What

[The King]

what do you think is the best car audio? what brand has the most wattage? Just wondering what everyone thought :huh:

[muchspl2]

what are you looking for?

[The King]

nothing really. I just wanted to know what people thought. I think dragster audio is one of the best i can find :P

[muchspl2]

amps:
soundstream 10.0 with air bass remote
rockford fosgate punch150 x2 mids & highs
subs:
soundstream spl160 15" x2
deck:
pioneer deh-7200
q-bass eq
im certified @ 169.3 spl
muchspl = much spl

[netweiser]

5000watt gemini double bass :P

[The King]

sweet stuff :D Sweet subs. I was looking for amps but some of them these days are weak <_<

[muchspl2]

try to get one thats stable to 1 ohm or better, my 10.0 is 1/4 ohm stable
25x2@4ohms or 1000x1@1ohm lower the ohm, raise the power, but the amp has to be able to handle it

[3rd gen noob]

i&#39;d rather have 2x12" subs than 2x15"
depending on your taste in music, 15&#39;s might not be able to respond quickly enough

[fkdup74]

good point 3rd, some audiophiles even stick with 8&#39;s and 10&#39;s, but thats too small for my taste, and fosgate still makes pretty solid amps king
you can check em out HERE (http://www.rockfordcorp.com)

[muchspl2]

well normally these are special subs, they don&#39;t even make them any more
and the spl170 are not made by hand like the 160&#39;s
among other things it has a 2 1/2 inch peek to peek excursion

[blitz2rush]

If your lookin for good quality amps, that aren&#39;t as expensive as the others. Look for Pheonix Gold, Fantastic amps for the price range. Rockfor, Audiobahn, and JL are the best brands in the business.JL=clarity, Audiobahn=in between, and Rockford=bass. It just depends on what your lookin for. If Price isn&#39;t an a problem and you want a big amp. JBL makes a 5,000watt rms amp, and Audiobahn does too. Not sure what the prise is on the JBL, but the audiobahn is runnin anywhere from &#036;1,600 to &#036;4,500. As far as I&#39;ve seen though, this amp is top of the line it is a stand alone stereo system. deck, kit, subs, and the amp. It has just about anything you would want of the top. I have my license to deal audio equipment and would be an authorized Audiobahn dealer, just not everybody is lucky enough to have a store. I just use it to get what I want and my friends want. If your like me and money is an issue look into the pheonix gold amps.

[muchspl2]

do they still make the amp that comes with a special alternator?
also thought they engrave your name or car club on it :unsure:
I remember it costing over 20 grand, hella expensive.

[Evil Gemini]

For a deck you should get this one here (http://www.crutchfield.com/S-28yY399kvpA/cgi-bin/prodview.asp?i=130DEHP90H).

It has a built in 10gb hdd for your mp3&#39;s :D

FInd a good amp and 12" JBL&#39;s

[muchspl2]

sweet, but then I&#39;d never be able to listen to xm with all that loaded

[j2k4]

I have a friend who has a Durango full of amps and speakers-before he assembled it he asked me what kind of subs he should get-I told him I always preferred Cerwin-Vega.

He now has 2-18", 2-15", and 2-12" (for the "transient response"), all "Strokers".

Something like 6000w of dedicated bridged amplification, just for the subs.

I have NEVER heard SPL like that; I would have though it impossible.

Un-f**king real.

Probably the best automotive sound system would be a Ford 427 side-oiler with 4 dual throat Webers and side pipes...

I&#39;m certified @ 169.3 spl

just for everyone the world recored is 174 db
in order to gain 3db&#39;s you need to double the power
you can find out on paper(theoretically) how loud it should be
say a speaker sensitivity is 100 @1watt @1meter
2 watts =103
4 watts =106
8 watts =109
16 watts 112
32 watts 115
64 watts 118 as you can see it adds up quick,
the regulated db meter (for shows=what counts) always seem low compared to people I know with the same equipment

[infamousalbo101]

this is wha i put in my 2004 Nissan Maxima

10,000 wats

You know your stuff.

I used to custom-build speakers, but I got thumped on the melon (true story) and literally lost my ability to do the higher math associated with the activity.

Now they use computors, so I guess it&#39;s no great loss, huh?

I remember having tons of drivers, face-plates and cabinets, experimenting all the bloody time-God, the hours I put in to that stuff.

Memories (such as they are) :huh:

[johnboy27]

A guy from here in Halifax has a Suzuki swift with two 15" Juggernaut subs and 2 Rockford Fosgate BD1500 amps built into a wall where the back seat used to be and I saw him hit 157.?? a couple of years ago at a show.He was the highest in the Maritime provinces that year and was supposed to redoe everything to go for a Canadian record but I don&#39;t think he ever did as I haven&#39;t gotten to any shows this year.

Nah, too refined. Nice, though.

Not as brutishly elemental as the 427-That will shrivel your pod, believe me.

Clocker, we need sound for this young man&#33; ;)

Can you find a rip through the gears, oh, God of cyber-sound?

I had to play that 5 times before I stopped. ;)
