Well J, it looks like puddy an chili answered it for me. My biggest problems with RF are the fact that they are pretty easy to blow when they are brand new. Why the hell would I want a speaker I have to "break in". I also had alot of crackling in the 12's I had. They were professionally installed too. When we disconnected the Rf's and hooked up the Kickers, there was no crackle at all.

 

Maybe I've just had bad luck with them, but I'll never use RF again.

[boody]

4 15s in the trunk is what its meant for!

 

lol

[RNG187]

lol i called my friend and had the RF's cancelled and had four 12s ordered and installed so when i get back from vacation they'll be ready.

 

everybody, thank you for the advice and suggestions it's all been appreciated.

[BigMoneyNacku]

4 12's? Nice, you might wanna get a decible meter so you don't blow yer ears drums up. Go find some old DJ Majic Mike cd's. It will blow yer socks off dude. ;D

BUMP. getting a truck, fairly soon. after re-reading this thread i'm considering spending some SERIOUS coinage and picking up the MTX jackhammer. 22" sub. thoughts? comments? please.

[[*N*]CpT_NuTJoB]

I might be chiming in a little late here..

 

but in all honesty forget about what everyone has told you so far LOL

 

I run 2 different boxes.

 

1 sealed 2x12 for when I want heavy

1 ported for 12 <-- Louder then the 2 12's

 

for power 1 3000.1

+ 1 1500.1

http://www.massiveaudio.com/store/p-15001-amplifier-sold-out-c-251-p-1-pr-16163.html

 

Come spring I will be switching to the new DBlock 5000.1 x 2

 

I run the smaller 400.4 for the comp's

 

With the one 12 in a ported box I hit 132 bd last car show and took first in class.

 

It's loud enough to puncture an ear drum LOL (Done it)

 

Never mix sizes of speakers tho.. if you go 12's don't add 10's Maybe a 8 up front in the console for added bump. I also watch alot of movies in the car Eclipse Nav deck. might rip it al out this spring and put a 7 channel deck in for surround sound.

[RNG187]

pics? sounds sexy.

[[*N*]CpT_NuTJoB]

I would be happy to post pics.. But the car is in Storage >

 

 

Nothing really sexy about a sealed carpeted box LOL

 

 

I am working on a carbon fiber box. during the winter months

 

Head unit

It is not set in properly.. I threw it in quick before I took the dremel to the inside of the dash haha

 

 

 

Oh So SEXY !!!

 

I also have a thing for Pontiacs..

[STR8_HATE]

any recommendations?? i currently have an alpine stereo, but i want new speakers and possibly a sub or two. anybody have a suggestion/recommendation?

 

note: i'm driving an 03 cobra.

 

wait about a month for all the new shit to come out

 

[[*N*]CpT_NuTJoB]

Truck ?

 

Regular car Ext Cab 4 Door ?

 

How much coin you thinking and what are your limitations ?

[RNG187]

as of right now, i'm getting an 09 avalanche. BUT, i'm not 100% on this truck so if i were to find something i like better/is a better truck/makes more sense, i'd definitely switch.

 

coin: nothing more than 12k, limitations? well, i dont exactly have any.

[Bitter]

 

Should be your first song played imo.

If you are getting an Avalance Porting it is out of the question this is what I had in my Escalade.

But if u were getting a truck I would drop a box in the back and port the wall

[RNG187]

so basically, put that box in a wall?

and i was looking for something a little more powerful than maxing at 2400 watts. lol ;D

[[*N*]CpT_NuTJoB]

Yeah but that box is built for the best sound.. Sure you can buy the jackhammer but then you have to trust that the guy building the box knows what he is doing so you get the best sound

then ill make sure he's a GOOD professional, for something like that i'd leave jersey and go into NYC for something like this.

[[*N*]CpT_NuTJoB]

Is the cargo area important to you ?

 

Cause if it isn't Build a box back there and drop 2 jackhammers in there ... The box and cab are already ported for your listening pleasure

 

But in all honesty.. Please go listen to the 22' Jackhammer you might not like it. it isn't a 12 or 15 for that matter

[[odc]dragon74]

ok here goes,

 

first you are on the right step with a good deck(sterio){spelling sucks i know}.

next if you do decide to go with the big thump for speakers make sure you get a good pair. the way i had mine set up was the following

from the deck i ran rca cables to a realy good quality crossover switch(this will split all the freqs coming from the deck.) from that i sent cables to the amp that ran to 12" speakers for the base, and one set to the amp that ran the other speakers in the car(front and back speakers) this way i could seperat the mid range freqs and high freqs. you get a better balance this way.

 

also see if you can get a good quality fuse station. it will allow for 1 main feed line in from the battery that will feed up to 4 items off of it. this way you dont have 6-7 wires runing from your battery you only have one. you can use the same set up for all your grounding wires also.

 

hope this helps out. you can save alot of money if you do the wiring yourself. but if you go into a store and know what you are looking for you can save some money there also.

 

good luck,

[RNG187]

yeah cpt, i plan to when i find a good customs place in nyc. i'm not hooked on the cargo area, which is why i want to get something BIG. when i order the jackhammers(if i do), should i order the 2 or the 4? on the MTX website they said one is for "everyday use" and the other is for "competition."

[[*N*]CpT_NuTJoB]

You will get better Everyday sound out of a couple 12's or 15's IMHO
