hey guys i got a quick question. I just want to have one 12 inch Subwoofer and amp without having to replace the stock head unit. maybe some dyna mat in there as well. Can anyone help me out here?

Ideas?

12'' JL audio W3v2

500 watt amp? (not sure how much needed)

speakers if i can get them at a good price.

 

well it depends on how much bang you want, are you trying to have a hi fidelity sound system or are you trying to shake other peoples rear view mirrors? you can get a pretty good sounding system for under 400 bucks if you do the install yourself. i picked up two 1200 watt sony 12" subs. all you need is a good Hu with a built in amplifyer and a low pass& high pass fader. i programmed my pioneer to use the stock speakers as mid-highs and pass all lower frequencies to my 1000 watt amp thats running the subs. now i can turn it all the way up and not blow anything.

 

i just dont want it so loud that my car just rattles and sounds like shit. i want enough to make people take a look to hear where the bass is coming from. and i honestly have no freaking clue what you explained. noob terms if possible?

 

my bad, i tend to get fancy shmancy with my terminology when it comes to audio, if you just want a Clear and loud stereo apposed to Rattling madness i say go with a head unit kind of like this one http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16882117099 . that Head unit will work with an amp because it Has 3RCA outs, the Rca outs are what send the signal to an External amplifyer. a High pass filter basically tells ceartain speakers to only make the HIGH frequencies of sound without the lower ones like bass. a Low pass filter does the exact opposite, most amps have a built in High and Low pass filter, but i dont recommend using ONe amp for your whole set-up. So just buy one amp for your sub, and buy a HEad Unit that has a built in amp thats like 50 watts X 4 and use that the run your stock speakers. then use the amp to power your sub. im willing to help some more, i know this stuff isnt that easy to get the first time around.

 

hahahaha...

it's so funny how people read what they want to read now-a-days... I thought carlsbadTL said he didn't want to change the head unit (HU)....

real Quick...
All you need is a LOC from navone engineering www.autosound2000.com model number NE-7V... hook that up to the speaker wires going to/hooked up to the factory subwoofer... then run the RCA from the LOC to your new amplifier... and then the speaker wires, from the amp, to your new subs in a box...

You'll get the remote turn on from fuse number #32 in the under dash fuse box or just tapping into the wire (white one) on the cigarette lighter...

Done...

 

prob easiest way to get there...

needs more cowbell?

 

your right rod, sometimes i get over zelous when it comes to audio but thanks for helping em out before i looked even stupid-er.

 

you may make music, but your last 2 posts didnt make sense

 

LOL, thats pretty funny

 

so is this the same thing as the LOC? which i still dunno exactly what it is?

Wouldn't an amplifier with speaker level inputs do the same thing as a LOC (and save on $$ and simplicity of install?)



Thanks for the fuse number, I was just going to look into that today. lol.
