whos got the ultimate soundsystem in their titan?

onehundredk · 11-02-2006, 09:53 PM

I keep debating over what my sound system is going to be. i am a HUGE JL audio fan, but none of their subs will work, unless i go with a custom box, and i just want it simple. I am looking for something either dual 10" or dual 12" ~1000 watts to each. so lets see what you guys think, also recommend an amp with it...so far i am looking at the kicker L7s, but would love other ideas. Thanks

your budget is a big deal in this situation.

minimum funds = pioneer hands down
no limit = boston acoustics

subs

cheap = audio bahn or mtx
no limit = JL's or Kickers.

personally im trying to figure out what I want in my titan. My tacoma I had a pioneer deck and mids. 2) Eclipse 10" subs and a HiFonics amp.

so looks like the L7s would be a good choice then eh?...what do you think about Orion subwoofers, their HP10 (1000watts 10" sub) looks pretty good

i havent used orions. I can ask a buddy who is an audio goon.

Those bigger speakers usually need a bit of mounting depth....something the titan is limited to if you wanna keep your back seat

onehundredk · 11-02-2006, 10:20 PM

ya the mounting depth on the orions are 5.25" which is pretty slim...I am looking more into kicker, i think i prefer circular over square...the CompVX looks alot more pleasing to me (same specs as the L7)...another thing that isnt really lighting a bulb for me is the amp..the kicker zx1000.1 looks good, but i also dont want to buy two, because of the powerdrain on the titans electrical..so im thinking of sequencing the two subs together. i dont know..maybe you know more than me on this stuff

what about the JL Stealthboxes? 2 10's plenty of juice...fits on one side. 500 watts and your golden...

If your not willing to make a box there isn't much you can do.

I would say Kyle Stillen has the best set up on this site!! I could be wrong though.

True that.... Are you going to try and fit it under the rear seat. If so I would think my P3s will compete with the best. If you don't care about any room in the back then what he said

....

I have a custom box under the back seat with 2 new 12" kicker comps. They are way too much......

onehundredk · 11-03-2006, 11:59 AM

are your comps the VX comps? 1500watts?

What amps are you planning to run?

1000w each will probably require a new alternator and at least one new battery.

I'll third that

I have 4 Resonant Engineering RE 8's in a ported box, and its crazy loud. I used to recommend RE alot but they have been bought out by Planet Audio and their prices have gone through the roof. I would suggest Soundplinter RL-i 8's, those little subs are nuts. Check out what just one of them can do

new alt and battery isnt a problem, i was going to do that anyways...im in a tangle as far as amp is too..id just like to get 2 10s around 1000w and hopefully someone could recommend a good amp for this...also im not too fimilar with 4ohm/2ohm...anyone kno the difference...if this helps i like bassy music

You need to first pick out what subs you want to run, then pick out an amp that suits them. As for 4 ohm or 2 ohm, that just depends on what amp you are going to get and how you are going to wire your subs. Most sub amps these days are most efficient at either 1 ohm or 2 ohms mono, so you should shoot for that when wiring your subs (i.e. running 2 2 ohm 10"s in parallel will get you a 1 ohm load).
