all a bass driver does is give your amp a kick in the ass but its well worth it

LoL@well worth it. If by well worth it you mean another piece of **** equipment piece that is junk and makes it sound even worse then it did before, then sure. I bet it's gonna be well worth it. For real though please explain exactly what it does (if you even know). This sounds like one of the installs I've seen before where the ppl "wanted it done right" so tweeters were screwed into the a pillar panels, all wires visible, and amps sitting loosely in the trunk with the wires just shoved into the terminals with no ends on them. :D

I think what everyone is saying is good luck, You may need it with power acoustik. It has a well earned reputation in the audio community, apparantly what we know of it, and what you think of it are polar opposites.

Is this thread absolutely retarded? YES.

LOL at this dude thinking Power Craptasic is a good brand! :lmfao:

You are going big alright. :rolleyes:

[JASONBALL]

maybe he is doing what he can afford. the enclosure and layout might be awsome. so in the future he might jump to a higher end sub.

I have only ran name brand before that was rockford about 4 years ago. ever since then. just ebay brands. doesn't matter how exspensive or good they might or might not be. it is how you display them ore set them up. I have seen some pretty ****ty kmart subs in the right box. kill some other brands out there.

why does everyone have to hate.

I'll call shenanagins on this one. Crappy gear leads to crappy results no matter how good the enclosure is. Good gear can still sound crappy without a proper enclosure though.

also for what he is spending on the subs, he can get better quality. Something like an IDMAX 12 will sound MUCH better.

he says that jimmy because to the un trained ear.. shiit sounds good.. trust me .. when i used to work in audio shops i'd hear so much distortion in jimmy rigged cars till i'd get mad.. but the owners would swear up and down it sounded great.. until they sit in my car.... cheap audio results in cheap results.. remember that.. rule of thumbs when it comes to anything you purchase.. do your research.. you get what you pay for .. .

No, its not "damn good". Its still low end gear no matter what you think. Would you mind telling us how much you paid for all that "damn good" gear? I can assure you I can think of 3 combos that will sound better, cost less and most likely get louder at the same time.

So what you are saying is that you don't care how horrible it sounds as long as it is loud? HAHAHAHAAHHAAHA! :lmfao:

News Flash: That is NOT "damn good." That is garbage. You don't think your daddy bought anything you own? Does that mean you still believe in Santa Claus? Or that you bought everything yourself? You make no sense. I should ban you for being underage and lying about your birthday on your profile, but lets just see how this plays out.

He must be out with his "damn good" system and won't be back for a while cause it's "so loud". :)

ahh,let him do what he wants. if he thinks its damn good stuff let him think that. i remeber a time when i thought my pyramid 10 inch sub and rockwood amp were bad assed. he will figure it out.

[Dracc]

everyone started off with a ****ty system that they thought was the SHIIT.... IE me.. my 1st system was 4 mtx black road thunder 10's and 2 pioneer 760 amps... i thought i was the shiit.. until i read up on other systems and heard other peoples systems and quickly found out just because you turn the gain all the way up on the amp and wire things positive to positive and negative to negative doesnt mean its right and sounds good to the trained ear

my IQ went down 30 points reading that shiit......... who has 10 grand in there system on here.. raise ya hand * looks around* nobody.... so if 1 15 on 2000 watts hit 142 on this "scale" then another 15 with 2000watts would mean it would hit 284 on this scale.. and last time i checked you'd go def after 30 seconds in 180 DB or higher... good look with your GROUND POUND SYSTEM myfriend

Umm, I'm willing to bet R Rated has 10k+ in his system, but he is also using very high end gear.

For comparison though. I had:
2 RE XXX 15's 860 shipped
1 US Amps DE-3000 ~1500 retail at the time
Eclispe AV8533 head unit 2300
Front speakers A/D/S ~600 if I remember correcly
Kenwood KAC-??? amps for the front >200

Total: ~5300


Far less than 10k and it was MUCH louder, and MUCH cleaner than yours will be.

You can also cut out the 2300 head unit because you can get an equal signal to the amps with a $300 head unit.

so thats down to ~3k worth

For the price of those MOFO 10, you could have gotten an couple of DD 3510's that would have been louder and cleaner for nearly the same price.

I do know that there is not one good stereo shop in Cleveland, TN, and ever since Tweeter/HiFi Buys closed the doors, all the Cleveland kids, have to resort to the cheesey shop or Wal-Mart, Best Buy or Circuit City (Non of which have a clue how to properly install (maybe a couple installers) and non do custom work.

142db's? Are you kidding me? I worked in 3 different shops and 135-high 140's is average for any piece together system. I could hit harder with a water logged box with better equipment than PA. For the money you spent you should take banginjimmys advice and step it up. First, return the garbage you purchased.

hmmm

[Z32redondo]

hmmm

I know contradicting...let me go into further detail...

OK the 300zx convertible has the main area of the car where the driver and passenger sit. Behind both seats is a steel wall. Then behind that steel wall is an 18 gallon gas tank along with another steel wall and then a trunk. The "cabin" or whatever you want to call it is fully sealed off from the trunk. Bass travels through the car but the volume and whatnot it can be heard is just low. A buddy of mine had the same system I had except it was in an open truck rather than concealed toy. On the outside it had the image of a loud ass system, and the sound of a loud sound system. But inside ya it was loud, just not as loud as it could have been in another car.

When I had the lifted white Z71 I had the same type R setup it it and it was 2x as loud. Same box and everything.

So ya no doubt it was "loud" But with how many watts I had running to it, it should have been louder. Someone with maybe 400 watts as opposed to my 850 watts would have been a good "match".
