Hey all I have decided I wanted to do a system in my 2k2 maxima..
Anyways talking to a few people about this.. Made me want to decide ..

I want the Rockford Fosgate 1500BD AMP

but i cant decide on the subwoofers.. I want two 12's
My choices In mind were the HX2's which can hold up to about 1000watts a piece.. or the Power series 12's .. I am going to do a Fiberglass box with custom amp racks etc.. Please let me know what you guys think on this setup.. and which of the 2 subs would you prefer..

 

You will find more help in the Audio Forum. Try asking this question in there.

 

oh wow..that's gotta hurt ur gas mileage! j/k.

i'd go with JL subs.

 

JL 12' W6's?

 

why not?

 

good luck with w6's, but you might want to look at the w3's. and if you got the bank and don't mind the weight ... w7's. There are other good subs out there, but post this on the audio forum. you will get more help there.

 

hey what kinda girl is posting all these performance and mod questions? Post your pic hun with your ride so we can take a look at you both.

 

well I have a webpage on me.... and pictures on there about my old car.. here is the address...

holy schnikes!!! Are you still 17?

Guys check it out, her ride is slammin'. This is as good as it will ever get here, a hot girl and a hot ride. I can barely withhold myself from recital of one famous song....is that your previous ride? Very nice. Both of you.

 

lol thanks... I have plans for the maxima to make it even better...

 

OP!

 

Maybe its time to leave NJ.

Any reason you went from IS300 to a 2k2 Max?
The RF's HX2 are purely (IMHO) for high dB's, not as much for SQ.

If you want SQ, look at the JL's. JL W3 and the W7's.

I have listen to the Kicker L7's and am not that impressed at all.

I use to do a lot of custom audio installs (certified for custom emclosures) and JL's were very popular for having great SQ & still able to hit very high dB's on compitition. RF's are just plan nasty (as in brutal).

 

Well The IS 300 wasn't all that Quick.. and the Maxima is a lot

faster... And More room.. And I felt like my IS 300 was Fragile

like I was going to brake it .. The Kit was Fiberglass very easy to

break. Don't Get me wrong it was a nice car.. But I love my Maxima.

Parts are cheaper now.. and Nissan service people are nicer.. And of

course all you Nissan owners are hell of a lot nicer than those

snobby stuck up LEXUS boys.. LOL.. anyways we won't get into that.

But Which Subwoofers do you think will hit hard but yet sound clear.

and a decent price.. I had the 15W3's in my IS 300 .. I liked them..

I know for sure I want the Rockford Fosgate 1500BD amp... well let me know.

 

uhm....are you looking for a brother, by any chance? I don't mind being adopted

 

No, But a b/f .. lol

 

I would go with Image Dynamic's IDMAX12's. I was just reading an article about them in "Car Stereo Reviews Mobile Entertainment" and the writer of the article said that they were the best subs that he has heard. They are a little pricey at $450 each (retail).

 

hey where can I see some pictures of these subs??

any websites?? thanks

 

Well, I couldn't really find any good sites on these subs, but here is a little bit about them in the magazine that I was talking about.

http://www.m-emag.com/columns/columns.html?columnID=68

If you go to your local bookstore you could probably take a look at the article, I'm pretty sure that it was the February issue.

 

I wouldnt stand a chance, my Max isn't modded and I am over 21. But if you likes, you could send me an email we can talk about it

 

I like the Image Dynamics Subwoofer.. I am really interested in it.. Very nice.. I found them cheaper for about $300

and If I got this Sub.. which AMP should I use?? the watts on these

subs go up to 1500watts DAMN! LOL I Like them . hehe

 

Damn the Org also plays Match Maker???

 

Move to NJ.

Anyways, from my experiences, ID are great subs. They are very clean sounding. THey can provide some hard hitting bass.

I also like MMats subs. They are just plain loud.

I think JL's might be your best bet for loud dB's & great SQ.

I have also gotten a few chances to play with the Xtant subs. They are very very clean & provide great hard hitting bass.

There are many subs. When you listen to themin a room, it will sound different vs inside a car. The cabin in a car is waaay smaller, therefore sounding louder.

For any amps, i would consider a 1 channel amp. I would even consider using a cheater amp if you want multiple subs.

 

hahaha.. I was just going to say that also....

 

since everyone is like OT anyways... maxgirl, did yr parents buy yr old IS300 or did u pay for it yourself? & does yr parents pay for all the $$ you're buying for your car?

 

My dad is a dealer so I made payments to him for my IS 300... and I payed for all the stuff on the car.. as for the maxima that was my gradutaion present and once again I pay for all my aftermarket stuff..

 

Here are a couple of sites that have a lot of reviews on stereo equipment.

http://www.elitecaraudio.com/home/html/
http://www.termpro.com/

I'd probably get 1 phoenix gold zpa 0.5 per sub. But if u were looking for spl, then I'd probably get a crossfire bfd1000. I forgot the model number on the crossfire, but it's somethin like that.

 

I'm 17 & I have no $$ for mods & my mom just stopped driving the maxima so I got it.

 

If you have a max why do you have a pic of a van on your sig pic?

 

damn justina ur a cutieeee. with a nice car too lol. I got my 01 max loaded SE for graduation too, hehe. You should move to NY

 

I remember when I graduated back in 91...I migth have got a couple of hundred bucks....but NO DAMN CAR! It would probably help if I had GPA higher than 1.7!!!

Well...anyways! Congrats on the new car! I am glad to hear that you like it better than the is300.

Since the org is looking for donations....how about raffle off a date with Justina! j/k

 

beutiful women and beutiful cars, there's nothing better

i have a jl 15w3d4 and love it, if you don't mind the weight, i'd get this or the 12w3, i'm looking forward to seeing pics of the finished product

 

I got two hx2' 15 and i am pushing them with a 1000bd amp and i am happy with it i set alarms off blocks away

 

dont worry about what the maximum watts are when looking for subs, always look at the RMS watts

 

i wish i could get a kick *** system but here where i live they hand out tickets for noise disturbances

 

Hey everyones talking about subs but what about components. which are the best?,I've go OZ audio 6.5 but have not installed them yet

 

Rainbow makes really really good components. On a less expensive scale, "Car Stereo Reviews Mobile Entertainment" did a review of 3 different component sets in their February issue. One of them was Diamond.... the other were made by Kicker, and the third was made by I think MB Quart. The Diamond components were about $150 or so less than the other two, and they came out with the best rating.

 

click on my profile, max picture there. & my max IS in the picture, see the mirror on the left corner of the pic? well thats my max, I was driving when my friend took it thru the passanger window
