whats your budget for components?
What the duckeatspork is saying is strictly true, But if it was me, I wouldnt waste my money upgrading stock speakers unless I was amping.
There will be an improvement, But not one big enough to jusity the price you are paying imo.
I owe it all to Forums, 3 years ago, My first post on an audio forum was asking what switch i press to change the impedence ;)
IF you are confused regarding wiring the subs, And what impedence will be show, Theres a few wizards on the net, I used to use em all the time, But ive done that many...
Right first of all lets get one thing out the way.
For a Road Car, 600wrms is more than enough. Cheapo Chavvy companies have runined Wattage, By plastering 120000000w on 6x9s etc etc. Put this into consideration, A stand Renault hed unit is probably sending no more than 10wrms to your door...
All i am interested in here is making sure you dont break stuff, You appear to be quite new, And I would hate for you to blow something up so soon after buying it, So I suggested an amp with a lower power output, So even if you were silly with the gains, You wouldnt do much harm.
I've ran...
Of course it matters what wattage you get, Too much and you will blow your subs, Not enough and you wont be happy.
The wattage is shown in WRMS, Which is Watts Route Mean Square. Its a proper way of measuring actual power, AS regards to sayings I have 10,000 watt stereo.
However, IF i was...
By one sub I take it you mean 1 amp?
They are dual 2 ohm, so Can be wired to show a 2 ohm final load (Whe n2 are conencted)
Ohms is a law for measuring resistance, Basically your amp specifications will state what RMS (Wattage) the amp puts out at the various levels of impedence.
For...
Hi, My managers step son has just bought a 1999 Clio with a pioneer head unit in, But the steering wheel controller or the dash display wont work at all, Which is understandable. I explained he needed an adapter, So went to halfords to buy one and they told him that there is no adapter avaliable...
Yes thats what I mean, Basically, Your power wire needs to come from your engine bay,Through the bulkhead into the interior.
The remote turn on cable is just a thin cable that tells ur Amp to turn on when your head unit turns on.
I find JBL are the best budget sub you can buy.
I used to be a vibe fanboy, Purely because of their ease of use, But JBL are the best budget set up.
Never liked Fusion apart from their top end stuff, Alpine you pay alot for their name, Although The majority Of installs of done have...
What do you want to know exactly?
Your amp will need various connections, An Earth wire, Which can be connected to the vehicle Chassis via seatbelt bolt, A FUSED Power wire, Which you have to run from the battery in the engine bay to the amp. There are arious grommits in the engien bay to do...
Amp your fronts and run standard speakers of the Head unit in the back. Do not waste your money on rear speakers, Put this towards some decent componants and an amp for your fronts.
I personally dont run any think in the rear, Although I', sending 150wrms to my comps (or will be) so dont need...
Right, First of all let me know how much you are wanting to spend on your amplifier.
I presume you want to run 2 JBL GTO-1202D's? These Subwoofers have dual voicecoils and are Dual 2 ohm, So one speaker can be wired to show a 1 ohm or 4 ohm load.
As you have 2, You can wire them to show a...
In order to connect to the stalk control on the steering wheel, I believe you are going to need a seperate stalk adapter. I think Autoleads make them.
I'm going to generalise here, But I would imagine any of the Alpine units will work with your OEM CD Changer, I cannot confirm this, As my...
Whats your budget dude? Lets sort that out first of all.
No point me baqnging on about a set up thats out of your price range.
Let me know a budget and I'll have a think.
Jsut 2 12s with 600wrms to them, And 100wrms to some Diamond Componants in the doors.
Nowt special.
Just out of curiosity, Why arent you a fan?
Was always a Alpine fanboy, But did some research and these seem to be a very reputable manufacturer.
