Fronts

Post by Darthness »

Okay, so i think i need to get some new front speakers... I'm looking for coaxils because i don'to really want to run an amp on my car's stock electrical system. Something tells me that the alternator i got last year was probably lower then stock amp rating.

But anyway, if i want to show off a little (not that i do it much.. if some asks you to crank it up, you're kind of obliged :) i crank my volume up to about 30-35, and at that point the fronts start to sound crap and you can't really hear them too well.. (simple solution.. don't turn it up like that... right?).. but I want something thats going to get a little louder.

any suggestions would be appreciated. As soon as i work the details out, i'm going to be building a ported enclosure for my 13w1 if i have the mdf left. Its time to start saving up to upgrade my alternator, wiriing, and maybe battery :D ... I think its finally broken in, that little thing was "quakin" pretty good last night...

Well, you're answer is really to get an amp. It takes power to get loud and clear. An Alpine V-Drive HU might help, but an amp would be better.

hrm. guess its time for an electrical system upgrade..


[stuff] happened today, i was at my dads work, and the car was being a PITA to start back up. When i got home and back in the area i live, everything works like cake. i could probably drive around with all my electrical [stuff] on at once and there wouldn't be a problem.

:( .

Oh, and test tones fricken rock. Not sure on the freq, but i was playing some tones off EMNB and with my volume at 10 that [stuff] was hurtin.

whatever coax you put in your doors it really wouldnt take a lot of power to make a big difference if your running off the hu now.
