    SQ Set up

    I agree with forgetting about the sub for now. And as far as components go, I'm not against them. I was just being lazy lol. I've heard good things about Seas, but nothing about Mach 5 Mlis. I'm going to have to look into that. I'm plan on stopping by a few audio shops and checking some of these out if they have them in stock. I'll post what I come up with

    SQ Set up

    I'm looking for a high SQ set up for my next car. I'm not sure what the car will be but it's coming soon. I'm in the idea phase right now. I'm looking for ideas on speakers, preferably coaxial. I'm also looking for a new amp for the speakers. I mean I want to have eargasms every time I get in the car lol. Also, at some point I do want a sub, but like I said I'm focusing on sound quality. I don't want it to overpower the speakers, but compliment them. I really want it to hit the really low notes with enough ease as I don't have to have it up all the way where the higher end of the base spectrum is too powerful. I listen to pretty much everything, including jazz, but mainly rap/ hip hop. I was thinking about a 12in Q, but if there are any other suggestions I'm open to them. I'm gonna have about a 2000 budget too. I really don't want to go over it at 2,000, but if it is necessary, I MIGHT go as high as 2500, but I would hold off on the sub if it came to that. Definitely nothing over. As far as speakers I was thinking somewhere along the lines of Morel Tempos, but if there is anything out there that is noticeably better and not that much more, I'd love to hear suggestions. Or if there is anything that is close to that quality, but cheaper. I'm willing to downgrade slighly

    SQ Set up

    lol that obvious huh? Trust me I plan on doing A LOT of research. I don't spend anything unless I know exactly what I'm getting into. I just want ideas now. I'm not making any decisions for awhile. This is for a future car btw I have Infinity References atm, front and rear. Theyre a little lacking in the bass area
  4. This is for a friend this time, not for me. Anyways, he just bought an autotek SM1-1500 (street machine), pushin 375 rms in 4 channels at 4ohms. Lookin for 6.5s in the front and 6x9s in the back, tryin to spend somehwere around the $200 range for each.
  5. will do, ill check it tom
  6. Was drivin around testin out new speakers and was turning up the volume, and when it hit 29/35 everything just shut off. So i figured I blew a fuse. I checked the fuse box numerous times and the fuses are all fine. Took out the HU cuz a buddy said there was a fuse behind it... nothing... I have no clue where to go from this point.
  7. lol, 2nd fuse box under the hood, still a problem tho. Ive blown it 3 times already on accident. (finger slipped haha) is there a way to stop it form happening or do i just have to deal w/it?

    New Guy

    Hey, a friend recommended me to these forums because I'm trying to buy a new sub. I've been searching around for a couple weeks and finally decided to actually register.
  9. I've been looking for a cheap amp to power 2 morel tempo 6in coax, and i found a small one, but i came across this CRAZY deal and for the same price, i get more power, plus extra to give my sub in the back more than it gets right now http://www.ugotadeal.com/product_info.php?...uejmadbkkre83j5 and if thats not enough i can always go with http://www.ugotadeal.com/product_info.php?...uejmadbkkre83j5 for a couple bucks more no prob. I just wanna make sure it's worth it because I've never heard of Crunch before yesterday
  10. just got the two 6x9s in the back and yeah i def agree. The infinitys sound nice, but are lacking bass... hoping to hear more asa i get this thing amped. My budget would be somewhere around 100 to 150 range... At this point I'll probably go with some Planet Audios through ebay
  11. thnks ill check around ebay for em... neways i ended up goin w/ these http://www.infinitysystems.com/car/product...&Region=USA at best buy, on the spot, outta frustration because i got sick of waiting and they sounded way better than the alpine type Rs of the same size and they were only 100 bucks. Hopin to get 6x9s on friday to even up the sound difference. Then comes the amp... gonna have to be 4 way now cuz its gonna b a sin not to amp these haha 6x9s im lookin at http://www.crutchfield.com/S-bOSeJq24Ach/A...aspx?i=1086927I the reference series was pretty good so might as well go the step up... I can probably get em round 80
  12. are they that ? I'd go for quality, but my dad doesnt want me to amp them neways/ put that much money into it so im looking for somethin cheap to sway it
  13. thnks, I'll check those out http://www.morelhifi.com/products/mob_poin...kers_tempo.html I'm just lookin to power two of these HU is an Alpine 9831 http://sonicelectronix.com/item_11251_Dual+XIA4225.html# looks alright to me...
  14. yeah, thts a lil much... dont thnk ill go the 4 way route then... I found a cheap 2 way though that should work for the 2 speakers http://www.crutchfield.com/App/Product/Ite...fier&tp=115 i found it about 30 bucks less on another site too through crutchfield so it cant be bad right? :/
  15. thanks, they do have a 3 yr warranty but thts like 30 bucks... I actually almost bought this too.... It looked pretty good :/ http://www.maxxsonics.com/crunch/GP_subs.html here's their main site if that helps..

