Someone help me with a good setup. Money dosn't matter.

To whom it may concern:


Money is not a problem. I have some knowledge on stereo equipment, but wanted some advice. What is the best possible setup for my car. Everyone tells me to get 4 15's or 6 12's and on and on. What is the best of the best that sounds realy freaking loud.

I already have all my mids and highs setup, so lets focus on the woofers. I know i will need a custom box. If anyone wants to help me build it and set it up I will buy them somthing that has to do with stereo, such as a woofer or somthing.

Lets see who is the best please.



Thanks in advance, Phil

I am not sure what SQ, SQL, or SPL mean. I want it for mainly rap and some rock.

I want somthing that is realy nice for quality, durability, and just plain out loud. I finished the whole turbo setup and I am moving on to sound. The pic in my sig is before I had the turbo.

I am not saying that I want to spend a lot of money. I am just saying that I have no limit to spend, incase it will cost a good deal.

Someone hook me up with advice.



Later, phil

Cyko is an unknown quantity at this point
If you want hella loud in a civic get 2 13W7's or 2 adire brahma's
That will be ungodly loud and still have hella good sound too

edit: Oh and you wont fit 6 12's or 4 15's in a civic without tearing
out the back seats and doing some serious modding.

any pair or high powered woofers witha ton of watts in a ported box will amaze you....the 13w7 is a great woofer with good rep on the show scene. Im partial to Lightning Audio Storm Series woofers (cause i work there and thats what i want). you have to check out the website with different cone and magnet options to fit in any system. Im personally leaving the back seat out and going with two 18's and 4000 watts for the "HOLY S**T" factor.

I got ya covered...

1 mralternator.dot 120 amp alternator.

1 Arc Audio 2500CXL

2 Audiomobile EVO-R 12's

in 2.5 cubes ported tuned to 27hz

the port would have to be 3x12" and 45" Long.

I had a very similar setup (different amp same power) and it sounded fantastic and got loud enough to blur your vision and went insanely low. I set it up so that the subs were Firing forward because of the low tuning of the enclosure and it was awesome..

I saw that car at an autoshow, and just like all of the factory sponsored cars at the show, it sounded horrible!! For some reason, the people who had their cars hooked up as a hobby had cars that sounded much better. The polk car was the worst of all of them.
