I've been into car audio for a year and a half and i have alot of people fooled with what i do know for being into it for such a short period of time. for starters i drive a 2000 oldsmobile alero. for a deck i have a Pioneer Premier DEX-P1R, Some VR3's in the back deck... (you'll know why i went so cheap in a minute....). and a Memphis EQ50 in the dash. for the bass i have a 15" Pioneer Premier TS-W8102SPL in a crappy 2.75 cu.ft' box, (my 12th box but first 15") i redid the calculations and it's about 67 hz. lol. but regardless with the box falling apart and the car built the day before comp i hit a 139.1 at the dash (termpro) i've since built a new box thats 1.5" MDF and 8 cubes tuned to 36 Hz for real. it weighs around 300lbs im just waiting for some warm waether to take the door off,and back seats out tp put the beast in. powering in i have an audiopipe AP30001D and for power i have 1 run of zero (plan on doing 3 of each front to back and an irragi 300 amp alt., $599) 2 stinger 5 farad caps and a kinetik 2412 race battery, cheaper but the same as the HC 1800. check out my score(s) here and join the forums if your from NNY, VT, or Canada. www.teamnortheastspl.com and i like the thing about don't tag yourself as a newbie and whats it say under my Username.... makes sence.
