Your System??

RE: Your System??
I am still Tweeking the system but right now it is:
2005 Civic Hybrid
Alpine CDA 9851
MB Quart DSE 216 (front)
Alpine 170A (rear)
Alpine Type-S 1042D @ 2 ohm
Alpine M350-mono
Alpine F345 4/3/2
I was running the 4 channel to the sub and the fronts and running the deck on the rears. Sound was great. I got a hair up my **** and decided to get the mono amp to run the sub and the 4 channel on the front and rear. Sound seems to have suffered. My Sub sounds a bit dull now not a lot of punch just a little too basey and full range. I'm not sure if i am happy with the 170A's. I will be considering some separates in the rear now. I am also adjusting the crossover setting gain/filter. I am close to a really good thing and it is only an adjustment or two away.
I'll be listening to Bostons, MB Quarts and some others for the rears if i deside to change them out.

<P>Mine is still stock which is pretty much OK with me for now.</P>
<P>I've got other stuff I'll spend the money on.</P>
<P>2way radio etc.</P>
<P>But the bottom has such a muddy sound, </P>
<P>what is recommended to just (on a budget) clean up the bass.</P>
<P>I don't need to dim the lights, but I do want a cleaner bass line.</P>
<P>No one I've found has a simple amp/box combo that is worth anything.</P>
<P>JCW has an amp/tube combo, but I'll bet they'll be just as bad as the stock. Or worse !</P>

RE: Your System??
hey i was looking at a kenwood amp KAC-7201 and i already own a twin 10" sub manufactured by Boschmann. just wondering would it sound good since i have a 2003 civic and has all factory installed speakers and headunits.
Wat else would i need apart from amps to make it sound good.
Kind of a noobie when it comes to car audio.
Thanx

RE: Your System??
I am running a Pioneer head unit the old one that had the dolpins swimming and stonehedge screensaver. Factory replacement infinities, Pioneer 2 channel amp, also an Alpine 4 channel amp for mids and highs the Pioneer 2 channel runs the 2 MTX Thunderpro subs i have and i got a 1 Farad Capacitor for extra comfort in case or headlight dimming and take any stress of the car battery. Thinking about switching from two 10 inch subs to 3 or 4 8 inch subs.

believe it or not the new sony xplod line is cheap and hits hard and clean. i wouldnt recomend it for competition but i would for what you want. i bought a 12" sony xplod speaker and sony xplod 444 watt amp both for 150.00 at walmart. you aint gon find new stereo equip cheaper than that. one warning, DO NOT use a walmart box. have one custom built or pre built to the specs of the speaker. i believe u need 1 cubic foot of airspace, and a ported box makes all the difference in the world on that speaker. if you are handy with wood and know basic geometry u can build it yourself. the great thing about hatchbacks (i'm driving a 91 civic dx) is bass goes alot further in them. my single 12" sony bangs way harder in my hatch than my partners 2 10" JL's in his blazer. his was professionally installed, mine is all home installed. my highs are 2 pawn shop 4x6's in the back custom install since 91 dx only came factory with 2 door speakers, plus the 2 door speakers i just mentioned. the door speakers are factory and the highs are unbelievable still, they make your ears ring with the volume on 25. the bass sucks on them but i turn the bass all the way off on the head unit and up on the 12. my head unit is a jvc, i picked it up for 150 with remote and detatchable face. i have been happy with it. it is not glamorous, but never skips and has excellent playback quality.
