Big sound systems. Got one?

[Jim Oaks]

I was just curious if anyone here has a big sound system. Although I don't, I used to have a nice little system waaaay back in my car and always liked nice clean/loud systems. I realize big systems can be a little more challenging in a truck.

Post some photos and a descriptions of what you have. I'd really like to see them. :icon_thumby:

You guys are giving me ideas for when I get home. I have a memphis 2000w amp and a soundsplinter RL -i10 sub, a memphis 450w amp and alpine component set for the front, and an alpine iDA-X100 head unit. I plan on getting a batcap for it since I will probably step up and get a 3rd amp and run components in the rear later as well. So far all I have planned out is a .45cf box tuned to 27hz for the sub and qlogic kick panel mounts for the front components.

[95RangerAK]

i had two of these, mtx 8000s rated to 1000watts each. along with a kenwood deck and big amp.

heres my deck
http://i583.photobucket.com/albums/ss278/Jesseblair/picturesofmytruck014.jpg

stock speakers but with the new deck it bumped loud. very loud. i was very happy with them and hopefully when i get my truck running with a good tranny in it i can bump once again.

Hu, 4inch wide screen dvd player single din

dynomatted doors, with fitted 6x9 alpines type R all around ,

2 ga wire to quad distrubition block.

running two alpine amps the m450 for the highs and the m650 for the bass, all covered with a nice 3/4 mdf amp rack with black grills so you can see each amp.

spendy system, i wanna see some pics of the bench. did you get everything retail? im at Just over 1200 bucks but everything i bought was direct from the manufacturer, except the head unit which came from craigslist. i will never pay high retail prices for run of the mill gear from best buy etc..

[4x4fun]

my issue was having to custom some stuff, the HU was strait coustom ordered cause they were trying to push the 7 inch screen,

the 6x9 were $$$ cause i got them 3 or 4 months before they were supposed to come out, (that next years model)

good amps are always $$$

but the boxes are my pride and joy, there tuned to give me alot of thump but let it rumble. we made the boxes missing a side and made a plug for it. and slowly added the the thickness of the plug will so it would drop the CF of the box by 1/2''X a side till we got the sound just right took us two days, it was a mess but my subs are perfecty tuned. we event used a 1/8 inch masonite on the drivers side. and thats were the money came in
