New member Username: Egm220Post Number: 1 Registered: May-07 | hi guys opinions would be of great help to me. i plan to upgrade the audio system in my car. i dont want to replace the headunit. i already have a little idea of how my set up would be. im more into sq than spl. for starters, JL clean sweep, then morel dotech ovation in front, i would love to have the polk sr6500, but its kinda off my budget, as for the subs, i thought of getting the 10w1v2, but i might go for w6 or w3, maybe the 8w7, for rear speakers, morel 6x9, i still want passengers at the back to be able to listen to the system, and just one amp to power the front component and the sub, rear speakers would be powered by the clean sweep directly. as for the amp, im choosing between JL and infinity, forgot the model, but its still subject to change. i like my music a lot, but in the car audio department, im still kinda new to the details. help me with suggestions and feedback on my planned setup... thanks  |

If you decided to go with JL, go with w6s and you'll need a separate sub amp for those - JL 1000/1. Your speaker selection looks good from what I hear, but I recommend running them all off an amp. By the time we're done recommending, most likely none of your stuff will be JL. What's the budget for the whole thing? |

Gold Member Username: OlegSanta Monica, CA USA Post Number: 1278 Registered: Nov-04 | You can go with something like kicker zx850.4 or sx900.4. Shoot for the digital SX though, I've heard good reviews about it with powering components; it's also a digital amp. You're going to need an amp that does solid 150Wx4 RMS. If you can, just on this amp: http://cgi.ebay.com/Precision-Power-Class-Pro-Amp-PCX-4125-4channel_W0QQitemZ110 123185752QQihZ001QQcategoryZ39739QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem Lots of people say those are some of the best SQ amps. It's also more expensive. But again, how's the budget for everything? How much are you spending for both sets of morels? |

New member Username: Egm220Post Number: 5 Registered: May-07 | i think oleg is right in saying that by the time i reviewed all of ur suggestions, i'd end up with nothing JL... except for the clean sweep thanks for the offer kevin. im from the philippines thou, i doubt ur from my area. but thanks anyway. the installers first suggestion were these.. JL clean sweep is always part of the equation first suggestion 1. infinity 7541 amps 2.kappa perfect 10"subs 3. kappa perfect 2 way components up front 4. infinity 6x9 coax at the rear second suggestion 1. JL a4300 amps - which i think are underpowered 2. JL 10w1v2 - comments please 3. focal 165v2 components or morel dotech ovation for the front - i prefer morel, dont like metal tweeters. 4. focal or morel coax 6x9 at the back. there. budget i suppose would be around 1500USD thanks again |

Gold Member Username: OlegSanta Monica, CA USA Post Number: 1292 Registered: Nov-04 | Ok, take away from the budget...how much are you spending for both sets of morels? Since you said you don't like hard dome tweeters, I'd stay away from focal because ppl are saying they're harsh. 1. def go with kicker sx900.4 or zx850.4 for the morels 2. TC sounds TC-9. Heard very good things about it 3. go with morel - from what i've heard, it's good 4. sub amp? you'll need 1600W rms for those subs zx850.4 is $300+shipping 2 TC-9s are $430+shipping don't know how much morels are for amp, Kevin, you do deals on sundown saz-1500? That should come to about $1500, try to shop on ebay to save. I'm also not sure how much it is to ship to your country. |
