Q's about Subs

[imported_Intel486]

I have a factory JL box with 3 10" JL subs and a PPI 400W amp that I might be selling soon. The box is sealed and everything is in excellent shape, if not mint, and always performs flawlessly. And, this rig can go from ground pounding to punchy to quiet, depends on what you want it to do! If you or anyone is interested I might throw in the Monster Cable interconnect cables for free. I'm not sure if i could extract my power and ground cables, but I could try....they are 4 gauge, made to handle and flow high current. Just thought I'd throw this out there since I'm probably gonna be selling my car soon....



Anyhow, I'd still recommend JL and PPI to anyone. This combo is very versatile and loud! I sure have enjoyed them in my car!!

hmmm... That box looks like it might be able to fit behind my seats if I keep the seats up, which I do all the time.



Can you give me the dimensions on the box?

The best advice I can give you is to find a knowledgeable car audio shop, and let them give you advice and guidance



I agree 100%. Find a shop who really know what they are doing, just buying items and hoping it will work, will cost a lot more money than doing it right in the first place. A skilled installer can do great things for sound quality and make everything look perfect, without spending $$$$

Hey Intel,



I'll shoot you an email tonight when I get home! The box isn't tiny, but it's not huge either. I've got the dimensions and specs at home....bare with me!

So your trying to say that there is no difference in sound quality between stock speaker wire, and say Monster Cable? I find that extremely hard to believe.

LOL ok, take stock 18 gauge wire, and then "monster cable" 18 gauge wire... you will NOT hear a difference...



richard clark (the most celebrated audio guru around) will pay anyone 10000 dollars if they can repeatedly take a double blind listening A/B test



RCA's are another story, some have great noise rejection properties and shielding...ive installed 100's of systems and have never heard differences between no name or stock wire to a name brand wire...

2 10" JL Audio W3's, and a JBL BP 600 or 1200 amp is all you need and it shouldn't be an expensive system either. I have old Rockford Fosgate Punch's. The old kind, so they're not the most powerful but I don't care much about a system and they're supposedly better than the new Punch's. JBL BP 300.1 Amp is what I have. Not too powerful, but nice. JL for subs, JBL for amps.

 

[eldawg4100]

JL subs and JBL amps? there are hundreds of other good companies for cheaper really... except those JBL amps are the best deals!! i would be careful putting a 1200.1 on a pair of 10w3's lol....
