Ok I have an 85 Fleetwood D'Elegance and in my trunk my "spare sits in the back, so I have no choice but to sit my subs (when I get them) up close to the front.


My question is....

Should I get a "sealed" box and I want some hard thumpin bass, but I want clarity as well. I was thinking about getting 2 "12's". For those with the big caddy's what would be a good set-up, in my case?

Thanks

I just checked out your ride on Car Domain> Those Big Body Caddy's like you have need at least two 12" subs and a nice 1000 watt amp IF you like a descent amount of bass. I would go with a sealed box for your subs>upgrade your factory deck with a good quality one with 3 sets of RCAs and I would run 4 guage wire and high quality RCA jacks to your amps, oh yea ditch the spare and replace it with a couple cans of fix-a-flat. I would also run an Electronic 3-way Crossover with a bass remote to your amps, and look for either a 600 watt 4ch or 800 watt 4ch amp for your highs. A two fuse block and a ground block should be part of your install as well. Let me know if you have any more questions about equipment ok. Here is a good site you can use as a reference to the Electronic end of your 12 volt system.

What's up Big Mike, thanks alot man for your advice. I went to Best Buy just to see what kinds of equipment I would need and like you the sales guy said I would need at least 12" subs (I saw some Fosgates) I think the the Fosgate box it came in was sealed or maybe it was ported, I saw so many I can't remember. I saw a I saw a good $200-$250 dollar radio with 3 sets of RCA's which he, like you recommended. He said I would probably blow the front and rear speakers, so I saw a nice a pair of rear speakers running about $100.00 and a nice pair of front speakers running about $90.00 I think they were Kenwoods. He said that I should get a seperate amp for the speakers, saw a nice Kenwood one, then they had a wiring kit for about $140.00. I'm not to sure about getting rid of the spare, because I've noticed that my tire would become heavily shredded and a spare came in handy (especially when my car blew a tire on the freeway 8 am during 9/11 and by the time I had it fixed and drove back to my house the freeway was congested as folks drove quickly to their homes and I doubt they would stop to help a Black guy on the free-way ).

The subwoofer looks like this one (I don't know what 4 Ohms or 8 Ohms is or what is the difference between the two) http://http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?id=1069302879271&skuId=6252459&type=product&productCategoryId=cat03081

But again thanks for your advice I will be printng this page and taking it with me before I decide what to purchase. Also thanks for the link to the site.

2b) Consider dynamatting the shit out of your trunk. particularly the lid, and the sides... those are what suffer the most.

What is "dynamatting my trunk"?
