    Re: Complete system upgrade.

    My budget for subs and an amp is $700. I have a total of $1000, but I'm holding some back incase I need the altenator and for my enclosure build. The enclosure build is a first for me. I used to be a solid sealed only guy, but I've decided to give ported a shot this time. I was planning on finding a 2.5 cubed per sub design on fatbox and emulating their build. That is if I go with the XFL'S. I'm not sure on that yet. I have to finalize my product selection first. And yes, this set-up is for my Blazer, the Cobra is going away.

    Re: Complete system upgrade.

    Are you planning on using head unit to power the stock speakers ?
    Or will there be an amp for new speakers? Some coaxial or 6 x 9 's ?

    Looks like you are doing an SQL system ! ( sound quality LOUD )

    SoundQubed has a nice selection of subwoofers as well. Their amps usually aren't priced too terribly bad either.
    Are you not entertained?!?!

    Will the enclosure hold 2 subs? One port, maybe centered, multi-directional option would be a plus.

    If you can rotate the box ( forward/backward/up , thiss will help with what position works best! I

    Re: Complete system upgrade.

    Sound quality is important, but I also want car shaking loudness. My idea of loud might not be on the same level as what you guys can do. Lol. Ive been wondering about box position, and which way to fire the port. I haven't got that far yet. My job sent me on a road trip which altered my build time.

    Re: Complete system upgrade.

    Thanks for post, I was wondering. With connections on one end of box, facing box in diff direction is easier. More of the systems I have heard are run into the gas station loud! You want to hear it through closed glass doors LOUD. Usually, some speakers powered off h.u. and a couple in the box.

    I have heard a single twelve that was louder and cleaner/clearer sounding than a 15 and in my opinion was the quality of the system ( it cost more ).

    I put together the system with the twelve and asked the guy to show it to the guy who had the fifteen and thought it was all that . I did the next system for the guy with the fifteen with better quality pieces ( cost more and performed like it! )
