Bronze Member Username: Bigbass24Post Number: 32 Registered: Mar-07 | Ok I'm so new to this, so I may be asking questions that are stupid. Then again they do say the only stupid question is one not asked. I'm currently in the process of upgrading my factory system. I love the bump in the trunk and wanted a little for myself. I wouldn't consider myself an audiophile. I have 2 12cvr2 in a ported box and a zx750.1. I'm now deciding on my speakers for the mids and highs. Sound quality is important and I want it loud. Maybe Focals, or Infinty Kappas, or anything that sounds great. (Diamond if the price is right) My budget is important, so don't want to spend more than 200 on the component set for the front. (Same goes for rear fill) I have absolutely no clue what amp to get. My biggest dilemna however is accessories. I;m not sure if they are a neccessity in order for the system and car. (alternators,capacitors,fuses,equalizer,capacitor,batteries) Any suggestions with substance from people who know what they're talking about and an explanation is appreciated. |

Post Number: 1723 Registered: Jul-06 | If you're running subwoofers the rear fill will be drown out from the bass and pretty much make rear speakers useless in most applications,unless it's a vehicle with a very large cabin I wouldn't even bother changing the stock rear speakers,just tune them with an EQ if you decide to keep them.I don't think you'll need an alternator upgrade but what kind of vehicle are you installing this in?Most systems running under 1,000 watts RMS don't need an alternator upgrade but let us know the vehicle and we can help you a little more. |

Silver Member Username: OlegSanta Monica, CA USA Post Number: 750 Registered: Nov-04 | She is knew, just well read. Rob seconded me on the rear fill part...the rainbows you found should be perfect for you. |
Bronze Member Username: Bigbass24Post Number: 35 Registered: Mar-07 | Hey Oleg....what amp should I get then....2 or 4 channel...Ihave to get an equalizer?....or maybe a head unit with one built in? ;) |

Platinum Member Username: GlasswolfWisteria, Lane USA Post Number: 11797 Registered: Dec-03 | forget rear fill unless you want passengers in the back to have full range sound. otherwise rear fill just destroys your imaging for the front speakers. get a good set of two-way separates for the front, and use kick pods to house them. amplify them with a decent two channel amp.. about 50-75 watts per channel. don't worry too much about the charging system unless you experience voltage drops while using the system. |
Bronze Member Username: Bigbass24Post Number: 39 Registered: Mar-07 | two way seperates????...thought a compnent system would be better |

Bronze Member Username: Bigbass24Post Number: 40 Registered: Mar-07 | see told ya'll I was new |
Silver Member Username: OlegSanta Monica, CA USA Post Number: 752 Registered: Nov-04 | Glass, she was thinking about getting these... http://premier-audio.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=71 like them over focals? |
Gold Member Username: Th3pwn3rPost Number:... Post Number: 1727 Registered: Jul-06 | I would personally go with a component set.I'd also google and find out what people are running in the SQ comps and run what band wagons do |
Silver Member Username: OlegSanta Monica, CA USA Post Number: 753 Registered: Nov-04 | For the amp, Latishia, you can get kicker zx350.2 or zx250.2 - both are very nicely priced. |
Platinum Member Username: GlasswolfWisteria, Lane USA Post Number: 11800 Registered: Dec-03 | SQ competitors run customized setups. hard to pick components for someone else.. it's very subjective to what they like in timbre and tone |
Gold Member Username: CarguyPost Number: 6052 Registered: Nov-04 | You do know that there is no such thing as "almost new" right? It's either new or not new. If you want good quality amp at a low price, try PPI PC or PCX series. You can pick one up on eBay for under $200. I doubt you'll find anything better nowdays for your money. What does tbell stand for? You into "Saved by the Bell" show? |
Silver Member Username: Trey4sportsPost Number: 894 Registered: Sep-06 | ^^ nice idea rob |

Gold Member Username: James1115Use a simple... Post Number: 9961 Registered: Dec-04 | when it comes to components like Glass said it all depends on what your ears like. I may love focal while you despise them. Go to your local audio store and ask them to listen to a few pairs. If possible ask the installers and shop guys if they have them running in their own personal cars so you can hear them in a real life situation and not on a sound board. |

Silver Member Username: OlegSanta Monica, CA USA Post Number: 754 Registered: Nov-04 | I have insider tips on this... T is probably her nick name as her name has a T in it and Bell is sure as h*ll her last name. |
Gold Member Username: Extrmndor3IF U HEAR ME... crazydbs.com Post Number: 4348 Registered: Feb-06 | look tbell first u have to come to my place well take alil cruise around the neighborhood and then ill know wat u like and ill tell you the right components for you |
Gold Member Username: James1115Use a simple... Post Number: 9966 Registered: Dec-04 | Latishia |
Silver Member Username: OlegSanta Monica, CA USA Post Number: 755 Registered: Nov-04 | From the last 15 posts, Latishia, you can see that you need a precision power (PPI) amp lol You may not be able to listen to rainbows locally, so try to listen to as many other sets of speakers as possible. At the end, I doubt you can go wrong with rainbows from what I've read. |
Silver Member Username: OlegSanta Monica, CA USA Post Number: 756 Registered: Nov-04 | Tbell, from last 15 posts, only thing that's of use is to listen to as many component sets as possible and to get a precision power(PPI) amp. At the end though, I doubt you can go wrong with rainbows from what I've read. |

Bronze Member Username: Moey_gSydneyAustralia Post Number: 87 Registered: Oct-06 | ^ I was thinking the same thing lol. Next time i have a question, im gona pretend im a girl... hehehe |
Platinum Member Username: GlasswolfWisteria, Lane USA Post Number: 11805 Registered: Dec-03 | you guys are sad. you do realize "tbell" is probably just a guy using a girl's nick to get attention. way to play into that foolishness. in any event, PPI makes good amplifiers. I'd skip Rainbow if you're in the US. They've had a wealth of problems keeping an importer/authorized dealer company here. If you want the same quality, go to madisound.com and look at the SEAS Lotus components. same thing, different name. |
Silver Member Username: Mike11202Sewell, NJ US Post Number: 161 Registered: Nov-06 | Yeah Wolf i posted that last night that it was a guy sayin it was a girl just to get all ur attention and of course it doesnt go through it sounds like a guy to me.. its pretty obvious dude |
Gold Member Username: Th3pwn3rPost Number:... Post Number: 1729 Registered: Jul-06 | ^I posted the same thing GW but it was in another thread.Hey Tbell next time you make a thread please leave out the part about being a female.Women claim they want to be equal as man but yet you point out that you're a female in your thread names.For you guys asking her for pics...you need to get out more. |
Gold Member Username: Safe_crackerChicago, IL US Post Number: 2593 Registered: Jan-06 | What is someone looking for a girly box? I have one for you, quality sh!t... PS- Add a Kicker or Orion @ 2500rms and it will be bangin! |
Silver Member Username: OlegSanta Monica, CA USA Post Number: 764 Registered: Nov-04 | I think you guys are odd. I don't think there's lack of help for dudes out here. If anything, she should not mention that she's a girl just to avoid being asked for pics and then have a controversy as to whether she's really a girl. She's emailed me a few times and I can say she's a girl. This thread's turning into some BS real fast. Tbell, go to that site Glass suggested though. |
