Top Article there Aaron. CAA use to be a fantastic resource for this stuff, but from what i can tell it has been dieing a slow death.

With regards to a budget SQ setup you covered it very very well. In refrence to the "you dont need to spend $1500" comments, you covered this aspect very very well.

My setup is by no means a pro SQ setup however, what you listed for $1500 would make for a more than adiquate 1st SQ setup, all for the cost of my HU and power cable.

Alpine CDA-7969R
Stinger Pro / Street Wires ANL power setup
MBQuart refrence Rear fill (volume on 0 99% of the time)
Actively powered Morel 8 + 3.5" + MBQuart refrence tweeter (somone chuck me some supremo's)
2x Orion HCCA12D's
2x Orion XTR800.4's
1x Orion XTRPRO2400D (pending)

You can see once you go past a setup similar to your $1500 recomendation, the laws of deminishing returns really kick in.

Nice work Pyroay


Thanks.

Law of diminishing returns i would say certainly comes in about the $3k or $4k mark.

Budget! What budget? I wouldn't consider my system super high end when my gear was new it wasn't exactly cheap though, consider this an Alpine 7620e $1539, an Alpine 5980 $1099, an Alpine chm-630 $599, a Rockford Fosgate Punch 60ix $799, a Rockford Fosgate Punch 40ix $599, Kef Uni-q's $599.
Thats over $5000 with no subs (as they have now sold) and that was in 1994, and that doesn't include wiring, installation, capacitors, sound deadening etc.
It is very easy to get carried away and budgets are rarely stuck to!!!!
Cheers, Outlawxr6....

Yes indeed thats true.

has anyone heard of a Planet Audio FU12-2 Sub. I got one, but it seems to be a very picky sub, when it comes to enclosure size. I know it can go much harder and sound much better then what it does at the moment. It sounds awesome when you sit inside the car crank it up, but when you stand around the back, with the boot open, its sound crap. Everyone just tells me to put it in the right enclosure size, but i cant find the specs for it at all on the net.

Please Help

$1500?

Thats hardly budget in my books.

i spent about $360 on a subwoofer, box, amp and wiring package,

the sub is sony, the amp audioline.

It sounds pretty good, dont need to spend that kinda money.


Lol 1500 is budget. $360 dollars is 3rd world. lol
