Car Audio Newbee

I can also vouch for the Focal & MBQuart speakers as many of my friends had them...the Bostons I had in my boat were the Pro Series (seperate mid/tweet)...and I have also had their plate speakers in another car...their high end stuff definitely sounded better than the plates which as Dlr states were etched. My infinity's...that was just in the beginning and as Dlr also says...too tame. The Polks were by far the worst to my ears...OUCH!

this was also all 8+ years ago...so my answers may be completely outdated.

Hey just get the new tube player from Panasonic, and then throw in the Eminent Technology car speakers and your new listening room will be your garage lol!
I just pray your sweet spot isnt on top the gear shift, can I get an ouuuuuuuuuch brutha?

Chad...you're one funny mo fo

Ok, that's wild, they really do make a car speaker at ET!!! I don't know how much I would like it though. To me their main speakers are a poor man's Innersound. Not that they are bad, you can get them cheaply, but just not my cup of tee. There is some guy on here who ever post tells someone to use them, I think he's a stock holder.

Anyway, here's what I think I am going to do:

Alpine IVA D300 head unit
Alpine NVE N852a Navigation unit
Alpine MRV - F540 4 channel amp
Infinity Kappa 682.7 CF 6 x 8 speakers (replacements, keeping some other speakers in the car)
Bazooka 10" 200w powered sub?

How's that sound?? May add a disc changer, but I usually go one disc at a time any way or add attach my iPod

the 6x9...or i guess 6x8 will most likely leave you "underwhelmed"...most of them left me that way until i ultimately switched to plates or separates...possibly something to do with round vs. oval drivers...who knows...I'd definitely consider ditching the stock car speakers.

for a list of what can fit in your car, crutchfield shows what speakers will fit in the factory cutouts...however...every decent sounding car system I have ever heard had the door panels butchered so that the better aftermarket speakers could fit.

bazookas are ok for the price

I like alpines...it would rarely skip in my boat

not a big fan of alpine amps...although the last one I heard was the V12 i think it was called...there are better amps out there for the money.

just my opinion though.

hope i'm not adding confusion
