2001 Lightning

2 Solo baric square L7's (10's) Wanted 12's but they said no way thats gonna fit.

Kicker amp (800 watt or something I think)

JVC headunit.

Capacitor

And all other stuff that needs to hookup.

I really dont care about the stock speakers so Im gonna put bass blocker, all I'm really looking for is a lot of bass. All this installed plus box build and everything for 1600? So you think it will be enough bass?

 

I already had something similar. I would go to a single 10L7 in a ported box, lose the JVC head unit and go with Alpine or Eclipse. And for the door speakers, get 3 way components.

 

Well enough depends on what you consider enough. Some think 1 sub is enough and some think two is nuts, for me 3 is almost enough, but it could more for those days when you want to go nuts.

sounds like a good system, but I would swap out the stock speakers before I would even add any subs.

 

2 solobaric 12's won't fit? oh my god, why didnt they tell me that a year ago?!? now i have to take them out.

Hey Clonetek, I just got a pair of 12 L5's....do you know the specs on your box and would you be willing to let me know what the measurments are. I currently have a Rockford 600a4 amp but am planning on going to the Kicker 1200.1....how do your subs sound, they must rock the L....Ed

 

OMG!! Brooks you are my HERO!!! Im going to give you a call sometime tomorrow, I have to have more details on how to get this project of the ground. I have your name on the computer at the shop. THANK YOU!!!

Here are two pics of my old set up, they are 10L7s in a sealed box with 1.0cf per driver.


This is my new set up with a single 10L7 in a ported box. It hits just as hard and sounds cleaner. Excuse the crappy wiring and amp rack. They are only temp.

 

WaveBlaster785: i don't have specific measurements on the box, but they came out to .88 cubic feet in each chamber.. thats what the L7's need for minimum air. i don't know if the L5's need different air space.

i took the carpet/trim off the back wall and gained about an inch of extra room for the box.

i have a ZX600 running the subs at 2ohm mono. 1200watts!
it's hit 140+ on a DB meter. more than enough to make your ears ring for a couple of hours.. lol

2000F250V10: no problemo.. i'll be glad to help ya. i'll try to remember to carry the phone with me while i mow the yard in the morning.

the "amp" in the middle is actually a 15 farad capacitor, but my headlights/interior lights still dim a little.. cant really tell cause at full volume everything is kinda blurry from my head shaking.

 

Think about upgrading your mids and highs too, maybe something like a 3 way speaker and amping them too, then it will really sound great. you'll have a nice all around system not just a loud strong bass straight from the ghetto, DOG...
Just my 2 cents ...

 

don't be a cheap punk!!! At least put a decent pair of 6x8's in front doors, I would suggest components.

The 2 solobarics will be loud and will without doubt cover up the rear speakers, and will overpower the front speakers enough so that it won't be a great sound. Remember there's mid's and high's in music also.

We'll talk more when I see you.

 

Justin: i uploaded more pics... enjoy

 

Thanks Brooks, I went to the local guy and he gave me a stupid look when I showed him your pics and he said well I guess we can do it but it look slike you wont have enough room for speaker area. These local guys **** me off.
