Help With First System

JASON96R · Post by **JASON96R** » Sat Dec 10, 2005 1:18 pm

Would like some help with my first system in a 96 Grand Cherokee. I would primarily would like a SQ, and I mainly listen to rock. I don't have a definite budget as of yet, but I like to do things right the first time. So far this is what I have come up with.

Headunit: JVC EXAD Arsenal KD-AR5500
Components: Arc Audio ACS265
Rear Fill: Aftermarket, stock, nothing your help please. (I don't have pass. in the back all the time but whenever my friends and I go out it is usually with my car)
Amp: Elevation Audio XS125.4 - 4 Channel Amplifier (Would like 1 amp for front and sub is this a good amp?
Subwoofer: Sound Splinter RLi10 (Could end being a 12, I would like a custom enclosure right behind the wheel well, like this but custom made: http://www.crutchfield.com/S-HskbryrOyr ... =044CJGC01

Let me know what everyone thinks, and do you think I will need a equalizer.

For the rear fill, if you plan on using the 4 channel amp, I wouldn't wire the stock speakers to the amp. I personally would just find some cheaper coaxials to replace the stock and really use them for when you have passengers.
--or--
instead of a 4 channel amp, just get a two channel and power the stock rears on the head unit.

You never really, say, need and equalizer. If you cannot get your system to sound exactly how you want it, that is, after you've upgraded to your liking, then you will want to consider an EQ.

the xs125.4 for roughly 400 is a heck of a nice amp......itll do 125 per channel to your fronts and 500 to the sub......

So, have I picked some good audio components for what I would like to do? Also, I have heard good things about CDT. How would the CDT HD-62 stack up against ARC ACS265? Thanks for the help guys keep the comments comming.

I remember one day a V6 Mustang had the wing, unpainted ground effects, and coffee can pulled up next to me and started reving. It happened for like 3 consecutive stoplights, and I got fed up. Usually, I will not race like that, but I felt the kid (probably same age as me) had to be taught a lesson. I rev and let him know to go, light turns green I gun it and leave him like he is standing still. I remember being surprised I beat him so badly in my Grand Cherokee.

CDT is some good stuff. I had a set of Cambria (CDT) brxials. THey had high reviews and I found out why... wow...

CDT is a good company, you wont be dissapointed.

Actually, it was in Clyde, but I think he is from Fremont.
