memphisbasshead Posted May 29, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2010 i say go with the 8's they will be cool and if you tune it really low it will be insane. noone will believe there 8's. if you only get 3 of the 12's you have to wire them up or you'll give em too much juice and possibly blow them yeah you got a point. and plus the 12's would be a tight fit because i have a small car. EDIT* btw i am using 1/0 gauge.

AVY_TOTIN'_SLAM Posted May 29, 2010 Report Share Posted May 29, 2010 i've done the big 3 and i've got a 165 amp high output alternator and i'm runnin right at about 15.1 volts and its stable as hell. U will def be fine then... 12's IMO, the wiring will be easier. BUT the 8's would be interesting to see/hear if its done right. Really it all depends on the available space.

sebasstian Posted May 29, 2010 Report Share Posted May 29, 2010 if your tight on space do the 8's. it will givw tyou more room to play with/ add more and upgrade. plus if you dont give the 12's enough airspace they might sound bad and get that hollow bass sound 12 RE audio X series 12's 4 gauge wiring to back batt (soon to be 0 gauge) 0 gauge from batt to amp kinetik 1800 in back clarion cx-200 HU SPL 3000 wired at 2 ohms 8 Re 6.5 full range speakers Re Xt 800.4 4 channel amplifier Autopager car alarm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really it all depends on the available space. i might go with the 8's just because it would look pretty bad ass and plus i don't listen to rap so the 8's would be amazing for rock and metal.

Yeah, rock has more punchy bass unlike rap with dragging bass lines. The 8's will def look/sound badass. Must post pics when u get the ball rollin'.
