Need help deciding on new system
|
Bronze Member Username: ColonelcackPost Number: 12 Registered: Jul-07 | Hello everyone, new here...need some help - I recently purchased a 1993 Jeep Cherokee and it has an all stock setup, and the speakers are blown. I want to put a whole new system in. According to Crutchfield this is my car's info: In-dash stereo 7-3/4" depth; Size code E Front speakers Dash: 3-1/2" Important requirements Front Door: 5-1/4" Rear speakers Tailgate: 5-1/4" I want to put in a new headunit, and all new speakers. Someone told me not to install new rear speakers though and instead to get a "truck speaker box" like this http://www.jcwhitney.com/COMFORT-PRODUCT...16219_10614.jcw They told me that no matter how nice of speakers I put in the rear that I would end up blowing them just because of their design they can't go loud? I'm not looking to go to any competitions or anything, however I like to listen to really loud heavy metal with very fast double bass drum beats (no rap). So I'm looking for some subs that would be ideal for this...something punchy, clean and fast...not necessarily super loud and deafening (I don't want it to drown out the rest of the system) but still powerful enough that you feel like you got socked in the stomach when the bass drops. Any input is much appreciated! Thanks! |

Don't worry about the dash speakers, kind of a waste. Grab an adapter and run 6.5 components up front and 5.25 co ax in rear. For headunits I perfer Eclipse. Subwoofer and amp, for the music you listen too, I HIGHLY recommend a nice SQ sub. Tune at about 35hz and you will be fine. Do you perfer 1 or 2 subs? Feel free to email me if you would like, the RD Audio Sonance or Alpha subs would br great with that application  Kevin lowhz01@yahoo.com |
