some big sound systems you all have on here in your 'stangs, and how many db's have you hit? what brand speakers/ amps, and how many, how many batteries, etc. what ya'll got?

im adding 2 10" L5 kickers next week to my single 12 L5 with a 1000.1 on the 10's and a 750.1 on the 12. how loud do you guys think that'll get?

Holy S**t! My brother has one L7 12" with the 750.1 amp and its too loud for me and I'm only 22. but you want 3. all I can say is DAMN.

haha yeah. i got hooked on major bass with a couple of my friends, who are running kicker 1500.1's one has 4 10" JL W3's and the other has 2 kicker L7 12". i just wanna mix it up with 3 speakers, i have yet to see a system with 3, and it should fit perfect in the car. i figure i can get the best of both worlds with the 3 speaker setup. the 12 for the deep stuff and 10's to catch the higher bass and get more response.

why so? ive had nothing but good come from them. and everything ive heard has sounded great. whats the deal?

they tend to be a little power hungry in my book, both the speakers and their amps.

I just got my system playin, it is in my cardomain page. I ran 4 - 8" quart subs off a diamond audio amp, and another amp for diamond audio hex 3 ways up front. I am goingmore for SQ the bass but it is probably just short of 140dbs, but it is clean as hell at 140.............

what do you mean power hungry? like thyre overrated? all the birthsheet stuff ive seen has been overrated like 1250 watts rmson a 1000 watt rmsamp. idk. ive enjoyed my stuff, so im stickin with them. plus the suqare subs look sick in my custom box where the back seat should be.

so how many watts should net me 140 dbs? what if im shooting for more? any general guidelines for how many dbs per watts?

07lane40

i mena, im not just shooting for as many dbs as i cna get. but i do want it LOUD. im pleased with what sound quality im getting from kicker, so just any help on how much power for some high dbs if you can help me figure out what im lookin at with my set up vs others (like my buds 1500.1's) im tryin to get the car ready for a show and im wondering if im going the right direction.

Dont know why people bash them, I think they're great all around. Loud and clear.

07lane40

same. i havent had anything bad happen with them and i have had any of my freinds had anything bad happen with them. so i dont get it. one of my friends is sponsored for competition and uses their stuff. idk. reading this forum is the only time ive heard anyone say anything bad about them. the only thing ive ever heard outside hereis "jl is better".
