^ Hence my point Steve.

I look forward to the installed pic's Neil. Next time just try to use a little tacked.

 

"However, that said... I'll be damned if someone new to the board is going to come into this forum and act like a jerk, be it towards Dave " this would be defending dave - also what right does Dave have to say " wouldnt be surprised if you got banned within the next month" He has no more rights saying this than I saying it......


Dude i don't need to point out dave's posts do i??

and yes most alarms are not the best BUT in all honestly something is better than nothing

furthermore, why ask what GroovyNeilNeil's qualifications are to quantify his statement to dave

What is your ultimate goal for your bass? The kicker sub is going to give you very loud, sloppy, boomy bass. That is probably why Dave calls it "garbage" (also, the build quality for the money is not great, but it is okay -- certainly above average IMO). If that description appeals to you go for it.

Sound quality and volume are almost opposites with bass. For the most volume (SPL) you almost guarantee that you will hear "one note" bass (that is, the sub will really only produce bass at one frequency with varying volume). If you want more musical bass (bass that fills in the low end of your music) you want smaller subs (yes, two) that are more efficient and in sealed enclosures. Ported enclosures with bigger SPL-focused subs will blow your head off in this car, which can be fun for sure, but that's not what most of the regulars here prefer. We like our music to sound as good as possible.

For my money I'd make the 10" sub work. Why the hell not? For the same quality and similar price, get the bigger one and turn the sub output down on your headunit if you need to.

Hey, could we please get this back on topic!


Ha Ha! just kidding. I can't wait to hear the report on this weekends tuning event at Johns! Or better yet, I can't wait to see the spy photo's of John's car.

 

Yeah great encourage him... thanks a lot

 

I can hear it now.


John: That sounds Great!

Steve: That sounds like crap!

John: No, it sounds great!

Steve: Hey, it's my car it sounds like crap!

John: I think you need to change the front and rear speakers to Alpine!

Steve: No, they sound like crap!

I think it's time for more

Have fun boys!

furthermore,

 

I don't have much hands-on experiance...however I have been reading and studying up on Car Audio for about the last 4 years. I've also gone through several system changes (trial and error just like everybody else). What I say about car audio is strictly biased and holds no credibility, but isn't that the same about all opinions?

I'd get the 8" L7 and have a 1 cubic foot box built to spec and you'll be good to go.
