Suggestion for new system

Post by NViejeP »

I'm eventually looking to ugprade my entire car system. Either each piece by each piece or all at once. Either way it'll nbe awhile.

I need advice deciding waht to do.

heres some of my choices

1) Buy an 4 channel amplifer, power my front components to the amplifer and use the last 2 channels to power a sub. Power the rear door speakers to the head unit.

2) Power all 4 speakers to the head unit, buy an amplifer to power the subwoofer or get a Infintiy Basslink.

3) Power all 4 speakers to an amplifer, buy a infinity basslink self-powered subwoofer.

I like to listen from every genre of music. Lots of hip hop and rock though. I like to crank up the volume loud.

In addition, Should I buy an infinity basslink or an amplifer + subwoofer?

Should I bother with replacing my rear door speakers, if I turn up my volume real loud, will the rear door speakers crack and sound like crap?

What would you guys do? Oh and I also have a pretty small budget. Right now I have like $75 to spend, probably just going to save up though. My budget probably will be like $500 total with everything installed because I cna't install it myself. Should I just buy stuff little by little as I can afford it? Is my budget too little?

Thanks

I like number 1 the best, minus the rear speakers. I would drop them completly. Unless your set on running rear speakers, then I would run them off the deck like you said.

I would definatly replace the front speakers. A nice set of components is the way to go, and will yeild the best results.

The back speakers I wouldn't worry about (like I said before) but if your set on it 6.5s would be the way to go.

Budget wise 500 is a little low installed. It can be done, but 750 would be better. Honestly I would save up, and start checking out your locale shops and see what you like (what sounds good). The more time you spend planing the system, the better your results in the end.
