hey just wondering what you guys think is the best sub and amp set up?

 

too many options, but i like mine.

 

if i would have money i would go with rockford fosgate... i wouldnt buy pioneer or sony..

 

its all in preference the question whats the best sub and amp...is just so vague. there are so many things in account. especially with a sub...usually you pick the subs you want and then an amp sufficient enough to power it

 

10% equipment; 90% install.
Expensive audio is worthless if it isn't properly installed.
Whatever your budget is...just make sure you get it properly installed.

There used to be a store called Traffic Jamz on Foothill around Boston years ago...I think it's a Al & Ed's Autosound now.
They can work magic with whatever budget you're working with.
They still have their Encino location. Give them a visit.

You're in LC...are you the white tC with roll call stickers?

 

hmmm yea its an al & eds now, its a small one tho. naw thats not me. you used to live in lc? oh man what a quiet town lol

 

JL audio Ftw

 

my budget is around $400. im leaning towards either the sony XS-L104P5B
or pioneer TS-W307D2/D4, TS-SW2541D btw

 

Haha yeah CVHS ftw lol!
Yeah its so quiet...when you get pulled over, 3-5 more police cars show up for "back up."

 

I double that

 

JL is good but wayy over priced... if your looking for a good sub, look up kicker, MTX, memphis or digital designs (DD) they make some awesome subs too! I would save up and plan on spending more than $400 for a setup, the install is gonna cost half of that alone!

 

The installation is the most important part of a great audio set up in my opinion.

A experienced installer can make your sh!tty Pyle subs and BOSS amps sound like heaven.

I don't understand why so many people drop so many bills on nice subs only to drop them in some generic prefabricated box that isn't going to bring out the best in the subs.

 

What do you want to do with your system?

Wake the neighbors? sound quality???

 

it really helps to learn how to tune a newly installed system to get that crisp sound. a good system tuned from the highs, mids, and low, no matter the budget, will always sound the best. the brand is just to personal preference and performance, just like cars

 

I have yet to try anything from Elemental Designs, but word on the forum is their stuff is quality and inexpensive.

 

MTX JackHammer! :D

Or this!

 

im gonna keep my oem speakers they are loud enough.

i heard a single rockford fosgate wich sounded the best so far.. so im sold............

here it is what i would get:

amp and encl. sub together is like $320 !!!!!

its should be more than enough for our little car...

and for 320... lol.. thats a really nice price!!!

 

not to be an ___,but those are the worst prefab boxes I have ever heard.
The MTX or kicker prefabs are alot better(to me)
I heard the RF with about 500 watts and it just didnt do it for me

 

look into DIRECTED AUDIO its not all popular but trust me ive had my sub for 2 years now and its still kicking like hell, rattled my whole damn trunck loose

 

yeah and rockford fosgate isnt as good as its cracked up to be
