Since I was a kid I have loved me some loud cars, loud exhaust and a stereo loud enough to drown it out.
I'm no audiophile by any means, but I love my music. Used to be that really, more bass more better. These days I need a little more balance.
The truck had an explode 12 with a amp I bought on market place that I new NOTHING about (ice brand maybe? It was very large and actually did really well) $59 Pioneers from Walmart in the doors and a 4 channel Walmart amp on them (louder than the deck amp, yes, better.... Um) .
Dog was under a seat, idk wtf, everything blew up... It happens.
I still have the speakers in the doors, wired direct now. I just bought a Skar 2000 sub amp, that will be here soon so I can put the sub back in. In the vids I saw it Dyno'ed at 500 watt at 4 ohm which is where I'll run it. So it's fine for that sub. If I throw a second on and run @ 2 ohm it will do 800.. so future proof as well.
I'm trying to decide if I put a better amp on the same door speakers, replace the door speakers and run them off the deck, or of I'm feeling fancy (probably not), maybe replace them and put an amp on new ones if I find something affordable.
This is BUDGET stuff here. Even 16 year old me would call this a starter setup at best, but hey. If I can crank it up on the highway and hear only music, no truck/wind/road noise, I'm cool (as long as I have some sub control because it makes my folk punk sound like polka with the sub turned up)
Any of you guys into car audio? Any recommendations on budget interior speaker/amp setups? Anything you've used and liked... or hated..
But more so, please feel free to tell me about the fantastic stuff you have/had in your cars so I can live vicariously.
