Years ago I had a 12 inch Orion Extreme driven with a Cobalt220 amp wired for 2 ohm, a pair of Sony 6x9 Bi-Ampable speakers driven with a Kenwood amp mounted in the back deck and a pair of Sony 1 inch Titanium tweeters. I had this all wired through a 12 band EQ with a 12 db gain, fader control and seperate control for the subwoofer. I had an Alpine cassette deck. All of this was mounted and hidden in a rusty, dented 4 door 1969 Valiant.
I lost the lower end of my hearing. Oh well, it was worth it back then! _________________ -2nd Person to Join

WOW! Back then 2 ohm was where you wanted your subs. It's been over 15 years since I even looked at or considered buying car stereo stuff. Your car must sound incredible! _________________ -2nd Person to Join

hello,this is the only time i`ve really answered to a post since long before i used a pc.i,20 years ago had what i thought was the best sounding stereo ever put in a car,,,2 kenwood home steroe speakers(the kind that are 3' tall & 3 speakers per unit).it was so clear and loud.recently i had a 800 watt amp into 1 12" and 4 6x9.obviusly it didn`t sound quite as good as a pro job,but not bad for a newby.when i blew the 12" sony explode,it got hooked up to the 4 6x9.you can now hear me 1-1/2 blocks away,but totoal mid-range.anyway,i`m just rambling on,got a friend who does compotitions like you,it`s insane how awesome his car sounds......so i`m just a dreamer. |
