Aftermarket Car Stereos & Subwoofer set ups

[cincycoupe75]

i just got my 2.5s the end of september and it has the bose package installed in it, which sounds amazing, but i always want more lol

who has any good pictures of their setup or advice on what to look at ?

I tried searching for a couple of threads on here that people started about the sound systems in the A/C but it seems like the search engine is down atm.

Here's my humble setup lol.

[cincycoupe75]

i like that headunit..super clean
what kind of sub is that

[BRicci]

This is the one I have

I have two JL 10W3V3s.. don't have any pics handy, but it's great.

You have to get upgraded terminals or it's not very good. You have to contact the owner for that, you can't choose it as an option.

[cincycoupe75]

haha that's the exact box i've been looking at and it seems over priced for what it really is

What subs did you put in it?

[BRicci]

Two JL 10W3V3s

[cincycoupe75]

also what i'm looking at...recommend it?

[BRicci]

Definitely, but get a sound processor that's capable of time alignment.. hate the sub lag. It's not that noticable (only on certain songs), but I'm definitely fixing it down the road.

Edit: I think PXA-H100 will work.

[cincycoupe75]

yeah it's worth it in the long run but they're so expensive. i'm a little concerned about how it's going to sound running off of the stock head unit

[BRicci]

I don't know if I understand what you're saying.. but you need an amp lol
or were you just talking about no sound processor?

[cincycoupe75]

no i understand i need an amp, i already have one..i'm talking about no sound processor.
without one, it's up to the headunit and i always know that subs don't sound as great off of a factory radio as they do an aftermarket

[BRicci]

Stock headunit is fine, I would just get a sound processor.
What amp did you get?

[cincycoupe75]

a kenwood kac 9104D - 900watts at 2 ohms
i had it from my old stereo where i had two of those amps, 1 on each of my p3's

Here's some of mine in progress.





Both my amps are hidden from view, one under the trunk floor and one in the dash under the steering column.

alex,

did you custom build that box or did you have it built by someone?
I'm always a little skeptical about putting 1 sub on just 1 side because of a possible unbalanced sound

Here are a few of mine...

He built it himself. The sound is pretty balanced imo, I've seen a setup like his in person and it sounded awesome.

Yep I built it myself and I posted a fairly long thread about how I did it entitled, "boom boom." The sound is very good and at 80 hertz or less you can't tell what direction the sound is coming from, thats why subs are often filtered to this frequency and placed in trunks and stuff. So in other words, yes it is balanced.

where did you get this box done. I need to know.

[headhunt3r]

From a guy that used to work at Cartunes in Coquitlam, but I think he's left. Funny thing is I bought that box used for 90$ off craigslist. What can I say, I got lucky.

The only reason I found the maker of the box is that I went to Cartunes where I knew a few people, and the guy that helped me checked out the box, and recognized that he made it. Small world.

If you want, I can find out a place or two to recommend you to for getting something like this done.
