Upgraded my amps and subs :)

[blaK]

I upgraded to JL 300/4BK and a JL 500/1BK.



My mids and highs are Focals 165KPS and 690 CV1.

My new subs are 2-JL 8W7's.



And wow, I'm real happy with it. I don't even have the bass up, it's at -5!!
My head unit is a DEHP880PRS.

I got the 8's because I heard it in a car that had 3 of them and I couldn't believe it. Space was an issue in his car.

I stapled extreme velcro on the bottom of the box so it doesn't fly around the trunk

VERY nice setup! One of the few people who's equipment combination actually impresses me Now put those subs in a custom box and you'll be in extacy!

Thanks bro, I wish you could hear it

I build it out of mdf from home depot for 20 bucks and the grills are cheap too.
Called tech and asked for the measurements and he gave them to me. Then my friend wrapped in blue suade.
I wish I had the money for fiberglass but I'll want to take this with me for my next car

I miss having ANYTHING at this point, so I'm sure it'd sound fantastic! So far in my Supra I've only had a chance to swap my CDA-9815 in and run my fronts (Alpine SPR-17C) directly off of it... I took out the rears and plan to keep them out. I've also run my power from battery to rear, but I still gotta run my RCAs, remote wire, and speaker wires (the only real pain-in-the-@$$ part left), hook up my amp and toss in one of my subs... I really miss my Solara setup, but it's really way too much for what I plan for the Supra, so I'm downgrading substantially . When I get my "micro-system" hooked up in the Supra I should hopefully feel better though

If you're curious, I have my old Solara audio setup in the link below my Signature pic, and my Supra's audio progress on its page (also accessible through the link). The subs pictured in the Solara are old, I sold them a while back... I later ran a pair of Alpine SWR-1222Ds in slot vented enclosures.

Enjoy your system bro, definitely some quality equipment.

theprodigy79,

Have you considered
http://www.bostonacoustics.com/car/car_ ... uct_id=400 for your supra?
Since you're only going to have fronts, those are the best money can buy.

Slap a JL300/2 while you're at it Wait a few weeks, JL is coming out with a new version of their amps "Slash V2"



Did I ever mention that I did my wife's system too?

I have 2 pairs of Boston Acoustics Z6s left over from my Solara (they're the direct predecessors of the ones you linked to), however I've already gotten the SPR-17Cs for the Supra (they're very good quality coaxials) due to the simplicity and reduction in weight (the Z6s are monsters, especially with their huge crossovers). I'm saving the Zs for my next ride anyways. For the Supra I'm going for balance, simplicity, and efficiency over power and complexity. The amp I'll be using in the configuration I'll be using it in is underrated at 85Wx2 RMS @ 4Ohms, 12V for the mids/highs and 300Wx1 @ 2Ohms, 12V for the sub. Realistically it 'll be pushing around 95Wx2 RMS @4Ohms and 350Wx1 RMS @ 2Ohms, so I have no need for a second amp.

Previous setup (the blue amp will be the 3 channel in the Supra as well):




My Supra speakers (temporary setup, still gotta rewire and dynamat):



Also, if you're not familiar with oldskool Soundstream, check out some specs and reviews for the Rubicon 604 (I've had it for 8 years and no doubt I'll stick with it). One of the best 4/3/2 channel amps in existence IMHO. I still have my Class A 10.2 chillin by my couch as well.

PHAT!!!


I also have your valcuum

[theprodigy79]

Hahaha it's a tight vac, I "enjoy" it At least you can get a good size reference with it
