plan for a system...what do u think

**Fcukit33** · 07-05-2012

so heres the plan i made for componets to replace the factory monsoon system in my 07 GP GT

Head unit
Kenwood DDX418 DVD receiver at Crutchfield Outlet
w/ gmos 100 conector

Amp
Amazon.com: MRX-V60 - Alpine 5-Channel Subwoofer Amplifier: Car Electronics

Speakers 3 sets one in the doors one on the rear deck one in the trunk
JL Audio VR650-CXi Full Range Car Speakers at Onlinecarstereo.com
JL Audio TR350-CX Full Range Car Speakers at Onlinecarstereo.com this will run off the factory monsoon amp

Subs
JL Audio 12W1v2-4 Component Car Subwoofers at Onlinecarstereo.com

the amp 2 subs and 1 set of speakers will in a custom box i make in the trunk.
so what do you guys think ? is that 3rd set of speakers over kill?

I think it sounds good, but two 12's are a tad overkill in our cars. They generally rather heavy and a single 10 can sound just as good.

i second that, running a single 12 now and it sounds good and broke my mirror off. our cars are shaped perfectly for trunk systems to be loud.
im going 2 big 12s this month just cause im big in audio

**gtpeddie** · 07-05-2012

i have 2 12's and rarely ever listen to music loud my rear view mirror always vibrates off

**Sven the Sexman** · 07-05-2012

I also have 2 12's (JL 12W6v2's) but am stepping down to a single 10 Fi Audio.

**Fcukit33** · 07-06-2012

I wanna go with 2 subs for he symetry of the box in the trunk. So do u hink 2 10s would be a better fit

**Fcukit33** · 07-06-2012

in the process of looking around for a set of 10s i found these
JL Audio 12WX-4 Component Car Subwoofers at Onlinecarstereo.com

seam to be a better sun for 3/4 the price....Am i missing something ...im not trying to cheap out but saving 60$ and getting some better bang wouldent hurt

EDIT__im finding this sub as low as $62....am i missing something?

**Steven Monteith** · 07-06-2012

The speakers are definitely not over kill. Those subs will give you a little thump and thats about it.

**TJeno** · 07-07-2012

I really lean against JL..I just think you can get a lot more bang for your buck. The Alpine Type R in a good ported box is a very good budget sub, but you could go with a smaller company called Sundown Audio. Great subwoofers at even better prices.

**jteske88** · 07-07-2012

there is so many more choices for the money, re audio,sundown, fi, man expand your horizons beyond that jl crap.

**Fcukit33** · 07-07-2012

Ordered the subs and amp yesterday...seamed like too good of a deal to pass up...as far as wireing goes im hinking of going with all knukonceptz stuff 0/11 guage amo kit and there mid priced speaker and rca cables....unless any one has a better sugestion. I just like how they post cross sections of there wire compared to other brands

You obviously didn't listen about the subwoofers, but I agree with BHeat - go with knuKonceptz.

**Bheat55** · 07-09-2012

Go with the knuKonceptz. I have been reading alot of good stuff about it thinking of giving it a whirl myself. I have always used Stinger products, i think they are the best out there, but they are rather pricey, compared to the knukonceptz.

**1LoudGrandPrix** · 07-09-2012

Knu is the nicest stuff i've ever owned... what I've owned: kicker, stinger, memphis, street wires, schose, Knu.

And for the quality, the price isn't bad.

**Fcukit33** · 07-10-2012

Lol this forums real funny

But thanx for he anwsers

**BillBoost37** · 07-10-2012

For what it's worth guys.. I used Knu based on friends that believe in higher end. Stuff is amazing.

And +1 on a single 10 stuffed in teh corner to keep your trunk space

Agreed. Have your buddy do some custom fiberglassing and mold your two enclosures right into the trunk, that's what I would do if I could do my system again.
