Recommendations on Audio Shops
Folks,
Still trying to get my Gcoupe, but already eyeing my audio upgrade. Wondering if anyone has any hookups on a reliable and competent audio shop in the VA/MD/DC area. I'm a audiophile n00b so I've been reading around and doing some research on FAQs and tutorials. I also have a friend who swears by JL products. I'm sorta planning the following:
-Replace stock component speakers with aftermarket. Not sure if the Bose system uses component or coaxial connections. I'm not sure about the speaker sizes either. I'm looking to get replacements that will fit behind the stock speaker grilles.
-New component speaker amp 300/4 from JL. I've seen some sample setups and this seems to the bread and butter amp for JL. Wondering if stock Bose amp is sufficient since I'll be replacing the rear 6x9 with a sub.
-Get rid of the rear 6x9 and get a sealed 12w7 enclosure with a 500/1 amp. Anyone know if the JL sealed 12w7 enclosure will fit in the G35coupe trunk? I saw the trunk and it's small as $hit. Anyone recommend a 1000/1 amp? Read about ported, bandpass, and isobarik designs, but I think there isn't enough space to do this practically in the G35 coupe trunk.
I welcome your comments and suggestions. Thanks!
