It was a regular auction. really pointless to give you the sellers name (he has nothing to sell now)

But I just put the amp in and it super much better than what I had. Next for me is HIDs.

Alpine SPX 17 pro

Image Dynamics CTX65cs

Pioneer TS C720PRS

Morel Tempo 6

TEMPO 6's ALL DAY EVERYDAY!

They will not disappoint, I've got a buddy with these in his car and he loves them. They are so clear and the bass is so smooth. If you were to keepthese and upgrade the amp, you could feed as much power you want to these without them popping. They are simply amazing.

But, the ID's are pretty good for sound quality also. They are both pretty comparable, but the Tempo's are so nice imo.

 

[manslayer]

My system consists of:

Pioneer Premier DEH790BT
Alpine SPR 6.5c
Alpine SPR 69c
Alpine MRP 550-4
Rockford Fosgate 12" P3's
Hifonics 1600

It's aight. Looking to get some RE SE's or IDQ's pretty soon instead of the P3's. Also looking to ditch the speakers for some Tempo 6s.

Once that is done, then my system will be ppppppuuurrrrreeeeee ssssssseeeeeeexxxxxxx

I'm looking to invest into a sound system
I guess I should start with explaining what car and I have and what I'm looking for. I have a 2007 Chevrolet Impala LS. it has 6 speakers, 2 on the door,Two 1 1/2 inch tweeters by the front window, and 2 rear speakers above the back seats. My speakers and my deck are factory; I have the standard Impala deckwith the AUX input and such.

I'm looking for some 10" speakers with an nice size amp for me to actually beat loudly with a nice clear sound.

My question is for me to get a system with a nice sound and beat would I have to get a new deck and new interior speakers? Or will I be fine with the currentset-up and all I need would be the subwoofers and amp? Thanks for the help.

 

[chrisl5mavs]

ok NT, so i need a bit of advice...
im picking up my new car which is an 05 civic lx with factory 6 disc changer, 2 front speakers, 2 tweeters in the front, and two 6x9's behind the rearseats close to the rear window..

im getting a deal at a local electronics mom&pop that includes a kenwood kac-7204 (1000 watts), and my choice of either two 10 inch kicker CVR's, OR,two 12 inch Kicker Comps, all for about 400 bucks even.. no tax. with installation...

now, i want to have as much trunk space as possible, but i still want a decent system... i dont want to stunt all over the place.. but i do want to impress ifi want to..
it all comes down to which subs are the best, the 10 inch CVR's or the 12 inch Comps.


EDIT: the headunit WILL be switched out for a Pioneer DEH-3000IB that i had in my old civic... the way i see it, the headunit will power the tweeters and the4 stock speakers and the amp will only power the subs

 

[youngtriz]

yo monday.... what do you think about this?? you know ive been looking for a good min for a deal... but i think i might just jump on this...
dude wants $400 but im gonna offer $350
