I wanting to have a sound system that blows peoples minds without busting my windows what is the best watts?

Question

best speakers and amps

Answer 1

I've posted this before, but it should provide you with a some help.

The components of a good car sound system would be as follows: The source (cd player, in-dash dvd/nav system, radio, tape player, etc.), the speakers, the subs, the amps, the parts/wiring. Also, depending on how big of a system, possibly a new battery or two and an alternator. Here are some of my recommendations as far as good brands.

Deck: Eclipse, Pioneer (regular or premier), Alpine, Kenwood Excelon, Nakamichi (not the greatest looking, but great sound).

Speakers: Polk Audio, Infinity, Eclipse, Pioneer Rev High end: Focal, Boston, MB Quart, Nakamichi

Subs: JL Audio, MTX, Kicker, Eclipse, Audiobahn, Memphis, Hifonics, Diamond Audio, Fosgate (p3 and higher)

Amps: all the sub companies, plus, Precision Power, Crossfire, Cadence, Soundstream

Parts/Wiring: Monster, Tsunami, Streetwires, even Kicker and Fosgate make decent parts/wiring.

Now if I had to choose, here would be my choices:
Deck: Eclipse or Pioneer
Speakers: Polk Audio, Infinity, or Eclipse
Amps/Subs: JL Audio or MTX
Wiring: Tsunami or Monster

As far as the order in which to purchase (if you can't do it all at once) here would be my suggestion:

First replace you speakers (stock stereo with good speakers sounds better then aftermarket stereo with stock speakers),

Then replace the deck (it'll help the speakers, but it will also give you the foundation to build the rest of the system off of)

Next, subs/amps/wiring (give you that extra bass that you need, make sure you use good wiring and the right size, capacitors if needed, important for system, also as far as the wiring, remember you will need another amp for speakers)

Next, amp for speakers (speakers will play cleaner, tighter, more accurate, and louder - a must, especially with the subs)

After that its all just accessories: i.e. satellite radio, navigation, dvd player, screens, etc.

Now as far as where to get them, most of these companies will be available at Circuit City, BestBuy, Cardomain.com, Cruthfield.com. Others are only sold at authorized dealers (usually a local audio company), but you'll have to check out their websites in order to find the ones nearest you.

As far as cost, I would say a decent FULL system would start around 1200 installed and then just go up from there. Now just new speakers and a deck, I'd say around 450 and up for a good setup completely installed.

But in the end these are just my recommendations (based on quality and sound), like Sparky said only you can judge what you like. Everyone's ears are a little different so what sounds good to me may not sound good to you. Shop around at all the car audio dealers and take a listen, but make sure you take one of your cds with you so you can judge all of them with the same song (one that you are familiar with).

Answer 2

I've been working with stereos and car audio my whole life i now own a business i found that you can have a stereo that cost
$300 up against a $2000 stereo and if the More expensive stereo isn't hooked up right or tweaked to where it should be the $200 stereo will win keep that in mind....Also 12'' subs are made for tone, 10'' subs are made for thump, 15'' subs are made for loudness, 8'' subs are made for background bass hits, Anything over a 15'' sub will be great if you got the right equipment running them and if you tweak it out to the best quality!! If you want me to go into further detail or explain my reasoning better email me at [e-mail]

Answer 3

Clarity, not voume is what really determines a good stereo system. Clear,tight sound (tighter soundwaves) can "pierce" through the air and you can pickup the sound without it being very loud. Simple power and volume just give you volume and distortion.

Answer 4

the final element that caught my breath substitute into while i substitute into talking to this colleague countless years in the past and he or she substitute into touching directly to me the final time she had made her boyfriend previous due for paintings substitute into while that they had long gone parking on a thank you to drop him off. that they had one extra 15 minutes to spare and he nevertheless be on time. He slid the seat back and leaned back and he or she went down interior the floor board. He ended up being an hour previous due for paintings. She had teased him for 60 minutes without battling and without launch until the very end. i think of he stored the timecard that week.

Answer 5

Well if you want something that will be loud as hell, I'll do 2 MTX 9500 12's in a sledgehammer box and a MTX amp 81001. My friend has that set up and it was loud as hell.. I am saving up for that set up now. Hopefully have it next month.

Answer 6

my friend used two performance 10s in his dodge shadow. busted out all his windows, shook off his rearview and side mirrors, and sometimes did damage to cars parked next to his. Hows that for a system?
