Furious Porkchop Posted July 5, 2011 Report Posted July 5, 2011 Hi guys, I'm going to be purchasing a Mitsubishi Eclipse soon, and as of right now I am just trying to get an estimate of the price of a sound system. Apparently some Eclipses come with a "Rockford Premium Audio" with a 10" sub. It also includes 6 speakers in the car. I've listened to the sub before and it is kinda weak. Here is what I'm trying to find out: How good are the actual speakers in the Eclipse? If I'm just going with subs, I'd like 2 10" subs, a box, amp, wiring kit, everything. My budget is $600-$800, and I'm not sure if I'll need a new headunit.
6berry Posted July 5, 2011 Report Posted July 5, 2011 Ive heard the eclipses come with pretty good factory systems but never actually heard one myself. you should definitely be able to do 2 10's for $600-800. and a new headunit isnt required but makes the rest of the install easier and most of the times gives you better features than a factory headunit. what you can do is just use the stock speakers until (or even if) they blow then change them for some better ones. 1999 Audi A4 1.8T::: 4 - DC Level 3 10's in a 4th order Rockford P6002 on Subs for now (3-3.5k coming eventually) MB Quart ONX4.60 for Mids and Highs Boston S50 Components in Front Boston S65 Coaxials in Rear 40 Sq Ft of Second Skin Damplifier Build Thread UBL 1948 Plymouth

Furious Porkchop Posted July 6, 2011 Author Report Posted July 6, 2011 Alright, looks like I'll just get subs for now. I was looking at these: http://www.amazon.com/Kicker-CompVX-06CVX104-10-Inch-Subwoofer/dp/B000OFTIQ8/ref=pd_sxp_f_pt How good are those? And I would run 2 with this amp probably: http://www.amazon.com/Kenwood-Kac-9105D-1800-Watt-Class-Amplifier/dp/B0037ZRP7G/ref=pd_bxgy_e_text_b And this for a wiring kit: http://www.amazon.com/PK4Z-Gauge-Power-Amplifier-Installation/dp/B000Q6DLTK/ref=pd_bxgy_e_text_c I'm not too sure about a box, I figured I'd just look at what you guys recommend.
