Damn is it that bad? My uncle knows a few people who could probably hook it up for cheap. Should I not even bother? Like I said before, Idon't really care too much if it gets really loud. Just need it loud enough.


edit: I'm probably gonna hit me 10 post limit soon so I might have to respond in edits

 

[mr monday niight]

it's not all about being loud..it's about sounding good AND being loud..those subs do neither...

if u hit post count, pm me

Point me in the right direction of what else I need to get so I can get this set-up. I drive a 2005 BMW 325i if it matters.

Holy large pictures.

Anyways you need a mono amp and an amp wire kit, probably a 0ga, but a 4ga would work just fine.

How much would all of this cost me?

You could do it for about $100 maybe a little bit more.

Check out http://www.knukonceptz.com/ for wiring and just find a cheapo amp on craigslist or something...

I want a box similar to this one

wack

you think so? looks pretty cool to me. i'm talking about the box.
i dont even know what that stuff is next to the amp, i want the subs facing toward the trunk door and not facing up too. really I just want a box that goes allthe way across instead of just sitting there in the middle. and i want some kind of custom feel to it.
when i was going to get a truck instead of my TB one of my homeboys said he could build a fiberglass box and have it replace the center console. the conceptseemed really cool idk how practical that'll be though and I saw a picture on cardomain but don't even remember what make/model car it was.

 

[mr monday niight]

what car is it going into

 

[omgitswes]

an 07 Trailblazer.

 

[mr monday niight]

sub up, port forward would get louder & sound cleaner in a suv

 

[mathilda lando]

Do I need 2 sets of component speakers, or just 1?

I'm a noob. I have a 4 door 03 golf with monsoon. I need new speakers. specifically tweeters. I was looking on crutchfield.com and saw some tweeters byclarion. are tweeters hard to install?

You can't just hook up any tweeters to the stock system

[swanginon4z]

where do you dudes go and buy your car audio from?

 

[mr monday niight]

depends what were getting

Good car audio brands are usually internet direct..for example you won't find digital designs or fi car audio @ best buy or your average mom and popshop....

 

[mr monday niight]

 

[swanginon4z]

that car is obviously a pos with a whole bunch of loose %!+ parts.... not a good look, only thing posed to be waving is the trunk.
