My system.., ;) Options

[dustin15brown]

Hey All I got my soundsystem hooked up today and OMG is all I can say!! I'll have pics tommorow night and incase ya wondered I have 2 12" Audiobahn AW1206T (2200 watts max each) and the Audiobahn A1500HCT amp (2000x1 watts) and I would recomend this system is worth the money if you've got it to spare. The amp retails at $950 (audio-warehouse.com) and each subs at $300... that's like $1550 total plus shipping and tax.. if you'd like this set up or similar I can help as posted on the Sale forum.. This setup can be acquired from me for $900 mayb a lil cheaper. Email me or post me. Later All!!!

List the RMS, not the max W; better idea of the system.

[drnovascotia]

psst, A system isn't stock speakers and two car rattling subs. . thats just bass.

But post some pics, I wanna see the setup.

yeah max watts doesn't mean ****. you can find tin can computer speakers with advertising that will say 500W, and in reality they are like 5 watss rms. Always list RMS, and when you buy and amp, etc always look for the rms.

[tim86]

that setup would be VERY loud, and yes you might want to upgrade the door speakers because the bass will drone out the rest... i would know this is something im looking into doing very soon, oh yea and with all that power... get a capacitor

[shid]

And even if he did have tons of power, a cap isn't a good solution to the problem. Upgrading the big three is always best.

[drnovascotia]

Coomer, a cap is an excellent idea for anyone with bass, do you understand what it does ? It stores energy, then when needed it releases giving the system more power, and helping it from drain. Like a camera, it stores the energy and then releases it so it has a more powerful flash. Not only does it help, it in many cases when drawing so much power saves the alternator. I'm sure you've seen many people's lights dim when their bass hits, this is why a cap is a very good idea.

I'm still waiting on pics, hook us up!

They aren't a bandaid at all. For people in competitions, absolutly they aren't what you're looking for. But for people with a couple subs thats exactly what they are there for. Not the most knowedgeable and expereinced, it depends on application. Even with 4 gauge wiring people can benefit ffrom a cap. Most people don't want to pay for an expensive alternator and battery, like I said. For those with the money into their system however, absolutly. But to say someone with a couple subs shoulod be 0 gauge wiring, a expensive battery and alternator to power their couple subs, I disagree 100%.
Like I said, not a band-aid, just depends on application. Does that mean camera's should get better batteries because a cap to power the flash is hurting the camera? I think not. Caps merely store more energy to help when needed, drain it out and then store more. If you're system is that badass though, I agree they could hinder not help.

Haha sorry guys... The RMS on EACh sub is 1100 watts and the amp is rated at 1x2000 watts rms.. if u dnt believe me check it out for yourself... I also have a cap/battery... it's the called the batcap300 and it's pretty nice and VERY VERY loud system. I will have pics very soon

Shid... why u always gotta hate on the shi* I do? It seems seriously like eveytime I post you come right back and knock it down. Don't really see why considerin we're all a "family" here and generally nice and supportive to one another but hey do what ya gotta do I guess....
Dustin

[tim86]

yea i hate all the flaming that goes on... dustin is just showing off what he got and shid is acting like 500 watts rms isnt a lot?! Anyway, props on the system dustin, cant wait to see some pics, ill actually be getting a cap soon (maybe batcap like yours) but cant wait to check those audiobahns out

[shid]

Because I'm letting you know Audiobahn overrates their subs? and we've told u before that max watts isn't a way to rate your subs

[Ricky]

I dont think that the argument on wattage is worth the time...
Sound quality and level should be the topic of discussion. I have seen Audio systems with low wattage that sounds 20 times better than systems with higher wattage.

I seen systems with 1000Watts + than sounds like $hit

Dont worry if your system/ subs/ amps are 1000watts plus.. worry about how it sounds and that everything is properly installed.



Congratulations and good luck on your system...

[dustin15brown]

There's one pic in my profile right now of the system.. Not the best pic but it'll do for now.. and NO it's not carpeted yet.. lol I wanna do Blue carpet I think but i'm not sure yet... throw in some ideas for colors and places to get it if ya want.
Dustin

[shid]

Hide or run the wires a little more together; I think blue carpeting would make it look very nice

[BLINKYxMUNKEY]

not that bad of a system. my friend has a system like that but with 10s and that sucker hits. and like shid said hide the wires which im sure will be done,

[dustin15brown]

Yeah wires will be hidden as best they can and I'm thinkin a midnight blue carpet but I don't know where to buy some.. any ideas? and here's my car domain site for more pics http://www.cardomain.com/memberpage/629892

[tim86]

yep im jealous... sweet subs/amp/headunit man

[jbnery6465]

audiobahn flame q's are tight...it doesn't take much power to make those subs hit...my gf has one in her c230 runnin on a 250w amp and sucker hits hard...but it all depends on the setup...im thinking of getting infinity kappa components cause they're cheap but are good quality...what other brands are affordable but dont sound like s***.

[dustin15brown]

All Audiobahn is AFFORDABLE through me if that's what'd you'd like. add me one AOL at dustin15brown and I'll see if I can help you
