*******WARNING - NEWBIE + CHIC = PATIENCE PLEASE *********
Let Me Start With What I Have Now & I Would Love Advice on Good/Bad/Stay/Go - Drive in River & Start Completly Over :
*2000 Ford F150 Extd Cab - (w/ no desire or room for 'riders' in backseat)
*Eclipse CD5442 ESN E5 High Power (Don't have the Optional DSP/EQ
*Orion Cobalt CS200.4 running:
- Polk DX3055 5.25" & 1" tweet's in cust plate 4 front dr panels (just got)
- Eclipse 85741 5x7 - these were kicked 2 rear b/c Polks were good $
Here's where it gets sticky.... "I Own" these & have been unhappy w/ sound quality since 1st day (Had To Learn the B Stock Lesson)
*Lanzar Vibe240 (I think it is 800 Max?)
- 2 12" Kicker CompVR (2001) - Prefab deep sealed box (Big, Bulky)
( I - that said, pls keep in mind keeping these Kickers long term - not happenin' I Desperately need advice on 2 offers avail now and/or if I should suck it up longer & to go high $$$ (I want 2 12" JL W6v2 in custom box, & a million $'s if anyone is donating!)
New Amp on way (warranty swap issue = Here's what u get- like or not!
- I am assuming it is QXM-2165-GTX since only info I got - "Sony 1000W Xplod Amp" - Is anyone familiar w/ another model they could be refering to?
- Considering I'm 98% pos. the Lanzar is B stock, will this amp be better for subs? Any sugg's on what to do (short of selling it --- I've been informed strongly of everyone's opinions on the forum boards around the net when Sony is mentioned!
Friend has following subs avail & within my budget Right Now & I am about feed up w/ jacking with these Kickers!
- 2 12" Xplod XS L1235 in what I can only assume is a custom box b/c I can't find anything on web - Looks like a treasure chest shaped bandpass box (plexi top, blue, crome port holes w/ neons inside says"PowerStorm" on front *(They r in my truck on loan to try b/c I was if'y on Sony Subs BUT they don't sound bad, only complaint - needs more thumpin bass so my neighbors can hear!! (The dude said if I wanted them he'd adjust amp to proper Ohm / (this was b4 I heard about the new amp) (Also are these Subs not Rated bout same as my Kickers?)He's asking $250 but I think that may be a lil too high??
- 2 12" JLW6 (yr?? used??) for $300 but need Box & would b xtra $
(My issue w/ this - if I'm gonna go JL I'd rather get NEW W6V2 & for their $$$$ - from auth. dealer!)
Sorry for such a long post but I am so on this topic b/c the only responses I've gotten aren't answering ?'s
(Maybe I should also add, my 1st system was in a 98 Camero & I went all Fosgate (Unfortly- This was right about the time RF went ) - Head Unit, CD Changer, 3-ways in all 4 panels runnin off 400.4, 2 12"'s runnin ?800.2? in Hatchback (if anyone knows where I can get a hatchback for my Ford, PLEASE let me know & I suspect all my issues would be solved!!!)
