Whatever sounds best to you. Personally I'd keep my mind open and try
out as many different brands as possible and not limit to just those three. Brandonb Jonathan wrote: Personal opinions anyone? what would be the best brand to kit out a 4x4. Thanks J |

Hi,
I'm actually based in Ireland and the selection isn't good over here. The three brands above are available on the net. Was looking as to which would be the best? Also JL Audio and Kicker are an option also. I'm more looking for presonal recommendations more than anything else. Thanks for the reply Jon "Brandonb" wrote in message ...

Hi,
Thanks for the reply. I have no budget, its company funded so the budget is endless. I'm looking for subs/ amps/ component speakers, caps, the whole package.

Um, wow.
Completely funded? I want to work for your company. Out of all the brands you listed, I've heard fantastic things about JL Audio. Personally, I'm very fond of JBL, and Polk Audio. ~The Lull Jonathan wrote: Hi, Thanks for the reply. I have no budget, its company funded so the budget is endless.

driving from place to place. JL audio?! An option alright, JBL? they any good? I've heard of em, but unsure on the quality; Again apologies, alot of these brands are not able to be viewed in Ireland.

I have two JBL amplifiers, one of their 10 inch subwoofers, and I
absolutely LOVE it. Personally, I think that JBL is excellent quality - and I haven't had to argue with anybody on that point, so they certainly aren't crap... If you'd like to view my install, here's my webpage: http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2462751 If you go to that website, and click on the 'Store' tab up on the top of the page, you can check out a lot of equipment that it sounds like you haven't been looking at. The company is based in the United States, but I don't think that they'd argue too heavily about shipping things overseas... Worth a look anyway. ~The Lull Jonathan wrote: yeah its a delivery vehicle for the company so many hours will be spent driving from place to place. JL audio?! An option alright, JBL? they any good?

Well, personally out of those choices I would go with MTX. I have a pair of
MTX MXS12's and couldn't be more pleased with the SQ AND power. Audiobahn strikes me as a company who spends WAY too much on the "bling" factor (lots of chrome) and marketing. Frankly, the general consensus in this forum is that Audiobahn is not a great woofer (I know, there's always exceptions, no flames please). I really don't know much about Alphasonic's current line-up. But, I guess my ONLY concern about Alphasonic is that they seem to be an Ebay special (always lots of Alphasonic subs for sale on Ebay). You can draw whatever conclusions you want from that. Definitely check out MTX's MXS Series (or the 7500 Series, they are identical except the basket of one, 7500, is black and the basket of the other, MXS, is silver). Before these subs I owned a pair of six year old JL 12W3's and I can tell you UNEQUIVOCALLY that these MTX's have both more finesse, more punch (especially in the 60-80 Hz range, like the lower harmonics of a snare drum sound "sharper"), and more BRUTE POWER than the JL's. You can check out photos of my car and those subs at: http://www.sounddomain.com/ride/2359697 Or my own site at: http://www428.pair.com/mosfet/mtx.html MOSFET "Jonathan" wrote in message ...

AudioBahn, MTX or Alphasonik?
Cool, thanks for the info all!!!
Just curious, the space in a pick up is quite tight for subs.. would I get away with fitting them into the back pickup part of the truck? Or will this be pointless as no sound whatsover travels within the cab.. The only option I can think of is porting the subs from the back into the cabin; Which would involve some serious cutting.. Any ideas?? Thanks Jon. "MOSFET" wrote in message m... Well, personally out of those choices I would go with MTX. I have a pair of MTX MXS12's and couldn't be more pleased with the SQ AND power.

IF you got limited space there is always the option of using bass
tubes. I know bazooka makes a nice setup to where your able to just use a a high input off of the fact. radion and don't have to change head units around and are a good by for the buck!@!! |

Jonathan,
It depends on what kind of truck you have. Is it a single cab,double cab or what.Even with a single cab you can get a sealed truck box in it.I have a 10' Orion behind my seat in my single cab Dakota.JL audio,AlpineRockford Fosgate,MTX,JBL, and most of the other brands mentioned here are really good.

Jon,
Another hard question - you'll be quite the expert by the time this is all done! Putting a sub enclosure into the bed of a truck can be done. I would NEVER recommend it myself (and I doubt anyone here will say that that's your best option, either). Several online stores sell prefab truck boxes for subwoofers(http://www.cardomain.com/item/QLCQLC1UTC110 Or http://www.cardomain.com/item/QLCQLT10012SS [Here's one with the sub and amp already in it!!---] http://www.cardomain.com/item/KENKSCWD250T), or you could build one yourself... Do you have ANY space behind the seats? Is it some sort of 'king cab' truck? Or, is it a small pickup with no room between the seat and the rear window? ~The Lull Jonathan wrote: Cool, thanks for the info all!!!

Mtx is decent, but a little too popular/played out/hyped... Iirc, alphasonik and audiobahn amps used to be internally about the same as to boards. no budget, go for JL, JBL, Audison, Zapco, etc... For subs, that cut through the bed to cab is usually refered to as a blow through, except for the cutting it's a pretty cool option because it's easy to keep low profile and it increases you airspace dramatically. -- John |

Then you have room for a box inside the cab.
