Re: Need a speaker recommendation

JL Audio XR650Csi's for front door and tweeters are wonderful speakers.. a lil pricey..but worth their price (having my old ones installed in my sedan in the next couple weeks.)

Re: Need a speaker recommendation

some very good suggestions, you guys are great.

But I do not have any money left over from wheels/TT to spend on a "good" system. Again, I am not an audiophile, just looking for clarity. I do NOT even have an amp (I've got the stock NON-Bose system).

Infinity Baselink kind of grabbed my attention - I have seen it on a sedan. It's a self-contained black box unit, right? Do you run the wires to the main 4 speakers through the basslink or still directly from the HU?

Yes, it's a self contained box....see pict above.
You do not wire the 4 main speakers through the sub. Just need to tie into the signal going to the Amp, or rear speakers. If you just tie into the rear speakers, the bass will be dependant on the fader. Just keep that in mind. Not difficult at all, and the instuctions that come with the Basslink is very good.

Re: Need a speaker recommendation

Looks like it only has low inputs. So pick up a high/low converter (LOC) and your set.

Actually has both high and low inputs, so no need for a converter.

Re: Need a speaker recommendation

This is perfect for me, so I do NOT need an LOC, jus tap the line going to the right or left REAR speaker and that's it!?

And someone said that this one is about $75? That's perfect. Where?

Your advice has been great thanks again

Re: Need a speaker recommendation

Also, guys, when I install the sub in, I should make sure that the low end does nto go to the in cabin speakers right? Are there capacitors or smth that I need to buy and connect in line with the inputs to the main speakers that will cut off the low end frequencies.

Re: Need a speaker recommendation

Actually, it's around $200 or above. Etronics has it for $209 here: http://www.etronics.com/product.asp?...de=infbasslink

The $75 sub needed a separate amp, and enclosure. Sorry for the confusion.
The Basslink has built in low pass filters, so you don't need anything in the line, just hook it straight to the high inputs. It takes care of the rest. You will need to run the Power cable to the battery, and will need a grounding point on the body of the car in the trunk. Follow that link above to learn more about that all in one sub.

Re: Need a speaker recommendation

My recommendation is to go to your local audio shop and listen to the speakers on the board . . . name brands are all fine and dandy, but you gotta get what suits your taste and budget best . . nobody could tell you otherwise

Re: Need a speaker recommendation

What would you audio guys think about installing the Focal utopia 165w in the front and the Focal 5ws in the rear doors? I plan on using the stock h/u and a precision power dcx 600.4 amp. I want a decent full range setup, no need for a sub right now.

Sorry for the hijack, I haven't gotten much respons on other posts.

Thanks
