Hmm, I will look into some higher quality front components then. Do you suggest any, if you are not a JL fan?

So you are saying to go with just 2-speakers for the entire car? I've seen/read of this done before, but I don't necessarily know how it sounds to have just two. Everything else I have is JL -- amps, subs, and (possibly) soon speakers. So I was just trying to stay in the family.

Hey there, I posted a topic earlier about my 68 Camaro: http://www.soundsolutionsaudio.com/forum/i...showtopic=10357 I decided to build a new sub box, ported, to try and up my bass. Next I want to replace my current speakers, they aren't the best. I am trying to keep my budget around $600-700. I went to the local Car Phonics and they suggested this setup, and quoted me $692 (including install). However, I found the same speakers on ebay for under $300 (for both) and would be perfectly comfortable installing them myself. http://mobile.jlaudio.com/products_components.php?comp_id=61 http://mobile.jlaudio.com/products_compone...php?comp_id=129 Is this a good setup for my car? I would like to stick with JL preferably, and I cannot afford their ZR line. For $300, is this a good deal? Thanks again, Jeff

I didn't put them on, I think the side marker lamps are rather ugly on the old camaros

Well about a month ago we built a 383 Stroker to swap with the 350 that was in it. It's pushing about 450hp with 470lbs torque. At the same time we swapped the old TH400 tranny with a 700r4. Other than that, we basically did everything to it, I mean, it was honestly just a shell when we got it: And here's the new motor

Ok, thanks. I will look into some ported boxes. Do you think I'd be better off building my own? Let's say in a few months after I recover from the $6900 i dropped into my new motor I do decide to upgrade my gear. What would you suggest for a car like mine? Not the most expensive, but quality stuff.

I would prefer sticking with the gear I already have. I just dropped a few grand on my new motor, so yeah, my budget is fairly tight right now Besides, I would rather replace my current speakers than my subs anyway.

I don't have any pictures of my current setup, I will take some tomorrow morning though. It's a bit late to take them right now I am running the 12" W1v2 JL subs: http://mobile.jlaudio.com/products_subs.php?series_id=16 For the amps I have an e4300 powering the 4 speakers and a e1400D powering my subs. I am running all of this through an Alpine CDA-9856 deck This car is my everyday driver, I'm only 18 years old -- me and my dad rebuilt this car when i was 13-14 -- and I drive around a lot with a lot of friends, and we like to listen to our music -- like any young person does. We listen to mainly rap/hip-hop, some rock, and anything modern or basically, on the radio. I want to be able to get a nice clean sound from it without making all the parts in my car rattle, because as you know Camaro's back then weren't exactly built sound-tight. I would like an even mix of sound quality and loud bass. Probably lean more towards sound quality because if you get too much bass in an old car, it tends to bring out the rattle Thanks for the quick reply and the help.

Hey there, First time here. Looks like quite an interesting site -- I got a lot of reading to do I have a 1968 Camaro that I have a custom system in. I have 2 JL 12" subs in the trunk right now, that are just in a standard sealed box. I am wondering what the best setup would be for my subs. Do I want to keep a sealed box? Do I want a ported box? Do I want them facing away from the passengers or towards them? I have them facing away currently -- as that is what I was always told to do, but then again I see some people mounting their subs inward. Any advice would be great, thanks. Jeff
