Thoughts on potential speaker setup

[Andy_Mac]

Looking at getting a better setup for my legacy as it currently sounds like absolute rubbish.

Thinking maybe two 6x9\'s in the section behind rear seats. I\'ve heard good things about rockford fosgate and figured i\'d go with them for these speakers atleast. Just not sure whether to go for the punch series or prime. Anyone tried both as if the punch is not much better i\'d rather not spend the extra $$

Also i can\'t be bothered with a sub as space is limited as is in a sedan.

Thinking either of these

With

For the amp

And the door speakers will get sorted after i make up my mind for this part

Thats a lot of money to spend on a pidgey little 2ch amp. Get a 4 channel so you can amp the fronts later.

Talk to resurrection or mattapo should be able to hook you up.

[Andy_Mac]

changed my mind from that, had a look in the boot and what i thought was a 2nd 6x9 hole was actually something much smaller, so going to stick with one 6x9 for now.

would these see much benefit from being hooked up to an amp

thinking maybe one of those in each door

If I was in your shoes, I\'d upgrade the front speakers to a good quality component set and buy a small sub for the bass. Run them off a 4ch amp with 2ch\'s bridged for the sub.

[Andy_Mac]

i had been considering this one as it won\'t take up as much space as a cube but haven\'t found any amps that say they do 1 ohm

^This is a good idea

I would definatly spend some time on putting something decent into the front doors.(when you go to a concert most of the noise is coming from infront or beside you, not from the back)

I definatly wouldnt go with just 1 6x9. (what your really looking for is a good balance, having 1 would co*k that balance up)

You definatly want some bass from somewhere, a 10 or a 12inch sub wont take up too much room in the back.

Get a 4 channel amp, and as mentioned bridge 2 for the sub.(there are some rather good 4 chnls for really good prices, have a look around before you buy).

Or just get a smaller sub, like a Digital Designs 8", or even a 6.5". I have a 6.5" and it\'s a very solid little sub, and the box is like, less then 1 cubic foot in volume.

[Stoffa]

+1 DD\'s are awesome, I\'m running a 10 and it cranks

[Andy_Mac]

narrowed it down to this setup which i think wwill get the job done.

DD 8" sub

Infinity components

and a amp capable of atleast 90w per channel. Narrowed it down to these two as a haven\'t found many others that\'ll do round the 90w mark

just can\'t decide whether the JBL is worth the $100 extra

[Scoobydoo]

I\'m sure if you say you\'re buying a bunch of stuff from Online Car Audio (Or Abtec as they are also known), if you say you\'re tossing up an amp, they will give you a deal on it to match that one, or give you options to match what you are buying.

Their trademe listings (same as their website prices I think though)

They do have a set of ex-demo JBL components which will save you a bit of $

[Andy_Mac]

Anyone had any dealings with parallelimported.co.nz they have the same jbl amp abtec has for 359 rather than 500. Just not so sure of the legitimacy of parallel imported stuff

Do you absolutely have to buy new? Second hand is WAY better value.

p.s. If there\'s a Jaycar near you, their amps are f*cking awesome. Same boards as a lot of very big name amplifiers.
