starting my first system.


Recommended Posts

Posted

Hi everyone. Been a part of this forum for awhile now, and I've saved up some money, not enough to get me everything at once, but would like to get an idea. Hoping to have everything by christmas.

It's my first system, so I'm not going to go full blown out, but I would like something that's not too weak.

What's done already:

MB Quart 6.5" Comp in front.

MB Quart 6x9 Coax. for rear deck.

Looking at the following.

RADIO: http://www.crutchfield.com/s_500CDA105/Alpine-CDA-105.html?tp=5684

AMPLIFIER: http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_11796_Kenwood+KAC-8104D.html

SUBWOOFER: http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_27307_RE+Audio+SRX15D2.html

How does it look for a first system?

It's going into a 2001 Impala LS, trunk. I will be building a custom enclosure, not entirely sure what design yet, but I need the radio first; before I even think about subs/enclosures.

Appreciate any help, thank you.

First System

2002 Impala LS 3.8L V6, 128,365k miles.

Alternator: DC Power 190Amp H/O Alternator

Headunit: Kenwood KDC-BT945U.

Speakers: MBQuart 6.5" Comps, 6x9 3-way.

Amplifer: Eclipse 3322 on front 6.5 components, and a Infinity Kappa One @ 2ohm- 800w

Subwoofers: 2 REAudio SRX12D2 wired to 2 ohm.

Box: 3.1cuft box tuned to 33hz. sealed off to cabin

Big 3- done with all Knukonceptz KCA 0 gauge.

Don't drop below 14.1v at full tilt. :)

Not bad for a first... I'd suggest some diff items other then the RE woofer and Kenwood amp...

looks good, although I've never personally heard any of the equipment. Don't forget about your wiring if you don't already have it, and make sure that 15 fits in your trunk.

Start out boxy, shape as you move along.

What other items would you suggest? Please try to keep this rather cheap as money is not flowing fast.

Budget is probably $350 for both amp/sub. I also see that the Alpine is cheaper on sonic, but through crutchfield it's free shipping, and I get the free installation equipment.

Well if I were to pick from Sonic's site I'd go Kicker for the woofer(s)

I love Kicker though so I might be biased.

Give DC Sound Lab a call sometime next week and see if they can help you decide on a nice DC woofer.

You could do 2 level2 DC 8s and a hifonics bxi610! Wire it down to 1 ohm..that would be around 380 or so. I think that would be a good budget setup, and would sound good too!

I'm not against Kicker. Looking for something that will move a bunch of air, being because I can pull the back seats down to allow air to move into the cabin.

They've got this..

I will give DC Sound Lab a call next week, how are they pricing wise? I'm also not stuck on 15s, any size is acceptable, just lookin to move some air. haha.

What amps would you recommend?
