What to do with the system?

4.7Ram5.7Rango · Nov 28, 2010

Need so help fellas. Christmas is coming up, and I wanna do an upgrade or 2 to the stereo. :********:

Im not sure how much there will be $$-wise, so I have a couple different plans..

A) All new door speakers + amp

B) All new door speakers

C) 3rd 10" in center-console homemade box (running off the same amp I have)

D) Getting a new box to replace the pos I have now (Foxbox maybe?)

If anyone has any deals floating around, or know of any, gimmie a shout. Also suggestions would be great. I LOVE a lot of bass, thats my "thing". But I also want to hear the music too.......Im not 16 anymore, haha. My sub setup is "ok" now, but Im not happy at all with it really. Thanks for looking!

what kind of box do you have now?

My one 12 has plenty of bass and it's not so much where I need to amplify the door speakers. I have pioneer 6x9 and Memphis 6.5 and a pioneer 12 for the sub. Sounds great I can hear all the mids and highs and can pound the lows.

Im not sure what the hell kinda box it is.... it looks like the regular ol ebay box. I do know its ported, and it was originally for 2 12's, but replaced those with 10's, so we put in a ring spacer/adapter. If I could still get decent power to the subs, I'd like to run 3 10's. The amp I have now is a "600w" amp, so it should push them decently enough I would think.

I think to most folks my setup now would be plenty. It rattles things around in the cab and outside it sounds just like a trunk rattling (not braggin, lol, sounds like ****). But if my eyes aint bouncin around it just dont seem right

The highs really need to be my main priority. The stockers are about shot. I wanna do it all at once, amp and all, but I might have to settle for barely-above-stock replacements

Edit: 'Scuse the mess

I have a single 12 in my console pushed by a 300 mono, and its plenty, granted i want a bigger amp, but it all does its job. I think you'd be better off getting a 12 and bigger amp, than running 3 10s, but then again I've never been a big fan of 10s. As far as building, just make sure to mock it up in cardboard first to be sure that everything will fit.

Looks like maybe a Foxbox? or, similar? As far as speakers, with what ever is in your budget, go with what ever sounds best for what you listen to. You'll get a million different suggestions, but it's your ears, and your wallet.

I had a set of rockford highs back in the day, they were awesome. I think this is a pretty decent find, what yall think?

ROCKFORD FOSGATE P1694 6x9"+P1653 6.5" SPEAKERS PACKAGE - eBay (item 300491067685 end time Dec-08-10 14:16:00 PST)

wouldnt need much amp, what do yall suggest as far as wattage and all? Im thinking no more than 400w is needed

You wont be able to get the crazy loud bass that you want from under the seat sub boxes, just isnt enough room under there. Although a foxbox or something similar will definitely sound better than the cheapo mdf ebay boxes (Thats what im stuck with too).

On a side not, today I was at a local stereo shop and met up with a friend there to see his new system in his tahoe...8 RE 10s, a Kicker 2500 watt amp, and custom fiberglass box. Talk about bass...

^^^ thats lot of bass

Bear, if you've already got aftermarket everything, i'd start replacing the weak points. looks like the sub box needs some help. you'll be shocked how well a foxbox or custom fiberglass box will improve the bass. if you like the bass and the door speakers are adequate now, start with the bass. when more funds come start replacing the other things
