Howdy folks. I had a sound system in my previous car. Infiniti speakers, Alpine amp, Alpine radio, Diamond subwoofers. That car crapped out, and I now have a new (used) car. I would like to get a new sound system, and would like to hear some suggestions from the ever-knowledgable Clutchfans forum on where I would go to get the equipment and get it installed. I have 4 5X7 speakers and want only one 8" sub. I also want a relatively user-friendly radio and a 5 channel amp. This, along with the other parts needed to make them function to their highest capability and warranty, was quoted to me from Car Toys at $2,536. (Specfically, it was 4 Infiniti speakers, JL Audio sub, Infiniti amp, Alpine radio.) If it matters, I mainly listen to obscure metal bands, classic rock, and blues. So I don't need a pound-you-in-the-ass bass, just a sharp, crisp bass. Any words of wisdom and suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
I can't give you locations on where to get things from etc, but I always found that a decent amp and some 6x9's are usually enough to handle most types of music. Stick the 6x9's on an MDF parcel shelf and you should be well away.
you should get components in the front... the tweeters handle the high-range, the woofers handle the midrange... 6x9s in the back should be hooked to a crossover as well to not reproduce high range... the vocals and such should only come from the front for good sound staging... like a stage at a concert and a sub... infinity powered subs are nice
