Alright, so I was talking to one of the car audio guys over at the best buy i work at and i was asking what he would recommend i get for my car. he started off tellin me one system then when i told him i listened to only rock he suggested this and im wondering what anybody who knows much about audio systems has to say:
2x 6.5's front speakers (infinity kappas)
2x 6x9 rear speakers (infinity kappas)
1x Alpine 4/3/2 4 Channel amp- F300
1x Alpine m500 mono amp
2x Kenwood 12" subs w3012
Quest ported box
Dual 4awg amp kit
1 set twisted pair rca cable
I dont know a ton of car audio but he said this would be a great kit and with my discount would be under $500. any good?
ANd would the radio i got in there still be good cuz i got my xm thats standard in there
hardest part would to be install door speakers to me. only for the fact idk how to take off the door panels. the rear deck is fairly easy to take off. and if those subs are dual voice coil make sure you wire them up right
yeah each could take about 500, but you can't run 500 watts off of that amp because you have two 4ohm subs. you can only wire those subs in 1ohm *which your amp can't handle* or 2ohm.
well how much are you looking to spend? and do you have an ipod? and do you want bluetooth, LCD screen, USB drive, or auxiliary cable. it just all depends on what you want it to do. i'd say go alpine because Best Buy carries it, you get the discount, and they tend to have all kinds of goodies with their H/Units. Most come with iPod capability and auxiliary ports so you can add an mp3, laptop, or w/e
that has XM capability and then if you buy the optional iPod cord you can control the ipod through the stereo without having to touch it once. pretty decently priced for a pretty decent H/U.
this is a pretty good looking screen. but make sure to ask questions before you buy. i'm looking this up strictly from what it says here online and it looks pretty nice
you gotta remember w/ aftermarket decks that say they are xm ready though you still have to buy an additional adapter for it. you cant just plug your xm right into the stereo. when i got my pioneer head unit i had to spend another 100 bucks for the xm receiver. when the deck says its "satellite ready" that just means that you can spend the money for the receiver
so i just need one that'll play my xm and ipod and cds and will work with the system. but just leave me posts, gotta get ready for work then go work from 1230-830. WOOT FOR 8 HOUR SHIFTS. lol
i just have a system i got from various people on ebay, sony amp, pyramid subs, two walmart speakers, I'm happy with it
