I just purchased my new subs and amp for my xb. I've never had a nice system in any of my cars before so I'm pumped.

Subs: 2 12' Polk Audio DB212 http://www.polkaudio.com/caraudio/specs/db212
Amp: Infinity REF1211A - http://www.infinitysystems.com/caraudio/product.aspx?ProdId='REF1211A'&Ser=REF&Cat=AMP

It's gonna be sweet. Getting it installed this weekend.

 

congrats on the purchase! putting them anywhere cool or jsut a standard enclosure?

 

Awesome!!! congrats on the purchase....

 

sweet! can't wait for some pics..

 

New systems rock! Congrats. I just got mine a little or two weeks ago.

 

Congrats man I remember the feeling I had when I had my 1st system installed.. Best of luck, enjoy..

 

sweet! you're gonna love it!

 

Sounds like a great system. I've had Polk for my home system for 20 years and they still kick major a$$!

Nice!

 

I want to build a custom enclosure. Like a 'V' shape with the subs sticking out of the sides. Going to wait a little bit to save some money.

I want to remove the blue neon light on the amp and replace it with a green one to match the green lights in my car. I don't know if I can do it or not. Can't wait! I left all of the stock speakers and the stock deck cuz they work just fine for now.

 

You may want to save up a bit more as once you have the subs hooked into the system, you will start to look at replacing the stock deck and/or speakers. Playing with a good sub setup is like buying the xB... you'll get the mod bug soon.

Edit:

Oh yeah... You may not be able to replace the blue with green without opening up the amp. What I would recommend doing is just pick up a couple green cathodes and power them with the turn on lead going to the amp via relay circuit. Stick the cathodes under the amp and let the light glow out from underneath. Make sure the amp is mounted at a slight angle with the appearance of floating above the subs... that will make the look even more dramatic.

 

The stock speakers, being efficient, will get brighter after you amp them. I kept my stock head unit when I first upgraded to my Memphis gear but I went with Memphis speakers all the way around.

For your sub enclosure I would say go talk to Tom @ Listen Up! in Phoenix. I've sent many people there and all of them are happy. He'll build it for your equipment so you get the most out of it.

Oh yeah.... When I upgraded to my Eclipse head unit last month it was like getting a completely new system. The change was that dramatic.

 

That sounds cool. They told me they are going to mount it on the back of my seat, I'll ask them tonight is they can get it mounted over the subs somehow. Do they just need a rack or something to sit the amp on?

 

Yeah, they can build a floating rack out of 16AWG metal plates (road signs *cough*). Paint and mount the steel to some metal tubing via welding or similar. Use a solid mount so the amp doesn't "swing" around in the back. I can guarantee it will cost more, but it will look very slick when it's done.

 

nice. i got mtx subs. check em out.
