also i dont know that much about car audio. I havent wired up a amp (sorry, bassheads ). My friends have some installs but they use low quality components (one with a golf has as chinese amp of 500 chinese watts, the other has a much better JBL amp with 630w [but his lights dim on bass peaks]). I want to do it right. To summarize it: - Good SQ (Mids/highs, but mainly BASS) - On a budget - Good components So i thought about a Alpine headunit (and my samsung NC10 as a car PC) for mids/highs and a Alpine MRP-M500 (500w RMS monoblock) for bass with some RF subwoofer (which one?). Is this a good choice or does it suck? Also i need a box. I want to make it myself, because i have all the materials for it (table saw, router etc etc) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turkboy Posted December 31, 2009 Report Share Posted December 31, 2009 Well im no professional but For sub maybe a P2 or a P3 if you can. For speakers try looking around the internet there are so many people who are on a budget and they ask questions as well. People answer trust me hope this tiny bıt of info gives you some sort of direction Quote Drop a BTL on his head i think DC lvl 2's beat the infamous jackhammer... The formulas that you used to predict this enclosure's behavior can't predict turbulence since turbulence is, by definition, chaotic. You can't predict chaos.

BlackWhizz Posted January 1, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2010 Well im no professional but For sub maybe a P2 or a P3 if you can.For speakers try looking around the internet there are so many people who are on a budget and they ask questions as well. People answer trust me hope this tiny bıt of info gives you some sort of direction Damn, i just see that i need the biggest P2 series with a 4 ohm DVC (to hook them up in 2 ohm). That one is 400RMS/800max. Is that a problem that im running it with 100w over RMS? For a good budget..MB Quart for amp and mids/highs. We're the only ones still up haha.. remember its only 6 AM here =)BTW, your English is better than some on this site! hahahaha Only one retailer in the Netherlands. So ill stick to the 'easier-to-get-in-Holland' brands. also if you dont want your lights to dim do the big three its super easy to find on the forum I was planning to do a big3. But where do i have to put the fuse? And how much amps does my fuse have to be? One more question Whats the best box? For a P2 12" subwoofer?

mikey634 Posted January 1, 2010 Report Share Posted January 1, 2010 I was planning to do a big3. But where do i have to put the fuse? And how much amps does my fuse have to be? You'll have one ground going from your engine block to your battery, one ground going from battery to chassis, and one power wire, preferably fused, going from alternator to your battery. And this step really does help a ton with lights dimming, you might want to let your buddy know One more questionWhats the best box? For a P2 12" subwoofer? Qts is 0.55 for that sub, so just going off that I'd say a sealed box, but if you go to Rockford Fosgates website it'll show you ported and sealed recommended enclosures.

AI James Posted January 1, 2010 Report Share Posted January 1, 2010 (edited) looking at your first post you seem to have an issue with Chinese made amps.. Alpine amps are made in china so are most JBl amps and MB Quarts That being said, my wife has the MRP 500 on 2 Hertz es200 8's and loves it, she also has Hertz Deici components She rocks a JVC R800 Headunit because she wanted built in bluetooth deck 229 amp 229 comps 150 subs 300 for the pair thats about 900 bucks and it gets raves from everyone that gets a demo in it Edited January 1, 2010 by Accordman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he said the amp cost him like 75 euros so it cant be 500w. That alpine unit is 230 euros. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
