TNT Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 That Walmart Sony sub is childs play. :rotf: I'm setting up 2 Cadence Wild Beast 12" 700 watt RMS rated subs with 3" of excursion in my MJ behind the front seats as my back massager. They weigh 25 pounds each. They are 2008 models that only cost $99.00 each with free shipping. :thumbsup: Image Not Found Each sub will be powered by its own Cadence Q2300 amp bridged into mono for 500 watts of RMS power each. I got a great deal on them. :brows: Image Not Found I'll be using another Q2300 amp in stereo at 175 watt RMS into two channels powering a pair of Cadence TXC-6K 6.5" components speakers rated at 90 watt RMS at 2 ohm per channel in each front door. Each door will have a pair of the Cadence speakers mounted in custom fiberglass/MDF door speaker pods I'm building. :D Image Not Found I have a good 2 year old Sony head unit for now until I can get a new Alpine or such. I want it to have HD & satellite radio, an I-pod hook up, a front USB port and 3 sets of RCA outs like the Sony has. I won't be using any other speakers then the subs in the back. My goal is to have a nice front sound stage so it sounds like I'm at a concert. I think 1350 watts RMS should be enough to cover up the tire and engine noise. :yes: :cheers: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
702_MJ Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 what kind of sub box you gonna use? Just curious cuz i had 2 8" rockfordfosgates in mine. Home made boxes and they hit hard for the lil things. One got sold and the other box is still lying around, I might put one of those square kickers in it. I miss just a lil bass the 5 1/4s and 4x6's don't cut it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

702_MJ Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 oh ok, i think mine is like 1.35 which was ideal for the fosgates. I think the kicker 8 is like 1.3 cuft min. So ill see how that works. Hope yours turns out good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TNT Posted March 20, 2009 Author Share Posted March 20, 2009 oh ok, i think mine is like 1.35 which was ideal for the fosgates. I think the kicker 8 is like 1.3 cuft min. So ill see how that works. Hope yours turns out good That box would work with a Cadence Wild Beast sub if it has enough depth. They are awesome. They reccomend a 1.5 cu.ft. box for a purest, a 1 cu. ft. as normal listener or even a .88 cu. ft. sealed box for a boomer. The 3" of woofer travel each sub has is just nuts. When the subs are in a ported box they reccomend a 1.75 cu. ft. box with a round 3"x7.5" long port per speaker. For SPL competition they reccomend 2.5 cu. ft. box with a 5"x5"x12.83" port or up to a 3.5 cu. ft. box with a 8"x9"x11.75" port. Thats per sub... :eek: Most people don't know about Cadence. They break world records for SPL and are total quality. They are big in Europe. ;) Ported for max SPL, sealed for best SQL. :chillin: For the price they can't be beat. :D My amps were $395.00 list price each. I got a great deal. :yes: They are 20" long and 10" wide and about 15 pounds each. Between just the amps and speakers I'll be adding 100 pounds or more to the MJ. Thats not counting the sub boxes or fiberglass/ MDF door speaker pods. :brows: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
702_MJ Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 right on i hope it pounds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TNT Posted March 20, 2009 Author Share Posted March 20, 2009 right on i hope it pounds It will. :D My goal is tight accuate sub performance. :chillin: It can pound, but I'm not building a boomer... :brows: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88mjmanche Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 ahahahahahahaha those subs are for childs play ahahaha i know a kid that cut the bed and the rear of his cab and put two Alpine Type Xs and two 3000 watt Alpine mono block amps its niceeee :brows: and loud . yea the subs are 3000 peak 1000 watts rms Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
702_MJ Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 There was this kid back when i went to highschool, he made like 6 subs in a roll out amp system under the box for his bed. Guess the system was pretty sweet, course its hawaii, the people here aint to sharp. Anyway about a month or two after rolling out those amps to put fuses and such a wire severed and one day it arced and guess what happened to the box and the truck. It was on the side of the road burning. LOL i love it when toyota owners try to think :rotf: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dirty... :eek: Cadence mono and stereo amps have .04% THD and <100 DB signal to noise ratio and put out 20% more power then they are rated at.... Alpine X's subs are also inefficient with only 84 DB output at 1 watt.... My Wild Beasts are way more efficient with 95 DB output at 1 watt... :yes: Did you know that a difference of three decibels in subwoofer efficiency is equivalent to a doubling of the amplifier power. :brows: That makes my dual 500 watt RMS amps and Cadence subs have a higher much cleaner SPL/SQL level. 8) An 11 DB difference and clean power will win the race. :rotf: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He put the fuse by the amp instead of the battery. It shorted out after he parked it and went in the house. I guess he should have used a grommet in the firewall. The whole car burned. :rotf: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comanche County Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 Sounds like an awesome set up... I have two 10" MTX subs I got for $50, a 600w Sony amp, and an Alpine head unit. All were purchased at a pawn shop for less than $175 together. It could be a lot clearer, but its super low and really freaking loud inside cab. The main issue was space. I'm 6'2" and have a roll cage in the truck also, so I barely fit. With the tens in seperate boxes behind each seat, I'm a little cramped. I don't understand any of the speaker tech stuff...but, no human being, unless they are completely deaf, can sit in the truck with it turned up for more than 10-15 minutes,,,,it just rattles your brain too much. I know guys have bigger systems in their vehicles and crank them all the time,,,maybe I'm just weak though. I'm at the quiting point for my stereo, I'm calling it good,,,except for some 4x6 Cerwin-Vegas (freebies) I pulled out of a Grand Cherokee that will go in the pillars.

88mjmanche Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 yea the loudness is bad it herts after 10-15 minutes but you kinda get used to after a while and i don't mean deaf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
