New member Username: SsssnakePost Number: 4 Registered: Jun-06 | Please give me some advice. This is the system I am considering putting in my car. How would you think a system such as this one would work together? Is everything here compatible? What mistakes am I making here? Alpine CDA 9857 Head unit with iPod cable http://www.alpine-usa.com/en/products/product.php?model=CDA-9857 Alpine 4 channel 150w amp model PDX4.150 this would run the mids and the tweeters in a bi-amp configuration http://www.alpine-usa.com/en/products/product.php?model=PDX-4.150 Alpine 2 channel 150w amp model PDX2.150 This would run the two rear fill speakers. http://www.alpine-usa.com/en/products/product.php?model=PDX-2.150 Alpine 1000w mono amp, model PDX1.1000 This would run the sub. http://www.alpine-usa.com/en/products/product.php?model=PDX-1.1000 Component speakers: Polk Audio SR6500 6.5 inch (also considering Critical Mass 6.5 inch C652 components) http://www.polkaudio.com/caraudio/specs/sr6500 http://criticalmassaudio.com/catalog/index.php?act=viewProd&productId=8 Rear fill speakers: Critical Mass RS3.5 3.5 inch coaxials http://criticalmassaudio.com/catalog/index.php?act=viewProd&productId=9 Subwoofer: Critical Mass LS102 10 inch subwoofer (Mounted in a box in the center console between the passenger and driver. A trunk mounted sub is not possible in this car.) http://criticalmassaudio.com/catalog/index.php?act=viewProd&productId=2 The car is a 2 seat convertible. |

They're usually just the mid level speaker. I haven't personally experienced Critical Mass speakers so I can't say much about them though...they seem to be pricey due to their neodynium magnet design. If you're willing to put the effort into it (the install can be a beast) you're easily in the price range of a good set of CDT component speakers. You might even consider Focals or Dynaudio. Only other thing I can think of is rear fill: I don't like it. You might not want it either. It's subjective. The way I see it (and hear it haha) is when you're at a performance, the sound is in front of you, no sound is actually produced from behind you... |
