stunninsabatino Posted July 18, 2010 Report Share Posted July 18, 2010 (edited) Ive been looking for some new subs in my 98' mustang, and i think i found a decent pair. http://www.parts-express.com/pe/showdetl.cfm?Partnumber=293-360 They look pretty good, and it's in my price range, but if i was to get them i'd def. have to upgrade my amp. I already have a box, 2 10" enclosed,but should i modify it to be ported or should i keep it enclosed? Id also like to get a decent Rockford Fosgate amp, and would like some opinions. lemme know what u guys think..

stunninsabatino Posted July 18, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2010 id wait and save some money for better stuff I don't want a comp. system, just something that can keep up w/ me, nothin too big, but not too small. my friend has a lansar 15 w/ a 50 watt precision power amp bridged and his is enough for me, but i love the sound from a good set of 12's. When my ears start to hurt and i can feel the bass in my chest, its enough for me Lets see, i got little more then 1k to spend, was goin to go on vacation but didn't, so have this $ figured i'd treat myself to a new system. Ima need subs, compasitor, def. an amp, new head unit, and maybe upgrade the factory speakers... its not goin to be a compitition system, just a damn good one....

BJD3 Posted July 18, 2010 Report Share Posted July 18, 2010 (edited) As already said, leave the cap alone. Infinity Component Set, Rockford Fosgate P2D212, Rockford Fosgate R500-1, Rockford Fosgate R150-2, Rockford Fosgate Wiring Kit = $522 shipped using code "BFY4BANR" at checkout (40% off Rockford merch) and Amazon's Super Saver Shipping (free). That leaves you with about $400 to pick a head unit, other install necessities, and build a box or get a box built. Avoid prefabs if possible. 90% of the time, they suck. There is equipment out there better than this, but I don't know of anything off the top of my head that can compete at this price point. It may run you a little over 1k, but I don't think it will be by much. EDIT: And an absolute no on that Boss amp.

Don't take it personally, I'm just abrasive. 2002 Buick Park Avenue DC Level 4 M2 12 D2 Car Audio Bargain 1600.1 Eclipse CD3200 ~2 cubes @ 34 hz.

Really feelin that Fosgate combo, looks good, and ive heard Fosgate subs, love em too, but should i go with 10's or 12's? If i go with 10's i already have a sealed box to go w/ it, but with the 12's i won't have a box, i can make one (I do Home Renovation) but i don't know how to make a specifically tuned box. Anyone kno how to make a tuned box or can give me some tips??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
