Best setup

[CJ]

What's the best setup I could get for £300? Looking for amp, sub and 2 6x9's? Haven't got much of a clue. Where's cheap? Cheers:approve:

DO NOT BUY 6X9's!

Amp, Sub and front components is all you need.

A cheap place on the net is incarexpress.com

Amp - £100 (JBL 75.4 is a very good budget amp)

Sub + box - £70 (Blaupunkt/FLI)

Front Components - £90 (Rainbow/Infinity)

Then spend the other £40 on a decent wiring kit.

You won't need 6x9's.

don't really need front components though, the sund on the standard cliosport ones are good enough.

 

[The Bear]

No they won't be, especially if you are amping them up. They have a piss poor RMS wattage and probably wouldn't take the power of an amp for long (though I could be wrong).

I can't believe you'd contemplate upgrading your audio setup and not replace the factory speakers, it's crazy!! Plus if you keep the standard fronts and buy 6x9's they will completely overpower the sound in the front and you will hear everything coming from behind you.

Use the money set aside for the 6x9's to buy new fronts, even if they are only coaxials. You wouldn't believe how much better a pair of speakers sound over the standard Renault ones they put in, even just running off the HU never mind an amp.

Well that told me lol. Ok so I'll ditch the 6x9 idea and get some front components

 

[The Bear]

Don't just take my word for it

Get components if you're happy fitting a crossover and tweeter elsewhere in the door/dash as they are seperate from the speaker. Otherwise get Coaxials as the crossover/tweeter is built into the speaker and require less work. Components will sound a bit better though.

So people dont recomend 6x9's? there is a ministry of sound headunit of seen, get a pair of 6x9's with it, is it better to go for a different head unit?

 

[Djw John]

yes larky defo

 

[Alan]

Alpine or Becker are the only head units to have IMO.

 

[dunnaz]

if your after a great looking haed unit, try pioneer!!!

alpine are all, but they all look the same, which imo is fairly boring

Pioneer all the way!!!

 

[Alan]

Its not about looks mate...^^

 

[dunnaz]

kk, imo pioneer & alpine are at the same level with technology but pioneer edge it with looks

id rather have a nice looking good hd, rather than an ugly looking good hd

if u know wot i mean
