Are they the Jonah lomu (spelling?) subs?? Cos they are crazy. The headunit you are on about is wicked. Nakamichi CD 400 or CD 500's are wicked. The best quality you can buy. (without spending £££££)
What car was it in???

in an alfa romeo. most un suspecting car ever. the sound is so crisp though
no they weren't the lomu's, he wants them, wot r the other 1's they do.
he was using a cap with an optima. he said the optima still didn't have enough juice. he needs to rev it not just idle
top guy he even tweaked my system, much better

standard components? they must be running off an amp then cos nakamichi headunits dont have inboard amps.

If you look at it like that, ive got 146dB for £900. £300 for each sub and £300 for the amp. But then youve got battery, cables and accesories, materials etc. etc.

optima batteries are like, £180 at best, Nak units, second hand, go for around £300(assuming he got it 2nd hand), a power cap ASWELL, about £100. Then cables and materials about another £70.
So he then spent 150 quid on 2 subs and an amp, thats pretty good going!
