nickconforti Posted June 13, 2010 Report Share Posted June 13, 2010 Whats up guys, I've been following Steve's 'Hoe for a while now, I've been tinkering with car audio for a few years and have my second best setup to date in my Ranger, its an extended cab so i have some room to play with. My current setup is as follows: 2 12" HiFonics HFi 12D4 @ 2ohm (insane bag for buck) Legacy LA720 Kicker 6x9's and dash speakers A decent Sony head unit Big three in 4 gauge, 4 gauge to the amp. I can build any box I need to, so that wont be a problem. The setup as is sounds good all around, the bass is loud when I need it to be, I want to have it metered here soon. I want to have the clearest mids and highs, I want to lows to rip your chest apart. I want a system that is good for 145db at least. My idea is stuck after subwoofer, I want an 18" maybe two if it will fit, I think one is pushing the space thing though. I'm looking at an 18" Havoc, it's not too expensive, looks good, and i've seen some pretty impressive setups with them. But after all that I'm asking for guidance, I want big spl, Amazing mids and highs, and I want to turn more heads than I do now. Heres what I'm working with now: http://www.youtube.com/user/88Lbody Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cashdollar2009 Posted June 13, 2010 Report Share Posted June 13, 2010 Get us some dimensions to play with. And also a budget! That's make everything a lot easier, and you'll also have better luck in getting some suggestions.

Alrighty, budget, thats easy, CHEAP! lol nah, trying to keep it under $2500 The mids and highs I have now aren't horrible, If it comes down to it I'll wait and just get the power and bass sorted out for now. lol I'll have to go out with a tape measure here in a bit. I'll post back with some dimensions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nickconforti Posted June 13, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2010 I hit a 142.6 on a system that does't get close to 900 dollars... Well, my old hatchback dodge was doing 137 all for under $500. Thats why I stated up above my second best setup to date :-P I'm just ready to step up equipment wise, I have buddies doing work with cheap stuff, stuff I've built the boxes for.

I just like the wow factor of the 18's :-P And I want to move alot of air. And yeah this thing is pretty awesome http://www.crescendoaudio.com/product.php?productid=17515&cat=0&bestseller=Y Edited June 13, 2010 by nickconforti Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Destram Posted June 13, 2010 Report Share Posted June 13, 2010 In my opinion, there's more wow factor in multiple subs than there is in one or two big ones. I'd love to see multiple 12s over 2 15s or 18s.
