BZRK_J Posted April 15, 2014 Report Posted April 15, 2014 What are your suggestions guys? I want to keep it as cheap as I can, no budget yet... Thinking about Rockford because I've never had a problem with them, they're cheap, and have great reviews. I was thinking an R500x1D for 2 R2D4 12's and not sure on door speakers and for the headunit, maybe a cheap KDC-155u. I don't really want to have to power the door speakers from an amp because I'd need a better radio for more RCA outputs. For wiring I was thinking a 4g kit from Knu. But another bad thing is the soft top convertible, won't too much air leak or would it be ok? Thanks for the suggestions ahead of time...

BZRK_J Posted April 16, 2014 Author Report Posted April 16, 2014 Sorry about the late reply. It's for my moms car so I guess just kinda loud but really clean, you know? I had 2 P3 15's in a box @ 32hz on a t1000 in my truck and she loved the bass but I'm still a little skiddish on the soft top in her car.
SnowDrifter Posted April 17, 2014 Report Posted April 17, 2014 You want a good daily setup that you can hear with the top down? I ask because there's going to be a HUGE price jump and difference in install difficulty going from a good daily system to an SQ system ~~~~~~~~SAY NO TO PHOTOBUCKET~~~~~~~~ Snow's DD-1 tracks here: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/167433-snows-dd-1-tracks/ My take on OFC vs CCA: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/110381-things-that-piss-you-off-in-the-car-audio-world/?do=findComment&comment=2461444
focused313 Posted April 17, 2014 Report Posted April 17, 2014 You're putting all of this in your moms car? Learning Everyday. Pioneer AVH-P4000DVD Alpine SPS-610C BXI-2008D (2) SWR-1242D / Ported
BZRK_J Posted April 17, 2014 Author Report Posted April 17, 2014 Yes this is all going in my moms car. And you have a very good point Snow... I guess just a high quality daily system. But she rarely ever puts the top down so that might be more helpful for me haha.
BZRK_J Posted April 18, 2014 Author Report Posted April 18, 2014 *UPDATE* Just ordered a Kenwod KDC BT318u. I have 2 kicker 6 1/2's and 2 Rockford inch tweeters for now. Still better than stock. Any ideas on nice sounding speakers that won't break the bank? Honestly thinking of just a component set or 2.
SnowDrifter Posted April 18, 2014 Report Posted April 18, 2014 What's your mounting depth like? For the price, crescendo PWXs impress. Take a fair bit of power too, so they'd go great with a 4 channel. You'd need a separate tweeter though ~~~~~~~~SAY NO TO PHOTOBUCKET~~~~~~~~ Snow's DD-1 tracks here: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/167433-snows-dd-1-tracks/ My take on OFC vs CCA: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/110381-things-that-piss-you-off-in-the-car-audio-world/?do=findComment&comment=2461444
BZRK_J Posted April 18, 2014 Author Report Posted April 18, 2014 I'll have to check it out tomorrow. I barely got the SMD website to work on my phone /: but it seems fairly reasonable depth. The only bad thing is getting a 4 channel because I still need the sub amp and the subs...
BZRK_J Posted April 21, 2014 Author Report Posted April 21, 2014 WelI got the radio in and it looks real nice. Tried taking off the door panel and sure enough, it ripped... Weak from the sun or I just don't know my own strength /: haha. I'm still trying to find a video to help me take off the door panel unless someone has any info on a 2005 Sebring convertible 2 door on taking off the door panels...
