OK, so my last post was about the Big 3 on my '00 Protege, but she got totaled shortly after making that post.
I've got a '02 S-10 supercab truck. I've got a "basic" system in there now; subwoofer and door speakers. It's nice, but my goal is to make a system that's loud and clear - not hardcore SQ, but I don't need 150db either.
I've got a Power Acoustik FUBAR 12" subwoofer, rated at 700w RMS (bought from a friend, used, for cheap) - 4 Polk Audio db651s door speakers (was recommended by the local car audio shop), and a pair of tweeters. I can get loud, but it drowns out anything other than the boom, heh. I was also recommended to buy a pair of (cheaper) Fosgate tweeters, which helped - but still not the "clarity" I'm looking for.
I've still got the stock head unit, as I don't have the cash for a double DIN receiver at the moment. CDs sound better than radio, but again, the loudness wipes out the clarity. I don't have any amps pushing my door speakers, and I'm not trying (at the moment) to make a competition car. Just something in my daily driver that sounds nice.
Any advice greatly appreciated, I've been reading for a few days now and I'm still learning quite a bit. Thanks for taking it easy on me....
