putting togather a system for a friend....

[jonbearsmt 919]

ok, my friend has a shit load of cars.. and has allways had a big head about his system in his lac...

he spent 7800 on a

indash dvd

2 jl w7 12's

box

inlay

batterys

wires

2 "2600 watt amps" he has no clue what kind.

anyway... he allways thought his car was the shit..... until he heard mine....

a week later he just called me asking to set up somthing in another one of his lacs....

but! there is a budget.....700.... for box subs amps wires

hes gonna buy the door speakers and high/mids amp and the h/u

he wants it loud... he wants lots of bass, and to hear the words....... i damn near had to beat him up to get a budget out of him! so pushing on goals with someone who knows nothing of audio i gave up.

ok.... 700 bucks its a tough budget... i wanna stay away from anything main streem.

i would say go with fusion... very inexpensive but they do the job well...

[chad y 1]

[Bobaflob 0]

MTX TA81001 solid amp for the price.

[jonbearsmt 919]

its a 93 deville... i dont have the trunk mesurments yet.....

he was thinking 2 12's,..... but then again everyone says they want 2 12's...

im open to an single 15 or 18 nut keep inmind the budget!

[jonbearsmt 919]

fusion....... no no

[chad y 1]

mach 5 Mj18M 5 ft^3 tuned to 30 hz powered off a rockford fosgate power t3002.

Mj18M ....$155

T3002.... ebay $150-200

box $75

wiring $100

500-600 dollar range ..... this was just the first thing to come to mind

[ABXX49 20]

Is he trying to get something better than his w7's? That budget won't really allow that

that came to mind aswell..... but i have not looked for a mj18 in a while cause they are hard to find... unless they are back in stock...

and the second thing when someone gets an 18 in there car i find they have HUGE ideas of how its gonna sound... and if he does not live up to it.. then its a huge let down.....

abxx no hes not trying to make the same sound in this car..... he just wants cheap sound that is nice for one of his many cars... he just bought this one the other day... he even told me... nothing to huge cause i dont have an alarm yet.... and with a 700 buck budget i dont expect huge attention to the car.

yo jon, the ssa shop says they have mj's in stock for $155. db-r has a sundown sax100.2 refurb for $199 too. i bet that'd be a nice budget system, leaves you half the budget to install everything properly.

[ncacoates 104]

To bad the budget isn't a little higher 15" bl or Q on a sae-1200d would only leave you 50 and running 0 gauge isnt cheap

[johnecon2001 82]

I don't really have an recommendations on budget amps... but for batteries and subs..

Powermaster D680 - $109

Mach5 MJ-18M - $155

OR

Incriminator Audio Lethal Injection 15" - $219

[johnecon2001 82]

Found a good amp for cheap here

The Clarion DPX1000.2. Specs here

[Bobaflob 0]

That Clarion DPX1000.2 on a Incriminator Audio Lethal Injection 15 would be nice

[jonbearsmt 919]

yeah he called me this morning as if i had some how gotten an amp and subs over night..... as i told him before i order online......

either way... he went to a car audio store today and called me on the phone...

we blew the budget to shit and it will never sound as good as if he would have just let me get a plan and order shit... but

we got the rf 1000.1p i think it is... also a 4 channel RF

1 atomic quantum 15 and a "ported box" no freakin idea of what its tuned to.

[pear_b 1]

so he basically took it upon himself then, that aint cool.

[Bobaflob 0]

Damn, i was looking forward to this budget build. I can imagine how much the budget got blown up buying local.

[jonbearsmt 919]

no he called me while at the shop.. and we picked the shit togather.... he was gonna pick up a single kicker cvr 15.. but i have used the atomics before... and i think the RF 1000 will give that sub plenty of power and leave head room.....

so we will see how it goes... ill take pics of the car and the install.

[jonbearsmt 919]

Damn, i was looking forward to this budget build. I can imagine how much the budget got blown up buying local.

i was too....... but he said he wants me to do him 70's lac for him... he wants to go all out... after hearing my car he wants to do 4 night shade 15 and what else he will need to power it.. no budget build.
