gay..

rockford subs and amps.

warmer sound.

stronger more stable bass.

Not according to the car audiophiles/workshops & various awards

W6 line of JL car subwoofers are renowned for their SQ and pretty sure they have won many awards with that line of subwoofer.

This was 2-3 years ago but I'm sure the same still applies

Just sayin

I was referring to the alpine range.. Although I'm not really a fan of JL audio either..

Especially the type r splits and co ax.. Never liked them at all. I really like the original MB Quart and the now German meistro. They are fkn awesome. I don't car what any JB hifi sales assistant says.

Fk especially hooked up with the Rockford 360.

Man memories of sitting In the car for hours tuning with the laptop

I dig my Type R splits. You do have to stage them properly though - not speakers you can really be facing away from. My Type S sub does alright for what it is too, anymore and my 17 year old car would rattle to pieces.

JL amps are very good value for money. They made a name for a reason!

I'm pretty sure they basically made a knock off of JBL audio lol..

And me being an OCD audio guy, I can't stand the poor projection of the alpine range especially the harshness of them.. I can understand the value for money thing, but poor sound actually gives me a headache. You can blame mark for making me notice thing I probably would never have noticed before lol

I don't think Alpine count as value for money, except for maybe Type S stuff. They are more "get what you pay for" and sit in the medium cost range. It's not high end stuff but it's no JB HiFi combo sale package either. Fortunately all my gear came with my car.

If I was doing a system again in a decent car I'd hit up Boston/Rockford/Focal. Do it once do it properly!

Yeh that aswell, but why would you spend money on good support for shit speakers?

Being in audio you figure out how to make everything sound it's best. Whatever the position or setup be, or limited to..

Plus the better the speaker in most cases the less you have to worry about volume measured boxes or ported.. Or even the position they're in.

6x9 should never have been invented. Waste of time and money. The ones in my car annoyed me so much that I unplugged them lol

But focal/Rockford/German meistro.. All these you really don't have to worry about the position as they project substantially better than alpine shit.

My opinion anyway everyone likes different tunes, I prefer the warmer sound, where some actually like the middy sort of stuff.

I believe you get a lot better sound per dollar value in spending on setup than speaker models.

Put in the research and time and your average speaker models could sound as good as your higher end models if their setup is done poorly.

I've recently built a decware deathbox II enclosure. Haven't tested it yet though. However it's all wired up.

Anyone have a 1ohm stable amp for me to test?

I have a feeling mine might be 1ohm stable....

Will need to check, I used to be into car audio a few years go but not anymore. I can't even remember the model of the amp :/

At the moment its 1200wrms @ 2ohm for my sub

    • Welcome back to the scene! Godzilla Motorsports were well regarded back in the day.  My GT-R had work done there prior to my ownership.   SRS (Street Race Solutions) in Toowoomba worth a look.  They've built some pretty wild Skylines. Their YouTube channel is comedic to watch!  I'm sure they're all on the glass BBQ but they get shit done! 🤣
    • Hard to say what the extra connector is, it looks a bit like a coax type connector, so possibly a separate radio/GPS antenna, or even another camera input?  The V37 series (including the Q50), did go through a model refresh in 2020, since Australia didn't get any Q50s newer than 2019, we didn't get any of the refreshed models, so there could also be other unexpected problems to overcome to swap an older Q50 head unit into a new model V37. There probably aren't too many people around that have made these sorts of changes to a Q50/V37, so you might end up being the first if you do decide to go ahead. ACP is Apple Car Play and AA is Android Auto, they are roughly the same thing for the 2 major phone operating systems (Apple's iOS and Android), it allows you to connect your phone and access a number of your phone applications on your car system.  With Nav apps included, so you could use google maps/Waze or whatever your favourite navigation app is, instead of using the built in navi system.  I think this would be a better solution if it is only Navigation that you are looking as swapping the head unit for. GPS signals are the same around the globe as the GPS satellites continuously circle the globe, but it is the head unit that doesn't allow you to load Australian maps, or at least no-one had made an Australian map that will load up on the JDM head unit. Regarding the TV standards, I assume you are referring to the AV inputs?  I haven't ever tried to use them, Japan used a slightly modified version of the US NTSC system, and Australia uses PAL for composite video, that said, I wouldn't be surprised if a video input could work with either system.  That is mostly irrelevant here though, unless you plan to use those inputs for something?
    • If you've got bucket loads of $. Go single. If not, just upgrade the twins, Garrett -9's or whatever the current equivalent is for a healthy 350awkw and leave it at that. Will probably still cost you 10k to do in this day and age.
