Hey i gota 32 with this oldschool philips stereo in it

post-31501-1193445205_thumb.jpg

its not that bad but it's skips a bit over some bumps and i want something that go's a bit better with all the glossy black interior around it and maybe make a lil better sound

i was thinking of getting the sony mexbt2500 i seen for $ 270 its not glossy black(are there any glossy black stereo's these days?) but atleast its closer than my current 1 and i like the blue buttons over red.

also i was going to get either a new phone with a decent amount of space for music on it or a bigger mp3 player(just got a crappy 500mb now) to play my beats off.

do phone's run out of batterys fast when you playing ur music through the bluetooth in your car? and is it all the same quality playing off a phone or mp3?

its not a bad unit. works well for BT music- make sure you plug your phone into the charger as it will die after a full day of use. MP3 off disc would be better IMO

check out my sig for stereo gear. look in CD/MP3 plyers. maybe something of interest there :P

I have 2 Pioneer subs (TS-W257D2). They are 10" 1000w max. nominal power is 350w, impedance is 1ohm or 4 ohms. They are 16.2cm in depth.

I am thinking of installing one or both of these subs in the 34. What sort of amp should be good for just one, or both of these.

Thanks in advance.

G'day there.

If you can afford it, I'd recommend Alpine for your sub amp. I've always had Alpine gear and never had a problem with anything from head unit to sub amp to splits. Quality gear if you can afford it and get it installed correctly.

Hi guys,

My friend has saved up some money for a full setup ie- Sub, speakers, amp, head unit.

He has $2,500 to spend. A little while ago i also built a system for around 2.5k, mine consisted of Hertz sub and speakers, with audison amp and clarion head unit. But was wondering if you guys thought there was a better bang for buck system or something. So what do you think he should get?

Hi guys,

My brother is having an issue with his momo polk cross overs.

When the sound system is turned up the cross overs start to give off an electrical burning smell, does anyone have any ideas to what is going on??

I will post up specs of the sound system tomorrow.

hey guys

i'm currently getting lists of parts i need to get for my car audio kit which will consist of a car computer with a double din touchscreen LCD, sound outputs from the computer going to the amp powering the speakers from there

but im currently at the stage of wondering what to get for the following

Speakers (fronts and rears)

Amps (need a mono amp and a 4ch amp as i cant bridge the outputs on the computer)

sub (was thinking 12")

will more than likely be mounting an amp under each seat with the computer in the boot with the sub and wiring it out from those points (front/rear to 4ch and sub to the mono amp) and wiring out to the speakers from the 4ch amp and back to the boot from the mono amp for the sub

i have $700-$800 to spend on speakers/amps/subs and i was looking at something around the level of alpine type-s gear to start with, but wondering if anyone had models of each piece of equipment they could recommend to me (or if there is a 5.1 amp of sorts that would be a cheaper alternative)

would i need to spend more for what i'm after in terms of gear? or re-evaluate the gear i need.

i have a very big mix of shit in my car,

I have alpine splits front and rear, all of them running off a 4 channel amp, forgot what amp, its black, and has blue light on it lol, (will update tomorrow), then i have a 12inch sub, forgot brand again and have that running off a 2channel kicker amp, then a kenwood head unit, think thats about it,

sounds pretty mad, very loud, cant turn it above 22 or i will be deff, 40 is the highest i think,

I can vouch very much so for Jaycar Amps

i just got myself a Jaycar AA0424 2x150wrms amp of ebay and im running it bridged to my Pioneer TS-W307D2 DVC sub (in series - 4 ohm total) that i got from strathfield as ex-demo (lol - the whole lot cost me $250) in a custom 36L sub box

the amp is pumping 500wrms@4ohm into the sub in bridged mode and for the sake of my kidneys and my parents the bass gain is off and the low pass filter is around 75hz (when optimum is about 200hz) to reduce the bass and even then its still kicks really really hard

ohh and running it from an LG LAC-M7600 deck - the only good thing about it is it has 4V pre-outs and only cost me $200

i should have gone for a JVC deck that would have cost me $15 more and would have had more features like aux in (which, according to the LG website, my deck is supposed to have.......)

I'm looking to replace my rear speakers, as my current (and still new) JBL 3-ways are not handling the bass the way I want them to.

Cheers guys!

What is it with people and bass lol, Honestly i have had 2 set ups in my car and i love both of them equally

Alpine CDE9886 headunit (direct ipod, usb, mp3,tuner, optional bluetooth)

Alpine Type R 6.5inch Splits front

Alpine Type R 6.5inch Coaxials

Alpine MRP F600 4 channel amp 4x100watts rms

Also using same headunit but replace speakers with Focal polyglass splits and coax's

went from focals to alpine as they were cheaper but still gave the same result and found them crystal clear and no need for a sub of any description

The alpine system cost me a total of $1000, i was able to fit it all myself and i did work for JB HI FI in car audio, its a real impressive system for the money outlayed

Hi guys

Ive been sussing out basic upgrade sound systems for my car, not too keen on spending much as i prefer home theater, anyway

just after a nice clean sound.

