SQ Set up

Recommended Posts

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

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 :rolleyes:

btw I have Infinity References atm, front and rear. Theyre a little lacking in the bass area

your deffinatly going to want a component set and running it active.

i have never heard any but heard very great things about them

Mach 5 Mlis they are a very good price here in the SSA shop

Maybe a pair of Seas Tweets or something else im not to knowlegable on tweets

paired up with Sundown power

i think that will set you off for a front stage. from the looks of it your not looking for an all out sq machine because you would be spending alot of money lol

as for sub stage a SSA dcon would pair up nice in my op.. maybe one twelve off decent power if tour looking for more go with the Icon i love the way they sound very musical sub and get plenty low

+1, but right now don't think about a sub... Figure what your front stage is going to look like, and focus on the placements during install. Definitely go active, for time alignment and freq tuning

Budget 1/3 of your cash towards sound deadening and speaker positioning materials. They're just as important as the actual equipment.

Time and patience are the important ones. Install is EVERYTHING!

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
