Sound System From Factory (Seek Advice)

[GirlTORQUE]

HI all,

I've got an R33 and want to put a Sub woofer, Amps & maybe rear shelf speakers in.

I've got an Ok Kenwood head unit that's not too old. And 2 new door speakers.

The sound is awful.

I'm wondering if anyone knows if places like JB Hi Fi / Supercheap auto / Autobarn would be

best? I went into 2 of these stores already saying I only wanted to spend about $800 on 2 amps & a

sub woofer cuz i already have the head unit & speakers (for now)

He ended up trying to sell me $2000 worth of equip. (This was at Autobarn)

I go in there, i'm female and i'm an easy target.

I'd like to find somewhere thats fair & can provide sub & amps that will give good base & clear sound without distortion or popping.

I'm not showing or doing anything flash, Just want to hear good basey sound.

I thought about buying privately but too risky if you dont know what to look for.

My clarion door speakers are basic, The rear shelf speakers need upgrading.

I'd like a 4 channel amp & hopefully one that can run all speakers & the sub (If thats even possible)

Thanks heaps. Any advice / recommendations appreciated.

I dont know which goes with what and its scary & expensive when you're a chick as they see you as easy prey i think.

I need it installed too! I"m in South East Melbourne.

Is Strathfield car radio for example better? I dont want to get ripped off, want to be looked after & most importantly want my car

looked after & a job done well.

Thanks so much for reading.

Cheers.

Call or go see brett or sam at phatt audio in braeside , tell em troy sent ya of sau

you would be best to avoid all your listed shops IMO if you want it done right

Autobarn maybe ( option audio package , clarion , kenwood , pioneer)

yes you can run 1 amp to everything but sometimes its a compromise on power and can cost a fair bit more , dont forget speaker box and wiring add up fast too

another option move your front speakers to the back and buy some better ones for front and fade the backs way out

Depends on what you want in the long run a kick ass sound quality or loud as hell , or just something decent and be done with it

Show system ? your music tastes

Brand loyaltity ?

You dont want to jump at a 5 channel amp and upgrade later its going to be a waste in most cases of amp channel or you'll want to sell the amp, your better off with two amps or even 1 stereo amp running mixed mono , runs the 4 or 2 speakers and sub with passive x overs

Something like a 75w x2 to fronts and 300w sub

most new installers I know dont even know how to do it that way lol they got lazy shoot me a pm if you need more help

Cheers Troy
