what is the best kind of sound system for my car? money dosent matter?

Question

i got a 2006 G6 hardtop Convertible

Answer 1

Pioneer!

Answer 2

I have to question the people on answers sometimes.... Boston Acoustics? Sony? Kenwood? None of that is high end equipment.

Deck: Eclipse, Alpine, or Pioneer Elite, in that order.

Speakers: MB Quart, Focal, or CDT.

Subs: Adire Audio, Image Dynamics, or JL Audio. Flip a coin between them, they are all that good....

Amps: JL Audio, Zapco, PPI, Soundstream, Kicker, Fosgate, or MTX.

Get an Audio Control active x-over and EQ for your system, and have a reputable shop do the install.

You are looking at around 5-10k here..... minimum. I would suggest getting a Clifford Avantguard 5 as well.

Answer 3

i might probaly recomend geting 2 12s and amping your audio device i might get 2 12 kicker or jl u could desire to get into something like a jl w3 or kicker cvr the cvr is 800w m and 400rms each and each sub and then run 4 or 2 gauge wiring and for a amp for the cvrs i might recomend working Kicker ZX550.2 amp u in complete u will spend approximately 450 on the bass now to make ur audio device resembling the bass i might recomend geting some alpine variety s amped audio device they run approximately 60 a pair one hundred twenty a collection and that they u could desire to run any 4 chanel amp to them and then u could be realy bumping however the appropriate guess is pass to a close-by motor vehicle audio save and verify all the subs out and see what u like yet 2 12 kickers will slam I unquestionably have a million 12 basically because of the fact i didnt wana spend that a lot and that i'm louder than some human beings w 2 12s my ampd audio device help a lot

Answer 4

Pioneer and Alpine headunits are the shhh (Pioneer Premier 960mp is real good has a mic that adjust the timing of the output for each speaker so it sounds exaclty like your in the center of the music by where ever you put the mic). Hifonics, JL Audio, Audiobahn amps are the shhh. JL, Audiobahn, RE, Kicker(Must be the square ones) are the shhh pretty much stick with those brands oh dont for

Answer 5

http://spkrbox1.spaces.msn.com/ for real "sound" advice.

Your system won't mean squat without a well designed box to put your subs in. Some manufacturers have recommendations as to dimensions of various types of boxes. It is best to find someone who builds boxes if you go with something other than a sealed box.

You should always match up RMS (Root Mean Square) watts of Subs and amp per channel as well as impedance's(resistances).

If your amp is rated at 4Ω don't subject it to 2Ω, it will fry.

Here is the formula for subs in parallel:

Z = 1 / (1/sub1 + 1/sub2 + 1/sub3 + ....)

For series, just add them up (sub1 + sub2 + ...).

You can mix and match these equations to get the right impedance required by your amp.

Example: 4 subs @ 4Ω each. If I connect two in parallel and the other two in parallel and tie the two pairs in series, I would have a total impedance(resistance) of 4Ω. So to the amp, it's just one sub.

You should use a capacitor as well.

Recommend for every 500 watts MAX you use a .5 Farad cap
Example: 1000 watts MAX - 1 Farad cap

Try http://www.soundomain.com/shop you can find some really good deals, and this site is manufacturer certified. VERY IMPORTANT WHEN SHOPPING ON-LINE!!!

You will also need what's called a "line level converter" if your stock head unit doesn't have RCA outputs or your amp doesn't have high-level inputs.

If you like I can send you some plans for reference. My plans are for a 4-th order band pass bass box that holds two 12's. Also included are java calculators you can use to figure parallel and series values given Ω values.
Just e-mail me [e-mail]

My system

Blaupunkt TSw1200 subs with a Sony Xplōd XM2200GTX.
My amp is 1200 watts, subs are 600 watts each, cap is 1.2 Farad

SPL is about 112 db

Total cost(so far) = $410

Answer 6

Do not put pioneer in your car if you want the best. Arguably Alpine is the leader in high quality car stereos, I would use JL audio Subs and amplifiers, some people's personal preference varies but you can't go wrong with JL audio either.components and separates I would go with MB Quart. If anyone says the have better equipment than you after this they are just lying

Answer 7

HU: Alpine or Eclipse or Kenwood
Speakers: MB Quartz or Boston Accoustic
Subs: JL Audio or Memphis Audio or Diamond Audio
Amps: Doesn't really matter, get something that matches your sub/subs power that has a good warranty.

Answer 8

I have always liked the CLARION Pro seires source units and DSP as well as there Xover`s.But as far as amps and speakers I say JL Audio amps with there W7 Subs and either the JL Audio mid`s and Tweets, Or even the MB quarts mid`s and tweets.

Answer 9

HU: Alpine or Eclipse
Speakers: MB Quartz
Subs: JL Audio or Rockford Fosgate
Amps: Rockford Fosgate
More $$ doesn't always mean better stuff..... buy what matches your listening preferences.

Answer 10

I'd go with a Kenwood, Alpine or Eclipse radio
Kicker, JLaudio or Boston Acoustic mids and highs
Kicker, JBL or JLaudio subs
Zapco, Kicker, JLaudio or Alpine amp
