Quality 6.5 speakers that wont break the bank!
jcarter1885 replied to SMpaintball78's topic in Subwoofers / Speakers
Still using factory amp, so same power. Sounded better than stock even before mods were even made to aftermarket speaker installation. Even in my older Acura on some power and no mods done to aftermarket speakers, some cheap coaxials were better than stock. I think it's crazy to tell someone upgrading speakers over stock is a waste because they don't have the budget you would use on your upgrades. Granted its not an SQ vehicle he is building. -

Not true at all. I replaced my stocks with SSA Evil 6.5s and SB Acoustic tweeters for around $200 and its way better than the stock speakers. -

Just a heads up. Usually in a car, subs facing towards the cabin with the trunk sealed off gives the best results and also reducing rattles. You can also do subs facing towards the cabin with trunk sealed off and port through rear deck. I think the second option will be my next build when I go back to dual 12"s. With this orientation you will still have room in the back of the trunk as well. -

Dont worry about power levels, you can always adjust your volume levels or output to balance your sound system. Some amp have bass knobs that can control how much bass ypu can induce into your system to level it all out among other factors.

Which head unit?
jcarter1885 replied to BBN's topic in Amplifiers / Head Units / Processors / Electrical
Tuned in. As Im in between those two brands as well for my next head unit. -
Yes sir. Only thing wired up is the sub amp, still waiting on front stage amp to clean everything up.

Decided not to mount my sub amp to the enclosure and used a method from my first car I ever posted on here. Thanks to Home Depot for the shelf boards, which I am using to mount my amp. This is temporary till I get my big boy amplifier. Excuse the rat nest of wiring that is getting worked on some as we speak.
