Blue_Joe 0 Posted June 22, 2004 I am replacing my speakers and installing an amp on a limited budget as too many other things to pay for!!! I think I have pretty much made up my mind on the JBL GTO4000 600W amp as various people have suggested it. Speakers wise I have a choice for the front of: Pro-Plus 5.25 inch or Power Acoustik 5.25 inch with a metal looking cone? Then Pro-Plus 6x9's in a stealth shelf to provide some bass as not fitting a sub! Finally a decent wiring kit. I only have a budget of around £250. Does anyone know which are better the Pro-Plus or Power Acoustik are better or if anyone has any better ideas on my budget??? Thanks guys!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kongo127 0 Posted June 22, 2004 Well i have the JBL latest series on mine... All the 6 speakers ( 6" x 9" on back cover ) :D Not expensive at all... Great sound! :) Excellent price! :D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevemac 0 Posted June 22, 2004 Blue_Joe, - if you need a sub - send me a pm. I have a spare :wink: If you're near Erdington, I can show you my 11 speaker setup, MDF parcel shelf, etc - maybe give you a few ideas. Important thing to look for in your prospective speakers is the distortion measurement - this will give you a far better idea of which is best quality, rather than overall peak power limits. Best speakers have the lowest distortion. Where & how you mount them also is extremely important if you want them to sound good. I can also make-up a wiring kit or even do the install for you.

Campaign 0 Posted June 23, 2004 audiobahn all the way....been more than impressed, and cant get many more watts for the pound anywhere, plus they look sweet as!! :D Ooooh don't get me started on the AudioBahn sh**t! I had them fitted in the front of the Campaign for a while, they sound absolutely bl*$dy dreadful! No mid-range whatsoever! And they echoed like billyo. I dumped them and fitted Memphis instead. Mind you, stupid thing was, about a week after fitting them I won "best sound" award at the local car stereo shop sound-off... give's you some idea about how bad some of the others sounded.

Campaign 0 Posted June 23, 2004 STEVEMAC 11 speakers setup i'm very interested if u wanna give details,, sounds like a healthy system PM me if u got some spare time The ol' G60 had a 15 speaker set-up. Front was 6+4+Tweeter setup, rear shelf had 4x 6x9's with independent tweeters x4 and a sub... Ran off two amps (Denon DCA800x2), sounded bloody awesome and should've ripped it out when I sold the car! Doh! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