Ive been looking at the Sony WX-GT78UI with USB for HD, its a double din unit, also like the kicker speakers in particular im keen on the KS602 6'' split with Xover and tweeter for the front and in the back parcel shelf kicker KS6930 three way 6x9's

I am thinking of running the speakers straight from the headunit with no external amp.

I know i am not going to get the most out of my speakers or quality this way but im not after that result, as long as it sounds alot better than stock.

Im not after stupidly loud sound, i just want a good to listen to system thats clear and will last me a few years without problems.

Has anyone had experience with any of this gear? Do you think this setup will be sufficient for what im after?

What is the quality like of Sony headunits and Kicker speakers?

Thanks for any replies

    • It really depends on your setup. Mine is 'accidently' more suited to revving higher. bigger cams, turbo etc. Plus my super long first takes donkey years to come onto boost, so if it will move my power band to the right, maybe i'll pass on this. i have a G45-1500 going on there soon which I suspect might make it more of a fat pig.
    • Yeah good call, I will endeavour to tuck that down when I rewrap the looms it’s pushed up by
    • Good work. I will say, this line circled however, will potentially pool with oil, as it's going from high, to low, to high, before heading downwards.
    • Yeah, thumbsup from me. The distant shot of the bay just looks same-same as before.
    • Dad had a court case drag out with them from 1998 to 2004. He was in a not at fault accident, NRMA were the ones who covered the other person. They tried to blame his neck injuries on the fact he'd had an injury in 1981 on his extreme lower back where he slipped a single disc right near the bottom. Had been all cleared from that injury for years. This accident destroyed his shoulder, and f**ked a heap of discs in his neck, and he still has major problems with it to this day. Sarah's sister while on her L plates had a small Suzuki Alto, she had stopped to give way to an ambulance, and someone changed lanes behind her because there lane was also slowing, and rear ended her at 80km/h. (She had been stopped for a few seconds already too!). Car was completely f**kED. NRMA sent the vehicle around to 3 different workshops as they kept claiming "We believe it can be repaired, and not written off, we just need to find the correct workshop". It took 3 months, and a lot of arguing before they'd concede and wrote it and paid out. About two years later her sister had a Lancer, someone pulled out of a stop sign without stopping (in an 80 zone). Her sister swerved, hit the front of the other persons car (Instead of dead t-boning the drivers door), which ramped her Lancer, and made it roll multiple times down the road. It hit every panel on the way through. Her sister had slid her self out of the car, and remembers the ambos walking to the accident (They'd been sitting at a set of lights just down the road and witnessed it) and they were saying "Well, this ones going to be a fatality, no way you can walk away from that". Well, she did. And then NRMA sent two assessors out to look at the car, both of which wrote it off. They tried to send another assessor out, except a HUGE uproar was raised, and they FINALLY paid it out. That was on a car, that had damage to EVERY panel, you could see from 100m away the whole car was also twisted, roof bowed etc. Nah, we'll try get out of needing to payout on a $10,000 car... Her sister ended up with major shoulder reconstructive surgery being required, and was permanently limited in her ability to do her job as a nurse after that, as she can't (And was told before surgery too this would be guaranteed to happen) regain full strength in that shoulder. However, there was no choice to not have it, as she could barely use her arm, which was her dominant one, and was in near constant major pain. (And she's the type of person that would try and walk off a broken leg!) NRMA did the biggest run around on the personal injury side too for about 18 months, even to the point of trying to put 100% blame of the accident on Sarah's sister, even though the other driver admitted she didn't look, and didn't stop, and was charged by the police. Sarah used to have a Barina insured with them. It was a policy setup, paid all 12 months in advance. At the end of the 12 months, Sarah was living with me, I reviewed the renewal, it clearly stated "If you do nothing, your policy will cease on XYZ date". We did nothing, as we moved her insurance in with all of mine and I was with Shannons. We find out 10 months later, NRMA decided, because he DAD had a car insurance policy at the same address as what Sarah's mailing address was (Garaged address had been changed), that they'd put Sarah's (What should have been non existent policy) onto her Dad's month to month charges on his credit card. We had to jump through hoops, to get a refund. They didn't care that we actually found the letter that said "If you do nothing, your policy will cease" they made us prove we had NON COMPULSORY insurance else where before they'd issue the refund, and after they agreed to the refund, it still took another 6 weeks and 3 more phone calls for them to actually process it. They also had two insurance claims from storm damage, and they were an absolute cluster to get resolved as well (one vehicle, one house). Some how, up until about 3 years ago, her parents were still loyal to NRMA too, and we were like "How the hell are you so loyal to staying with them, when other places are so much cheaper, and they've f**ked you over every time you've ever had to make a claim?"
