    Default Help me build a stereo!

    Hey all, first post here so lets make it a good one

    Been thinking about getting a stereo system for a while now, just after some suggestions on the current setup that I'm looking at.

    [COLOR="rgb(65, 105, 225)"]Headunit:[/COLOR] JVC KD-R705 - Already own it from my previous car.
    [COLOR="rgb(65, 105, 225)"]Subs:[/COLOR] 2x 12" Infinity Kappa One 120.9w's - $300 each from Autobarn
    [COLOR="rgb(65, 105, 225)"]Amp:[/COLOR] Infinity Kappa One - $800 also from Autobarn

    What's everyones thoughts that setup, prices and such?

    I just read a couple reviews on the subs, and not one mentioned anything about how they sound. They all agree that they are very good LOOKING though.
    Seems a bit pricy for what seem to be fairly basic subs. For the same money, I have these and can't recommend them enough

    I do plan to have speakers lol, haven't decided what ones though yet. Currently I just have some 6x9's in the back that my dad put there so im not really too fussed about replacing those. The fronts are all stock though.

    With the subs, how they sounded in an open area was pretty impressive (on one of those boards at autobarn) could feel it inside you (get your mind out of the gutter ) if you know what i mean :P

    what do you want from the subs? SPL (loud) or SQ (quality)?

    if you are wanting loud for that sort of money I would be looking more at something like
    one of these 12" 2512a-D2 or a 15" DD2515a-D2
    with one of these DDM1b

    or for SQ i would get me one of these Audiomarketplace - Exodus Tempest-X2 Subwoofer
    with maybe one of these Shopping Secure - Car Audio Specialists - Mosconi AS200.2
    and have money to spare
