Subbie For VZ SV6

[the_trademarc]

Not sure if this has been posted, had a look couldn't find anything solid.

Wanted to know what the best system was to put in my car. I want to leave the head unit stock (i.e Blaupunkt), but was thinking about stickin a Subbie into the back.
Just wanted to know the best brand, output, set-up, and a rough price, or if anyone has a good kit already, what they've got and what it costs.

And also, this may be a stupid question, but suppose I needed my bootspace for a road trip (I do a few a year which is why I havent got a subbie yet), is it possible to have it taken out and put back in easily?

Thanks guys

How long is a peice of string? You can spend anywhere from about $200 - 2nd mortgage.

Start with how much you want to spend and we can throw some ideas your way

[the_trademarc]

Lol.
Well I wouldn't want to spend more than $700-$800

[Philthy]

Oh, and do you just want it to be loud or do you want it for the added sound quality they give.

And yes, they can be taken out easily enough for holidays and crap like that

A bit of A and a bit of B really.
I've noticed when you pump up the stock stereo, even with the Audio Distorter off, it kinda still is a bit distorted.
I'm not sure whether the RCA outputs would solve that problem.
And I guess, you can't have your music too loud, as long as you know where to have it loud and where not to.

Heres a good solution for you: Shopping Secure - Car Audio Specialists - VIBE CBR12 With Amplifier

Its relatively loud, and has some good sound quality to it. Its benifits include:

1. You can plug the ports to fine tune the sound you like.
2. The amplifier is built into the box
3. The box has handles
4. There are high level inputs on the amplifier for directly connecting to factory head unit
5. I can get some plugs for you that you can use to unplug the box like a power point for easy removal.

Hmmm looks good.
Your based in Sydney though. Do you ship to Melbourne?
Or if not, do you guys do installation if I meet you when I go up to Penrith?

[Joe Bellissimo]

Yeah ofcourse I ship so don't worry about that.

I've got installers who I can refer you to.

Why are you coming up to Penrith?

Meet up with Phreddy to get some work done on my car from him. Been waiting 2 years, had to delay visits on so many occasions, hopefully mid-Feb I might be able to see him.

[Joe Bellissimo]

O just get him to do the install. He does great work. He will be able to do the line level conversion too so you can get the most potential out of it. He installed my CBR12 for me so hes going to know exactly what hes doing.

[Luke0011]

Whats the power specs on the sub and amp, can we see a pick of the amp please

[Luke0011]

oh and my advice, buy name brand products from an actual store, better service, easier after sales support.

[Joe Bellissimo]

I'll see if I can take a picture of mine in the morning or the afternoon. And if I can't grab a link to the manual I'll just scan a page from mine.

I'm off for the evening, happy new year everyone!

[Luke0011]

Hmmmm, dont even know the power specs of your own system..... keep up joe.....

[Joe Bellissimo]

Amplifier is rated at 300RMS and subwoofer is rated at 550RMS.

Pardon me for wanting to check a manual to ensure I'm giving the most accurate information. He's offline so I didn't see the big rush.

[Luke0011]

well if its in your car, you should know the specs

[sv6_2nv]

how about 2xoption audio street subs 1000 peak 500rms each and option audio 800rms amp in a duel sealed subbox

Alritey sounds good. I'll await the pics.

Thanks mate.

Hmmmm....well he didnt say exactly that the system he recommended was the same one in his car.
And I will obviously do my due diligence before I buy anything from anyone. Had some bad experiences with online purchases, so if I do buy anything, its in person now.

I personally wouldn't bother giving 2 subs 800 rms when they have a combined power handling of 1000 rms. Especailly in a sealed enclosure. Maybe with the extra effeciancy gained from a ported enlcosure...A lot of people spend all this money on subs, or even speakers for that matter, and then skimp on the amplifier.By skimp i don't really mean money wise, but power wise. If you want the very most out of your subs, then your going to need to at least match the rated input power. Then there's the importance of having a bit of headroom aswell. Sure there's also other things to be considered such as sensitivity and effeciency levels, but i'm just talking basic stuff about basic installs.

Note, an amplifier that can produce(for e.g) 800 watts RMS, at a given impedance, will not produce that amount of power all the time. There's also the issue of voltage drops. Even a small drop in voltage, can have a major affect on an amps power output.

I'm not saying it won't work, of course it will, or that it will sound bad, because everybody has different listening preferences. When you working with speakers, or subs, more does not always equate to better. It's quality vs quantity. A single better quality sub, in a "proper built enclosure" not a cheap pre-fab, properly installed and tuned, with sufficient power, is always going to outperform multiple cheap subs that are being underpowered....

[the_trademarc]

So what you're saying is with these subs, a better option would be go the RCA's as opposed to the Amp's?

What?? RCA's plug into amps. They are what send the sound signals...

[the_trademarc]

Sorry. Clarity.
So what you're saying is if I go ahead and buy the Subs and Amps, using the RCA plugs will improve the sound performance of the amps, or do I buy another amp box that is more suited to the sub power output?

[HCVP]

I don't think you understand. An RCA lead, is used to send a sound signal from your source (your head unit) to the amplifier. RCA's dont improve anything, they are just an essential part. My reply, which probably just confused you, was in regards to the reccomendation for the subs and amp, made by SV6 2vn.
