I'm still a big fan of the hifonics amps and alpine type r's.
I would get 2 12" r's in a good custom ported box (around 2 cuft each tuned to 40ish hz) and a hifonics bxi 1200.1 or 1500.1. That should put you in low/mid 140's db range probably.

O really?

please explain that one with a break down with prices.

maybe you should change your screen name???

sounds like you don't think visonik is FTW anymore...



Back on topic: there is a lot more to it than throwing the stuff in your. You want to be into the 140s loud, you better have a clue.

Stock electrical? might not handle it, at least upgrade the big 3

Power wire? You need bigger wire to pull the current for big boy amps

Pre-fab box? Just won't cut it. Period. You'll need to learn something about enclosure design.

Buying new equipment is pointless if you don't get on the right track.

Oh Billy...

hifonics 1200.1 = $175 ebay

12" Alpine type r's = $250 ebay

Enclosure (materials) $50.00

Cheap amp Kit (maybe able reuse his?) If not $50.00 (cheap kit.)

So yeah, give or take $500.00

It's in a early 80's hatch back mustang. I'd say low 140's is possible, and maybe mid 140's if you really try.

The key is a decent box design, I'm sure you, ryan, mike or terry would be willing to design him a decent box for some cash????

1 of your Amps = $100
4 12" Ground Pounder subs from me = $120

Its possible, maybe.

Not enough power for 4 of those. Also add 1/0 install wire = 120

batteries deck rca's that shit ads up quick trust me i know. when your order 8 sets of each its mad expensive lol

Well...

If I could get the SVC could wire all 4 to 1 Ohm... That amp have what 1000 WRMS? should be enough.

I can do a 1/0 kit for under $120, unless someone wants to pay $120... lol

Negative there 500rms at 1

Ooohhhhhh...

Well 1 amp will work with 2 of these subs then DVC 4 Ohms

You're lucky with a hatchback, though i duno how loud those mustangs get. I'd say a good place to start with box design would be a CRX style box. Sub up ports back. Works well in many hatch backs, but i'm not real familier with the ole' stangs. I'm sure bill or someone else might have a better idea on what those cars like to get loud. Mid 140's is a very respectable score. I think alotta guys don't realize how loud it is. Everyone wants to be in the 150's and has never even experienced it lol. Takes some work that's for sure.

I don't see him having any problems hitting low to mid 140's with the hatch.

We did a throw and roll (quick install) in my cousins durango and it did a 140.7 db.

2 12" type r's (4 cuft tuned to 35hz) running off a 1200.1.

He had like 550 into EVERYTHING including a used kenwood deck.

That's with a 4 gauge wiring (which is 17ft long ) and with a crappy battery. A box geared more towards spl, a new battery, big 3, and 2 gauge wiring would really help to improve his score.

Edit: He did replace the battery. We're going to do the big 3 and run new wire to the amp when we try another box design here shortly.
