Now i have decided to got for 6.5" spk for all doors instead 5.25 as my car can take it.Rest setup is same with knu wires.

I think i asked u guys to have a look at my setup and guide me about good SQ but topic changed to wires.

Anyway plz guide me about achieving good SQ with $800-900.

Well, you know you can buy great sounding equipment, but to end up with a great sounding car you will have to do that via tuning, and unfortunately that will come with experience.

I think for now you are doing well in opting for a component set for the front. If SQ is your goal, I'd scrap the rear speakers & maybe put that towards an EQ as well... The EQ will help get the response from your speakers balanced, since the reflection in the car will have an ill effect on it. If you RTA the car, don't assume a flat curve will sound good... it never ususally does.

Attend local shows, or visits local stores... find you a referrence in sound you want to achieve.

Were do you plan on spending your money? If at local shops, you will have to preview them, and then let use know what subs you have picked out then we could head you in the right direction from there. If ebay is okay, I'd look into some Type-R's, Kicker CompVR's great subs, and you can find them pretty cheap. You could also look into something from Image Dynamics. I like the Arc Audio series subs, my sister runs them, and sound great.

You can find some Infinity Kappa perfects too, which are SQ subs. Re Audio is having a group buy on their subs, and you could pick up something from them for real cheap.

^^ I believe he is looking for a complete system, not just subs.

If you were to do away with your rear speakers, i would spend the money on a decent component set for the front. I believe there is a breakdown in the good bad and ugly thread in the FAQ section to lead you in the right direction of what is good.

For sub, I would look into either Image Dynamics or RE like high society mentioned.

If you wanted, you could also use a 4 channel amp, use 2 of the channels to power your fronts, and bridge the rear channel to power your sub, to help keep your total cost down.

All depends on what you want and have to have.

Do you want 8,10,12,15? One or two subs?

Your only goal is SQ?

Amp the fronts and run a sub?

You could get a GOOD ARC setup in your price range. Set of ARC KAr comps, a 400.4 Kar Amp and a single 12" ARC series sub. THat would get loud, maintain SQ and be within your budget. The key thing here is its all GOOD stuff... Also all the same manufacturer!

Justin might be able to give you prices on said equipment...

Thanx guys.........

I think i have not been able to put forward my question to u guys so far.I am sorry for that.Anyway i am writing it all over again..............

I am from India and own a hyundai getz,a a hatchback [launched in EU and India ] which is 13400cc and 3810 mm long and almost 1600mm wide.

Now i have few relative in USA and one of them is coming to India this Jan.In india i can get JBL,Infinty pk,alpine Hu but at a premium.

So i decided to get it from USA so i could get better system with less money.System which i can get in USA for $800 will cost me $1100-1300 in India.

My inidtial budget was $500-600 but now it has increased to 800-900 bcoz of addition of subw and 5-ch amp instaed of 4-ch one.

So plz recommend me only that stuff which i can afford.[ie.value for money]

As prices in stores r more in USA than websites,i will by from websites mainly onlinecarstereo,crutchfield [expensive] and hookedontronics.

Here is what i decided....
1.Alpine 9847 HU with EU tuner settings $179 from onlinecarstereo
2.Infinty 6010 components for front for $149 from onlinecarstereo
3.infinty 6012 coax for rear for $75 from onlinecarstereo
4.Alpine 450 5-ch amplifier for $286 from hookedontronics [inclu shipping]
5.Infinty 1040 2xsubw for $96 from crutchfield with buy 2 get 1 free scheme
I plan to sell one subw here in India for >$100 just to recover some money and 2 subw will be too much for me as i am a doc.
6.Wiring from knukonceptz as suggested buy u guys
7.Dynamat xtreme $55 from online.....

Now budget has gone to >900 butit will be around $800 after selling one subw.Now plz advice me what all best i can buy with $800-900.

--can i do away with dynamat xtreme
--If i dont buy rear spk,dont u think rear passenger will not be able to enjoy much as in India cars r mainly used by whole family unlike u guys..
--Whatever u guys give me advice,plz refer me the relative link for that.
--my biggest problem is i cant listen to what i want to buy.so just have to trust u guys......

THANX IN ADVANCE...........

I dont think its to bad of a setup. I would put the absolute best you can up front though.
