so, been talkin to my rents, and they decided taht for the holidays, my birthday, and from other family, there all gona chip in and get me 2 KICKER l7 12 inch subwoofers for my ford ranger, ive gotta get an amp, and pretty muche verything else, but w/e, cant wait, thoes subs are so nice.
yes they are good choice on speaker.
been there done that...
that much bass gets very old.
I got some subs for xmas a couple years ago. Just 2 crappy 12" duals and a 200 watt amp that didn't push it for shit. I sold those and got a single 15" kicker comp that sounded so much better than those last 2. I wish I had a bigger amp cuz it woulda sounded much better...but then I got a mustang and didn't feel like building a custom box for the tiny trunk and just sold everything and used the money for go fast mods lol.
i recently got rid of my 3 Comp VR 12's and 3 Kicker Impulse amps that i had in my van. i was metering at about 149-151 dB. i'm currently looking to get 2 or 3 L7s eventually. what are you running yours with and what size/port tuning on the box? a lot of people think SPL is dumb and "all that bass sounds like shit/isn't needed" but its a hobby just like anything else that some people are into and some people aren't. and if you set it up right, it can sound pretty good.
I thought you were high and ordering Dominos.
Get a soundstream Referance 405s of ebay..... last amp you will ever need/buy
bridge those subs...to 1 ohm...... and bass your head off... I love that shit.
that amp is .25 ohm stable....
I have a Wal * Mart / Curcuit City system in my van... 2 Pioneer 10" "I like the hard hit" of the 10's for rock and roll and the 10's hit hard like a firework with 400 watts behind them... I got 4 6x9's and 2 6" rounds and 4 tweeters... I have Jensen amps,don't knock em till you try em... I have an old Alpine head unit,the best clarity in the tweets and mid range IMO...
i got two 15 l7s hooked to a 3000rms amp. shit rattles my roof. good choice man i'll never buy anything else. have fun wid em.
i got 4 12inch cerwin vega "strokers"
makes fools vomit when i turn up the bumps
ha sick man i have a 01 ranger not ext CAB :mad: but i got a set of 6x8 or 9 speakers in there w/e size they are and 1 10" in there. nice setup.Quote:

I admit, the bass cube thing was AWESOME. He'd pull on this little switch on this small cube, and the bass would amplify about 5x as much. He entered a contest and got 2nd place for most bass in all of Alberta.Quote:

It was fun to watch, but he only did it for a few years, spent about $2200 on stuff, and ended up selling it all for about $500 in the end. He got his money's worth though.
So much bass man. In a truck, 1 12" sub is more than enough. Get an amp and a mid. speaker in each door, and it will sound plenty good.
i thought the title of this thread was "ordering my KNICKERS" oops!
no one is shit until they have a really good home stereo
