out with the old. in with the new
 

Ok so the other day i killed one of my kicker 10s i must admit i was pretty bummed. but then i got what im gonna replace my two kickers with.
its a rockford fosgate power series T2 10in with 2 ohm dual voice coils.
hook this bad boy up to my hifonics at 1 ohm will be gettng 1200 rms.
im pretty excited, just gotta build a box for it. oh and this one sub weighs like 40 lbs

You are a lucky man !!
That thing looks huge though

:dj:

yea i got it for 200 bucks they are like 350 on ebay. the box im building is going to be 20.5"x15.5"x12.5" with a 4"x11" port. the guy had 3 of them in the trunk of his honda with 4000 watts to them. idk how he could still hear

:lof:
hhah, thats rediculous !

:dj:

yea but then again the guy who i bough my yota from had a 15 in there that you could hear from 2 blocks away.

i have noticed. not many people on this forum are into car audio. i mean there are like 10 threads total in the audio section. i know the day i got my yota i had more money invested in the stereo than i paid for the truck.

I hear ya. I even went to school to install mobile electronics. Wish I could spend the money add redo my system, but I have other things to buy($6000 DH race bike). Good luck with your new subs, hope the sound good. BTW, make sure your system can handle down to 1 ohm, not many subs and amps can handle that. Most amps will shut down, but if you have a older amp it won't shut down and most likely fry the sub or amp. Just some food for thought

Hah, I love my audio :)
You can almost here me from 2 blocks away...

That's because most of us spend our money on mods for offroad rather than a stereo. If it's not a dd.

I put in some decent phillips 6" speakers in a crappy walmart box, with a 10" sub in a different box next to that on the xtra cab bench in my dd. No amp, just a decent head unit to power them. I just need the sub for when it gets loud, no boom boom system, I just don't get that. :think:
The 4runner just got brand new 4" two way speakers in the dash, and some (given to me) 6" sony xplods crammed into another walmart box, wired for easy removal. I didn't know yt had a section for audio until they moved my cb thread.

Basically I like a decent setup that gets pretty loud, but nothing I would spend any kind of money on. If it's your dd I can see a little more money going to the audio dept of the truck, but most of my money goes into repairs and offroad mods.

my amp puts 1200 rms at 1ohm might drop in my 2000 rms @1ohm in tho... im gonna pull the 4gauge power wire i have in there now and run 1/0 to the cap and 4gauge from the cap to amp and 4gauge ground for the amp and 1/0 ground for the cap. when i got the truck i had to start from scrach. and by that i mean i even had to run the B+ to power the head unit.

i just installed two 12" comps in my brothers golf. wired at 2ohm with 700 rms to them

Im not into the whole hear me coming thing. i just love a system with clean notes. i wanna feel my bass and hear my highs. like its supposed to be.. the ability to make the car next to me feel my bass is just a plus

so i was on the rockford site looking at their subs. and apparently this sub it the absolute top of the line that rockford is currently making. i feel special. iv never had the best of anything before

i cant fit a truck box behind my seat, i'm too tall. i may stick one 10 behind behind the passenger seat when i get buckets

Trust me it barely fits...


:dj:

i can tell, i measured what space i had and it looked like it woulda shoved me too far forward. where did u get that box from? what are its measurements

ummm, The home town audio store...
No clue on measurements...

:dj:

is it a common chamber or are the subs separate? i know my kickers were in a common chamber and when one went i took the other with it

Thats a good question, I never took a good peak inside to see...
Im so lazy right now...


:dj:

put down the pipe and investigate :P






j/k ;)

haha why pull a speaker if you dont have to. on a kicker thats like what 8 screws

yeah i wouldnt get up and check that either lol, i may go out for some beer here in a few though.

oh thats much better than pulling a speaker.
