best setup for heavy metal/grunge/rock/industrial
I have recently came into a lot of money and want to upgrade my system.
I currently have a 2001 silverado regular cab, pioneer DEH-P77DH, factory speakers in the doors, and back pillars, and an old JL sub that was repaired and given to me with a ****ty walmart amp. I would think the head unit is fine, but the speakers really do need replaced. Now there isnt a whole lot of space behing my seats or below them for that matter. So space is limited. My goal is too **** off the old people at the stop light with the window up. They should be able to hear the cuss words, and feel the bass. any suggestions? |

"My goal is too **** off the old people at the stop light with the window
up. They should be able to hear the cuss words, and feel the bass. any suggestions?" Those old people are probably grandparents. Do you have any? Would you want some moron blasting away at his stereo on purpose just to annoy or scare your grandparents? If you answer yes, then I suggest you take that money you just came into and consider buying yourself some common sense.

You need to understand that the issue of boom cars and how they disrupt
people's lives comes up all the time in this discussion group. I know what you meant, but you picked a rather poor analogy. I LOVE BASS MYSELF. I have a pair of 12's and love to crank them with rap and techno (you can see pictures of my system at http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2359697). But I am also careful not to do this in a residential neighborhood or where I would offend others. Statements like yours, unfortunately, are used by those who are ACTIVELY SEEKING legislation that would put higher fines and/or jail time for repeat noise offenders as well as making large subwoofers difficult to purchase. These organizations are well funded and have the ear of lawmakers. Of course you are not the only one who likes to make these type of claims, advertisements for audio gear (for YEARS) has emphasized the fact that their products will allow you to annoy your neighbors. It just, as a sport, we are finding we must be VERY sensitive to this issue. But I understand that what you were saying was more a joke, not a deliberate intention to annoy. It's just that many out there these days ARE NOT LAUGHING. Now, on to your question.... The trouble with asking what to buy is that you will get a different response from EVERY person here. When it comes to front speakers, the best advice I can give you is to listen to as many different brands as you can WITH YOUR TYPE OF MUSIC. Go to stereo shops with all your CD's and just listen. Speakers are a very personal matter (they will effect the sound more than any other component) and what sounds good to me may not sound good to you. With subwoofers, I have a pair of MTX MXS12's (they are the same as MTX's 7500 12"s) and I LOVE THEM. The are AMAZINGLY TIGHT. Before these, I used a pair of JL 12W3's in a sealed box and these MTX's are MUCH LOUDER (obviously, partly because now they reside in a ported box), MUCH, MUCH MORE TIGHT! So I guess I would recommend MTX. If you have money to burn, the MTX 9500 subs are INCREDIBLE. Of course, JL's 13W7's are great as well as Image Dynamics IDMax series of subwoofers. Those three would be on my short list if cost were no object. As far as amplifiers, there are WAY too many good ones to mention. But you will definitely want to go Class D for your sub amps as they are MUCH more efficient. The other thing you need to think about are all the OTHER things that are not quite as sexy, BUT JUST AS IMPORTANT. I would HIGHLY recommend extensive use of sound deadening products like Dynamat. A deep cycle battery is a must (like Optima's Yellow Top). You will need large gauge power cables and I would also recommend high-quality twisted-pair interconnects (I use Phoenix Gold's Zeropoint series). A larger alternator may be necessary if your amps draw considerably more power than what your stock alternator puts out. I would certainly use capacitors (I use 5, for a total of 4 farads), but caps only smooth-out the voltage, they CANNOT produce power (the same goes for a second battery, which I DO NOT recommend), only an alternator can produce power. I would take a look at this group's FAQ at: http://www.mobileaudio.com/rac-faq/ It will have answers to many of the questions you will have, and it is also a good idea to read it from beginning to end as it will give you a good basic understanding of car audio.

My goal is too **** off the old people at the stop light with the window up. They should be able to hear the cuss words, and feel the bass. any suggestions? the fact that you say it's a regular cab leads me to believe there isn't a whole ton of room for amps, subs, etc. now I would suggest what others have, listening to a bunch of speakers with the music you wll be listening on most of the time. but, I would definetly suggest getting an amp for whatever spekers you do end up going with (not powering them off the head unit) now as far as bass goes, I think a single 12" should do more than enough in the small amoutn fo air inside your regular cab truck. I personally have a pioneer 12" sub that I love, and it was rather cheap on ebay. but in your suitation you going to probably have to find out what size box you can fit in your truck (by size i mean in cu ft) and then find a subwoofer that will work in that box. |
