Help PEOPLE!?

Question

my 1999 saturn has great bass i mean its loud and sometimes you cant even hear what there saying and i got no system in it now i have $1,000 dollars do you think putting MTX or kicker subwoofers in my car with a amp would make it better? and is $1,000 dollars enough

PS: kicker is sweet i really want subwoofers

Answer 1

What ever you do you have to install a flux capacitor to really make it sound good. They are $249 at Advance Autoparts.

Answer 2

i see peoples are talking about craps...i mean caps...lol

don't get one...it will be a waste of $

always upgrade your electrical system in this order....

1. upgrade the the big 3

2. battery (optima yellow top or kenetik)

3. H.O. alternator

4. add more batteries

you will never see a serious competitor using caps.

as for subs, if you do it right you only need one. check out DD, sound splinter, audioque, memphsis, eclpise, oz

for an amp check out cadence, memphsis, mmats, oz, xtant, usamps

kickers get loud by tend to have poor sound quality. the ones i mentioned will get way louder and sound a lot better. if your looking to spend $1000 and considering more, why not do it right?

also, your sub will only sound as good as the enclosure its in. don't get a prefab one. get a well made one that is built for the specs of the sub. they are not hard to make. i can design it for you if your interested.

Answer 3

ya man get sum kicker L7's they hit hard and ya you would have enough money

Answer 4

you should go with fi. get some 18"s

Go to www.ficaraudio.com they got like 4 or five different sub types with good size ranges too. i got a bl 18"

Answer 5

Yes you will have enough but dude if you get subs man the cops will be on ya like flies on c**p :P

Answer 6

always put out the budget first. if you have 1000.. dont just blow it on big subs and a big amp.. because if you get big sub/amp combo you will need a BIG battery and a BIG capacitor along with BIG wiring.

do you getmy drift? it depends on what you are looking for...

the cleanest sounding system out?

the loudest boomiest system out?

the best quality/loud ratio bang for your buck?

when you figure these out post another question!

kicker is badass but the l7s dont live up to the hype.

they make alot of SPL (sound pressure levels, this is what subwoofer loudness is measured in)

but they make terrible SQ (sound quality, what you hear), stick with the l5 if anything. in the right box an l5 can be just as loud.

also do you know how to construct boxes?

if not then that will be a major cost aswell.

COSTS:

Box premade - 125    or Box supplies (glue/MDF/port)- 40

subwoofer - (one 15") - 200+

amplifier(monoblock Class D) - 200+

wiring kit - 40

capacitor - 100+ (dont skimp with an xbrand cap they may claim 1  farad but theyre all bullshit. unless you are going to spend 100+ on a cap, DONT BUY IT)
