Drewski- Hows the imaging with the tweeters there?

 

what series subs?

Actually it worked out well because thats really the flattest spot to mount them, plus since they swivel from left to right, i got them to point to the middle of my car, so you really hear the highs but can't tell thats its coming from the tweets.

 

the guy wrote me up what i'm getting on the back of a business card...

heres what it says:

(2) JL Audio 12 W Box $399.95
JL Audio A2150 Amp $219.95
Total: $775+Tax

Price includes installation and wires, everything. Is it a good price for these products? I'm not sure of the series of the subs.

 

Hey drewski,

I just bought a pile of that stuff. How do you like it??

 

not bad... thats a decent product.. sorta a butly mix but much better then the only asphalt stuff

 

To me its perfect. I honestly don't know how it would sound without it cause i put it in the same time as my system, but my friends who ride in my car always ask me if i have dynamat, cause they said they can hear a difference. I think it really helps in the trunk the most, you get solid, tight bass. although with two 12'' type r subs, its impossible to get all the rattle out. plus $100 for 100 sq ft of it on ebay, you can't go wrong.

hmm, thats a two channel amp, only putting out around 75 watts RMS per side at 2 ohms. so that probably means the 12W1v2 subs. but since they only go as low as 4 ohms, you're probably only giving them 45-50 watts. Good subs crave power, so i would try to go for a better amp, like the JL 300/2v2 (150 RMS per sub) if you want to make them pound a little more. Thats not a bad price either, most places charge about $65 and hour and subs can take a little while to install. If you really want a deal, ebay everything, or find it online. By just doing a quick search I found the A2150 amp brand new for $130 shipped, but then you have to do the install yourself.

 

Here is a litle update on my system... i got most of my rear deck finished! Type R 6x9's and a plexiglass amp/display rack, all on some custom molded fiberglass work!!! (and of course color matched speaker grills to the rest of the interior trim!)

 

sweet deal, i really like the plexiglass/amp idea. never seen anything like that before

 

Thanks a lot for your reply man +rep for you. I'll ask the guy at the stereo shop about a bigger amp with more power. He said something about a Sony Xplode one. It looked like the one you can get at wal*mart but he swore to me it wasn't. I'll ask him about that one also. I'm thinking of just telling him to make the speakers hit to their max without blowing them. Thanks again man.

 

no problem, glad i can be of some help. thanks for the +rep

 

Here's a 2 part slide show I put together of my system install. Part 1: Part 2:

 

Nice Set up guys... GOOD JOB!!!

 

these look nice. i like that amp idea, lets get more pics of it!!

 

i know it's not a full system yet and it's on my other thread but here's some updates on my FG build.
well i decided to get off my ass and get this project going. between yesterday and today my brother helped me and we mounted the rings, wrapped the box, and wet that bitch out. here's some pics:

hahah random pic, it's skittles.


here's a pic of one ring mounted


here's the box wrapped and then wet out with resin

 

Looks pretty good! I might have played with the ring angles a bit more, but it looks better than most "do it yourself" fiberglass projects I've seen. Props for going for it! Looks like a lot of work, but it should be worth it in the end!

 

Any more system pics out there?

 

Bump!

 

Here is my setup

 

ill have mine up friday evening. gettin 2 JL audio 12's and a JL audio amp put in.
