Needing a new system for my CRX. So, Obviously to beat loud it doesn't have to be a big system. Right now its 2x crappy 10 inch subs and like a 400 watt amp -.- sounds ok tho, just bought the car yesterday and it came with the stuff so;.


Getting a new head unit too. AND I wouldn't mind getting some other speakers for the inside as well, but the ones inside sounds very good as is.

I would love to be under 500 total but I can spend a little more -.-

got like 750 total set aside for car stuff this month.




http://norfolk.craigslist.org/ele/3547631885.html <-- seems best if I can talk him down in price.
http://norfolk.craigslist.org/ele/3547644515.html <-- Nice as well.





Thanks for opinions.
Just getting back into this stuff so I really need the help.



Also, I can get brand new stuff but I figured this may be cheaper!



Paying for someone to help that actually knows what they are talking about

If you wanna surf Clist for me, I live in VA beach/Hampton roads VA is the area youd look under

If all you want is to add some better beats to your trunk, those two db subs look just fine.
Do you have the tools and ability to build your own box if someone designed it for you?

If it were me I would get one 12" sub (a nice one) and put it in a huge, vented, custom enclosure with an amp to over-power it.
These are pretty much the nicest subs you can buy online.

I had a Skar vvx-12 (rated 600w) and I was pushing about 750w through it and it took it all day every day!
Very loud and deep in the box I built.

I snagged the amp and 2 subs.

Subs sound great, amp is a little powerful. May list it on craigslist to find something a little smaller.

quantum audio is a flea market brand. that stuff isn't worth the material used to make it.

on the kenwood stuff...

those subs brand new only cost $82 COMBINED.
the box $60 at most
the amp is old as hell as well. its a 2nd generation while the newest is 5th generation...and the new one is only $140 brand new.

total $282 for all of that stuff brand new. you got screwed.

Just gotta find a good one to push the subs I got.

you were screwed ever harder on that quantum audio stuff. you can buy that stuff for $200 at the flea market. its worse than boss/dual/pyramid/power acoustik/other walmart junk brands.

for that money you could of bought a real setup instead of overrated, poor build quality, mexican flea market stuff.

sorry i didn't see this thread before you pulled the trigger because you basically got robbed.

I paid 400 for the subs and amp with the box as well.

I honestly have heard nothing bad about DB stuff, not to mention it sounds good in my car.
I drive a CRX, it doesn't really matter what is in there -__-
Amp is meh but like I said, I can list it on craigslist again and find something else to put in.





Like I said, feel free to post stuff better and I can scoop it up. I can have this stuff sold in a day or two if need be.

the amp is basically a fire hazard on its best day.

the subs might be okay but that amp needs to go before it ruins itself and the subs in a spectacular way. db drive hasn't really made much of a reputation for itself in the years they've been around but i haven't heard anything particularly bad about them although no one really talks about them to begin with.

sell the amp for what you can and grab either of these:

I'd like to keep the subs for now, ill list the amp tonight and if I can sell it I will.

Wouldn't mind getting another one soon.

Once I get my taxes back this week I'll snag something


only thing is everyone around here just sells the big name stuff

Rockford
Kenwood
etc
I would have to order something.


also, suggestions for subs incase I sell it all.



I have a small car but I want it to be loud.

Shouldn't be hard tho.
