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

    • Only needed to pull out the seats, center console and gear shifter surround, took a weekend and a fair few beers. You get to look forward to finding all sorts of weird shit under the seats and carpet, I pulled out a Chinese dudes passport from 2003, 220 yen and a condom wrapper 😆
    • Well, turns out not a lot happened from back then to now, between life again, and working on 3 separate other cars (only one of which was mine, and will now be departing the household soon).   So I decided with the whole "don't go outside, it's a cyclone!" Turning in to being not a whole lot, I ventured down to the garage, found a couple of water leaks in the shed (the main one I've already fixed), and then ended up "stuck" as it started pouring rain, and I didn't want to walk back inside in the pouring rain. This meant I ended up taking a look at the Skyline, and trying to work out what past Matt had been upto. I retraced a few things out from scratch, added the rest of the power feeds in that I needed for the indicators, and headlights. Double checked I'd wired a few things up correctly (and worked out how I wired a few things to begin with), updated my sparse notes. Added one of the ground points. Oh, and got really really dusty, as the car is quite dirty. Wrote up quickly what should be left for me to do with the wiring too. Adding the below photos more for my records than anything else. I need to make myself a proper book for the car that details everything, and how I've done it, but for now, this is my records... The third image is my most important one for me, and I need to draw it out into a proper schematic eventually. The last photo is my re-written list, I'd have put it on the white board, except I had to take the white board down to fix one of the water leaks.
    • Can try Maxima. Or random Infiniti models from the same era. Good luck with your hunt, let us know what you find!
