[extinction]

guys what can you say about (precision audio ampli) (hot shots) kasi may binebenta sa akin 2x100watts ata yun balak ko sana ikabit sa separates ko na mb quart, saan gawa yung precision? sabi kasi ng friend ko mga unang labas yun ng precision audio since 1997 pa nakakabit sa auto nya pero ok pa naman, matibay naman siguro kasi matagal na benta na lang daw nya sa akin, ibebenta na kasi auto nya

tnx

do most auto shops here do rewiring ng audio? kasi yung stock audio ng ride ko medyo pangit na eh..meaning..di pantay-pantay yung sounds to all four speakers..minsan nasa left lang, minsan naman sa likod lang. or is that another problem?

[extinction]

i think almost all accs. shops marunong mag wiring especially sa banawe, hanap ka na lang ng magaling

hi...just to update you guys...

ive decided to buy boston acoustic speakers 6.5inch seps for my front - roughly 7,000 (includes install and wiring since 5x7 ang stock ng mazda3 so nagpagawa ako brackets)

amp for seps is a a 4ch mtx thunder 4200x 25x4rms - we bridged both channels to give us 100wrms for left and right - cost 3,500(2nd hand)

amp is connected to mazda 3 stock hu via LOC - scosche - 800
wiring and labor (for wires, fuse, distro block,etc.) - 1,000

sub jbl gti 10" sub for 3,200(sale price)
amp for sub is mtx thunder 2ch 2160 - bridged to give 320w RMS got it for 2,500(2nd hand din)

box - 1,500 materials , designed by hijacks flash of KAC

total cost roughly 20,000 -

is the jbl gti 10" better than the S8L7?

[luckytruck]

personally, i would rather go for a round 10" sub than a square 8 incher.

andy

[notEworthy27]

why? :D

[luckytruck]

less power requirement (generally). those square subs are power hungry kasi. and personally, i have tried the S10 L7 and i preferred the sound of my old school S12ds.

the power requirement is factual, the sound is personal taste/opinion.

nice setup bossing

[phat_tricks]

ano po masasabi nyo sa seps na jbl gto? TIA

[notEworthy27]

luckytruck , so kung power hungry I have to upgrade the electrical systems e.g. alternator, ditributor etc. ? well I guess it all beats down to hearing the setup itself for now...

[luckytruck]

when i said power hungry i meant that they need lots of amplifier power to sound good.

if you will only run one or two subs sing an efficient class D amp, maybe you wil not need to upgrade your electricals, depending on what your stock alternator is.

but, if you are going to compete, i think upgrading your electrical system will help because that is your main source of power.

will having a kicker amp power two S8L7s be enough?

[the_wildthing]

What's the rating of your Kicker amp?

How would you wire your two S8L7 subs?
