Planning a system...

I have gone with bumps for too long already lol...

My plans are to load up with 3 10" subs, I am gonna do the spare tire sub enclosure as well as 1 in the driver-side back compartment.

I know how to do all the installing but my questions are,

Which subs are the best bang for the buck?

Im thinking JL's or kicker.

An amp as well, what would good to power all 3 subs?

Thanks in advance for the info!

JL? Bang for the buck?

These things are not used in the same sentence, ever.

Kicker CVRs are dirt cheap now. About $50-60 a pop for last year's subs. As far as an amp, check this out: http://www.amazon.com/Kicker-CompVR-07CVR104-10-Inch-Subwoofer/dp/B000N8HX90


As far as an amp, if you want cheap CLEAN RATED power, check this out:

500w RMS @ 4ohm
1000w RMS @ 2ohm
1500w RMS @ 1ohm.

I bought mine on eBay for about $120 shipped BNIB. Comes with a remote gain knob as well, which is handy.

If you're interested, here's a shot of its guts:


And here's a link to a thread with RMS testing:

Bam. Cheap Kicker comp 10s. $57 a piece.

That what I leaned towards was kickers, the thing i was indeed worried about was an amp (or amps?) to power them nicely.

I have 2 kicker comp cvr 12" in my ZX2 and they slam! I have hopes in having the same results for the wagon..

Yeah, check that amp I linked out. You'll be pleased with it.

Or you could do this:

....what...are you happy Clark, she's deaf.....

Wonder what kind of numbers that thing would do on the term lab...

Install looks okay, but the wrap job looks horrid.

if you lived closer to philly i could sell you my box 2 15,s and a 1000watt amp

Hell, if I didnt use my Wagon as a family ride I would throw 15"s in there in a heartbeat...

That is why I want to run 3 10"s so I can still use the 3rd row for seating and hauling...

that is my problem. my 2 youngest love the 3rd row and it gets old carrying that 100lb box out

You guys will all be deaf by the time you get to my age!

what jim

No fun, Jim. No sense of adventure!

I love a good adventure that I can HEAR as well as see and feel!

Oh, when I'm around... you can hear it alright. :p
