First thing, saying that is like saying you want your equipment stolen. I know that you want something that is loud and impresses people, right? Well, being heard far away isnt everything. I am sure you know that, but I am still saying it.nytroking002 wrote:id like the boom but id like for everyone to hear me a far ways
Next, is the $400 for just subs and a box?? If it is, i would recommend the subs Justin is selling, the Bravox BVX's. Maybe look into Hifonics sqaure Atlas's, Bill has been raving about them lately, the kicker(L7's) killers. Alpine Type R's or Kicker CVR's will get loud easily. Then, how much are you looking to spend on an amp for these?

Also what type of car/truck do you have? Do you have room for 15's 12's?? I dunno if you could get the subs Justin is selling because you would also need to add an HO alt, big 3 etc, and looks like you don't have that type of cash for it tho. I would suggest a 15" Type R and a JBL 600.1 put it in a ported box, and you should be heard far away.

If you don't want to go over the internet then I would suggest finding a local car audio shop and look into what they have. Your not going to find the greatest product at the big box stores like Best Try and Circuit Shitty. Just my 2 cents.nytroking002 wrote:im not really a person for buying off the internet.

I would not buy from Best Buy or Circuit City unless you bought Alpine Type R's there and put them in your own box. But, they will still cost a lot because you bought them from Best Buy. I would find a local dealer and see what they have. The dealer will have higher end products compared to BB or CC, but, you are still going to be paying a lot for what you get. Justin is a dealer for Bravox so it isnt like you are buying them off of Ebay. I have boughten from him and many other people have and he will not do you wrong. Maybe if you got the BVX's, you run lower power to them or you just run 1 of them until you get enough money do upgrade your electrical system. Think about it man.

No internet. You must be kidding...
Ha...well you best start being a "internet person" then. Believe me, the internet is your best friend when it comes to buying audio shit for your car. I remember I bought a audiobahn awis12p sub (rated 4000 watts peak/2000 watt RMS but its really more like 3800 watts peak/1800 watt RMS) for about $200. Then I saw the retail price at a store once. I coudlnt belive how much higher it cost in a store...nytroking002 wrote:im not really a person for buying off the internet.
First off, make sure you ALWAYS look at the RMS ratings and not the peak power. Peak power is pretty much useless. You also have to get familiar with which companies make good products and which companies make bullshit.
Now you say you want to be heard far away huh? I guess you going more for SPL (basically how loud it gets) than that little sound quality shit. Thats cool. Ill see if I can find something in your price range for you...
