casual

I am looking for an amp only

looking to put a clean sounding (sq) system in a nissan senta. I do not want to upgrade the alternator. Any on a amplifier suggestions in the $500 range. if it costs a little more that is fine also.

my plan was to go from factory h/u to cleansweep and just rewire everything from there. so i will basically be by passing the factory amps

Ok so if i am using the factory h/u, will a cleansweep work as the processor or wil li need an additional one

but when you buy raw drivers, won't I need an equalizer or something. Components have crossovers with crossover point. raw drivers don't. how do you tune then to make them sound good.

ok so can i have some component speaker and amp suggestions

How cheap is too cheap. Right now I have a spool of 12 guage speaker wire (walmart). And I have the better scosche rca's. Are these garbage or will I be able to use any?

I would like to install an SQ setup in my car. For right now I would like to keep the factory h/u. Also, I would like to keep all speakers in their original location just to keep everything looking stock. For subs I do not want anything more than 2 10's. I have even thought of 8's in the rear dash to make things a little lighter. Current setup.........6 speaker bose..........please view link for pics and I appreciate all suggestions. Would like to keep budget under $1000 http://s470.photobucket.com/albums/rr65/kcazual/

I am going with a sealed mdf box for 2 fi X. The box that I have is 30.5 x 12.4 x 12.8 inches. Do you think this is a good sized enclosure

Can someone please send me a link for the Fi X?

You gave me a tough blow Jim but i respect your honesty. Sometimes there are just soo many choices and it is hard to make a decision. Now that I have the hifonics, i wish i would have gotten a more powerful amp, but i suppose that is part of the learning curve. I have to admit though that......for the price, the rsd's give a pretty clean sound. I will run them until my ears seek higher ground. I will take your suggestions for next time though Jim So no one has any feelings on the blaupunkt 1400. Not that I do not like the sundown, but i recently heard this amp paired with a 12 oz matrix and the sound was some of the best i have heard.

also, if i wanted to be a little cheaper than both the sundown and the fi. how would the maw10 compare

So I will take it that you guys suggest i get 2 10's.LOL I just do not want to drown out the front of have the car rattle to death. also, will i need a equalizer or will the one in the headunit be enough Neither of you commented on what i bought so far. I am not sure if that is a good sign.lol

Thanks for the welcome. I was beginning to think that this was going to be a dead thread. The equipment that I have listed is what i have already bought and installed. I would say that the equipment and wires etc took around $400 out of the budget. Right now, I have the amp running the rsd's (I hope I bridged it correctly for max power) and the factory rears should be running off the headunit, however I think maybe I need to check my wiring because the rears are not playing. I basically wanted some comments on what I have thus far and some suggestions for sub amp and subs (not only a brand but whether I should go with 1-10" or 12" or 2- 8" or 10"). I want bass to fill the car without taking over the trunk Some amps and subs that I have looked at recently are: blaupunkt 1400 oz matrix elite 10"

New to the board and I am doing my first build. I am aiming for more sq than spl. working with a small budget but so far I have: headunit-pioneer 590 speakers-pheonix gold rsd 6.5 amplifier- hifonics txi 4406 Now I just need help deciding on sub and sub amp. I was thinking of 1 10", but i am not sure if this will be enough bass for a civic. Again i do not need spl, just something to sound tight while in the car. Nothing to rattle the car apart Trying to keep it around 800-900 for everything Suggestions, comments, please!!!!!!!!!!!!!
