Pretty much decided but.....suggestions/changes/opinions???

who recommended this?

 

what forum did you get the help on?

Personally, i don't really like pioneer their component speakers or their subs. Their head units are great though.

Cadence is ok.

I like the 2nd option better. PG makes some good stuff but, i wouldn't go near a clarion stereo and i don't know much about their newer amps anymore if they are good.

budget for $650 with head unit. let me look around, i bet i could come up with something better...

 

go at it jonny. i'm thinking some hifonics.... with a pioneer head unit

 

thats what i was thinking too.

 

well, lets see here.

if you can, somehow get the 6.5" versions of these speakers

Front Amp (better go PA cause Hifonics is kinda expensive for this budget)

thats 580 with shipping. maybe we can go Hifonics. Ill check that out real quick.

 

he may want to check out polk or PG RSD's for the component speakers.

 

ya maybe just go with these instead. i was being conservative.

and go with this amp instead of the 2000. it has too much power, unless you went with maybe 3 depending on how u wired em.

do u want 2 12's or 3? we can do 3 if you have space with another amp

 

what kind of car is this going into?

 

now that you know what you wanna get how about we work on the box. what are the basic dimensions of the trunk? (LxWXH) we can either make it real loud or sound pretty good. do you prefer ported or sealed?

 

actually, u dont even really need rear speakers, i dont have any in my car at all. if i were you, i would just keep the stock ones in their for rear fill. you should barely even be able to hear them.

 

what he said^^^^. you can save some money by running the stock rears off of the radio,but be sure to isolate them from the same air space as the subs. the pressure of the bass can and will rip them apart.

 

he meant to make a box around the 6x9's if u do decide to use them, i would personally scrap them and use the holes as passages for the sound and air to come through, that is what i did. if u dont use boxes around them, the pressure in the trunk from the subs would push the deck speakers' cones apart and ruin them. i find it easier and better (cause i want bass) to get rid of them.

also, you want to hook ure subs up into 2 ohms. like the first option
