Default Dak guys what system do you have?

I started out with a single 10 alphasonik sub with a alpine m450 amp. It wasnt a lot but for in my truck it was plenty I had the amp at half and that was enough to rattle all my mirrors as well as all the loose stuff in my bed. Sadly one day I needed money and sold it for 150(bought it for 70.00 some druggie needed money lol) and since then my truck has never been the same. I've been off and on looking at some stuff but always decided I didnt really need it. Now I at least need something another single 10 or 12 is fine for me I dont really want to loose all of my back seat. What do you guys recommend?

I have an Alpine CDA-9847 headunit with Ipod interface, an 80 Gig Ipod classic, Alpine Type R 6 1/2" separates in my front doors, Alpine Type S 6 1/2" coaxials in the rear side panels, a JL Audio 10W0 ohm sub in a sealed enclosure and it is all driven by a JL Audio 300/4 amplifier.

Sounds really good for what it is.

Jimmy

imo best headunit ever and most underrated, jvc kds100, built in amp that rocks. infinity reference speakers up front and cheap walmart sonys in the rear. the crutchfeild line sound ordinace has a flat 8 inch sub that you fit under your seat.

I love my Alpine HU, I had one in my last dakota and now in this one curtosy of Jimmy (01silvercc).

But other than that my system is stock. I would love to get a better system but don't have the funds at this time. All my savings are going towards wheels/tires/tie rods/sway bar links & bushings/brakes... I think thats it right now.

I love my shallow mount. 1. because its the only thing that fits and 2. It kicks hard!. The only thing ive heard that kicks harder then mine is my buddys system in hes grandprix, but hes running twin 12" R-types which are 500wRMS and like 1400w peak, with a proper amp puttin out the matching wattage
