systems,what ya got?

Post by burned »

whats everyone running for listening enjoyment?thought on the porducts?

heres my set up.not real extravagant,but rocks hard for the amount of money i have in it.

deck- alpine cda-9857,set up with sirius,full speed i-pod connection etc etc.just got,love it so far.

amp/s- sub,alpine mrp-650.mono.really pushes the sub well.
components-fosgate p8004. 4 channel.kicks butt.

sub woofer- alpine type-r 10 inch,in ported box.fires down on pedestals.top doubles as center console.holy cow!

speakers- front,alpine type-r 6.5 coaxils.crisp and clear.
rear,boston 6x9 in cheapy boxes.sounds good,hate the look.

power cable/cap- tsunami 4 gauge to 1.2 farad cap with built in digital volt meter.i bought the whole tsunami kit a sit seemed the best value.came with reall nice battery lugs and under hood fuse holder/volt meter.

overall im super pleased especially since the last time i did a real system was about 8 or 9 years ago.the stuff is way better now.

the single 10" sub i have now would destroy the dual 15"s i had back then.[/url]

Nothing in the 'Stro, for now. The plans for it are 4 to 6 18" Fi Audio BTL subwoofers, fully optioned out, with a minimum of 2,000 watts on each one. Most of the other stuff will be out of the Beretta.

The Beretta currently has:

JVC kd-avx1 headunit
4 - 12" Audiobahn DUB-1200 dual voice coil subs.
1 - Hifonics BX-1500d amplifier
1 - Hifonics BX-2000d amplifier
1 - Logic Soundlab 800 watt 2 channel amplifier
2 - Matrix 6.5" 3 way speakers
1 - cheap $10 tweeters
1 - 7" dropdown monitor

Couldn't even break the 140 mark with this setup. Highest was 139.8dB @ 58Hz
No sig yet, working on new one

Man, i can't stand the way modern head units look. Most of them look like they belong in space ships, not Astro vans!

The Astro is stock, with no plans of adding a system, it's my 2nd and doesn't get driven much, that and it's fallin apart...

But my Subaru 2.5RS has a full install...
This is the Directed 600d(now an 1100d) and the 4500 and cap, the changer is now missing because i haven't used it since i got a Mp3 head unit. I'll be re-doing that board this spring.

Yeah, i still have a spare to...

And polk MOMO MM6.5 components in the door and kick panel....
