so im in the midst of pulling a full overhaul on my stock tl system, im off to a nice start, for a headunit i went with a kenwood 8017, and i am currently finishing up my fiberglass work in the trunk, 2 12-inch kicker L7's will be going into a custome fiberglass enclosure ive been working on for quite some time. To power the kicker subs i have an orion 2500d amp.

now heres where my knowledge is not so bueno and i need some help.

im searching for a nice interior speaker set up that will work nicely with the loud bass setup ive got going on in the trunk.

So can anyone recomend some good speaker choices and a nice amp choice to power me up??

 

what's your budget? Enough for $1000 DLS?

 

no budget really, im jus looking to get a nice set up thats going to function well with my bass setup, and im gonna be able to rely on and not have too worry about, i like to spend the money the first time and do things right.

 

I'd suggest DLS Iridiums. I've heard them powered by a Zapco 750.2 and sounded amazing.

 

anyone???

 

Depends on your personal tastes. Go out to some high end shops, or local car audio shows and listen to some sets (in a car preferably, soundboards aren't the best indicator of how they will sound in your car). There are a shit ton of very expensive sets that get bitch slapped by speakers that cost half or less, especially if you piece a set together yourself. Check out https://www.diymobileaudio.com, lots of great speaker reviews and good info there. Oh, and if you haven't already.. get an HO alternator w/some balls cause that Orion is a hog, your stock alt would not last a day I PROMISE.

 

You really need to state a budget, actually.

Iridiums are good - two and three way.

The new Hertz stuff is good.

Dynaudio, Morel...

If it needs to be loud, I'd be open to a dome mid/dome tweet/6.5 midbass three-way set and a 4-channel amp (Zapco DC1000?).

But for imaging that threeway should have small skinny kick panels with the dome mid and dome tweeter.


You need to determine budget and install method.
