well, the mod bug keeps bitting my ass! So, I just bought a new headunit.

I got the Pioneer AVIC-D2. Should be here by about Wednesday! I'll have pics up when the install is done.

 

ok....?

care to elaborate?

what kind of setup you plan to have going?

What setup do you have now?

pics?

phone number and address of hot sister?



nice expensive headunit btw

 

it'll be going into my 2000 Lincoln LS

Right now it's the stock Alpine system w/6 disc CD changer.

The setup i'm gonna put together is:

2 JL Audio 12w3v3
2 JL Audio 500.1

Searching the internet to get some ideas of installation of them as far as box and location.

BTW, no sisters, 3 older brothers, lol

 

just out of curiosity, why 2 500/1's?

 

was told that running 1 500.1 on 2 w3's would be underpowered.

 

seems like 500 each speaker would be overkill... aren't they rated at 300 rms?

edit: i suppose you could just gain the bastards down. i think the more important question here is why are you opting for 2 500/1's when you could just get 1 1000/1

 

It was suggested to me that 2 amps for 2 subs is better than 1 amp for 2 subs.

 

yes more power does make you louder.people here have forgoten that.

 

500w rms on a 12w3 is definetly pushing your limits. Now if that was a Boss 500w or a Rockwood 500w, you might be ok. I'd be vaaaawee careful. /elmer fudd voice

 

for a daily driven sub, nearly doubling it's rms rating isn't all that good. you might get... maybe 2 db from it. maybe. i don't really see the advantage in voiding your warranty either.
