i am looking to buy a pioneer z2, and 2 subs and an amp for my car. i have a 4080 box for the drivers side and is currently looking for a 4080 box for the passengers side. Is the pioneer z2 the best for the price?? it is pretty expensive.. cheapest i found it for was like 1300 on ebay. and also i was looking to spend around 500 on 2 subs.. and 500 on an amp.. what do you guys recommend for the price?? i was thinking a pair of jl 10w6, they run about 500 bux.. any other subs better for this price range..?? and also i was looking to get the jl 500/1 amp.. what do you guys think?? thanks

 

the head unit is a good choice, but for a better bang for the buck sub, go with a pair of elemental designs 11ov.2's or the new IDv3 subs

 

Make sure your amp has enough power to push two subs.

 

get the kenwood dnx7100.

the navi on the z2 sucks.

 

I have the dnx7100 like stoof recommended, i dont see the hype in the z2. i have my ipod video pluged in and i can watch anything the ipod has on it without disabling anything. plus gramin nav ftmfw.

good luck!

 

i have the stock navigation on my car. so you guys dont recommend the z2 then?? it is quite over priced.. how much does the kenwood one run?? and is there any setups out there thats better than the z2??

 

should i get 2 jl 500 amps to power 2 jl 10w6 or should i get one jl1000??

 

A single 1000/1. They are big, though, so plan your mounting location.

Are you going to keep the rest of the stock speakers? If you're going all out with two 10w6's, a 1000 watt amp, and a DD HU, you might as well add an amp to power new interior speakers. Otherwise, two 10w6's will completely overpower a stock system.

If you are looking to spend $1000 on subs and an amp to run them you should take a serious look at Rockford Fosgate. You could get a pair of P3D410 and a Punch 1000-1bd. I know there are alot to JL fans on here, but the new RF stuff is the best stuff on the market today. RF stuff is reliable more powerful and sounds really good. Check out the RF stuff for yourself: http://www.rockfordfosgate.com/home/

 

thanks guys for the input. i will look into RF stuff.. what kinda amp do you guys recommend for the interior speakers?? i am prolly gonna get the infinity kappa series.. looking to spend around 500 on interior speakers... what dd do you guys recommend.. about to purchase sometime todayy

 

For $500 for interior speakers, you can buy much better quality than Infinity.

 

hmm what kind should i get for around 300-400??

 

Focal, MB quarts, rainbow, DLS, there are other name brands that are awesome in your price range.

 

me personally I love diamond audio d6's for components, rap,rock, it doesnt matter what you listen to I love the sound quality you pick up off these, I'd put them against JL , Boston, Memphis, Eclipse
