yea, depends on budget too.

when it comes to bang for buck, you can't go past sony subs. mine was 60 bucks and sounds as good as my mates JBL sub.

but yea, get them to play something for you, take in your own cd.

it almost comes down to what looks coolest and has the best little lights on the head deck ahah.

I have a few bit for my new system (the head unit and 2 amps) so I still need to decide on splits and sub (1 x 12" should be enough)

Head Unit: JVC KW-AVX810 :P

Amp #1: Jaycar Response 2 x 150wrms

Amp #2: Jaycar Response 4 x 100wrms

Thinking about a pair of DLS MS6A's for the front (I'll see how the front only sounds before buying rear speakers) also I have got to sound deaden the doors and boot.

No offence but I wouldn't piss on sony gear if it was on fire. I guess for 60 bucks you can't really complain though :down:

I just finished my audio install, which I have done in stages. Stage 1 AVI splits in the front AVI mids in the parcel shelf and a Nakamichi head unit. Stage 2 a Precision Power 6 channel amplifier a mate loaned me. Stage 3 a custom sub enclosure from Loftyfang here on the forums and a 12" Peerless automotive sub.

Gave one of my workmates a listen today and he asked me where the sub was, and when I said it was in the boot like usual he said "bullshit it sounds like the bass is coming from the front". I guess it images well :(

I admit I do have a very critical ear for sound though. And if I can give any sensible advice to nizmo or anyone looking to buy sound gear for that matter, it's this:

Take the TIME to educate yourself. Listen to, compare, contrast and enjoy the sound boards in a number of shops. Soon enough, something will pop out at you as the right choice. The first time I went through this process it was a set of Boston Acoustics Rallye splits, and once I noticed how good they were I noticed how shit the Sony/Kenwood/Pioneer/etc brands were. The unfortunate aspect is that once you educate yourself, only the best will do and that costs $$. But your ears will thank you :)

    • So next year I am looking at upgrading from my VE SS bomadore ute to something more refined.  I wanted to stick with a V8 but not anything German or Australian, either a coupe or a sedan. So if I wanted anything newish that limited my options to either the Lexus RCF which I quite like. But with the price they demand and a kid on the way a 2 door coupe is probably not going to be the best idea. The next best thing would be the ISF but the newest models are 2014 and commanding over 60k and even the older 2008 models in ok condition starting around 35k is kind of bullshit. So I figured if I could not have the noise I could perhaps make do with easy power. Enter the infinity Q50 or Skyline equivalent. The price difference between the 300 and 400hp models seems a bit crazy. Right now there is 300hp Q50 one on carsales from a dealer with 61km for 27k drive away. If I wanted to get a 400hp Red or 400R car the prices seem to start at 43k From my limited research it seems that the only differences are that the 400r/Red Red runs more boost and a more aggressive tune. There are are turbine speed sensors on the turbos. Has 2 pumps for the water to air intercooler. Runs an engine oil cooler. I'm guessing that the exterior trims might look a little more sporty as well. I had a lazy look for upgrades to bridge the gap on z1motorsports They have kits that upgrade the water to air heat exchanger as well as the coolant pump which should give a non Red/400r better intercooling temps than the stock Red/400r. I added an engine oil cooler with a thermostat as well to try and make things as close as possible. Obviously the ECU is going to need a tickle. Having not done much in the way of research they also sell a ECU flashing tool with pre loaded tunes that are supposed to boost the non Red/400R by 100hp which adds 1k USD to the cost. The total cost of the parts @ the current time including shipping and taxes worked out to be $4350 AUD. Personally I would rather get the car tuned on a dyno which would probably add more cost Assuming the worst that you got a workshop to install the new parts I would guess no more than 5 hours would be required in the worst case @ 5 x $150 per hour = $750 So the total cost could be around $5100 So for easy number 5k + 27K = 32k I guess that would leave some change left over to swap out the open diff and fit a LSD Any thoughts?      
    • Right, not sure why I thought it to be a lean spike. It might be fixable with modern card-style hot film MAFs which have some design features to avoid counting reversion flow but I've never tried it myself.
    • I did not realise this, I'll contribute more and earn my stripes and retry later. 
    • I'm only going to hassle you for posting links to images. It's against my policy to click links that could be some nasty payload. Sadly, you need to make 9 more posts before you can just stick the images directly in a post, unless @PranK sees this and bends the rule for you.
