Oookay its time to get some good sound from tha AC this is what I have in now..
picture, quality, everything is good EXCEPT tha sound it SUCKS...ok so i wanna get new speakers and an AMP. So I juz need advice on what to get and what brands w/o breaking my pockets..nothing fancy or showy juz something to give me clarity and more power and some thump to be heard when it nice and hot outside. So c'mon help a brotha out ! thanx in advance.

Oh you asked a question... sorry... let me clean this keyboard up... ... ...

For clarity... The lows is the easiest thing to hook up... sooo maybe working on your mids and highs first...

For some good components with clear sound i've heard the Kicker RS6c is good and clear... its about $300 but you can probably find it for $200... $150 at the least... Comes with your 2 6.5" Mid and 2 Tweets if i'm correct...

Although i perfer Audiobahn... but maybe sticking to the same brand of receiver would be best...

I have sony x-plod's in my 6.5's they thump like hell.....rattle my rear plate. but i heard infinity golds are the best out there.

cali2.5tl

i have infinity kappa's and they sound really good in my opinion, they can really handle power and most importantly the clarity stays when you raise the volume, not much distortion at all. they are a little pricey though. so in your case id go with some pioneer's or alpine type R which has gotten pretty good reviews . but if u wanna go balls out, can't go wrong with infinity, focal, or MB quarts... good luck

how much are you willing to spend??

Clarity-you need some mids (doors 6.5" and tweeters). there are combo of both mids and tweeters called "components" and there are diff brands you can choose from, depending on your budget. high quality components are Focal, JL, infinity, mb quart, Boston acoustic, Digital design, Diamond audio, alpine, ...

Bass-you will need subwoofers. you can find those on ebay easily or you can maybe go to a pawn shop and find you some...maybe flea market??? high quality subwoofers are JL Audio, Digital design, Alpine, rockford fosgate, kicker, image dynamic, ...

Amplifier-these will be most important. If you get a sub that is powerful, 400RMS and up, you will need a powerful amp to push it. or if you get an expensive component, you will need an aftermarket amp to push that too if you want clarity..dont rely on the amp of your head unit, its not enough.

all of this should be powered by aftermarket head unit. DO not use a stock radio or your motorized flip out screen to power your speakers and subs. Buy you an aftermarket head unit. I would suggest alpine or eclipse but its whatever you want.

In my lifetime, I have installed or have had an Infinity, Sony, Kenwood,Blaunpunkt,Pioneer, and polk speakers. Most of them went back on eBay. I love the 4-way Pioneer 6.5 and 6x9 speakers. They are crisp and clear. Ofcourse you will need an amp to get the best out of them.
I tried to push my speaker to the limit thats why I have 11 speakers.
2=6.5
2=6x9
2=roof center speakers
2=tweeters
1= indash center speaker
2=Blaunpunkt flat 10' subwoofers mounted under the front seats.

I have a one amp, Bazooka, to power the subwoofers.
The rest is just from the head unit. 50watt per channel.

In the future I want to try and put 2 more speaker on the 2 rear doors.
But I think I have to cut a hole. Did anyone did it before? How hard is it to cut the hole for a new speaker?

what are u looking for??? i can call him up.. last deal i got was a 12" kicker CVR and 600 watt amp with pioneer MP3 player for 400$... really good deal.. installed into my friends maxima.. didn't get picks tho

i have to disagree... pioneers are decent for their price... but i would take infinity and polk over pioneer any day.

GSteg

I have to disagree, focals coaxials are probably the better coaxials. Oh wait, we have a price budget

JLintheTL

or if you're a true balla you can go with focal utopia, scanspeak, or rainbow

LeathaFace

yea u guys were right i went window shoppin and thought i was gonna get somethin descent for around $500 but it looks like i will be messin wit Kam and his hook up cuz if not imma be goin over budget.. I aint have it like that at tha time. to go all out... Drew all i wanted was a AMP (4-channel) and new speakers that all...juz a lil sound enhancement cuz I can always add more later.. ya kno

oh yeah bring cash.. he won't charge u tax...

JLintheTL

since kamlung can get you some kickers, ask the place for some kicker L7. those things can hit with the right box...for real! you probably just need one 15 or get 2 12 L7s

One of the best sounds out there is Boston Acoustics. They're famous for their Z component systems retailed at $1000. I have the step below it, the boston Pro 6.5 Components. They are the best i've heard. a Set of those are around $450, but they make a lot more models for 200-300 that still sound amazing. and of Course, you have to power them with an external amplifier to get the best sound. I'd recommend Mb Quart for amps, or higher-up Rockford, MTX, or Alpine. I have one JL Audio 12-inch W3 for the bass, with an Alpine mono amp. it kicks.

i have 2 w6v2 and its not enough. i want to upgrade to either 2 12w7 or 1 13w7

GSteg

What enclosure is your w6s in?

GSteg

Werd. My friend has this amp and he's selling it:

His is not stock though. It's modified with the Burr Brown chip upgrade. VERY powerful amp. I would use one if I didn't already have my JBL

TLBaller

custom box using mdf wood with its spec. its the only way to have those babies hit with the right tune. it really does hit hard.

GSteg

yes, but what are the specs. lol
