lets talk about stereos, speakers, pods, amps and subs

[big ben 10]

what are you using and recommend??

 

i have been doing a few searches and found out a bit, but still un clear on a good set up. Have NO idea about subs and amps, all this component stuff... what ever happened to the 6x9 speakers in the parcel shelf :lol: (never liked that look anyway)

 

Audioscape pods, component speakers/tweeters in the front, ditch the rear speakers all together, and a sub and amp in the back seems to be THE set up on here...

 

i have a decent sony stereo (dont know what one of hand) but thats it, looking for a decent loud sound, nothing that will rattle my car apart if your with me... dont want to spend a fortune either, what you get for a budget of say, £300 without the head unit??

Do a search mate - hi fi stuff has been talked about ad-infintum :)

 

I think general consensus is get the best speakers you can afford up front in Audioscape door pods, an amplifier, a reasonable sub in the boot and the best quality head unit you can afford.

 

If you're on more of a budget, uprated speakers in the existing door pods, a decent H/U and a self-amplified sub (like Infinity Basslink) seems to be a popular setup :)

inifnity, infinity, infinity!!!!

 

from a decent sony head unit i run infinity kappa 693i 6*9s in a modified and re-covered factory parcel shelf (so as speakers not visible) with the kappa 52.91's in the front doors - the sound reproduction is simply awesome!!!!

 

plus the power of them at all ranges means i can save boot space with a smaller 10" sub & tiny amp :)

 

highly recommended

 

to inifnity & beyond!!!!
