I have a few Qustions though...
1: Do i need that much sub? or will i be good with 1? I want Lots of Bass but i don't want to go def.
2: What Amp do i get?
3. Will i need a extra battery for the sub?
4: WIll i need to amp the speakers?

This is my First System i have ever gotten so i'm not sure what is needed. (i know i have to get new wires too)

Thanks
Dan

 

1000W subs :eek3:

that might be a little overboard :dunno:

 

i think one sub is good enough for me but it depends on what your aiming for. sq or i'm that loud annoying guy and my trunk rattles. i'm sq person so i would set it up like this.

so here's my two cents

stick with type x components in front and no rear fill for a such a small car. if you are inclined to have back speakers i would just put some cheaper type s coaxials, plus you save like 400 bucks. i think it would be very very bright in your car with another set of tweeters that close to you.

i would go with a 10in sub or even an 8 so that you don't have a choppy sound stage, but most people won't notice it. also i would have a custom slotted box for it.

my roommate just go the new alpine pdx 4channel and i'm very suprised by how nice they are and how small it was and i do like how they're stackable.

 

ya i just talked to a guy at a local sound shop he said a 10inch of pretty much any brand alpine probally
speakers type x front and like type s rear

 

Based on my experience with the spx-137a's (the older model) you will absolutly need a amp for the components esp if you want them to keep up at all with the subs. I gave them to a friend and they do ok off the stock deck but you can tell they want more power. I ran 75 to them and i'd consider this a minimum. I was running 250 to each side for a while. It had awsome dynamics. You just have to be a bit more careful so you dont accidently get to happy with the vol and blow the speakers.

One sub in that small car would be pretty damn loud. Im not a bass head though.

 

i'm gettin 1 amp for speakers and 1 amp for sub/s so power will not be a problem

 

what amp are you gonna use for your highs and how much power?

 

idk yet didn't really look at them yet what do u suggest

 

thats not overboard i have 2 12" 1440w
