Last week installed two twelve inch subs from alpine, and a amp from alpine as well... got everything including installation and alpine box for about 900 from Avenue Sound in Freeport, NY



i love it and get alotta compliments. will take pictures sometime this week

 

that is one hell of a deal... This place in Utah wanted to charge me somewhere around 650-700 to install one 12 and a ported box...I already have an amp. They said it was because of the type of car and that it is new.

 

They look good.

 

Is the bass too much ? considering the rest of the speakers are stock...

 

man i bet that sounds great . . . i bet your rearview mirror shakes like a **** though, mine does stock! (with ML)

 

naaa bass isnt too much, i love it and everyone else seems to like em as well(hope they arent kissing *** lol)

So yea in my opinion it does sound great, and the rearview mirror shakes SOOO much im gonna try and take video soon though

 

I cant wait to see pics, I'm probably going to see if they can do a little more to my car,
maybe replace a few stock speakers and add another amp, thanks for all the replies Franky!

 

can that single amp handle the power of both the 12" ?

 

The amp in the picture is the Alpine MRD-M605, which produces 600 watts at 2 ohms. That's plenty enough power for those subwoofers.

 

Hey cmusic, do you recomend just adding 2 10"' subs and also just adding more watts to the stock speakers?? My question is basically, do you think supplying more power to the already exisiting oem speakers will sound dramatically better? I was told by a very-well known high end shop that it will.. What do you think?


Thanks

 

not sure how well that would work since the signal for the speakers are crossed over by the factory amp. the only options i could think of is using either an Audio control LC8 or JL cleansweep to feed the signal into and convert it to RCA output into aftermarket amps, but if you keep the stock speakers you would probably have to get some type of crossover to split the signal between the mids and tweeters. im sure cmusic will chime in with more info.

 

Pics..............We need pics..............We need pics...........We need pics..............We need pics........

 

 

That's a good price. I had 1 12" Kicker L7 sub, Kicker amp, and digital cap installed for 681. The stock speakers hold up well against the bass.

 

hey franky..you cant start threads without pics!! thats the rule lol or do i have to come over there and see it in person??
