So... the stock sound system isn't cutting it for me. I have about $1000 to burn on a GOOD car audio system. Leaving the head unit as is, replace the two front speakers and the two in the back plus a sub, crossover, amp for the 4 and another for the sub. I want clean mid and high voices without any distortion and clean "pumpy" bass. Please HELP

 

Get an enclosure from uncald4, so that takes care of your enclosure and he'll recommend a sub. Get an amp which will take high level inputs, replace the front speakers with 2ohm replacements. Infinity kappas are the local favorites.

 

what size are the stock speakers?

I can't do much research since im at work atm.

 

Do you plan on installing yourself or are you getting someone else to install for you?

My step dad does radios so he will be doing the installation.

I can't find karpas in 6 1/4 size, do they mean 6 1/2?

 

Sounds good if you get the Uncald enclosure its going to pretty much give you about $600 or less to work with not sure if you wanted to go that route.

I am using speakers of a company my buddy owns. www.exileaudio.com

His product is pretty good and durable and my 10" sub is pretty responsive to bass and the exile amp that I paired with it.

For some reason I really think it is 6 1/2 that is what crutchfield says.

 

He was recommending some speakers, I'll get the names and compare the kappas and some jl with them and once I come back from my vacation I'll jump on it. I think I'll skip the unclab's boxes because they're a bit expensive. I may build it myself since I love DIYs. Thanks everyone, I'll keep ya posted.

 

Is there a point in replacing the speakers due to the stock head unit?

how much does the stock unit put out? navi or reg?

 

Why do we get the EXACT same questions 10 times a week? It's all here in detail, just search.

 

lol...he sounds like me!

Last month I spend $700 on Polk Audio component 2-way front speakers, Polk 2-way rear speakers and a 2-way Kicker center speaker. I also bought Polks best tweeters for the dash. I did a test fit/listen, and ended up returning the front component and dash speakers. The stock speakers are much more efficient. So basically I kept just the rear Polks and Kicker center. I had a High quality Diamond 12" sub in a 2 cu/ft ported box installed with a 1.5 farad cap and a high quality mono sub amp. The amp is 500rms at 4 ohms, 800rms at 2 ohms, and 1200rms at 1 ohm. I have it hooked up at 4 ohms and 500 clean rms watts and it sounds great. I recently took the amp and cap off the box and custom mounted the amp/cap.

If you want to really upgrade the system you will have to get a processor to clean up the sound and buy several amps for the less efficient aftermarket speakers.

 

Cause people are inherently lazy. Also people want to put out there what they're doing to their car so either they can brag about how much better their idea is, how much money they can spend, to gain street cred by talking the talk,... it's all about acceptance I think. In security because they can't make their own decision so why not ask everyone else to draw attention to your project?

I'd rather just flame someone by telling them to RTFM than give them advice on something someone else in 50 different places have already answered the question.

</step off soapbox>

 

Every other thread has people that use a specfic brand of speaker, I think this guy just wanted some feedback from everyone on what type or speakers thry are using as far as interior.

 

1000 $ wont cut it if you follow advice from the people around here . but i wouldn't do it if u are not really gonna improve much on it.

 

that hifonics amp is far from high quality. those are budget amps

 

Thank you for the plug.

I'd stick around and add to this but those pictures are burning my eyes. Please take them away!

 

But it says it's a Super Class-D Mono

 

considering what you have, it'll do

 

JD TL-S, I'm considering a single sub woofer set up that fires through the trunk port as yours does. Is that a custom built box or a pre-made? If it's pre-made, do you have the make and model?

Thanks.
