im a highschool student with no job and i aint got no money, so my setup is garbage. if i had the money i would get 2 kicker solo barrick l7s and a 1400 watt amp to power them. so who here is happy with their system? and im cuirous to know what you guys think the ultimate system is for your car.
[sorry if this thread sounds gay but i have no hw tonite and i am boredlol]

 

I too am a broke a$$ highschool student with no job. Given the money, I would definitely go with two 15" Brahma's, dont know what kind of amp, but brahmas would be the subs.

 

how much does that push compared to the l7s?

 

defenatly. I'm going with the solobaric 15" L7 when I get cash together. also the new digital amps out. but going bigger watts. custom box in the trunk and all. nice set up.

 

unless those are square they are not going to push more than the L7.

 

an 8 inch W7 and a 13 inch W7 and with the eclipse touch screen head units and MB Quarts all around all powered by jl amps

 

I am a new set of front components away from what I feel is the ultimate setup for my car. And I'm not going to list everything I have.

L7s though?!, can't you guys dream higher than that? They get loud but they are not known for SQ. A Brahma is going to get loud as heck and still sound good.

BTW there is a really good baseball game on...if you're bored.

 

i would put a apline tv where the bose hu was, and put a nice alpine radio where the coin holder was. tvs in the headrests. uuhm maybe thats a little too much lol. i would love to have a system fiberglassed in the trunk but i dont know about doing it in a max

 

o yea television lol i forgot about that since i joined the org! lol

 

hmmm... these dream systems arent very entertaining guys. in regards to my dream system kicker is not even close. my dream system is one that sounds awesome to my ears and thats it. ive almost achieved that already.

 

ive never really heard any speakers except commercial speakers. eg rockfords audiobahns xplods, etc. ive heard friendhasmax sub and it sounds real good for a 10inc i think its a tarantual if he doesnt mind me posting info on his sub, but i think it sounds good at a low volume.

 

what the hell is a BRAHMA?

 

hey tek nig check out the thread by fosgate fan. o boy thats one bad FAWKIN SUB

 

http://www.acoustic-visions.com/~aco.../adire_brahma/

theres a brahma... one sub not to be messed with.

 

no **** I must have fallen back on my audio knowledge. thanx.

 

that looks like it could do some damage

 

what you guys think about the 10,000watt L7 18inch.









just kidding.

 

Though ive already stated my pick, the following I found quite comical. If I were looking to waste money, I might just think about getting one of these. http://www.thezeb.com/p-Audiobahn-AW...fer-100492.htm

 

ALLRIGHT stop right now. thats just ridiculous

 

I would have 2 DD 9512's, with Focal Polykevlar V2 components front, polykevlar midbass in the rear, and the alpine 9835 or some sexy head unit like that. For amps, I would run some crazy Brax setup.

thats definately a brahma

 

Mine would be Focal Utopias up front and Focal Coaxials in the back with a RE Audio XXX 10" (I want good strong bass, but not ridiculous). An Autotek 5-channel will power the system. All will be controlled by a Drivesoft in-car pc and an 8" touchscreen. Simple and refined.

 

Since this is a dream system and money is no object, why not call up Stephen at TC Sounds and have him build something custom based on the TC3HP motor.

the pioneer avic up from....mb quartz all around....2 13w7....2 jl 1000/1 and a jl 4 channel for the interior...plus no rattle.....

 

i think thats the sub some call the "uberwoofer". if it is that thing is a beast.

 

Denon Z1
Arc Audio DXE processor
Rainbow Reference components
3 Arc Audio XXK 2500 -1 for comps(125rms x2), 1 for each sub (~1200rms a piece)
2 Rainbow Pro Vanadium 12's
Stinger Expert wiring
Optima Yellowtop
3 Batcap Supercap 100's
TONS of Cascade V-Block, Quiet cote and Cascade VB1

 

what kind of db would you guys want?

 

My favorite System should consist of:

2 Arc XXK 2500 Amps
1 Arc XXK 4150 Amps
2 Diamond TDX Subs
1 Set Rainbow Components
1 Set Diamond Hex Components
Stinger Expert Wiring
Stinger 3 Farad Cap
Yellow Top Batt
Eclipse Head Unit Flip 7" DVD
2 Head Rest TV's

hold on.....I've got all this already......

Well I only need one more Amp and another TDX and i will be done.

 

id go with 2 12" Eclipse Titaniums... or 12JLw7..and a 15"er of some sort powered all by Orion XTR amps, 1000watts each at least. for internals i would keep what i have now, just amp them

 

I've seen the pictures of it on other car audio forums. Unfortunately, you have to know someone to get one. There was one bigger sub called "the beast" proposed at the Home Theater Forum. It never got out of the prototype stage though. Same basket except it was 18".

-Robert

 

not interested in db's- just godly SQ

 

i believe i know a man who had it and sold it. jlaine on si.net and ss3079 bought it from him. i dont know them personally.

 

That's the one I was reading about. I need to go back through my Speaker Builder magazine and scan in the advertisment from Tekton. 21" sub with 22mm xmax. The driver by itself weighed almost 100 pounds.

I've purchased subs directly from TC Sounds (through Stephen P) but nothing of that caliber. If my wife wouldn't kill me, I'd try ordering an uber-sub.

-Robert

 

how much does one of those uber sub costs? man you guys must really of sq to go that hard and get a sub

 

When the Tekton was being produced back in the late 80's/early 90's it was over $1,000 and had to be shipped from Europe. It was was one of the first high excursion subs ever. The TC Sounds models are a different story. Since they are really just a build house, we are getting them at a fraction of the cost. Also the more you buy, the cheaper they are. The cost of "The Beast" was going to be around $450-$500 but the guys needed about 50 of them ordered before TC Sounds would start to build them. For a while TC Sounds was selling TC2+ 12" drivers for $99 at one site. I really got lucky with my 15" TC Sounds subs. Stephen (an engineer at TC) built about 50 of them using surplus parts and posted on the Madisound board. Based on their T/S specs they were perfect for an infinite baffle installation. Now that it has cooled off, I'll be installing 4 of them in my attic.

When I got started in this hobby, I wanted it loud at the absolute cheapest price. I wasted more money going that route than I really want to count. Now I'd rather spend the money the first time and get something that is really high quality. Also, my wife has played the piano all of her life and there is no way I'm going to get away with crappy audio.

you guys talking big money here. the dream system is the one you could afford.







sorry I'm talking ****.................

 

wow. thats cool though that a lot of people with nice systems also have nice cars like maximas

 

the maxima community isnt only at top performance and looks. but also top sound techonology.

 

^^^^ excellent statement. too bad sometimes i wish i had an suv for my subs...
