hey,
i want to add bass to my car and i am wondering what system people recommend. i was gonna get a basslink, but i think i want to shake the neighborhood more than that...i am not trying to spend a lot of money, can i get a good system for like 400-600? i live in the rockville, MD area, are there any stores you recommend. i have been told to avoid best buy and places like that, but i dont know anything about car audio...thanks

 

I'd go Eclipse I've had 2 Accords I've installed Eclipse systems in and I'm planning on my next Accord to put a bigger Eclipse system in it.
Now I'll admit they're are a little more each speaker but their quality is top rank.
My friend is a big Pioneer fan he got a new Premier CD player and I went to a Eclipse/Pioneer dealer and I was checking out their new products(I was bored and had nothing to do and i was in that area of town) He said I'll be honest with you man. I'll sell you either headunit(Eclipse or Pioneer) but I have probably 5 times more warrenty claims. He said plus Eclipse warrenty is better 3 years if they(the audio shop) install the headunit.
so my suggestion to you is try to get either 10s or 12s 86000 series.(these are the "cheap-os" subs of eclipse but they're still good). the reason I suggested you these is if your on a budget.
If your saving like me for my new Accord system you could get the a set of 12 DVD titaniums(those are like 800-900 bucks each ) but oh my GOSH they are loud. they'd wake up neighbors 3 blocks away

 

Do a single 12" JL 12W3=$150 + JL 250/1 Mono amp=$350.........Thats what I'm gonna do!!!!!!

 

go with kicker! they won't let u down.

 

i'm doing a 12" mbquart sub running off either a phoenix gold ms275 or ms 2125.

 

2 12'' Kicker Comp VR. Kenwood 800watt.

 

Everyone has their favorites..... lol

 

i am selling 2 brand new in the box, never used Kicker Comp VR 12's

 

rockford fosgate high energy subs blow the doors off anything else on the market if you ask me. and they look damn good too. throw them on a rockford fosgate punch 1000.1 amp and you got a seriously nice combination.

 

Infinity perfect 12 with sealed box for sale 200$

 

Kicker and JL sound tight, don't buy a woofer bigger than 10" if you like clean sharp bass. (if you listen to a lot of hard rock music get 10's) If you like the boomy bass get 12's (rap, techno) 12's sound real muddy compared to a 10's and well 15's ummm... I'd say RAP only

I have 2 10" JL's in the back of my CLS, It sounds great accept for the spolier which rattles.

However I just as highly recommend Kicker. Both drivers sound great. And both will take some serious beating!! (trust me, heh)

Good luck and Happy bumping!
