i've always wanted a fat a$$ system but ive never had the funds, now that ive landed a good job i can finally afford it but know nothing about it
what would be a really bassy system for under 2 grand? what kind of equipment would u reccomend?

 

What vehicle?

 

its a 94 toyota 4-runner

 

Well I helped put in some new equipment in a friends 4runner before. His rear speakers were factory amped, just something to remember and check on yours. The best that you can do would be to get a nice deck, a set of components for the front, a 2 or 4 chan amp if you want to keep the rear speakers, and a substage. He has a single 12" pioneer premier tsw3002 on about 700 watts. It sounds pretty good. I'm not too sure what is available locally, as I buy all my stuff online. If you want to run more power than that, you will need to upgrade the electrical system, battery(s), big 3, larger alt.

 

Without having to upgrade your electrical system to much outside of the big 3, 1000Wrms for sub stage and a 2 or 4 channel amp at about 100X2 or X4 to run front comp sets and/or your rears if you like rear sound will work for amps. Subs if you are into the top 40, rap type music a nice pair of 12" in a ported box will belt out more then you need.

What type of sound are you hunting for and type of music?

 

This sounds like the perfect excuse for a road trip. Get in your 4runner, drive up and see me. It is exactly a 1 hour drive at the posted 110 km/h speed limit from Rock City Center to my store here in Courtenay.

What do you have in the vehicle already that you want to keep using? Will you be adding to the system in the future?

 

Definately go see Rob he will hook up. Didn't realize your location.

 

the only problem is im workin up in prince rupert right now through until december
ill probly get a day off here n there but im just lookin to learn about car audio before crabbing seasons done so i can get it all rigged up asap when iget home
and as of what i have in there right now.. its a bunch of crap, all the speakers are blown from what i can tell and teh decks an oldie

what kind of 12's have the best quality sound?, im into rap mostly by the way

 

There is lots of things that you can do in your 4runner. So many options it is not even funny. Build your system up in stages, a good cd player and some speakers to start with for sure. If you are after bass overload (which is easy to do), it is easy to blow your budget on subs and a amp alone. This means that being able to listen to your system is that much more difficult. Your front and rear speakers will not be able to keep up with the bass that is coming out of the back. A system needs to be balanced, do it a step at a time here. Your budget can get a good system, a great system though, increase the budget some. I am summising that you are interested in new equipment with full warranty as well.
