I got my new system installed!!! (PICS ADDED 56K WARNING) Options

[Niskyspy]

So yea after looking at different sub/amp I just bought a JBL bp1200.1 AMP and 12" JLW6V2 in a 1.5sq.ft ported box. At first I though that its just gonna sound like a normal sub but the sound is just amazing. I guess thats because W6 an SQ sub. It hits pretty damn hard, all the plastic in the trunk and the rear seat shakes and rattles like crazy. And I have to tune it down to -3 db boost for normal listening, this kinda tells that the amp is just a monster.

**<<NEW ADDITION>>**

[Niskyspy]

200$ for the AMP and 250$ for the Sub+Box+grill
Oh, I am sorry that I didn't post pics yet, its cuz I have finals coming up and I need to do a lot of studying. They'll deff be here on thursday of next week

[Niskyspy]

Eh, review class got cancelled so I got home and took some pics.







PS: The box is made to be doublewall but the top wall is not in yet, so I guess I'll finish it up this summer.

i was just about to buy that head unit... how do you like it

[Coomer]

Are you sure that's not a BP600.1? The BP1200.1 is longer I believe. Regardless though, nice equipment. What are you running as far as the front stage goes?

Its pretty good, looks really cool. But only if u get mechanical bdgain knob because it t takes pretty loong to through all the settings. But hey I got it for 120$ so I am all good with it.
ADDED: If you are planning on using this deck for some crazy SPL you will have to get a pre-out voltage booster because even though panasonic says that this deck has 5V pre-out it only goes up to 2.3V which is pretty weak for SPL world. With voltage booster which will cost around 80$ you can easily boost the voltage to 8Volts which is all you need. The sound quality of this thing is pretty damn good, before this deck I had a stock/clarison/alpine and this deck is probably in the 1st place but only if you get it tuned by someone who does it for living. Other than that this is an amazing deck, the blue screen that plays videos really attracts chicks to your car and the auto tilt option makes everyone go "wow" when you start your car. If you buying this thing as of now I would not pay more that 200$ for it, I'd rather spend a lil more and buy some alpine deck.

Its 100% BP1200.1, I checked it and all + I bought off of my friend so he wont lie to me.

For the front stage I am running 6.5" MBQuart Discus, they are pretty good but I am gonna be upgrading to MbQuart Premiums this summer + JBL 4 by 60watt RMS amp. And I'll be running front set only because rears just mess up the sound stage.

nice! a tuned subwoofer box.

Thanks, yea this box was build especially for 12" JLW6V2 for 50%SQ-50%SPL usage. Double wall makes it look much better, when the grill is on and all. As of right now I am planning on finishing the box somewere in january while my winter vacation. So when I am done I'll post some pics!!!

My friend VOTBLINDUB told me to correct you. "VOTBLINDUB: say my friend said to call it a ported box, not tuned"

[soven]

Yea, I would go with W7 too but I couldnt afford it so I went with W6, this amp was powering a JLW7 12" in my friends car and it was just crazy.

New Alpine Subwoofer level control I'll install it today, PICS are added

[Hanyo]

i knew it was called ported, what i ment to say was a box that was actually made to make the subwoofer sound better, other then the ordinary sealed box.

[Niskyspy]

thats what I told my firend but he still wanted me to correct u!!! I guess he didn't understand what u ment. And yes this Box was build for W6.
