Souldrop Posted November 5, 2013 Report Share Posted November 5, 2013 Yeah, its a tough call giving you a suggestion as far as equipment. I personally like rockford fosgate (Old School and Power Series), but that's more for sentimental reasons. I'm tempted to say go ahead and try out a setup. If you don't like how your setup sounds sell the parts you don't like and buy new ones. Without reliable shops or people around to listen to a variety of different brands in different setups you won't know what you will like. You could go with the suggestions that have been given so far. It's a better starting place than some. I don't think anyone would steer you wrong. I didn't check all of the links, but most of the suggestions seemed acceptable. You're probably not going to get if perfect right off the bat, if you do great! If not, you're not the first nor will you be the last. Most people's systems evolve with time, they learn more about what they want as a listener and sometimes just want to change it up from time to time. It's good to ask for suggestions and advice, but at some point you're just going to have to bite the bullet and try some of your ideas and equipment you want out. Maybe double check you're not getting a horrible brand, but beyond that there are too many good companies out there to push you in certain directions. As far as JL subs, I have heard a w3 12 and a w7 13.5. They both sounded good in my opinion. I would not buy jl personally as they are a tad expensive.

Then yeah he could use the 4 channel amp first 2 channels for the comps up front and the last 2 channels for the rear speakers, or even better bridge it into 2 channels and power the components off that and then just power the rears off the deck. And that was just a few quick suggestions considering the budget he is on. Up to him really, just to buy some decent low-mid end gear since he can't go to a local shop/ dealer or hear someone with a good setup.

Actually the 6x9"s are stock, along with the 6.5"s. And the front's have factory brackets for 4"s, I know they can fit 6.5"s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xan326 Posted November 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2013 I know double posting is usually shunned upon. But I measured my front speaker brackets, I can fit 6.5"s as long as the speakers have 6 mounts such as the crescendo's. My kick panels, if done correctly and super accuately, can hold 8"s. Rear deck I'm still trying to decide what to do there. I'm thinking, that if I do it just right (I need a flexible curve, it'd be so useful right now) I might be able to fit four 10"s in my deck if I cut the insides and make a custom board/bracket.