    Ok so im pretty much getting brand new everything What I have now... HU: Alpine CDA- 9831 Current Amp: Rockford Fosgate Punch 500S And I got a rf 12" sub in the back. Speakers: factory Car: 1997 Honda Accord SE So far I'm planning on.... (havn't bought any of these yet) Im pretty set on the sub and amp, not so sure about the speakers. Subwoofer: 15" SSD w/ copper wire (i want it sealed, but coudlnt find the specs...) $215 ( I might go with the 12") Amp: AudioQue 1200D $240 Front Speakers: im looking at these http://www.cadencestore.com/ProductCart/pc...mp;idproduct=95 $70 They looked like a good deal, but I just want some feedback because I'm pretty new at this. If you guys disagree and happen to suggest something else, I'd say my budget is somewhere around $150 for the speakers. Im looking at coaxial speakers because I dont really wanna deal w/ the component crap/ I dont know how lol. I had some help from a friend because ,honestly, I was going to go with these lol http://www.crutchfield.com/App/Product/Ite...&i=113W3011 because of the price/ good ratings, but I'm glad he mentioned fi. I did some research on my own too haha. Now me being 18, I'm all about bang for buck so the cheaper the better. This is just going to be for daily driving and SQ.

    I trust your judgement, but thts a HUGE change haha. I was counting on the sub. How much better can speakers really sound? Funny though, I just got another hundred bucks from my uncle like 15 min ago lol (late bday). I was gonna save it, but ill add it to the speakers if you truly believe its worth the money... So now my budget is 250 haha. Dont wanna throw 500 bucks into speakers right now, I'll step it up when i get outta college haha

    SQ is definitely a priority, and they will be amped, if not immediately in the near future... So im guessing ur going w/ the first? haha

    sry for the double post but if i edited, i dont thnk ppl would have noticed in time and i wanna get this figured out by tomorrow http://www.zapco.com/prod/Speakers/i-Force/i-502_Frame.htm $125 set of coaxials i found... compared to http://www.cadencestore.com/ProductCart/pc...mp;idproduct=95 $70 Im pretty sure most are gonna go with the first, but I just wanna make sure before i start throwing out money... Based on the price and specs, wuts the better deal?

    SSD 12 or 15

    thanks, edited my first post to see if I'd get better answers haha. But I'll take you word for it. Thanks, 15 it is

    SSD 12 or 15

    This is the first sub that I'm going to personally set up and I was just wondering what the major differences are between the SSD 12 and SSD 15... So far I've been told, "Oh, well that's up to your preference." I have no preference yet lol. From what I've seen online, the 15 would be louder and deeper, but would lose some SQ... In FI subs is it that much of a difference? What do MOST people seem to prefer based on personal experience? I listen to rap mainly, but I switch it up every now and then to R&B, jazz, and maybe a little rock here and there. Long story short... is it worth the 20 bucks haha

    ok thanks, those prices are about right. I'm gonna keep on looking at them. MOREL TEMPO 5 110watt rms RRP $224 <<< cheapest i can find I'm still open for more thoughts. $200 is a little much at the moment... I'd only pay that if it was REALLY worth it. I wouldn't go over... Not now at least. If someone can give me feedback on the cadence that'd be great.

    I'm liking the look of the Morel Tempo 2 ways... Any idea of a price range off the top? Suggested retail prices range from $199.95 to $299.95 answered my own question... looks good, but i may not be able to do it right away... Hertz looks pretty good too, but the price is in Euros lol.
