BboyTaktix Posted March 18, 2014 Report Posted March 18, 2014 Hey all, been really enjoying my current build in my subie STI. A friend heard it and loves the system, wants me to help him install a system in his car. He gave me a budget of $850 to pick equipment for him. Basically for the subs I've got that covered, he will be buying my two 12'' JBL already boxed for $150. Now with the last 700, thinking I will need some decent speakers all around plus an amp for the subs and speakers. With the limited budget I was also thinking retaining stock head unit for now. Assuming I'll need some form of line-in converter, I am not familiar with Volkswagens and not sure if his OEM head unit has any pre-outs on it. If anyone has done an install in one of these cars I'd appreciate their input, also, suggestions on front 6.5'' component and rear filler speakers and some good amps are appreciated. thanks!! 2018 Golf R - Stealth SQ system build - C508GTI front (active), 2x Pioneer Z10LS4, Zapco DSPZ8, Clarion DPX11551 (Mono amp), Pioneer GM-D8604 (front stage amp), Pioneer GM-A3702 (rear fill amp) SOLD! 2011 Subaru STI - 'modest' passive sq system - JBL p660c component (front) JBL P662 (rear) JBL W10GTI (sealed enclosure) 4ch JBL GO1004 (150RMSx4), Clarion DPX11551 mono amp (+-1200RMS@3ohms)

My word of advice to you is learn to spell (and speak for that matter) before offering up poor advice. 2018 Golf R - Stealth SQ system build - C508GTI front (active), 2x Pioneer Z10LS4, Zapco DSPZ8, Clarion DPX11551 (Mono amp), Pioneer GM-D8604 (front stage amp), Pioneer GM-A3702 (rear fill amp) SOLD! 2011 Subaru STI - 'modest' passive sq system - JBL p660c component (front) JBL P662 (rear) JBL W10GTI (sealed enclosure) 4ch JBL GO1004 (150RMSx4), Clarion DPX11551 mono amp (+-1200RMS@3ohms)
john253a Posted March 19, 2014 Report Posted March 19, 2014 Funny that you did respond and comment on my comment, when you say "no response to your comment" And as for spell and speak, why would you need a pause filler or hesitation form when posting, "Well," don't I look like a dick now That ^ is trolling My first comment, However, contained no, interpersonal conflict, shock-value controversy, discord, inflammatory, extraneous, or off-topic messages Did it not? And I stand by my statement Don't sell to mates if you want them to stay that way It very rarely work out well
jarrius Posted March 19, 2014 Report Posted March 19, 2014 $850 budget.. Hmm so many options. Soundqubed,NVX audio... I would pick one of those IMO as a full build. Edit: also do not charge a friend for the install and build a box for him. 2012 Chevy sonic1xSQ HDC3 12 D2RF R1200d 140 square foot of Q-Mat(soon to be installed) 140.2Db sealed on the dash with TL 142 DB sealed on the dash with another meter (was dead on with the TL at a show i was at) 141 on music. strangeduck,on 02 Jan 2014 - 01:39 AM, said: when my car spins out i just put the car in neutral, turn in the direction i want to go and pucker my asshole

Edit: also do not charge a friend for the install and build a box for him. Thanks I'll look into those suggestions. I was thinking of going with some JBL components and rears but as I have been having some issues with mine I am more reluctant to re-use/suggest them. I don't know where people are getting the idea I'm charging my friend for the install...I never said I was nor am I charging him. Also the subs he is buying off me are already in a sufficient box. Only reason I'm not reusing the subs and box is because they take too much space in my new car so I went with a single 10 instead. I do not have enough time to build him another box before install (not that I need to), he lives an hour away and I don't go there often. 2018 Golf R - Stealth SQ system build - C508GTI front (active), 2x Pioneer Z10LS4, Zapco DSPZ8, Clarion DPX11551 (Mono amp), Pioneer GM-D8604 (front stage amp), Pioneer GM-A3702 (rear fill amp) SOLD! 2011 Subaru STI - 'modest' passive sq system - JBL p660c component (front) JBL P662 (rear) JBL W10GTI (sealed enclosure) 4ch JBL GO1004 (150RMSx4), Clarion DPX11551 mono amp (+-1200RMS@3ohms)

CleanSierra Posted March 19, 2014 Report Posted March 19, 2014 Hey there OP, John is typically a really helpful guy. I don't know if he was trying to come across as snarky, he doesn't usually. Just a disclaimer though, he's either Australian or a Kiwi from New Zealand. Bad Grammar is for the lack of fucks to be given. As far as the post goes looking for help, I'd suggest Fosgate T1 components in the 6.5" versions. A good amp to power them would be a Fosgate P400-2. Im not the one you want to try to troll. Just a fyi for you.
