Audio System Advice/comments?

I have some questions i wanted to see if anyone could help.

I am putting in a system in my 07 double cab. Nothing earth rattling, but something that fills the cabin. What do you think?

Sub -JBL GTO804

Going to run the components of channels 1&2 -70w rms
Then bridge 3 & 4 to run the sub. 160w rms

Ok second question.

Building a box...what type of caulk should i use to seal the box?

 

First, let me say I am not a big sony fan for car audio...

A better component option:

A better amp, similar price (refurb)

It is smaller, and puts out more power.

Great sub choice!

Personally, I would make those changes, but otherwise, looks fine, nice little setup.

use silicone for the sealant, or collect your sawdust from the MDF, and mix it with wood glue to create a paste, then use that. Works great.

 

yeah im not a big fan of sony. ive had 2 that broke on me with in year.

this is what i did and sounds like a added an amp with subs.

 

FWIW, I just purchased and installed this HU and LOVE it!! It has loads of tweaking options!

Thanks for the feedback..I like the mixing the sawdust with glue idea. I might do that.

 

was it the amps that failed?

To be honest i was a bit skeptical of the amps.

But being a dad on a budget, the budget is boss...lol
