ps.IF anyone at perth Give me some SweetDEAL!!

go to www.strathfield.com.au

you will be able to get a good package there

they used to have a sony XPLOD package for aroung $800-$900 which included:

- 6"

- 6x9s

- 800w sub

- 4x200 boss amp

- cd player

it was a pretty good deal but i dont think they have it anymore. try emailing them and see. every month or so they have new deals which a really cheap

Joe,

You say you have about $1,500 to spend right?

OK, we don't have to worry about a deck or changer as you have them already.

So I say get a set of splits for the front @ $300.00

A 4 channel amp @ $700.00

15" Sub in a box @ $500.00

Bridge two of the channels and run the sub in mono for more power.

I left the cheap rear 2 ways in mine and just faded them right out so that people in the back can hear some of the singing over the 2 x 12" in the boot...

If you went to different places and asked for the stuff above fully installed for $1,500 you would get someone who would do it..

I got my Deck ($1,000), subs and amp ($1,500) fully installed + a box for $2,500, (already had the splits and extra amp installed) In other words they didn't charge me for the box or install. Thats because I shopped around once I decided what to get and played the shops against each other....

DONT BUY SONY.

Front splits buy some Boston Pro 2-ways for $1k

Rear speakers leave the stock ones.

Spend the other $500 on an amp for the front speakers, and then get a subwoofer and another amp later on. Do it right the first time, dont waste your money on SONY SHIT.

boston pro's are very high end

high end splits = Boston Pro, MB Quart, Dynaudio System 260 and 360, Hertz Hi Energy etc..

I definatly rate Boston Pro's.... VERY VERY good split.... You can have them absoloutely screaming and they dont loose any quality what so ever...

i'm just having a look on the boston web site at all their product range. it seems quite impressive.

what splits should i get? they have the 5.5, 6.5, or the 6.5³. the 6.5³ i think will be a bit to $$$.

just to let you know what i plan to do (in case it helps)...i've got a head unit that i will use for the moment but will upgrade in a couple of months. i've only got the standard speakers at the moment. i don't want any subs for the moment however i will eventually. right now i just want to add some new front speakers and possible some rear ones after the front. what sort of amp should i get to run the fronts and also the rears when i get them?

thanks for the help guys.

Jackal...

I had Boston's Flagship 6.5³'s in my old car, and I can vouch that they are absolutely magnificent speakers (as you you imagine) :P

They retail for $1600 and I'm asking $800 for them.

The only problem is that one speaker mounting hole is broken on a 4" Mid-range..

Merli. :uh-huh:

Boston 6.5s are 2-Way Splits (6.5" Mid-Bass, 1" Tweeter)

Boston 6.5³s are 3-Way Splits (6.5" Mid-Bass, 4" Mid-Range, 1" Tweeter)

The 6.5³s sound much more natural with the extra Mid-Range frequencies... They are really worlds apart, you can't compare them....

Mine are about 1.5 years old... But haven't been used for the last 6 months and have recently (1 month ago) been removed from the car.

I suppose I can take pics if you *REALLY* wanted them, but they look exactly like the ones off the website.

Merli. :uh-huh:

No, they were installed in a Proton :P

As you may have guessed, the 6.5" Mid-bass was mounted in the door, and the 4" Mid-range and 1" Tweeter were mounted on a custom fibreglass kickpanel.

Merli. :uh-huh:

    • Thanks for reaching out!  It's a blessing and a curse at the same time.  I'm undiagnosed but it doesn't take a rocket scientist to see it in me... I have more half started projects laying around my house, shed, garden, etc taking up space and money, destroying aesthetics than if I added up all of my mates projects together. But, ADHD gives me the ability to hyper focus on things that no mere mortal could even  comprehend.  A recent pool build is an example of that....  I dont know anyone else that would be dumb enough and focused enough to take on then complete something of that magnitude. I call ADHD a superpower but it can equally be completely destructive if not controlled and focusedon the right places. Addiction is a major concern to ADHD people and thankfully my addictions have been no worse than projects, XBOX, chocolate and being an arsehole! It's often hereditary and my 13 year old son is currently learning how to drive it at the moment. Keep lurking! If i can finally finish this bloody thing at some point it will be a win for all of us ADHD'ers! 🤪
    • I've been quietly following this thread for ages, but this one got me. Since my ADHD diagnosis (and associated learnings and prescription) I'm way less inclined to wade into forum yarns when there are better things to do with my time, as half the time I'd end up in some kind of forum debate even if that wasn't my intention. I've not lost the ADHD "superpowers", just am a lot better at directing my hyperfocus into slightly more constructive things, but haven't stopped quietly lurking in here in my spare time.  
    • Stripped the tank down and gave it a good scrub. It came up really good! Not sure if I'll just put it back in like that or give it a blackening treatment (such as Bowdens The Black Box). That might give it a matte look so might just run it as is.     
    • @MBS206 Ha ha, yeah ADHD is a daily battle to not get drawn in to doing things you want to do that you know you shouldn't do!  Every single time I walk into my shed I end up doing something I started the day having zero intention of doing! I keep mentioning the 1 step forward, 3 steps back scenario and I'm tipping people that are blessed with ADHD (yes, blessed) are the worst at that!  
    • We import a lot of cars from Japan. I'd say that approximately 20% of our traffic is imported JDM cars (mainly consumer cars like the Mazda Demio, Toyota Yaris, Honda Fit, Suzuki Swift, etc.). We also import a lot from the UK, but this has decreased after Brexit. Apart from the consumer vehicles, two of the larger, well-known dealerships frequently import iconic '80s/'90s JDM cars. I haven't heard of anyone importing from Australia, and they are not advertised (unlike Japanese ones), despite a lot of Maltese migrating to Australia in the '50s and '60s.
