Alex,

Another one for Chris Rogers of Audio Express.

He is a SAu Qld Club sponsor and as such you are automatically entitled to a discount. He has worked on many types of cars from skylines through to top end porsches. He would put together a sound system for you, based on your budget/requirements.

Very highly recommended.

Cheers,

Karen

Apline and eclipse ftw. x-type splits, and eclipse head deck. x-type subwoofer....10" sealed box...and soundproofing.

*sniff sniff sniff* i smell some one who was suckered @ Northfield.

for the money on those.. ESPECIALLY the x-type splits.. you can get something much better and cheaper.

wow this thread is so full of misguided bullshit

I do not know everything but if your only going to spend 1000 and neeeed to have a sub(s) i would suggest

Alpine CDE-9852i - 400retail proll get it for 350ish (will hook up directly to ipod full speed)

Jaycar front splits - 150

Jaycar 4x100 amp - 300

Alpine Type S 12 - 180 in box @ Goldcoast (try push them to 150)

You will need to spend a little more on wiring but 80 bucks should cover it

Get a mate to help you do the install and bobs your uncle

For 1000 your probably better off going for something like

Alpine CDA-9856i - 450

Boston S60 - 300

jaycar 2x150 - 250

dynamat door kit - 130

A good set of splits + good sound deadening with substantial power will give you more aural pleasure in my honest opinion. You would be surprised.

Anyways dude good luck with it all hope it helps

Cheers,

Dan

well i have been in the car audio game for 6 years and managed a shop for 3 years in browns plains. I know the contacts, but i tell you now DONT GO TO GOLD COAST CAR SOUND, they dont have a clue, and will rip you off. I have a 34 too and know tricks of the trade to help ya. And if you want just above cost price on all northfeild products, i know the owner of northfield very well and i take all my customers there, but if you get an install done dont get shane to do it k.... let me know cause its who you know not how much you have to spend and im always up for helping 34's. And theres better things than alpine.... but i think you should get the install done by old mate the sponsor to do it.

well JVC are doing verywell with giga dvd players to fit more music on a DVD other than a CD-R and AV is doing realy well they have 5v preouts for really good sound and 7 band parametric graphic EQ for sound controll for subs 2 x type R 12"(swr1242d) and a mono block many to pick from but will need 1000rms @ 2ohm

At the end of the day, you pay for what you get. Best advice, shop around, do a bit of research, and when ready to purchase, always ask how much for cash. The price usually comes down. Maybe not by much but if you are on a budget every little bit helps. I recommend Complete Car Sound. They are at Pickering St. Enogerra. Ask for Scotty. He will be sure to help you out the best he can.

Mr Benno is selling his $14k setup for a fraction of the cost. Try giving him a PM.

Sorry if this has already been suggested but I don't care to read the previous posts....moving on.

hey dan, unless hes selling it all for $800-$1000 i don't think this guy's going to care...he appears to be on a very very strict budget.

Its not that im on a strict budget its just that i dont want to pay alot for a sound system, i dont see whats so confusing about that on this forum, ppl hear are way to serious and into cars no one is young anymore and remberes just getting a system that was loud enough so you can wake up all your neighbours at 3 am, i mean is that too much to ask for. :)

You should consider doing the stereo in stages when money allows as then you wont have to skimp on quality

I hope that wasnt directed at me..

Just because one company says its good ( northfield//alpine) doesnt mean its the be all and end all.

I also listed a few brands that i have seen//tested//installed and found to be high performance... ( for the medium - high price range)

Also the jaycar stuff is cheap yes.. and ive seen it do suprising things.. but it wont push the envelope for power..

Now sound deadening is good yes... but most ( back me up here hotr34) skylines and imports have some form of deadinging in there anyway.. so why waste 150 bucks a door on something he doesnt need?

( as stated a few posts up) you pay for what you get... and id rather cripple myself for a little while and get decent gear thats not going to overheat//blow in the not so distant future when they try to impress the "bros" and crank it up.

I got a moderate quality soundsystem for my girly.. and i think it cost here around 1200 ( inc install)

Put most of the bucks into the deck (JVC -KDSHX855) and the splits.. and just got some JL 10's for the fill.

THis will just go back and fowarded on trying to show who has the biggest e-peen.. So instead ill say what not to touch.

Dont Touch

--------------

Sony ( anything)

No name brands ( like polka audio etc)

thats about it.. Also take a look at the companies and see what they specialise in.. theres a high chance they know what they are doing..especially if they have been around a while.

Id have a chat to a few people over the phone dude.

HOTR34 is willing to share his expertiese.. call him

then call Chris too see what he says.. then make the decision yourself

n.b I may need some advice too soon.. ripped out my deck from my old car and need to speak about installs and gear for the r33. :D
