zazzn Posted March 28, 2014 Report Posted March 28, 2014 Hello everyone, I'm trying to modernize my 1987 Supra to have decent sound. After being spoiled by my 2008 IS-F with ML sound SQ. VS my supra it's like like hearing when for the first time. First i'll start with the item choices that I have found. AMP MB Quart QA1100.5 - $174 Amazon Can't find much info on the internet at all about it, I know MB Quart used to be a good name but I heard since they are no longer german they were no longer good. I believe SMD is a MB Quart fan? Planet Audio AC1800.5 - $132 Amazon Cheapest amp on amazon, probably not the greatest quality but for the price and the review on Amazon I'm not sure if the 50$ for the MB Quart is worth it. Clarion Mobile XC1410 - $89 Amazon If i was to purchase this, it would only power the component R/L and rears I would get a monoblock for the sub. Speakers Front R/L Clarion SRG1623S - 6.5" components $51.72 Amazon I've always liked clarion they have never let me down and I have a inside hook up which can probably get me these for cheaper than amazon Kenwood -KFC-P709PS $68.36 - Amazon Just had high rating on amazon other than that don't know anything about them. Kicker 40C654 - $69.95 - Amazon Heard these at a audio demo at a shop sounded pretty nice. Rear fillers Clarion SRG1023R - 4" coaxial speakers $30.97 Amazon Sub Not sure was thinking the Clarion especially since it has a DVC and can take a 4 ohm VC down to 2 if you wire parallel. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated as I said, I'm not looking for anything crazy, I listen to pop, alternative, rock and some old 90's dance. I will be using the stock speaker baffles and not sure if I should get a sub in a box in the back or a underseat sub like the clarion srv250 or the kicker one to make life easy. Thanks!
mbdblue Posted March 28, 2014 Report Posted March 28, 2014 I wouldn't put too much backing on reviews from amazon.... I also wouldn't settle for Clarion because you have a hook up with them. You gotta hear different setups in order to make a good judgement. Swing by your local audio shop and see what they have (besides kickers). And as always, you get what you pay for.
