Good Beginner Setup

[SAMZ 0]

I want to go huge, so im goin to.

I would like to get:

Sub-Fi BTL 15" or 2 12"

Amp-Sundown Audio SAZ1500D or Soundstream DTR1.3400

Alt-Iraggi

Battery-Xs power (size unknown) or kinetic

I dont know what to do about electrical, i know am going to do the big 3, i also know i need a new alt prob.

Please help me out here, i want it to be cheap but i want good quality stuff to, i also want to do really well, ive been to 3 SPL comps and there sick, i loved seeing wat people did with their cars and what not.

If you think there is a better sub or amp, let me know for a speakers i wont pay more than 500 for one and 750 for 2, for a amp i will not pay over 1000.

If you can help it will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Sam

Yeah, that is big for a beginner setup !

Get a 15" btl and a Sundown saz 1500 and a custom box(very important). Do the big3 in 0 ga.

Buy a voltmeter to know how your car likes it. You will know if you need a new alt or new batts.

Don't forget your front speakers. You won't hear them with so much bass. Maybe you need to upgrade them, and add a 4 channels amp.

$1500? That can be tight !

Good luck.

What is a good voltmeter? My front speakers are very load and they can handle almost all the volume my deck can produce before becoming staticly, wat kind of 0ga wire?

If you put an amp on your front speakers then they'll not only get louder without "static sound" aka distortion but they'll sound better (nothing beats a clean signal)

You can either get a dmm digital multimeter for checking voltage and/or a lcd display voltmeter (such as the one made by stinger). I suggest buying both as a dmm is required in this hobby and the stinger voltmeter comes in handy when your inside the cabin and can actually watch the voltage.

when going that big for your first setup, for the love of god make sure you're voltage is high enough to run that kind of power or else all that expensive gear will just believe me, i know
