Hew would you like to help me figure out how to make my car sound better :D
i need subs and a new amp i think, we've cahtted about this before but i think its almost time to act on it :yesnod: :cheers:

 

No problem. What exactly do you have currently, model #s right now? Speakers, amps, sub, deck(Kenwood DVD right?), any thing else random. We'll make it pound. :cheers:

 

Kenwood KVT 910 DVD head unit
Running two polk 3 1/4's Running off the head unit)
Fostgate 6.5 components in the front (running off amp)
pioneer 6.5" 1695's in the rear Running off amp)
RF 200a4 amp :rolleyes:

 

Since you don't want to overpower what you have but you want to be able to expand later, I would get this amp:

Rockford Fosgate 2001 H250.2 Punch Power amp:
62.5x2 @ 4 Ohm or 250x1 bridged 4 ohms mono. $236.95

from http://www.mmxpress.com

And a JL Audio Stealtbox for your car.

The amp is rated to mate with the sub. The amp has RCA out as well as in which means we don't need to take apart your dash.
We pop this in and you got instant bass.
Next, if you want, we can increase the power going to the speakers with another amp, then finally upgrade the speakers. This is optional and not necessary but if you want to get to the next level, this would be the next steps.
I can help you with the install and save you some cash. I haven't found a cheap source for the steathbox so you may have to shop around.

Extra stuff you'll need:
An RCA
2 Power Blocks/Splitters
Larger Fuse

Also, we will need to decide where to put the amp. Can you mount another amp where your 200.4 is located? Similar in size.

Lastly, it will have a bass control. I don't have the specs on it but we would want to mount that somewhere so you can adjust the amount of Bass coming out.
Figure this is about $300 + cost of the stealthbox.

And stop posting pictures of my sister!


:cheers: :smash:

I am in no rush i have all winter to work on her, but she is going in the shop on Jan 7th for work for the piston rings and maybe in late march for the heads and cam :yesnod:

 

I figure we can get the stuff picked out and ready to go whenever you want. I need to see the car to get a complete shopping list. Install will take a Saturday. I'll talk to the boss about it. When do you want to do the install?

 

Its up to you i can pick the stuff up whenever, and can work around your schedule :cheers:

Dont forget to bring your sister!!!! :yesnod: :conehead

We gotta figure out what you need and make some decisions. Would it be easier to relocate the AV stuff and use the location? Would this give you more or less space than installing bass somewhere else? Based on what way you decide is best for you will determine what we need to get and also if I have the tools to do it or if you need to go to a shop to get some more major stuff done. Shoot me your # on instant message again. Maybe we can meet tomorrow around 10? How far are you from the rest stop we met at from the ride?
