how many subs do you want?

Didnt you just post this on the Subwoofer side? I just spent 20 minutes digging up equipment to recommend!

AudioSeeker

Speaker size are 6'1-2 front and side are 5'1/4. Actually there is no rear but they are 6*9 For the sub, i'l like 2 10 inch cause there is not enought room. For the sub, i would like the most powerful or almost... (for any make) and one of the best amp. I know momo got some good but i don't really know them very well.

exalted512

how about one REALLY loud 12?
would that work?

AudioSeeker

Hehe, i'm new so don't ask to much! So who will tell me if it is a good choise MMc650 for the front, the MM525 for the side, the the MMC691 for the rear. I think its good choice but want about an amazing amp with a sub to go with it (4ohms)

exalted512

sweet
this sub
$370
this amp for that sub
$350
get www.sounddomain.com to match that price because they are authorized dealers and www.acaraudio.com is not
these utopias
$580
this amp for those speakers
$240
again, do the sounddomain thing again
this head unit
$400
thats $1940 right there
thats all the basic stuff you need
youll also need a box...prefab crap aint going to cut it, youre going to have to build it yourself or get it built by a shop
youll also need a 2nd battery and a battery isolator
get an optima yellow top
$160
2 pairs of these RCAs
$100
$2200 right there
for wiring, youre def. going to need 1/0 awg
id say 30ft to be on the safe side
30ft x $2.25 a foot at knukonceptz =$67.50
15ft of 4awg x $.99=$15
5ft of 8awg speaker wirex$1.50=$8
20ft of 12awg speaker wire x $.80=$16
$2310
add an extra $50 for misc. stuff like ring terminals, distro blocks, fuses
$2360
for the last $150, go to www.secondskinaudio.com
the owner's name is Ant, tell him you have $150 to spend, the type of car you have, and that you dont want rattles and that youre mainly concerned about the trunk
also tell him you heard about second skin from the car audio forums and hell give you a nice discount
that system WILL be better than your friends cars WITHOUT A DOUBT unless theyve spent a lot of money on their ****...
that will be one wicked system

Forum etiquette, You put snip so you don't have to copy a long post therefore reducing the precious seconds it takes others to scroll through a thread.

Beware on those Focal Utopias. Focal does not authorize any internet sales and so the ones you may be getting could be open box, repaired, or flat out rip offs. Whenever you see $1200 speakers advertised for $550, something is wrong.

MacLeod

Anyway, since I already posted everything including links on the subwoofer thread, Ill post the abbreviated version here.

Alpine $400 head unit
Diamond Audio M661 6.5 components $360
Diamond Audio CM3 12" sub x2 $200 each
MTX Thunder502 125x2 $300
MTX Thunder 801D 800x1 $425
Streetwires wires and interconnects

Is the MM6 a good choice?? reviews give amazing score. people say that theses are the best. Is it right?

swerve

www.shoryuken.com/forums/ has it alot... that's where i grew up, i've seen it a few other places but not to the extent of shoryuken.

Absolutely they are great speakers. There are better but for $300 you wont find a better speaker period. Add to that, that the MM6 can hang with $400 speakers and whip a lot of them outright!

It all depends on how much you want to spend. The MM6 is an awesome speaker but for $120 more you can have Focal Polyglass which sound a lot better. Whereas the $580 K2 Power by Focal are better still.

Me, I have a hard time paying more than $400 for a set of car speakers. Thats why my choices are the Polk MM6 for $300 or the Diamond Audio M661s for $360. the $430 Focal Polyglass is a strong maybe cause they do sound awful good!!

Notice he is from Canada. His $2500 is only worth $1,833.11 US.
