How does this sound? comes with a 3 year warranty and they do quality insalls, not a circuit city but not as custom as streeteffectz.

The subs are about $100 dollars over priced and so are the rear coaxils. But i already substitured the front spearks which their quote was 700 and the amp for the sub was 500 so i saved $750. If i start bringing in too many "out of store" items my install price will go up so the extra $200 doesnt bother me. Thoughts and comments please.

 

Sounds like a awesome system, hope you enjoy it, whats the power on the eclipse by the way.

 

not bad

 

50 x 4RMS
75 x 4Max

i think, check the website to make sure.

 

why dont you go with a matching amp, and get the Fosgate 551x it will give u 70 watts RMS.

 

i double checked, they are 75 x4 RMS and 116x4 Peek, thanks for the help and looking out for me

 

One more thing. I am a diehard fan of Rockford amps, but theres subs is another story, Unless its Hx2 sub. Do u have any other choices with subs, I had a 500bd powering one 12 solobaric and that there was pretty damn loud. You got a nice SQ setup going so I was jsut suggesting one good subwoofer. Also u will love the 9815, I like it better than the 7897 I had.

 

nice system.. but for as much as you are gonna spend with this shop i think they could give you a little break on the poly k components... i have seen them on the net for like $300.... and the poly k2 are like $330.... plus the focal 165ca are a little high... i also agree with dnd on the sub.... why rockford.... why not focal, jl, or image dynamic... i also would try to match the amps... and personal i would go with zapco, diamond audio,arc audio, or phoenix gold... just my thoughts...

 

Sounds like a very good price on the install. I cringe every time I think of how much it cost me. :banghead:

With regards to the sub, what other brands do they carry?

 

What is your install anyways Master-G. My install was quite a but to if I add it up everytime it was changed, I Had 3 different amp racks done:wow:

 

This is my current setup:

Front Stage: CDT HD-63DT-S
Rear Fill: CDT CL-5X
Sub: Image Dynamics IDQ 10 (ported thru removed factory sub)
Front Stage Amp: a/d/s P450 (150 WRMS X 2)
Rear Fill Amp: Eclipse 36201 (50 WRMS X 2)
Sub Amp: Precision Power PPI 2400 (400 WRMS X 1)

Head Unit: Eclipse 8053
Custom Sub Box and Amp Rack
Stinger Wiring and Cables
Cascade Sound Dampening on all doors and trunk.

Before that I had an AudioLink interface between the stock HU and aftermarket amps. Along with an AudioControl EQ, it sounded pretty good. I went ahead and upgraded to an aftermarket HU, but I was getting some great sound from the stock HU with aftermarket speakers and amps.

The first install took nearly a week to finish. Sound dampening the doors and trunk took more time than I had thought (and the installers, too). When it was all said and done, I was really pleased with it, especially the look of the chrome PPI amp and speaker cover. The problem though is that it takes up a lot of trunk space. The install cost me twice as much as what Beason was quoted on.

 

Thats a tru Audiophile setup. Would have any pics do u.

 

Yeah, I've been wanting to take pictures of everything but my digital camera sucks. I'll see if I can borrow a better one and post some pics soon.

 

Yea i need to buy a digi-cam but all my paychecks go towards my system and food, I think the system is done for awhile and since I am almost 20 I am gonna start saving cash instead of blowing it away. what kind of do u have a custom made or metra kit.

 

I initially had a custom kit which also housed Eclipse's 6 disc in-dash changer, but the kit sucked even worse than my digital camera.

I've now since "liquidated" the changer and have the HU in a Metra kit.
