I'm not knocking JBL but thats not what I would choose. They sound alright and are pretty good for the money.

Yer, obviously there are better makes out there, which is why all my audio isnt JBL, but i do like them!

The thing is with this jodie, if you spend like £500 on equipment then you're gonna have to do more than just stick them in and hope for the best.

You need to look at the big three, 0 gauge wiring throughout, uprated alternator, uprated battery, maybe a second battery. It starts to get really expensive then!

I do realise all that but i'm not thinking this install will happen overnight so just kinda wanted to see what i could get for my money and then sort it all out in time.
tbh i think it will just do my head in that much that i won't bother with it and end up in halfords buying a crappy mutant stuff instead!!

Then you'll end up with a crappy system tbh. No pain, no gain. One of the best sites on the internet to do with car audio is http://www.talkaudio.co.uk. Before rushing in and buying anything do some research on there, read the forums. Do a post like this one you did on here. They will give you some fantastic advice and steer you in the right direction.

My 2p's worth.

VTS_86 · 2nd July 2008, 12:05

I would suggest running 0 gauge wiring but a second battery and an uprated alternator is not necessary as your not running a huge system.
I ran 2x 12's / 3 amps and a power grid on a standard alternator and battery and it was fine.
To get the sound you want also comes down to box tuning. A well designed box always helps unless your just gonna get a box from halfords or somewhere like that.

VTS_86 · 2nd July 2008, 12:09

Have you checked out the new JL Audio W3v3 subs. I'm sure they will be more that enough for what you are after and sound fantastic. Mind you not sure how much they are.

DJDannyB · 2nd July 2008, 12:15

wow this post is confusing me, im reading because i want to know what to buy when i get a saxo lol. ive decided i want jbls. and the amp under a fake floor. not sure how much that will cost me :|

jodie_saxo · 2nd July 2008, 12:24

http://www.caraudiodirect.co.uk/pion...d4-p-5913.html

would two of these be too much/too powerful??

Ashleyp · 2nd July 2008, 12:27

2k of power.. mm would be a nice nose bleed.

youd need a ridiculous amp to power them

Ashleyp · 2nd July 2008, 12:32

i reccomended that pioneer from bassjunkies with a sufficient amp in an earlier post btw

was obviously ignored

but would be a huge ammout of power for less than £200

read my previous post

1 of those subs

and the jbl amp

£200 or less

1000watts RMS.. thats going to boom

VTS_86 · 2nd July 2008, 12:41

That Pioneer sub is 3000w but wonder what the real RMS read out is. I'm sure it will be pretty good but there are better sounding subs out there for around the same money.

DJDannyB · 2nd July 2008, 12:45

if its peak is 3000 the rms will be around a 1000. thats f*kin powerful

for £85 its one of the most powerful subs you can get

not sure on its SQ though

but 1000watt rms is pretty good for £85
