Core666 Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 wats up SAU? I am recently a new R33 owner and looking to put in some wicked audio, because it still has the factory audio deck and speakers in the car. Not great quality. Any ideas of what people have implemented themselves or recommend? In my first car, i was bangin (im not gonna bother putting in the spec numbers) pioneer head unit, front splits, rounds at the back. Was wicked audio but didnt get alot of power cause was runnin through the head unit. Am looking for pioneer head unit (mates car has a pioneer one that flips out with the dvd screen- pretty pimped but fair pricey), speakers wise is up for recommendation. pioneer, kenwoods, focals? And a sub and an amp system that will run well with the power i will need, but wont break the budget. I dont mind spending more on speakers, but am just looking to get away with the basic amp and sub wise. I listen to alot of metal/hardcore/gangster rap etc. So I need something that can take and make sound good with very low bass and heavy shit, but also rock treble frequencies that are clear enough over the low bass so they aint drowned out. Any help or any ideas other people have down would be appreciated. If anyone entering into autosalon and has wicked shit done id be looking to check out ur car thanks bryan Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/230512-bangin-audio-system/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

FATAZZ Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 I bought it from strathfield car radios back in like 2002 rough prices were Head unit = $350 kenwood 7x10's = $140-$180 (blue cone) and blue cone 4" kenwood fronts about $40 amp was from the bloke who i payed to install it for me was a Magnavox 1000watt. was $249 so all up $819 + install 6yrs ago. Don't diss that paricular amp either just cause its a cheapO brand. The thing stood up very well and when compared to a mates who spent big dollers.It has all the same Linear + mosfet crap inside.

KezR33 Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 Get an Alpine Type-R sub and Alpine MRP-M500 Amp. Cost you around... $500 all up and comes in a nice ported box. I bought one recently and it's nuts. Really good sound quality, and can rattle the cars sitting at the lights around you, if that's your thing. Tough as too. I'd rather invest more in the sub and amp that will last and just get decent splits and head unit. Simply because you can drag a good sub around with you from car to car. Speakers just get annoying. Another option is to buy the second hand Type-X sub and amp from the guy selling them in the private parts forum. If I hadn't already bought mine I'd snap them up, they're near unbreakable, so you don't have to worry about them not being new. I'd love to hear a pair of those puppies at full tilt, each being 1000RMS. http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=O-SmGzbQof0 Check that out for a sub.
