Speaker with subs???? cluless

[my dreamt dsm]

I am totally a RETARD when it comes to speakers and cd players! Will this fit my 98 gst with a stock system. Its the add on with the speakers that scares me!

I have 6.5 inch kicker speakers on my 99 gst. You mostly have to worry about the back speakers since most aftermarket speaker magnets are to big. I'm pretty sure you will be good for the front speakers.

This stuff is not the best quality and sony explode stuff can be found at wal-mart, so i would just buy it there. If it doesn't fit return it.

 

[Blurred Talon]

Sony sucks.

Get something different. Since I don't know your budget, I can't suggest anything.

I swear by Kenwood.....I Have Kenwood: Head unit, (2) 920 watt amps, (1) 300 watt amp, (2) 1200 watt 12" subs, and (2) 500 watt 6" x 9"'s in seperate enclosures. Never had an issue with Kenwood products. Although my system is incredibly loud and I'm very proud of it, I can't enjoy it in the Talon because I'm afraid I'll miss out on engine problems if they occur Sux.

 

[my dreamt dsm]

Thanks guys! Yeah I've heard of sony sucking, !
It got good reviews from crutchfeild or whatever... so I thought the reviews would prove something positive!
Any apline, infinity, pioneer fans here that could recommend a good speaker?

Hey dude, ive done a lot with sound systems in my cars, and what ive found out is that pretty much everything speaker wise at walmart sucks, and big stores like best buy over charge a ton, I would go to a local car audio shop and get some decent speakers you will save a lot of money !! You should not spend more then 40 dollars of each set, and one big thing to remember about car audio in general, it dosnt matter how big the watt # is on the speakers if you dont have the power to push them.... such as a head unit or separate amp

 

[MJBean420]

Kenwood amps are good. Havent had any problems with mine. I will swear by Zapco. They can really throw some power.

 

[audiomaster1990]

if you want a bada$$ amp, look for either boss or lanzar, iv run both of them, had 4 2000w rms 15s hooked up to 1 boss riot 4500 and believe it or not it pushed them fine.definately stay away from sony, and if your looking for subs, definately look at lanzar or audiobahn, you can find them cheap as $hit on ebay, and theyll both pi$$ off gas station attendants.

oh, and just a tip, do your research. most companies (kicker, rockford fosgate, mtx, etc.) are just pricy because of the name. i had lanzar max series 15's that kicked the $hit out of the $1000 systems that the owners of a couple of "pro" audio shops had in their cars, and my complete system cost $350 brand new. ebay is your friend

More often than not, with electronics you get what you pay for.

Kenwood and Alpine are the only names I trust as far as head units. Alpine, Pioneer, Kenwood, MB Quart and a little company called Hybrid Audio are all I trust for speakers, and JL and Alpine are all I trust for amps and subs.

I'm not saying that all other products are junk, just do you're research, test some stuff out... If it works well for you then stick with it! Car audio is about the sound and the fun Oh and package deals like a deck and two speakers or a deck and four might be good on the wallet for now, but you WILL replace them sooner rather than later...

 

[my dreamt dsm]

^ yeah.. i've always stuck with apline and pioneer. i just seem to like their players. other then speakers. I really never tried anything else then stock stuff. My stock infinity are blown that's why I asked! Thanks for the replys!

 

[ratatack]

JL audio is the best so far but believe it or not i used a sony amp for my subs and it has been a lil trooper so far..

 

[spooled_u_1st]

+1 one with the JL Audio, especially for amps and subs. But if you want to go with an awesome set of high / mid range, go with Eclipse Fujitsu Ten. Eclipse component speakers sound great.

And Infinity are pretty good too for high / mid range applications.

 

[my dreamt dsm]

Will I'm not going to compition or anything. But I was thinking bout pioneer/ Rockford fosgate speakers for front and back. And maybe Rockford for amp also.

im with him on infinity i have them for my door speakers in my spyder but i perfer jl audio if your going for lesser money for quality you could go to walmart and buy a set of pioner i did for my civic i got a nice set of three way speakers all the way around and they sounded great.

dude, seriously, my left nut could produce better bass than rockford fosgate. iv been hookin up audio in cars since i was 12 (my cousin had a shop) and iv seen off brands and no-name subs that could kick the $hit out of rockford fosgate subs and amps. back in the day when rockford was new, they were the $hit. my friend has a pair of rf subs that are like 13 or 14 years old, and they still beat. but their new stuff is just garbage. im tellin you, do your research and you can find Very good audio for cheap. for mids/highs, look at the hz response. the higher it is, the higher the sound tone the speakers will put out. for subs, lower is better.

You must have a very big left nut I have run nothing but fosgate! At car meets its my sound system that everybody dance to. I just love beating the brakes off the neighbor hood everytime i ride down the street. This is the best feeling next to riping through the traps at at the track

 

[TurboTerror99]

It's whatever your budget can afford. I'm a fosgate guy myself but I just like good sound and I don't want to beat the walls off my neighbors house every time I turn the volume up. You can take "crap" and make it sound good if you use good wires and enough power.

 

[thebgkoolio]

fosgate makes great amps and decent subs. i would stay away from their speakers. for speakers i'd go with alpine for good mid-range. infinity for a good high/mid and pioneer if you are on a budget. forget sony they are garbage. for subs alpine is ganna be the best for big names compared to price

 

[907gs-t]

All i use in my eclipse is Alpine & Kenwood product's only.

 

[toxicity883]

Its all about personal opinion everyone thinks what they use is the best, thers nothing wrong with that, thats just how it is. Ive ran memphis subs in every car i owned, and ive used the same JL 1000.1, im happy with that combo, so i stay with that combo.

 

[spydermanX98X]

I am not a fan of Alpine nor Kenwood headunits-low voltage outputs, and bad equalizers. Alpine units have always confused the hell out of me, but then again I've been using pioneer receivers for my home audio all my life, and there layouts are similar. I love pioneer, except sub and mono amps. I still havent found a company i'm happy with in that area.
