Why the hell did you get components in the rear?

Should have came in here before you bought all of that. 2k would've taken you much much farther. I do hope you like it, though.

Garbage
No suggestions really. Most of those package deals suck. 

 

[itrainedmichael]

package deals always suck. they are the best sub boxes though.

I've been lurking this thread for a while. Good stuff monday. I just copped a 2011 Frontier crew cab and I 'm in the market for a sound system and my budget is $1800. Any recommendations for the set up?

 

[mondaynightraw]

1800 just for equipment?

 

[dosky323]

I can afford to max out at $2,500 and I got a "guy" lol who can pretty much do the installation and get wholesale pricing for me.

 

[mondaynightraw]

wholesale pricing on what exactly.

 

[dosky323]

I assume anything. It's located in the downtown wholesale district, it's called Empire Wholesale.

 

[mondaynightraw]

Probably just mainstream brands.

Like alpine, pioneer, kenwood, rockford, jl.

I can probably piece some stuff together from each.

I already know headunit will either be Kenwood or Pioneer

 

[dosky323]

Ok.

 

[dosky323]

I appreciate the help btw. I'll check back tomorrow.

2 Hifonics brutus 12's custom built box I did myself on a 1200w mono amp the mono and the 4 channel and hidden behind the side panels in the trunk

built this console to go under the dash 2 hifonics zues 6.5 and tweets, crossover hide under the console

got the same as the console in my rear deck

all the mids and highs are run off a 660w 4 channel hifonics. the subs were duel 4 ohm and I wired them down to 4. the mono amp is 1 ohm stable but with the rattle the trunk gives off I didn't want to wire em down that low and have it sound like a bag of cans in the trunk. all of it run off a kenwood head unit. all questions and comments welcome

 

[mondaynightraw]

Hifonics def wouldn't have been my choice for subs and speakers

That box also looks like it seals off the trunk from the cabin

[juice man]

I need a little help. My amp is always on, even after my car is off. The blue light on the amp (Massive 500 watt) stays on along with the power light. I'm afraid it could overheat or blow lol. btw, it's been like this since I got it installed about a month ago..

 

[mondaynightraw]

where is the remote turn on installed
