Hey guys first of all want to thank all of you in advance I was planning on getting a jl setup for about that much but I have spoken to a few and they say I can get better for the same amount. I am looking to spend about 2000 in total (Including installation) So I would like some input on the systems, The system must hit harder AND clearer or if not at the same clarity as the 13w7. I am open to suggestions thanks.

 

sooo you just want bass or a whole system?

jl doesn't make headunits...

i just heard 2 fi Q 12s sealed and they sounded nice...or step up to 15s...there are tons of subs that are equal or better then the 'holy w7'

 

where are you located?

 

DD3512, the right box, and a beefy amp will definately make your eardrums go numb.

2k just for bass alone? or for highs as well?

 

Well ... you could start with this:

righttt... blow half his budget on 1 speaker.

 

Sure why not? Itll do what he wants and then some.

 

probably.

Don you got any good components collecting dust? sub $400 range? my buddy's in the market for something better than average.

 

Im sure I do, how soon is he ready?

 

Im looking for just bass, this is going to be hooked up to my BOSE headunit, becuase I like the stock look, Jus need BUMPING BASS so this should pretty much cover SUB, CAP, AMP WIRING. And Im located in Long Island New York

BTW if you are giving me a sub sugestion can you also suggest the right amp... That would be helpfull but thats alot for your input, keep them comming

 

And don I know your the man to go to when it comes to this stuff but 2000 for a sub alone is too steep, Im looking for 1800ish Sub and amp and if possible some wiring

 

i know you've probably heard this before but if you're going to spend 2000 you should really upgrade your hu/front stage also.

as for big bass, i would give you some suggestions but most of the subs i'm interested in i've never hear and i don't want to be one of those ppl who reccomends whatevers on the internet bandwagon.

 

I know what your saying about the HU but I really have a issue with cars not looking completely stock to the untrained eye

 

Silly man, thats the SRP. Im sure a sub/amp combo could be done for ya.

I bet I can do the UL12 and mate it with this:

And still make your budget.

 

Oh and it can be to you in a day.

 

2 grand just for bass? that's a nice budget...

and pleassssssse have someone competent do the install. you can spend all this money and if the install is crap...it will sound like crap.

 

I belive if I take this route don will do the install, right don?

 

You would be waiting awhile though my friend, Im fairly booked right now. Although it is fairly simple and straightforward ...

Unfortunately I cant say that the price would last long though.

 

Let me know whenever your ready

 

I am always ready my friend.

 

i think he meant let him know when you're not fully booked..

 

Yea thats what I meant...

 

Ahhh that wouldnt be until next month. Of course the drawback is that the price will only last til the end of this one.

 

If I were you Id invest in a good amp then a speaker. You need A LOT of power to push a W7. I mean A LOT. I have built competition systems to just stuff for the normal Joe and the most important thing is a amp.

Here are some drawbacks of running a W7. If you really want crazy bass you will need a lot of dynomat because the rattle will drive you crazy. Then you need good wiring run right, which means all wires need to be run separately or else you might get RF noise. The high pitched whine. Then you MIGHT need to upgrade your alternator and MIGHT need a separate battery and FOR SURE a 20 farad cap. Also a system is heavy, especially the big subs and the dynomat. You have to upgrade your suspension or else your back will lag. Finally you will notice you need more clarity because the bass will drown out the highs and will annoy you because noone can tell what song you are playing. Then you will need some more components etc and you will have spent 10-15K like me. LOLz. Well maybe less cuz I went custom fiberglass and put in screens. Haha.

 

That would def work but also get dynomat and a cap.

 

No dynOmat .. cascade.

 

Whatever gets rid of the rattles. Ever had your taillight fall off your car because the bass loosened the bolts? LOL! I have. My friend called me up and was like, "eh your left taillight fell off and is hanging man..." LMAO.

 

man hybrid, you are a trip.

 

Fixed..i'm ashamed of you Don!!!!

 

ooops

 

It's ok..even the DON is not perfect.

 

That's unacceptable.

 

You'll get over it.

 

and Im still helpless here...
