Hey everybody, I know little to nothing about car audio. I was looking to start upgrading the sound system in my car. I was wondering if anyone can recommend any brands, or perhaps even models for a new cd player. I wouldnt be opposed to buying off ebay or some such place. The amount i'm looking to spend would be say 250. Thanks. Also if anyone could recommend a good company to buy an amp from that would be great as well. Thanks

 

Well to start, let me just throw out some company names for you

Alpine, Pioneer, Eclipse are all three that I would recommend. What options are you looking to have? MP3? Etc...?

For amps there are tons of amps out there. What would you be using it for? Subwoofer or speakers and how much are you looking to spend?

 

well what i'm looking for in the end would be a system with more of a rich, deep sound (i suppose sort of like a concert hall) than compared to a just plain loud sound. I dont have much use for a lot of bass, but i understand a subwoofer would be needed anyway. I'm looking o spend say 600 or 700 in the end i guess. Mp3 compatibility would be nice. I do plan to replace all the speakers as well, agian if anyone cold recommend a brand that would be great. The installation i can get done for the cost of needed parts, and a friend will build a box for the subwoofer(s). Thanks

 

Get Sony CDX-8805X great. I have it... you can get it for $200 on eBay

 

Anyone know anything about the pioneer 7600 (i believe thats the number). Also what does mosfet stand for. Thanks.

 

when you compare 8805 is better than 7600. and maybe it is hard to believe but 7600 better than 8600 so go and buy 8805

 

some good brands that i know of are...alpine, pioneer, eclipse, kenwood, i have a pioneer deh-p9300 and love it...

 

i have the pioneer 7600 mp3 deck...love it

looking to buy an Alpine v12 amp and rockford hx2 subs

 

for speakers i was gunna get infinity 6000cs front and back

check crutchfiled


..then buy from ebay



at the bottom click what fits my car?

 

Sorry to burst your bubble but theres NO WAY the 7600 is better than the 8600 along with the 8805 being better than the Pioneer 8600.

Some good quality brands for a good price is Eclipse. But I honestly think the best bang for the buck would be to get a Pioneer deck. They would be great for your purposes. Pioneer P7600MP is a great deck.

 

so what do you guys think about this. Pioneer 7600 headunit and replace the front speakers with infiniti 5000cs speakers. Also what all is required to mount the component speakers.

 

nothing if they are the right size.. new adapters for the speakers to fit into the stock speaker harnes.. cant spell that word right.. dont konw why





this one?!? its sweet

 

I bought this one on ebay for 355.00 shipped. Shopping around, it looks like it retails for at least 400.00 w/o shipping.

That link is for a used one - it'sgoing for 279 as of right now... cant find any new ones on EBAY though.

Good luck,

I have a sony head unit which was $200 rockford 6x9's $200 Rockford Componet set up w/ tweeters $300 Sony XPlod 1200 watt amp $299 haven't decided what subs I want yet.

 

My mistake sorry. I wanted to say 8600 better than 9600, just miss the numbers... don't buy 7600. it is ugly.. get MP40 instead it is better...

 

JUST GOT THAT ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IT'S TTIIIGGHHT!!

 

shizzle

 

JVC KD-SX980 MP3,CDR - Line in - removable face - cd changer control - remote - works perfect with BOSE amps... ALPINE SUCKS.
