denalilvr

its really hard to say for ezact, but i contacted ant the owner of SS to see what he would say and he said to around 300 sq ft would do for my truck which is a gmc denali...what i plan on doing is doing the whole back part the roof,the hatch,the sides all 2 layers since thats where the heavy rattling will be and then my doors im doing 1 layer..it can get really expensive but so damn worth it..click the link in my sig about ss and scroll down to see the vids you wont believe your ears..lol

well unlike best buy and other box shops, Most audio shops charge by the hour. Install costs are normally the most expensive part of any custom project. I'm not against sound deadening, but in all of the escalade builds I have seen it is very minimal due to the efforts cadilac put into reducing road noise. one thing I forgot to mention, most audio shops offer a discount on the labor rate if you bought the equipment from them. back about 5 years ago i had a 1999 denali and in it they installed 4 jl audio w7's,5 autotek amps,2 sets of component speakers,flip out head unit,flip down tv,all around dynamat,alarm,, and highout alt, and box, and charged me $2000 for the install..and they had my truck for 2 weeks..only because it took forever for ohio generators to send my alt..we waited about 8 days for it..

well if he chooses to only do fronts id go with boston pro60's for about $250

well we have gone over this you only do the front and i choose to do the whole truck..and whats wrong with 2 15's for sq? let me guess your going to come with a whole diy setup for the guy..lol

what my point is this..i know there are budgets set, but whats the point of setting a budget that may not please you with what you get? so instead of just buying what you can afford spend a couple extra hundered dollars and make sure you get the right stuff the first time around..i think install for that equipment shouldnt go higher then $1700

Yet you forgot to tack on an extra 8-16 hours for the damplifier so another 600-1200dollars just in labor for sound deadening? i think around $1500 will be enough for installation..plus any place that charges $1200 for sound deadening install needs to be shot..

id go with 2-15'' icons-$538 1-kicker zx1500.1-$350 2 sets for front and back-JL AUDIO XR650-CXI $330 1- 4 channel kicker 650.4 $200 Alpine CDA-9885 head unit $200 yellow top battery under the hood $175 160sq ft of damplifier $376 $2169

good work man..08 altimas are phuckin sweet..fast too..i bet your already drawing out your system for that car..lol

looks good man

ya man if you got the cash to throw a layer on there it would be great..although i would only do the regular damplifier there i dont think i would go pro unless i really had some cash to devote to it..im only going pro on the back where i will really need it everywhere else im going regular..

goodluck with the build man, looking forward to the pics and results..

time will tell..lol

if its for your speakers may i sugguest http://www.soundsolutionsaudio.com/shop/in...mp;productId=35

ive never once heard a stroker sound good...and ive heard alot of them..plus they are not knowin for and are not made for sq..just made to be loud...sometimes they dont do a good job at that..lol

on my truck im doubling up on the roof,the back door to where i open to get to the system,and the sides from where the back door begins and work my back to the tail light will all be doubled..for my doors im doing single layer

i take it you want pure spl and dont care for sq?

i love those xtant amps and the idmax subs they look great

damn 4-500 each and they had everyone smiling..i cant wait till you guys get this baby hooked up with some power..

oh, well then i was right..lol

What do you mean by more info? I'd lurk on ZaphAudio and read all of his reviews...look on Madisound for what fits into the budget... when you said diy first thing poped in my mind was mixing and matching certain components..lol

well since hes new i dont think he really knows much about a diy speaker set..to be honest i dont think i really know much about a diy speaker set..can you give more info?

i cant really comment on cadence speakers but ones that i do like are jl audio and boston accoustics they both make great speakers..here check out this site to get an idea of the different kinds of speakers out there, keep in mind you can get most of them from ebay much cheaper..so if you see something you like dont be deterred from it because of the price http://www.woofersetc.com/index.cfm

you know whats funny is that in those vids the subs are only getting about what 600 watts? imagine when they are fully powered with about 1000-1200 watts each

whats your budget for speakers?

thats crazy man <-- heres a big ice cold mug of pepto bismol for ya
