What do you guys reccomend getting?

as in sound systems because im looking forward to buy one for my R34..

Cheers

[Chris Rogers]

its personal choice

you will get a lot of mixed opinions on this - go to a few stores and play. if you want clarion gear fire me a PM

[burkill]

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.

[-FIGJAM-]

i like kenwoods gear never had problems with them! My Clarion head deck goes well too. but its ur choice, not ours go and listen to the product.

[CHO50N]

Give you an idea of whats going into my R34, should sound alright

Clarion Double Din DVD unit

2 sets of Boston SL60's (front and rear splits)

1 MTX 7500 sub

1 x 4 channel MTX amp

1 x Mono MTX amp.

System should be loud and clear, well i hope so.

Will also be sound deadening front doors, rear quarters and bootlid.

[cavell]

pop into stylyn car audio

2 stores one in boronia one in bentleigh

883 nepean hwy bentleigh

268 dorset rd boronia

we have high end quality gear and can do a deal mention me

[Chris Rogers]

so which do you work for?

[Excess]

5g is consider a good budget, id go for polk, boston, JL, focal. best is to hear them urself

head unit alpine has pretty good design, kenwood and pioneers arent bad.

P.S. if i were u id save up some money for sound dending.

[Ry34]

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

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.

[dangerous_daveo]

Hmm $5k.

Image Dynamics IDQ sub

Dyn Audio Fronts

Don't need anything in the rear.

Amp, get something to suit. I've got an alpine, but thats partly because of space issues.

Deck, alpine 9887.

Heaps of other options tho.

AND DON'T FORGET THE SOUND DEADENING!!!

[Sloupos]

$5k is plenty, i just bought

Alpine Type R Splits

Alpine Type R 6"

a Apline PDX amp

Apline W502E Dvd Screen (+ blutooth kit)

and 2 Kicker Subs and a Kicker amp

and a Cap

for around $3000(inlc a little dynamat)

5K is good if u plan on installing it all urself...

i got a price on custom Fiberglass boxes ...$750 EACH! ( i thought that was way too much)

keep us posted how u go, all the best

[cavell]

so which do you work for?

Bentleigh Store been there just over a year

[Kinks]

when it comes to bang for buck, you can't go past sony subs.

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

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

I have K2P splits in the front too and always get comments about how clear they are. I love em.
