For now.

2 12" Arc Audio Kars
Rainbow SLC265 Comps.

Still unsure of how the Arc's are gonna hit especially with 250watts rms each (i know i know watts arent everything), but coming from 1000watt SPL monster Kicker 15" L7, i hope i dont lose too much low end. cant wait to install.

 

Sweet, Ray. It's gonna sound great.

I've used both products with very high satisfaction.

In fact, I've still got my rainbows.



...for now

 

what size/type of box for the kicker, and for the 12's?

^had that ebay box with the kicker with a Rockford 1000bd amp. As far as the Arcs go, most likely ill go with sealed, from what everyone is telling me, it'll hit tighter.

 

hm...I assume it had a "high" tune because its an ebay box so if you build a large enough sealed box the low end should own the 15 with ease.

 

and if it doesnt can i blame you.

 

nah...then stuff the box with polyfill.

 

I was also lookin at the Planet Audio P-850D amp, think that'll be decent for the subs?

 

whats the budget?

 

well not tryna break the bank at the moment, it just sucks not having any music in the car right now, all i have to listen to is the exhaust, couple of people recommended the Planet Audios cause there good amps with sometimes underrated power? ah well, i woulda probably gotten it for about $225 i think?

 

eh, I'd look elsewhere. I have rear fill in my car and thats it...I know the feeling. check with Don or check crutchfield or sounddomain for some good deals. yes, once in awhile a good deal can be found on crutch.

 

lol rear fill better than nothing, when i unhooked my solo, i dunno wtf i did, but now im gettin that high pitch whining noise in my interior speakers that gets higher toned the higher your rpm goes, and i cant take it so i just drive with the radio off.

 

sounds like alternator whine...

 

yea, ill probably deal with that when i put in everything. also i came across an Elemental Designs NINe.2X amp for $250, that sound decent?

 

nice sub

how much power are you going to feed your SLCs?

 

unfortunately at this moment i only have a lowly Clarion APA450 Amp gonna be pushing them.... for now...
50 x 4

 

ah, not too bad

i'm sure they'll still perform nicely with 50 going to them. i'm quite eager to put my SLC's in as well.

 

Bridge the amp to the comps. You'll be fine. Don't get the ED nine.x amp.

 

SLCs ftmfw. sound better and better every day!

 

y not the ed??

 

dam nice subs and components man. Your ears will thank you

btw your going from an L7 to a Kar series sub??... I guess you want more clarity?

 

but if i bridge the amp doesnt that mean technically it'll be a 2 channel and my back doors wont play?

 

yea honestly i still love the 15" L7, but sometimes it just seems that it keeps tripping over itself in fast paced music, plus it engulfed my entire trunk.

 

Run the rears off your HU

 

ahh yes, you are a smart man.

 

Or just dont run rear speakers at all, like me

 

nevar! Im nice to my rear passengers.

 

Theres also that Alpine amp being sold, 500watts @4ohms and 1000@2. That should be good to push it also yes?

Off-topic:

The same day i got this stuff, we took my old system out and put it in my friends car. Lets just say, a pliers, cutting tool, AND a hammer was needed to get it in.

Heres the video

and heres the pic of the outcome.

 

Ya, alpine amp is pleeenty

 

damn really beat up that bumper to get it in huh Ray?

 

lol gotta do what ya gotta do to make things work sometimes.

 

Man that trunk lid is gonna come off with that beast poundin on it..

 

if your talkin about the accord, eh i wouldnt be surprised, that car falls apart all over. :X

 

Those subs are good ish. I've got them and they hit nice and crisp.

 

i hope so i guess i finally outgrew the pounding/rattling every panel of my trunk/fenders bass, i just need some bass to pound with my music, but hey, ill still turn it up cause i like my music loud too.

 

lol where have you been? i haven't seen you post in like 6 months, more.

 

Is that the RAC on Livingston in your sig?

 

Loooks like it...probably from an old maxima meet.
