Looking for some help here. Keep in mind that I am car audio illiterate. I just want to hear my music (loud) and not be embarassed to show things off

I currently have:

I would like to use the inner driver's side of the trunk for a sub enclosure and replace the amp. I'm not opposed to losing the spare, but my goal is to free a little more trunk room as the current enclosure is in the trunk well. I can take pictures if needed. Down the road (not this time) I will upgrade those Infinity Components to MB Quarts

My local Car Audio store wants me to go with two 8" JL Subs and a full JL 600 watt amp for the whole thing - haven't really discussed pricing, but they know how I am

I don't want to come out of pocket more than $800 and I think I can sell the current enclosure and amp for $200-300, so figure $1,000 to play with total - including install.

Thanks in advance for any help - please remember that I am just about car-audio illiterate!

 

This sounds like a job for NFRS. Hold on to your pocketbook Poindexter!

This car is WAY too easy to spend money on, but man oh man what a car. It's totally crazy, I have never felt this way about a car before, and I've owned/worked on some classics.

 

wow... i should be able to help a bit with this... let me do a bit o'looking. if i don't answer sooner (vs later) bump cause i'm a dolt and forget these things...


and do you have to have it installed? or do you think you can do it yourself?

 

I'm going to have it professionally installed. A childhood friend of mine runs the local shop who has "audio-systemed my car up" for the last 8 years, and he's a big help!

He is pushing me toward JL on everything power and sub-wise.

Soundstream Tarantula TR700/2

its 175 x 2 @ 4ohms, which is perfect for the DVC ea sub....

Wiring, is another 40 bucks.

Add WLAURENTS enclosure, and you are WAAAaaaaayyyyy under the 800 dollar budget.

You can sink the amp all the way to the bottom of the toolwell, and keep 99% of the trunk!

And dont worry about buying off of ebay. I bought many things, and was quite pleased. Seller has 887 good reviews!

Good luck.

 

Aside,

NFRs2000NYC, what do you think of the e12A.22 sub?

 

Great sub.........but I though you wanted an 8"?

 

NFR that amp looks like it was an incredible deal! looks like that seller has a bunch of new amps at good prices.
