I came here asking if 2 10" xenons would be good subs. I was probobly gonna run a hifonics amp and polk comp set

I now have a pretty damn good first system if I do say so myself:

TLD 66
LPL 44
x100.2
x600.1
RSD 6.5 comp set
RSD 12
100sqft RAAMMAT
and $270 worth of KnuKonceptz wiring

I love you guys

Now I just have to get it installed

Looks like a hell of a good system too me. I'm still trying to buy all of my stuff.

Congrats.

hehe, i remeber that first post. that system will rock your socks off, nice job

Oh man that is a sick system.

And considering what you pay in the stores up here, you probably got it cheaper than your typical Xplod setup as well!

Shipped In CND I paid about $1450, not bad considering my friend paid $2000 for a 12W7 and a JL500/1

Why? Will it be better

wow, 1450, not too shabby

Post by **Bfowler** » Wed Apr 25, 2007 8:05 am

then a W7 with only 500watts, yes. that thing will be under powered. if he had a 1000.1 it would be a little different

Well then thank you fowler, you just gave me morning wood, actually its afternoon wood now, becuase his sub is pretty damn insane.

Too bad he's running stock civic speakers

Some people kill me, he wonders why he cant hear the actual song.

No kidding, that sub is way underpowered. But he could get another 500/1, one for each VC.

That would have cost him another 1000

Sucks to be Canadian!! $1000 for a 500/1. Surely he could get one cheaper somewhere?

Audio Shop markups are insane

Finally... someone else who feels my pain.

Just for reference, back when I did my setup..

Elite 5 components... $1600
Ti900.7... $3500

Xenon 100.4 and 600.1 were over $1k last I checked. I don't go there too often.

I really sometimes wonder how car audio is even so popular in Canada, if it wasnt for the internet I would just say fuck you to car audio, becuase I refuse to buy a future shop system like everyone else.

I wonder what my bro paid for a cyclone and 2 bandits back in the day

You Americans really have NO CLUE how lucky you are. I keep saying if one company could make connections with every major car audio manufacturer, to import their products at US cost, they would basically own the Canadian car audo market and would become a milionaire within a year.

I feel the same way.

Tom and the guys on this forum made my stereo what it is today. I'm happy and grateful! I love doing things myself but nothing beats a solid group of people for support and insight.

Capital_M · Post by **Capital_M** » Thu Apr 26, 2007 2:08 pm

Damn I cant wait to hear this set up, Im hoping for a 10/10 for a first system

besides gaining audio insight, you got a "stupid newbie" avatar stamped next to your name

Capital_M · Post by **Capital_M** » Thu Apr 26, 2007 2:14 pm

Yes, yes I did

Ok joke incoming, some jovial english humour coming up.

I didnt know retired policemen made car audio setups.

/watches it whoosh over heads.

Let's see who can work it out

A plod is a cop and an "Xplod" (ex-plod) would be a retired or ex-cop?

AMIRITE?!?
