Right now I've got 4 components hooked up to a 4channel amp and an aftermarket HU with my stock subwoofer disconnected. Just picked up a mono amp and was wondering what kind of subwoofer setups you guys all have.

Should I find a small sub and replace the stock one or just forget about it and get a box for the trunk?

 

head unit Kenwood Excelon KDC-X492
two Kenwood KDC-W3011 12-inch subs in a ported box
Kenwood KAC-8104D 1000 watt peak power amp
1 fared capacitor

 

2 12 inch rockford p3s powered by a 500.1 fosgate power amp. Looking for a pdx 1.1000 to replace it

 

2 12' JL W3V2's in JL red carpet box
JL 500/1
JL 400/3
Bose stockies (been holding up good, clear crisp sound the subs do the rest)

 

Pics along with it would be nice.

 

You won't have much luck replacing the stock sub. Go with a box.

Here's my sub setup, although it's a 3G-(JL Audio 10w6, Alpine PDX 1.600 amp):

 

Eclipse head deck
MB Quartz Front
Infinity Rear
Bose 8"sub

 

see my sig...been rocking for 5+ years. I would not try and put in a new one in the stock location - if you want to save space just get 1 sub in a sealed box and go with it. My box is only about 2 cubic feet total - I have the big amp mounted on top and the sub amp on the side so it really does not take up that much space. I have the navigation unit and the box comes out to about 1/2 the depth of the navi unit.

 

sorry no pics... everything stock with rockford fosgate 600 watt amp hooked up to a JLW6V2 in a slotted box... its definitely enough bass for me and i still have plenty of room in my trunk

 

3 Batteries (2 yellow tops, one acura)
All 0 Gauge wiring to alternator/battery and all important grounds are 0 gauge, all wiring is tsunami
Total of 6 gold battery terminals and 4 distribution blocks
LED display ANL fuse holder by tsunami
2 power acoustic OV15500d's strapped to a 1.5ohm load (biampable)
2 JBLW15GTi woofers 5000 Watts a piece in a pretty basic box, ported, running at the aforementioned 1.5ohms (each coil is 6 ohms) when I competed I was around 148 or so, with my back seats out of the car and the subs facing the cabin. It wasn't a very "musical" setup, just loud. I dont compete anymore tho so I have it around 145 now wih the seats in and such, subs facing the trunk.

960/4 Amp running highpass for my highs

highs are infinity kappa components in the front
infinity kappa coaxials in the back with a jbl gto tweeter.
all tweeters are flush mount, like they should be. (stop sticking tweeters on your A pillar)

20 Farad Capacitor
Memphis 9volt Line driver
Custom amp rack with blue neon
headrest screens (8inches)
Rearview mirror screen (7inches)
xbox360 with 170Watt inverter
JVC double din usb/dvd headunit

Im sure I missed something but oh well, thats most of it.

 

Check out my signature, still need to cover my box and trim it out too!

 

What a sig. I currently hav a 12" kicker cvr box wit a JL amp nailed on the back. CVR subs ftw

CVR>CVX

 

I had 2 CVR 12s and my 15 blows them out the water

 

How many 15?

 

just a single 15 its in the pic

 

Alpine CDA-9887 (head unit)
Alpine MRP-M1000 (mono sub amp)
Alpine MRP-F300 (4 Ch. amp)
Power Acoustik 2.0 Farad capacitor
MB Quart RVF 164 Midbass speakers (front door)

Infinity Reference silk dome tweeters (front door)
Alpine Type S coax speakers (rear doors)
Alpine 12" type X subwoofer in a sealed custom enclosure
about 60 sq ft. of Elemental design eDead V1SE

 

eleventure did you take out your spare?

 

Im guessin no. Amps arent that thick. But i cud be wrong since amps r diff sizes

 

Yes, well actually when I purchased the car the spare had a gash on the sidewall so it was useless anyways. So i chucked all those parts. Plus my car is too low to fit the floor jack.

 

check the sig. got it done about a month ago. loving every minute of it

 

^^why not the CVX's?

 

Adire Brahma II, 12" 1.3 cu. ft seal box heavily braced, 4 ohm set-up, Audison VRX1.500.2 amp:

 

Update on mine

 

Here is my last set up 2 dc audio level 3's alphasonik pma1200da and a custom box i built. way into the 140's db's. Meant for output not looks.

 

Very nice n clean setup. I'm new wit all of this but just wondering if the bazookas 10" pre amped tube is any good? My cousin was giving it to me since he bought 2-10" for his car any inputs? Thanks

 

I wouldnt even mess with bazookas man!!

 

a tube will be ok if u dont want to much bass

 

Yea but why not just get a decent 8" or 10" and sound cleaner

 

well for space i had one in my old camaro when i was in high school but soon went for a custom setup for more sound.

 

i only need one amp for a 10" setup right? any suggestion for a setup? preferably one 10" sub and amps to go with it... im really likin PRINCELYBUG's setup its clean and does not take space

 

I would recommend a Diamond D3 10" and the Diamond D1 400.1 or the D3 600.1 amp. They are damn good subs, sound and price wise!!!

 

I just did a buttload of work to my 2002 TL a few weeks ago. Went with an Eclipse Double Din, that has nav, bluetooth, xm and ipod controls. The amps are both US Amps. One is a 750 W RMS mono block that powers a single 12" RE Sub in a sealed enclosure, and the other is a 4 channel 300W RMS going to Infinity Kappa Components. I also added a Shuriken battery, which powers it all and has 0 Gauge running to the main battery. All of my ham radio gear is also tapped into this auxillary battery, and have remote heads mounted up front. (No bulky radios to mount, just the faces) As soon as I become a real member (15 days), I'll post some photos. You can also view them on my facebook page. (facebook.com/dtipton)

 

i just got the aftermarket pioneer n3, now my stock sub isn't working, i want to get a built in amp bazookas, anyone want to install it for me? i'm willing to pay.

PM ME!!!!!!

 

dont buy that crap

 

haha i know, but i don't need a lot of bass. just a bit if more than enough for me =)

 

So run a single 8 on a couple hundred watts... It'll sound cleaner, play lower, and get louder if/when you want it to than the bazooka tubes, plus it'll look a whole hell of a lot better...

Dont waste your money on that shit bro, do it right the first time and have some nice clean sound and be able to pop your trunk and be proud of it not embarrassed.

 

damn nice bro, similar to my own set up

 

^^Post it and let us see!
