So I obviously need to upgrade the electrical wiring and alternator in my 1996 lexus es300, and idk how much that will cost, and i wanted to put 3 BTL 12" in my trunk in a custom ported box, and i needed 3 nice amps to power them, i was thinking CRUNCH 2500 Watt or SPL 3200 watt since they can give out a lot of power for a low price....any other suggestions, and how much will upgrading the ENTIRE electrical units be, Alternator, wiring etc....

3 BTLS---------------------$1100

Pioneer Deck--------------$400

Polk Audio Components--$300

3 Amps---------------------$660 for Crunch $1060 for SPL

------------------TOTAL=$2660 (Does not include labor or the electricals)

what will the final cost be after electricals cuz labor is 270 bucks for this according to my local audio shop

PLEASE LET ME KNOW!!!

**AND ALSO NOBODY TELL ME SUNDOWN, ITS WAY TO MUCH MONEY, DESPITE HOW fudgeIN SICK THEY ARE

I know the guys on this forum will rip hard on me for this one but try 3 SSL CR4000.1's they are the best bang for the buck out there if thats what your lookin for. They are not sundown of coarse but they are far from junk. I have used one on a old BTL 15 and did a 145 off only 2300 watts. Only downfall is no subsonic filter and only 4 gauge inputs.

Vids are useless. Curious as to why you think they aren't junk? If it is just because you owned one that doesn't mean anything.

have you heard the sub in a 3/4 inch thick mdf box built right?

[95Honda 486]

LOL... I did 143db on the TL with less than 150 watts.... Measured by Black00....

145 with 2500 watts is pathetic.... Hate to burst your bubble...

Oh sorry, it said 2300 watts.... That's still not very good...

And this was to put things into perspective about how loud you can get with only a little power.

Ob, you are the one asking the n00b questions.

[KU40 173]

i recall saying 165 n00b

hahaha. Maybe you should research who you're talking to before spouting off insults.

I've seen a 170 off of a single 10 (that wasn't a solox), so 156, 165, whatever. eh.

and......I'm pretty sure there is no fiberboard "specially made" for the solox. any properly built box made with generic 3/4" MDF would sound the same.

But you also have to take into consideration what the box that they design will do for your music. If they tune it to 45-50 hz, sure it'll be loud. But it'll sound like crap at anything other than an SPL competition. So you have to ask yourself if you'd rather have 365 days of decent sounding bass or 362 days of crappy sounding bass with 3 good days at soundoff comps thrown in? and if they tune it to something reasonable, like 32 hz, you won't be hitting 165 db, regardless of if they have magic fairy dust wood.

It's made of uranium isotopes

[pear_b 1]

think thats sad, i know someone who ran a Visonik 4000, 1 yellow top, and 4 10" SE's or SX's in about 4 cubes. He got it measured and hit like 143. A couple grand in there for only a 143, he was suppper disappointed.

Watch your attitude son, or I will remove you from this forum.

[christobear 0]

i love it when people are wrong, think they are right, and refuse to consider that they are wrong when EVERYONE ON THE WEBSITE IS TELLING THEM THEY ARE

holy crap, you came to this forum and asked for advice. people give you advice and get a little chuckle out of what you think you know. so what. everyone starts off not knowing very much.

take the advice that is given, try to learn a little, then shut up

Enjoy your vacation. When you come back the first time a post like this happens you will be gone permanently.

And no way I'd feel like a dumbass having you describe material testing to me. Just won't be in the cards, if you don't know why you could use the search function and you will find out which of course is something you should have been doing now for a long time.

I know you're on vacation from here for a little while, but since you think this fiberboard is so awesome, tell me what the F stands for in MDF or HDF? How is your fiberboard any different than that? ok, it may be thicker, but if I glued three 3/4" MDF pieces together, I'd have 2.25" of fiberboard. and since you don't even know anything about this fabled fiberboard other than that's in general what it is and the thickness, you have no legs to stand on.

any properly braced box should sound the same. Once the box is acoustically dead, there is nothing else to do.
