New member Username: QualitysoundPost Number: 1 Registered: Aug-05 | I want a Front Sound Stage with a good component system. How best Can i set it up?I am planning to purchase Pioneer DEH 4700 CD/mp3 Player (22Watts X 4)for my Head Unit. 1) One of my friends tells me that JBL 606 6.5" component system (it will easily fit in my front doors)70 Watts RMS would be a good choice. What do you have to say? Link for the JBL specs. http://www.jbl.com/car/products/product_detail.aspx?prod=GTO606C&ser=GTS&cat=COS 2) Would a single component system(two 6.5" in two front doors, and tweeters on the dash) suffice, or would I need more speakers/subwoofer etc.? If I need more speakers/subwoofer which would you suggest? 3) Is the Power of the Head Unit 22Watts X 4 enough to drive the setup suggested above or would i need an amp powering it up. If i do need an amp, which would you suggest? I'm a newbie to sound and on a lil tight budget. I would like me system to give real good quality sound. I wouldn't want to shake the passerby with its power but would like enough of bass and quality for my pleasureable listening. So, Please guys help me out. |

New member Username: QualitysoundPost Number: 2 Registered: Aug-05 | Total around 500-600 Bucks. Pioneer Head Unit is coming to 150. JBL 606 components to around 135$ so I've got around 300 bucks still to play around with. |

New member Username: QualitysoundPost Number: 3 Registered: Aug-05 | Is JBL not good? Actually I come from India, and here the brands you talk of are not available - at least with the retailers of whom I've enquired. What we have availbale here is JBL, Kicker, Soundstream, Boston Acoustics, Alpine, Blaupunkt, JVC Pioneer Sony etc. So, GlassWolf, it would be nice if you can suggest from any of the brands listed above. Also, if you can give me exactly which sub/amp/separates to buy it will help me a lot - I am a total novice you see!! Btw, I read your article on futility of rear speakers on your site - was really impressive. So, which ones would you suggest? |
