system question - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #17527 65 posts Started by Rider
and a HU is the most important part of ur system. if you dont have the quiality output(HU) u wont get the quality input(speakers).

your system is only as powerful as its weakest link
yeah using a line converter is only going to cause problems ...might as well save the time and hassle and buy a new HU......most HU rms output ill do fine.....

and stereo can be a matter of taste....it all depends one what music you listent to and how you build the system.....

for example a guy that listen to rock isnt going to want a hard hitting sub
SQ would be his choice...

Headunit- Sony
Subs-Kicker, JL, or Adire (Brahma)
Amps-Rockford or Concept
Tweeters-Memphis/Fultron
Mids-Sony or Boston Acoustics

I deal in car audio equipment a lot and have tried nearly every major brand out there and these are the best I've found. You won't find a better combination than this without going out of your way.
well i didnt say anything about "spl db and that crap" i was just to say it can be done by taste.....it can be broken down to brands/looks/sounds/size anyting pretty much....thats all i meant

well i know they run off RCA pre-out.....i just added that last bit kinda like saying that all brands have a decent rms output to the factory speakers....my bad should have been more clear...and btw last time i check my and a few others HU have a little rms going output for the sub....nothing big or enough to run the sub but it lets to fine tune...

ok every but shid is needs to stop talking.
if you do not have a system now im pretty sure your probably gonna like whatever you get because it will be a noticable difference. My first system was a 400 watt jensen amp from walmart and two 200 watt rockford subs and I thought it was the sh**. Ive def upgreded now but a Systems is never something everyone can agree on you gotta find what you like.

buy my subs >smile.gif>
2 Kicker Solo Baric 8" L7s
come with amp, and box, and wiring, if you really plan to crank em though you will need a capacitor

you'll be more than happy w/ bass, i could never crank em cuz if you have an aftermarket sunroof it rattles like no other unless.

shid...i understand what you are trying to say...but at least try to understand me....his hu right now pushes out very minimal rms watts. if he gets a new hu, the rms will almost double. If the power going into the factory amps, doubles, the power coming out if the amp will be at least twice as much power, as opposed to the stock hu...that will sound really bad and could damage his speakers...like your still not understanding my point...if he didnt have the factory amps id say hell yea go out and buy an alpine but, in this case that would lead to a lot more $$$ and pali...since ur an mecp u should know that too. we could just buy a new hu, and buy an amp integration harness, but we still needa track down a wiring harness for the 8 speaker system, which we would prob have to look for online. if the line out sux, which it shouldnt cause ive installed them in a few cars (acura rsx, saab 9-3, mazda 3), they came out fine

the damn harness for his radio doesnt even have negatives for the front and right speakers....plus he has 3 speakers in each door
-celicruiser+Oct 24, 2004 - 5:23 AM
if a hu has nough juice juice in it for 8 speakers, and it sounds good ill be impressed
-celicruiser+Oct 24, 2004 - 5:26 AM
he doesnt even need a new hu tho...only for the subs maybe. cause otherwise it sounds really good
im just tryin to do this in the most cost effective way.......and before i coulda swore u were sayin u didnt have to bypass....thats why i was like wtf
-celicruiser+Oct 24, 2004 - 5:32 AM
maybe thats how u guys install line outs on the west coast cause every car ive seen and heard with a line out on the east coast, is fine...we will find out tomorrow how it sounds
theres not way in hell a line out converter is going to sound as good as a new HU.....might as well save the time and buy at least a half decent HU....celicruiser what are you installing....sounds like this guy wants just that little extra kick for like a really low buget....how much money does he have to spend...maybe we can get a little something going for him..

unless he wants really cheap then just get POS amp and a set of 6x9s hahahah jk
