Well since I have got my new headunit I guess its time to get some bass :D everyone knows i’m picky on what I get for my car and i’m always out looking for hours for the very best deal. I joined some forums and tried to find out some more information.. I guess i’m getting there and the clear message is… your not gonna get anything for £100.. thats if its custom bulit - great!

So i’ve been on ebay and loads of online shops i found quite a few deals for under £100 with the sub, amp and wiring kit but then another thing thats been sitting in my mind came up… will my car handle it on the forums they said anything under 800w will be fine, another thing is what size sub… 10″ 12″ or 15″ lol forget the 15″ too expensive but how do I decide on a 12″ or 10″ ?

Its seems the views are split, one forum likes 10’s and the other likes 12’s I was originally looking for a 12″ because I thought the 10″ looked too small… lol but if its the right wattage it gives out alot of “punch” and does lower frequencies. But then the other forum are supporting 12″ and saying they give out more bass are will do low freqencies too…

Looking arround on ebay its true… the 10″ are more expensive and i’m guessing this is because there better so I started putting in some bids. I’ve bidded on a FLI Trap 10 twin thats 1600w together and I could power them with a cheap 500w amp and that wouldn’t cause any trouble either but that would mean buying wiring kit etc.

Then theres loads of 12″ kits your can get passive (powered with external amp) or active (powered by bulit in amp) passive is what I want. Active would work but they done have very good amps eg 1000w sub with bulit in amp 300w… its abit… yeah. these are the kits i’ve been looking into:

12″ deals

10″ deals

so yeah not sure what to do right now I guess i’ll just wait and see with my bids on ebay if I win anything then i’ll go from there if not i’ll go with one of these… if anyone knows of any other good deals then post and comment or contact me :) I guess thats it really college is going good had a new learning support person yesterday he seems pretty cool and i can talk to him etc so i’m happy with that.

If anyone likes trance (better then that clubland 10 sh*t - complete toss) I found this site with does a 3hr podcast of free trance non-stop on every tuesday aka Trance-Tuesday :D - http://tranceportal.org

That plus this one too http://www.djaddison.com your sorted for 5hrs a week :D I just stick them on my ipod and listen to them in the car… easier to listen to with a good beat :)

I guess thats all really nothing else has happened, well it has but i’d like to keep that quite for now :)
