Looking to build system

[solored]

I will be going for a sealed inclosure, I am going to see what I can get away with as far as room goes... Im not new to the audio game just been out of the "new school" technoligy...

All I want is: IS to have audio that not to many people know of or use... Everyone around here runs JL, Alpine's, Rockfords, MTX etc... The stuff that TahoeJoe mentioned, Ive never herd of that before, and sounds pretty decent.

Also looking for a solid deck, I know that eclipse used to make some really good decks back in the day, how ever as everyone knows the indusrty isnt were it was at so quality kinda goes down the tubes to save money to build higher quality goods... So I am also looking for a really good deck...

Thanks everyone for the input, I really do apperciate it, as for pics I will post a build once I get a start on it. Wont be for a bit as I just got back to work.

Oh and I will be using B-quiet instead of dynamatt due to pricing and quality. B-quiet is thicker then dynamatt, and easier to lay down IMO

Ill also be planning on running red tops instead of the yellows. If the yellow tops die, you need the optima charger to charge them properly, as for the red tops they will work just fine. 600-1000amp soundstream batt cell should be enough, with a 200amp alt.

careful of lesser known gear, with todays economy, Lord hope you dont have an issue, but you need one strong enough to be around next year ya know?

Anyway, I'd run a Kinetik or XS battery if you can, much better than the red or yellow top for audio.

Yeah for sure I see were your coming from. Im also from Candad, so brands like Hifonics, RE Audio, Adire Audio,etc.. are not as popular as Apline, Pioneer, JL, etc. thats kinda what I am going after!!!

Any ideas on components? I remember CTS is good quality stuff, rather expensive now a days. I want some decent woofers in the doors!!

The setup with the 2 alpine type-r's is soo clean, that is something I am going for. Clean simple, yet still looks classy IMO.

As for the kinetik battry, I would have to buy one from the states I do believe. At least I dont recall seeing them around here. The red top is allright not the best but still decent..

Were can I find built up altnernators?

Thanks again guys.

Alts? https://www.dcpowerinc.com/alternators/chevrolet/suvs.html
Best in the business. Powerhouses and great service.

In my opinion I wouldn't try for different when it comes to comps. There are some really nice ones out there that are not well known but in door comps that usually means WOW expensive. I have had Infinity Kappa, Phoenix Gold and Rockford Fosgate between my cars the past few years. Infinity sounds crisp but the woofers leave some to be desired. Phoenix Gold I wasn't impressed with.
The Rockford PUNCH I have now I'm very happy with and here is the nice part. The tweets and woofers both sound great, lower RMS (65watts per side) so you dont need a monster amp and the best part is the integrated crossover. Depending on your skill level with freq adjustment that would take out the guesswork.
The Rockfords come in a few different sets but get the middle (punch series). Prime series dont have the higher quality crossover and the Power series are WOW loud but also very power hungry. (100watts per side)

Hope this helps, let me know if you run into questions. The key is not brand, but the quality that will give you problem free operation for years.

Right on man thanks again!

The only thing, I dont know what it is about rockford... I just dont like them at all... never have never will.. I think I have seen to many problems with their products when I have seen other people used them...

What is something that you would compare to the rockford set up? I am very picky! As I am sure you can tell!! haha. How ever, a guy needs to be to accomplish what he wants!

Currently I am running 2 sets of Diamond Audio D362
6" 120W Component Speaker System

They are actually pretty decent for the price I got them for, and they are running off a Hifonics Brutus zxi-440 4 chan amp. They scream, but looking for more mid bass


Thanks again!!

You might be able to find Kinetik, look at their dealer search on the site, I believe Gem-Sen is the Canada distributor.

I like XS Power for alts.

Right on. Hey if we all loved the same stuff we wouldn't have so much choice for aftermarket. Those Diamond comps do sounds nice, never used but have heard quite a few. Hell you may want to check with diamond to see if they have a "midbass" geared 6.5, lots of companies make them. A few others you may want to check out are Powerbass 4XL 6.5's and Cerwin Vega VMAX. I have heard both of those and they lack a bit in tweet but the door woofers rock pretty nice. I'm sure there is a bunch out there that sound great but i can only suggest what I have heard personally.

1 cheap way you could try and bring the midbass to life is order a few of the speaker cups. Install them inside the doors around the 6.5's and see what kind of difference you get. The cupping will force the speaker to be more accurate and you may hear enough difference with only spending 15 bucks.

I will PM you a few sites where you can find equipment online and save some cash.
