Just would like to see what people got and why?

 

i like memphis for highs and mids, there awesome, but u need a sub if u get them, there also cheap money wise, and like 10 times better then anything else, but thats IMO

 

It depends on your budget and what you hope to achieve. If you're just looking for better sound, its been said that 'anything is better then stock'. I completely agree. I threw a 6 year old set of pioneer 6.5" coaxials in the back, and a set of audiobahn 5.25" components that I got on clearance for $55 in the front. The sound is really good... just not quite loud enough, but I'll take care of that later. The stock speakers are complete POOP. I've seen better cardboard on 3rd grader's art projects.

 

i was on a budget so i got clarion 5x7 plate speakers SRC5794's couldn't be happier, im gonna add 2 clarion 10" DVC subs and a 400w amp (dunno what brand yet)
________
XJ

 

fusion, powerplant line (spkrs, amps, sub)

-virtually unheard of in the us
-paid waaay below retail (see above)
-sound is clean and undistorted
-ppl say, "fusion? never heard of that. sounds sweet tho."

 

everything is fusion. my rears are 6.5 coax's (in my sig)

...but, i am already making plans for another system. the only thing is i need to decide if i wanna rip out this system or just buy another car and do a whole new system in there? dunno just yet.

car choices:
-mazda6
-rx8
-ford forty-nine

system:
-audio development/sinfoni
-focal utopia
-brax/helix

 

I think it depends on a few things:
[1] How much do you want to spend?
[2] Will you be adding an amp or sub?
[3] What kind of sound do you like?

My answer to #1 was "not very much" and to #2 was "yes on the amp, no on the sub". I auditioned everything I could find in the middle-low price range and ended up with JBL GTOs, which I like a lot. They sound very much like the Infinity Reference line.

 

um, yeah. wow, you did your homework. i originally had the 3-way, but it was too deep for the door, so i went with the 2-way. honestly tho, rear fill is not really necessary. i just did it so that there weren't any "holes" in my car. but then again, now that i have a "theatre" in my ride, the rear-fill worked out just fine.

too bad you don't live in hawaii. i rarely sell my stuff. i usually give it away when i'm done, and my brother usually gets first dibs, then my friend will. i had an autotek eq for 2 months b4 getting a gs designs eq. so down the chain my stuff went. brother got autotek, friend will got his (used to be mine) kenwood eq.

 

oh yeah, it's really not necessary to match components, altho i believe that some stuff work better together. like i wouldn't mix and match spkrs (front/rear), based on the difference of sound quality btwn spkr brands.

i just tried to get it all looking nice.

 

hehe, i never heard my stuff b4 i bought it. i bought everything sight unseen. there are no fusion sellers/dealers in hawaii, so i was super nervous when installing it, hoping it wouldn't sound too bad. but damn, i was pretty surprised at the outcome!

yeah, buying blind is scary, but you're twice as happy if it turns out good!

 

This is a great help.
