Car stereo suggestions?
Posted on: 08.07.2013 by Vikki Guinyard
slightly OT, I know - but also not at all.

i'm looking to spend $600 or so on a new system, but I'm completely lost. I haven't been in touch with car audio in a long time.

def need a sub - bass!

anybody have suggestions? I'd really appreciate it!

THIS. Don't get the type R's unless you want to get an even more expensive amp to go with it, the extra power it draws is kinda pointless to me if you know what you are doing when hooking things up correctly. The alpine CDA-9885 is the cheapest alpine model that has the sub outs on the back, go with this. You can find the matching amp with the sub and speakers (both type S), and deck easily on ebay for under 600. My setup right now is... 4 2-way 4" speakers in the front, 2 tweeters in the front, 2 2-way 4x6" speakers in the back, 2 3-way 6x9" speakers powered by an amp, 2 10" subs powered by an amp (obviously), and a capacitor (which in my opinion doesn't do much). ALL type S speakers. Sounds like a fuking concert in there.

29.07.2013		I have competed in many spl comps, and if u want some serious bass you can't go passed the Orion hcca series. But I believe they. Will be out of ur price range, lol. The alpinesare are beastly, I had twin 15s a little while ago and managed to break my passenger window at 23hz.
For amps, aslng as it is a class d mono black for your sub u will be fine, and remember to always overpower your subs, that way you will get the most out of them, just don't put it in the reds and you will be fine.
For you mids and hi, I personally believe splits sound better, but have a listen around, these are usually up to personal taste though. Personally I like the vibe audio splits,

12.07.2013		I always bought Alpine head units and loved em, never tried the subs but I'm sure they're good.

10.07.2013		Don't discredit Alpine because the sub is named Type R. There is also a Type S if you're looking to save, both are high quality.

09.07.2013		I haven't done a car system for about 10 years but when I did I always used Rockford Fosgate subs:

They are quite expensive but if you make your own box from mdf it's not too bad.

There's probably newer brands now as well, maybe cheaper - I'm going back to when I had a Nova GTE lol

08.07.2013		Definitely go with an Alpine Type-R. 12" is great, but 10" does just fine. I usually pair it with a Rockford Fosgate amp since I often find them for a reasonable price.

Pioneer decks aren't top of the line but last forever. I prefer USB connectivity in the back so I can drop the cable into the glove box and plug in a usb stick.

Interior speakers will obviously depend on how much $ you have left.
