Silverado23

Ok... I have Decided FINALLY. Im going with Two 12" MTX Thunder 8500's. (500rms,1000peak). Hopefully my man mrray13 will be able to hook me up with a nice box for my truck!! BTW... You are hard to get a hold of. So my last concern is my Amp(s). I want a really good Amp that can handel my 8500's, and then something smaller for my speakers but im not even sure what ill need because i have like 6 speakers in my truck, four up front, and two in the back (i think). so it cant be some baby amp, its going to have to be "semi-serious". Any suggestions, fell free to drop your 2 cents...

I Think i might go with Two 12" MTX Thunder 7500's...With Dual Voice Coils OR I Might go with the Mach 5 Maw12... im just not sure... Im getting aftermarket speakers and hopefully tweeters.... Soooo would it be smarter to get a seperate Amp for speakers and tweeters? or can i just get one Amp with enough power for the subs... And then some ( For the speakers and tweeters).

BTW... im from MD too, You ever heard of Montgomery County?

Thanks, im sure your going to laugh when i ask this question... But how can i go about contacting this mysterious mrray13? Also, if i were to go to a car audio shop, what should i expect to pay for a "custom box" for Two 12's (for a truck)? Thanks man

To help a little more, like i said before i dont want to spend more than $1000 Custom box... Two 12" Subs... 1 Amp (Enough to power subs, and then some..) Wiring kits...

So im not hearing too many good things about MTX... but thats ok because i didnt have my heart set on them. My box is not going to be cheap due to the size... it will hopefully house 2 12" subs... but i want the subs under my rear bench seat. Again, i have a 2004 Chevrolet Silverado (Ext cab) Which has a rear one piece bench seat... i have no idea which way would be more beneficial as far as sound quality goes.... to have them face upwards towards the seat, or outwards facing the driver, and passenger seats. Can someone give me a rough ballpark of what it would cost to get a box built for two 12's, and cover it in a plain or designed material? As far as the Subs, Can anyone give me some names and series of what you would reccomend for my ideal setup. Im hoping to get away with only using one Amp... im going to get aftermarket speakers as well, but im not worried about that right now. Between Two Subs and some good speakers, what will i need as far as Amps? If their are any good sites for me to view these products that you reccomend please let me know... Thanks for any advice

Hey, First of all let me say that i am new to this forum, and i have been doing as much reading as possible. This Forum is soooooooo helpful, props to whoevers in charge. My first subs that i owned were Rockford Fosgate p2's, i had them running with a Rockford Fosgate amp as well. I made the huge mistake like everyone else, and i decided to go through best buy about 2 years ago to get my subs etc.... Dont get me wrong, they have nice stuff, its decent, but not what im looking for right now. I have a 2004 Extended cab silverado, and i want to put two 12's under the back bench seat ( if possible ). If not, i might have to work with something else. I have heard a lot of MTX's in a couple of my friends cars, and i was just wondering what people have to say about MTX, and if anyone could reccomend some good 12'" MTX subs. I want really good subs, nothing too crazy, but something that will be heard from far away and that hits hard. If MTX isnt the way to go, what would you reccomend for a truck? So its simple, i need two 12" subs, preferbally MTX Thunders, and one really good amp, that has enough power to take care of my subs, and eventually speakers etc... Total all in all im looking to spend between $650-$875... Obviously i am going to get a DVD unit, or a head unit, so betweet that and a custom box, im expecting to spend around GIVE or TAKE $1,300.... LIKE I SAID BEFORE, I DONT WANT ANYTHING TOO TOO CRAZY, BUT I WANT SOMETHING THAT WILL KILL ANYTHING THAT BEST BUY OR CIRCUIT CITY HAS TO OFFER... Please feel free to drop your two cents!!! i need as much advice as possible!
