Audio Setup.

[Nee-san]

Ok Guys,

I've set aside $750 to outfit my GT-R as it currently doesn't have a system.

Would like a Sub and four speakers to fit completely within the factory apertures plus all the other odds and ends you usually need.

Currently Have a clarion amp and a headunit so they are not included in the pricing, nor is labor.

Who can spec up a decent system for that ?

i guess the answer to this could vary extremely from person to person. i run 6" R type alpine splits in the front off a good amp and i love em. in the rear i run 6 speakers now but i used to run a pair of good 4 1/2" splits and was good. i like top end quality in the front and mid range is adequate in the rear. is your current amp 2 or 4 channel? i tried 3 different type of lanzar subs and some soundstream subs before switching to my current R type subs. none of the subs lasted for a few different reasons but the current subs are indestructible and pack a punch.

a good box is a good investment and can make an average sub 100% better.

i dont really know costs as i havent had to buy anything 4 a while but think the R type splits are around 250-280. which would leave 500 to cover sub/box and an amp(2or 4 channel depending on what you already have) i know my local cash convertors never has less than 20 different amps and half dozen subs and i think hey have warranty if you wanted to go down that path.but they might only give warranty if you paid someone to fit it...

you could do it low cost, but keep saving to get something decent and a good install.

if you just want cheap and nasty then 750 will buy that with change left over

My car has not alot of sound deadening in it and it is very loud so I'm not sure uber good stuff will make a difference, I thought 750 for 4 speakers and a Sub was ok, should I spend more ?

Does it depend on what I listen to ?

[Carbon 34]

I'm not talking uber stuff, just decent tunes

the louder your car the less you can hear the music. the more power it takes from the amp, which fries cheap speakers. or destroys your ears with distortion. and makes you sterile ? ok maybe not sterile but close

a decent cheap amp, and sub with generic box, 300-400 at least

two pairs of decent speakers. 200

cables- 50-100

install ????

misc parts?

do you see where Im going ?? . save a few hundred more then go shopping you will be much happier in the long run.

there is cheap,and then there is shite. go with cheap not shite.

you wouldn't want shite in a GTR. it smells ??? lol

[t_revz]

what speakers are you thinking of for 200 troy out of curiosity? thought even decent 2-ways would be a lot more than that. need some half decent cheapies for camp trailer

I went for Fusion splits for fronts and 6 x 9 for rears.

Great power handling, and accuracy.

I have some HD cd sources which my head unit supports, and the reproduction is brilliant.

Considering Fusion aren't really considered high end, I'd put them there.

You need to demo them with a good source and a decent amp.

What to get for your money is amazing.

Would 700 be enough to outfit a 31 with 2 speakers in the doors and a sub and amp as well as head unit and deadening?

shhot me an email. I can proably work somthing up for *around* that.

[Nee-san]

I might shoot you an email as-well at some point Chris if that is OK,

Working on the rest of the interior at the moment.

chris beat me to it, but maybe a setup of splits from Blaupunkt from chris ? , they had some in the 99 buck range that rated well in INCAR Entertainment mag last year I think

every major company has speakers etc that can fit the price point of 100 a pair, that will be 1000% better then factory

between 750-1k you should be able to get something to make you happy, and don't forget to ask for a better price from anyone you buy from. or a trader in SAU.?

I can recommend Chris , we have the same high demands for quality installs...lol

[kane84]

i cant beleave someone said fusion lol lol, no dont buy them....ok kicker, alpine, infinity, eclipse, focal, maybe pioneer....750 would get good splits in front off amp and sub back.....if i was u and its a 2 door spend more money on ur front speakers where it matters

[Nee-san]

Yeah so you guys reckon go something properly decent in the front and some ok stuff in the back plus a decent sub and a box.

and yeah I'm going to chris when the time comes !

[kane84]

yep alpine 12 type s and alpine amp u can get for about $350
