Hi, I'm looking at trying to get a budget 10" SQ sub for me lil car. Comparitively, the CDT EF-100 and Infinity Reference 1050W both are 250W RMS @ 4 ohms for a relatively cheap price. ($90 and $70 respectively) Trunk usage limits me to 1 sub as well, even though its not that much more expensive...

So, I just installed my new headunit as my first upgrade in car audio (it was a lot of fun not having the right tools), and I was cranking it a bit. I decided I'd go out and do a test drive and get some gas, but I first had to brush some snow off of the car (I installed the HU in the middle of...

Ok, so it sounds like for really good performance for the driver, disregard rear fill. So how does it end up sounding for other passengers? I'd like good sound for chillin with my friends filling up the car. Additionally, the most "critical" use of a good sound system for me would be driving to...

Forgive my n00bishness, but whats the deal with comps and rear decks? I haven't seen a single mention of what to do with the rear deck if I get comps for the front. If I get nice comps in the front (with amp), should I not even bother with the rear deck? Or should I get some semi-decent coax's...

Fortunately I belive they are not the same, as the models changed from 95 to 96, my car is the first year of the 'new' model. Ok, so what I'm thinking of doing is... getting 4 of those Phoenix Gold RSd 6.5 Coax's (cuz I found out the rsd comps are $130), and getting baffles for them. But that...

Where might I find said setup? Crutchfield is offering $300 for the amp and $130 for the sub alone, not to mention I would need cables and a box. Or am I correct in getting the impression that Crutchfield is only where the n00bs shop? (Which of course what I am as far as car audio goes)

Wow, after looking them up, they look to be a very hot option. For the price of a coax of another brand, I can afford the components of the Phoenix Golds. Unfortunately, I'm not sure what I would have to do to place the tweeter in my car. Any quick and dirty reccomendations if I go the component...

I'm really not too worried about the depth, I just mentioned it to avoid any behemoth speaker suggestions.

Hi all! I know I probably don't belong on this experienced audiophiles forum, but I figured I should ask the best. Anyway, I've got a '96 Saturn SL2 which has the most panzycrap OEM speakers I've ever heard. I just ordered a new HU so I can play my iPod and CDs (Kenwood MP2035). I have also...
