hello everyone im new on here. I have a 1988 Chevy S10 Blazer. And i was wondering if anyone had any suggetions on a cheap but good system i could put together that would be very loud. I dont have a big budget right now but i just would like suggetsions on a way to put together a veryloud system. Give me ideas from head unit, to amp, subs, and other components. I have another question for anyone who can help i accelerate and my subs quit hitting as hard. When i hit the brakes or if somone gets off the backseat theyll hit hard, so any suggestions that i can receive on how to build the cheap loud system. Im me at drivntoytota thats an aim sn

I have an Audiovox hu, one lightning audio 12inch sub, and one sony xplod 10"sub. a pyrimid artic series 240 amp. i have another question how can i keep all my amp power from going to my 6X9's and get all of my power goin to my subs. If you can help me build the loudest system i can on a tight budget id appreciate it.

You need to give some idea of a budget....
I could name off something that would hit hard that costs $10,000 easily. With the equipment you have now though, I am pretty sure $10,000 is a tad unreasonable.
There is a huge amount of options our there, and you are going to have be more specific.

.......and you'll have plenty of money left over for duct tape or screws to secure it in front of the subs! ------------- Build the box so that it performs well in the worst case scenario and, in return, it will reward you at all times.

if i got 3 12's how many amps would be best for max output. any suggestions on hard hitting 12's would be appreciated.

It would depend on the 12's as to the amp you need. You wanna get loud on a budget so try this. Buy a matching lightning audio 12, get a ported box, get a jbl 600.1, get a deck like a jvc 800 that has 4 volt preouts, you should be in your price range and should get you oud. As to your other problem with the amp loosing power with acceleration I am betting on your ground being crap but you might want to get a pro in your area to check it out

well running 2 diffrent types and sizes of subs is a big fault to start with, crossphase and you probably losing more bass then if one one of them were running

the reason my subs are diffrent sizes is because when i bought the LA sub it said it was a 10" sub so i bought a 10" box and when i got home it was a 12" sub. i didnt want to take neither back so i just got a 12" box and a 10" sub to go in the 10" box. Raven should i fire the subs front ways or backwards towards my bumper to get better sound ive seen a Boss Audio box where the one sub was facing up one facing down and the other was facing up.
