I have alpine type R's right now but it's only because i'm waiting for my MB Quart Premium 6 1/2"s to come in. I'm in northern virginia (Leesburg) if you're ever up this way.
Got the amp hooked up. The MB Quarts haven't come in yet so I still have the stock rears and some alpine 6 1/2" type R components in the front. I'm hesitant to turn up the amp because the speakers aren't rated that high. Sounds ok...but I anxiously await the MB's. The sub is LOUD! It's a 10w6v2...
Well, i'm on my way. I did the wiring last night. 4 Gauge power wire from the battery to the trunk. What a pain going through the small rubber boot through the firewall!! I ran the power wire along the passenger side door sills and the 3 sets of RCA's, 9-in-1 speaker wire and CD Changer cable...
The dealer is just installing the 4 speakers. I'm installing the amp. For now, i'll probably just put it under the passenger seat. Nobody ever sits in my back seat so i'll put something on the floor to cover up the end of the amp if it sticks out further than the seat does. Then i'll start...
I've been flip flopping back and forth with the JL VR and XR series components or the MB Premium components. I've decided to go with the MB Quart Premium 6 1/2" components. I liked the sound of the MB's more...a softer and cleaner sound as compared to the JL (in my opinion). My local dealer has...
I just spent the last 40 mins looking for something to make up my mind for me. I'm doing front and rear speakers. I've got (in the mail) a JL 500/5 amp (100x2, 25x2, 250x1), 10w6v2 sub, and i'm in the process of deciding on 4 speakers. Components in front, coaxials in rear. The jl shop near me...
I've had a few different front 6 1/2" separates in the past, JBL, Boston Acoustics, and I've always thought they lacked mid bass. I've always had them amped well and with a sub. I think i'm going to go with the 5x7's. I'm sure they will be fine and the possibility of having more midbass than 6...
That's what I thought too about the oval speakers. However, the local JL dealer said they are not worse than the rounds at all. What don't you like about the XR series? The JL dealer thought the MB Quart's were better than the JL's. I just can't make up my mind!
I know this topic has been beaten to death, but my questions are fairly new. What is the popular opinion on 5x7 speakers vs 6 1/2? speakers? I'm talking separates..specifically the JL's. Opinions wanted please (especially 1sty who seems to be the audio king!)
Also, if I went the 6 1/2" route, I...
Does anyone have this unit? You can get it for about $850 on ebay. I really want to get it but I'd like to know if it will fit for sure. Anyone have it? Here's a link...
Kenwood DDX-7015
What do you all think? (cool)
I just bought mine last month... 2002.5, sunroof, polished wheels, 6disc, 29k, excellent condition. I paid 10,800 in Virginia for it and am VERY happy with it! I'll add pictures to my sig soon.
kenwood makes a double din screen and you can get nav for it too. I'm looking to get it for my P5. Not 100% sure it fits, but I don't see why not. I think it's the kenwood ddx-7015 or something. look on ebay..about $900.
I disagree with most of you. My experience of kenwood is all positive. I have had 3 different head units (sold car with it in) and many amps. Good value for money and never had a problem. Now I have an excelon 859 HU, x650D 5 channel amp, excelon 10 disc changer, another regular kenwood 10 disc...
Thanks for everyone's input. I did a search and read a bunch of posts before I started this thread. Just wanted to get a specific answer. I'm going with Kartboy. The deciding fact was the cupholder comment...you never know how much you miss a cupholder until you don't have one!!! My 1990 Audi...
