    Car Audio

    What are all you guys bumpin' with.

    I'm rockin alpine type r speakers all around with 2 12" alpine type r subs powered by a Kenwood rtd2500d 2500 watt amp. I think it's time for a new head unit, a simple cd head unit doesn't cut it anymore. I want one new one with a built in sirius receiver for sure. So give me some ideas, what are you guys rockin.

    When I was younger I was always known for my systems. Cant stand that loud music now!!!! Who would have ever thought I'd be saying that huh?

    My last one was 4 kicker solobarics with 2 digital Autotek amps pushing the 4 subs. Another Autotek 4 channe pushing 8 MB quart speakers. 2 optimum batteries and a digital fared cap to keep everything going.

    Before that was 2 15" Cerwin Vega Strokers powered by 2 1000watt digital amps. Talk about bass!!!!!!!!!!!

    since im a poor man now all i can afford is a new eclipse indash navi unit and some crossfire components in the front and back.

    I miss the bass, but i love my new ipod connection to the headunit! If you dont have one of these, it's a must have.

    Those had to be the best speakers I ever had. They beat the 3 12" JL W6 I had all day. I hit 152db with the solos and only 148 with the Strokers. But the stroker 15's DVC maxed out at 1800 watts and their RMS was 1500 watts. I was underpowering them with their own 1000watt memphis digital amp. Can you believe that??!!?!? Two top notch amps soley for 2 speakers and they were still underpowered. Those were some insane Speakers.........

    That's all quality equipment. JL makes nice subs but thats about it. Never liked their mids or amps. The W7's are very nice and clean, better then the W6's I had.

    Nakamichi blows away the competition with head units, just so dam expensive. I always liked Eclipse touchscreens myself..........

I plan on getting the jl 300x4 amp and giving the alpines to my old lady. I am also gonna take one pair of the mb quarts out and replacing them with focal utopia's! That shit makes my dick hard.

    Pioneer N2 in dash navigation, alpine type r's all the way around and one 12 inch Type R sub with the v12 mono Alpine amp. Its plenty loud for me in my SUV. I love the alpine stuff, very clean sounding and plenty loud.

    Nice, yeah I'm very happy with type r's. Was gonna go up to type x but I'm kind of glad I didn't spend the extra money as I heard a type x sub and it didn't sound any better than my type r's.

    I never liked Audiobahn, they make an amp that is 1ohm stable?

    148 is awesome with 2 12's, no need for the pics we believe you
