PARAD0X · 06-01-2003, 06:52 PM

stripped cars don't need sound systems. but sometimes i'd throw my kenwood excelon mp3 player in for the hell of it, and i've got some bazooka speakers in the doors. just two speakers, but i enjoy the sound of the engine, and the driving experiance. thats what makes the car enjoyable right?

sspikey · 06-01-2003, 07:31 PM

i dont know what the heck i should do.
how about i tell you what im looking for. two options here.

one:
-go with some sort of head unit with an input for my mini disc.

-these on my doors Rockford Fosgate FNP2414

-or anyone of these speakers up front (they all fit) http://www.crutchfield.com/cgi-bin/S...size=4X6&cc=01

-No amp in this case or rear speakers. Maybe some oem rears that arent blown in stock location of the fastback.

Second option:

- run some amp to be determined but have the line routed to the front of the car for the input. Run my minidisc straight into the amp

- again same front speakers as above but will that work with no head unit? and will my mini disc sound nice? its a higher end MD from sony.

thx
yan

EDIT: im looking for crisp sound. nothing too crazy just some decent bass and somethign that i could drive in the car with the windows down and still hear. i listen to alot of vocal jazz so decent bass and good voice is what im looking for. all the subs ive heard are just too strong for me it seems. plus they weigh and i hate that ****.

CoasTek240 · 06-01-2003, 09:53 PM

okay here's the "ish" setup:

Kenwood Excelon mP3 deck--i got it for $150 from my friend that works @ a car audio shop, b/c it was last years display model.(yeah!)
Some memphis kevlar woven 4x6's and memphis woven 6 1/2" woofer in the back of my coupe. i have an mtx 4000thunder 10" sub with box and 250watt legacy amp, but i dont think i want it, and will prolly sell. i'm proud of my semi cheap setup

kandyflip445 · 06-01-2003, 10:20 PM

gilwankel · 06-01-2003, 10:46 PM

How difficult is it to put 6.5" in?

*HaLo* · 06-03-2003, 09:14 AM

Hey sspikey.

You've already heard my sound but this is what I have:

- Cerwin-Vega Vega series 6.5" + 1.0" Tweeter
- Orion XTR6MB 6" Midbass drivers
- Orion XTR3 12" Subwoofer (to be replaced soon)
- Kicker KX800.4 4-ch 800RMS Amplifier
- 1.0F Phoenix Gold Capacitor
- Miscellaneous crossovers...

L.D. 100 · 06-04-2003, 01:06 AM

depends what i want to listen to...

choice one (chicks like)
pioneer cd player (forget specifics)
no-name components in doors, mid & tweet
pioneer 6x9's in rears
2 rockford fosgate 10's in bandpass box (heavy as sin)
crunch 600watt amp to subs

choice 2 (i like)
