Same here, I used to listen to that stuff too, I guess I've calmed down a bit as I've gotten older, so I listen to more mellow stuff now, but I still crank up some metal or hardcore occasionally. I haven't heard CoF in a while, but, taking your advice, I won't bother with the new album.

Also forgot to ask, would I be better off going with a 10" rather than 12" sub for this typs of music? Only reason I ask is because it seems like the bigger speaker is more suited to booming bass, and I'm looking for more punchy, precise bass.

So, seems like when I asked what sub I should get for overall sound quality in the $100 range, it was a resounding "AA Assassin". However, it seems to me that a lot of the people recommending this speaker have not even heard one and are just jumping on the bandwagon. There are so many other...

So, I'm going to run a 4-channel amp to my coaxial speakers for some extra power, and I'm also planning on adding a sub/sub amp combo, but I have no idea where to go here. I'm on a budget for the whole thing, I don't want to spend a lot of money. I'm looking for something with SQ. It doesn't...

I have this amp, and I'm running 4 6.5" speakers in my car. They're not high end components or anything, just some Alpine SPS-17C2 coaxials. They actually sound very good, but I'm going to add a sub/amp combo and figured I should amp the speakers as well. I have a 200watt, 40-channel JBL...

Anybody?

I just installed my base system. For my budget, it sounds incredibly good. All I have in my car right now are 4 coaxial 6.5" Alpine speakers (Which are kickass and cheap as dirt), and a a Kenwood Excelon x890 (Which is even more kickass). I'm ready to take the next step to improve sound...

So I've decided to just go ahead and use this Amp I have sitting around for my system. I'm on a budget to get some slightly better sound quality and enhanced bass. I listen to rock and just want some fuller, punchy bass above what 6.5" speakers can offer. I've decided to go with just one sub...

Occassionally, depends on its mood

Anyways, I have some speakers and an Excelon HU in my car now, and I was thinking about adding an amp and just one 10 or 12" sub in the near future. I was going to buy an amp, but then I realized I have this amp just lying around from a few years back. Now, mind you I bought the thing when I...

I paid 272 at onlinecarstereo.com, I'm sure you could find them for less. I am not running it amped, the power output is fine for me, I don't listen to music till my ears bleed, and the sound is extremely clean and detailed even at higher volume levels, though since the speakers are new, I...

I absolutely love this thing! I just got my x890 installed with some alpine coaxial speakers.. I know, the speakers aren't that great, but it sounds incredible! I'm so glad I chose the Kenwood, it's the best sounding system I've had in any of my cars so far. I spent about an hour tweaking the...

I ordered an x890 and it's coming tomorrow (YAY!). Anyways, I ordered it based on reviews and recommendations. I finally got the chance to hear a kenwood HU in action and I though the sound quality was very good untouched, however, the unit I heard was not an Excelon but a sub $150 unit. Does...

I bought two pairs of 6.5" Alpine coaxial speakers on the recommendation of a few different people. Since I never have the time to drive out somewhere that I can actually hear speakers myself, I was trusting the words of experts. I actually finally got the chance to listen to these speakers...

Hello, I just recently bought 4 6.5" Alpine coaxial speakers, and a Kenwood X890 unit that I am waiting for in the mail right now. Once I get them installed, I will begin considering upgrading my system a bit. I've only ever had one amp/sub combo before. It was two 12" MTX subs that sounded...
