Firex18 Posted February 24, 2007 Share Posted February 24, 2007 I've been trying to exploit my 95 xe and I've read some intersting hurdles on trying to upgrade the audio system. All I want to do is add 50w mosfet stereo and 100+rms watts min amp, w/ 300watt 5X7s'. What's the best component speaker system for the front that can handle such amps and be able to fade in the rear w/o/ having to go ape excrement and re-do all the wiring.If I have to, well alright, I've always enjoyed a chalenge, but I'll still need some type of wiring diagram if availble. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

govols74n Posted February 24, 2007 Share Posted February 24, 2007 I run audio bahn, they are extremely clear and dont get distorted....I like them. I wouldn't use Sony Xplode door speakers. Tried them.....garbage. :asleep: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
89_trailboss Posted February 24, 2007 Share Posted February 24, 2007 unless chromo makes thing sound better, audiobahn is crap. like was stated, there are a few of us on here that know whats what. just ask and we can help and HELLO!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
govols74n Posted February 24, 2007 Share Posted February 24, 2007 (edited) If audio bahn was crap, they wouldn't be winning competitions all over the world....they just aren't as well known as some others yet...yes, audiobahn sells their lower level @!*% speakers, but you get what you pay for...imo. Now I've seen Fosgate, JVC, and Kickers blow the windshield wipers off of cars, but most of those "types" are way out of my budget, and also pretty much un called for. I've also watched guys blow away the competition with audiobahns....it all depends on which ones you get and how you hook them up. I've seen alpines do ok and have seen them crap....I think I ran Alpines back in 1993-94....needed something newer.

Extreme90path Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 (edited) I am Running a Sony CDX-FW700 Head unit, with Infinity References in the Front and Rear (6.5 and 5x7 i think in the rear), a 12" Rockford P1 Sub in a ported box and last but not least a Rockford P2002 Amp for the sub at 810 max watts, 270 RMS watts (bridged) and 84 rms watts per channel. I installed it all myself, and it ended up costing me about 600 bucks for the lot of it. I went for a full concert type sound. Clear,full and precise sound. No ear blowing bullcrap, though if I want to, I can turn up the sub, then things get a lil loud! xD OH and don't forget the Dynamat. That suff made the pathy SOOOO much quieter!

Thanks If you are talking about just fading to the rear speakers to avoid distortion instead of using cross-overs, just look at the watts and ohms that you want probably 4....if you are doing it that way, just use a mono amp to power your subs...or are you trying to put power to the highs? For something as small as what tou want, just talk to someone at Best Buy, or a car audio place....then go find what's recommended on Ebay....

88pathoffroad Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 My Audiobahn sub has worked flawlessly for more than 5 years for me. I don't see why the brand name should be called crap just cause one person doesn't like them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
89_trailboss Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 (edited) I would agree with you 88 if I was the only person that though this. but im not. I may be the only person on this board that thinks this, but how many serious audio guys are there on this site? I am more of an audio freak then most on this board and I do take this stuff seriously. for the average person that just wants some sound, nothing wrong with audiobahn. but for someone that has an ear for this stuff, I cant and dont consider audiobahn to be anywhere near par.

Extreme90path Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 I have never had personal experience with Audiobahn, so yeah. But I would go for a nice set of blaupunkt subs. I have hears some great stuff from them, even though they kind of are the underdog of the stereo world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
govols74n Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 Anyway, this thread is shot...but out of the 20 or so competitions that I have watched....I have never seen Alpine win one....(your sig) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pavelow Leaks Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 Alpine is a good brand, I wouldn't consider it "high end" audio though. Everyone has their favorite brands and own opinions on what's good and whats good enough, it really depends on how much cash you want to drop on a system, and how loud you want to crank it before it will distort. Eclipse (Fujitsu Ten) is my choice. Bottom line, go to a reputable audio shop, not circuit city/best buy/audio express, and listen to some speakers, or find someone you know that has a system you like. It's all personal preferance, just buy what you like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
