Subwoofer Upgrade to Bose Touring Stereo

bigaudiofanat · 01-10-2010, 05:22 PM

Just have to ask why all JL stuff? There is better stuff for cheaper. Like Focal, polk, and image dynamics even alpines higher end stuff is nice.

Mainly I chose JL because I had it in the past (that and Memphis high-end stuff).

Honestly, I would take any recommendation by someone that knows. I am not an expert in this though if you need to build a datacenter I can help

I was looking at Crutchfield because I don't have a local shop (that I trust/have a relationship with).

I need a car project because I have yet to do anything to this one (lights were someone else). Feels like it really isn't mine until I do.

If you have a recommendation or any of this, I am all ears.

Crutchfield has amazing customer service and is great for some items that you will purchase. I just got my Sat radio Eclipse avn726 interface from them and received it 2 days later for free. Cost was lower than wooferetc. which has fantastic prices compared to retail and where I bought my head unit. Onlinecarstereo is good too but you have to photo copy some items later that night when they call you and verify you are who you say you are. I received my Jl 12W6v2 sub for like 300 bucks from them in a perfectly sealed new box and also bought wires and such with no problems. I would recommend them too.

BigA hates on JL and pimps Image Dynamics all the time but prices on a comparable sub in their higher end line will cost you close to the same $.

I like JL because they are made right here in Florida, have awesome quality and well known in the industry as one of the best.

You can buy a cheaper car but you bought a Nissan 370.

Good advice and thanks for the links. Watched all of your install videos. Great work man, very helpful.

You went with the HD900/5 on yours right? So did you go 150Wx2 / 500x1? What did you use for front speakers? What works well with 150W?

Yes, right now 150x2 and 500x1 to the sub

I must say that I feel lately that I am missing a fullness ( rear fill )

I went with Boston Pro60 se components up front and have given it quite a few months with just the fronts. The longer I am in the car cranking away it sounds awesome. But when I first get in every day I feel it needs the rears. My ears are not lying to me and I will be adding some rears, maybe even try fiberglassing some pods to house some 6.5 coaxials and then run my amp 100X4.

Rear hatch are 5 1/4 too right? Maybe I should just by 100 watt RMS all around.

That HD900/5 look slick. Can't beat the space savings.

From what I have heard on here from others is that the rear area holds 3.5 inch speakers. Which is why I was thinking of fabricating something.
