This afternoon I had my car in the shop for the first time (needed new front rotors and a swaybar link), and to kill some time, I went to Audiovibe just down the street. While at Audiovibe, I noticed they had a package deal on that I just couldn't pass up since my stereo up until this afternoon was fully OEM. The package consisted of a 10" Power Acoustik sub, a 1 or 1.5 cu ft sealed box, and a 300 watt Power Acoustik amplifier. After getting the wiring installed, and the amp wired, we tried wiring the sub into 8ohms, then decided to wire both coils together to create a 2ohm mono load. Needless to say, that little setup sounds pretty good in my ZX3, and it didn't cost me a fortune either...everything including taxes and installation only cost me $440 bux. There were some other customers there outside that heard my stereo after it was finished, and they were rather quite surprised that so small an amp and sub box could play so much bass. I know, I know, there's other stuff out there that's better, but I've got a system now that sounds a bit more rounded out, and it's loud enough for my needs. Besides, I need to buy new tires and a new exhaust soon, so I wanted to stay within $500 on the stereo for now. :ph34r:
