What to buy?

[TramanBaba]

dude did the unit you bought of this seller come with the ipod cable or do i have to source that somewhere else? because i thought it was included

no it wasnt included.. ive got an ipod FM transmitter anyways so it serves the purpose.. besides the aux in port is in teh rear for this one so bit of a bitch finding a good place to dock the ipod. still i reckon its worth the price without the ipod cable.. if i am not mistaken u can get them off ebay for $35 for so.

I'm in some serious need of help in regards to buying speakers for my R33, as I simply understand nothing about car audio. I also dont want to spend much money

I currently have sitting around:

JL Audio W6 sub (boxed)

Audiobahn A4075HCT amp (4ch, 4x75wRMS, 2400w ACH power)

Sony Xplod head unit (not sure what model cost about $800 3.5 years ago)

I need to buy some speakers (front and rear) to go with ths setup, and I have no idea which ones to go for. But I would like to keep the stock mounting point, no bulges or anything. I use to have some MB Quarts speakers before but not anymore.

Please give me your ideas on speakers, also what they would cost.

Hey guys, I wanted to get some front and back speakers (with an amp) and maybe upgrade to a sub later when i have more funds so i want to keep that option open too.

could anyone tell me what speakers and amp to go for? brand/size/price?

cheers

i dont care what anyone says, blaupunkt makes the ugliest decks i have ever seen.

all hail pioneer/alpine

try reliability- damn hard to kill - have a an alpine here in bits currently that has no sound for some reason.

Got a question. Iv got component speakers for the front, and normal speakers for the back, all 6 inch. Got a sub and a monoblock amp also, all soundstream. I need an amp i guess for the speakers. Question is :

1) Can i connect the component speakers to the amp or no need ?

2) what type of amp do i need, in terms of 2 channel, 4 channel ? and how many watts am i looking at. I prefer a soundstream amp also.

got a quick question,

does anyone know if Bezerk us audio amps are any good

[Chris Rogers]

as in US audio. - autobarn only brand. seem ok (fitted a few of them no issues.) though there is probably better

[shaun123]

dunno... i picked it up from strathfield says 'Bezerk US Audio', the guy recommened it over a JBL amp?? or said it would do just as good of a job

been trying to google around for it but doesnt seem like theres many reviews etc.. on them

[Chris Rogers]

sounds like a knock off of a knock off. if it was cheap and lasts more than 6 months then it will be fine ;p

[shaun123]

haha hope so..

knew i should of gone with the JBL amp!

hey guys,

Lookin at buying a soundsytem when i sell my car and get a new one. Lookin at either Soundstream or Rockford Fosgate. Wanting to do the whole car in one brand including: 2x 12" subs and of course the amplifier, 2x 6x9's in parcel shelf, and 6.5's in the doors with tweeters. looking at around 400RMS per sub. wanting really good quality loud music with some good bass, haha u know what i mean. any input or other recommendations would be great, so let me know what u think .

[Mikyel]

cant do flip out easily as one unit. pioneer have just release the AVICHD3 that does EVERYTHING.

in kenwood - the flipout screen and GPS module would be the go. not much change from $3k for the D3 and $2.3k for the kenwood setup.

steer clear of ebay

so what budget, car and music do I have to work with here. how loud do you want/listen to it.

I can do a RF system that will knock you socks off but you need to give me a starting point. suggestions would be at least $3k to do it right.

im jus curious to see what people's opinions are on the Best quality sound that will really pump. i have a cousin who can get me what i want, so pretty much any brand at any price to go in my R33. probably leaning towards soundstream cause it looks better, and has the good sound. thanks though, i appreciate ur help

The best 6inches i have heard are the Rockford Fosgate POWER (not punch) fair dinkim sounds like subs bout 450 bucks on ebay around the 600 in stores. Gotta check em out.
