budget

Doing some measuring and gandering around the Deltasaurus...it's clear I've gotta rethink my plans since available space I want to use is smaller than my old delta. For the time being I'm planning to do some temporary coaxials in the factory dash spots and 6x9s on the rear deck in boxes. Any...

for those that had ran both brands and model, which one would you rather prefer for the price between $999-$1,200 sub. I’m looking at Rockford T2 13 inch and a DD 9512. Which one will sound better and worth the $$$.

I have a 2018 civic hatchback so the trunk is connected to the main cabin. I got around $600 i can spend and can only really push it another hundred. i want to get a good subwoofer and amp that’s gonna be loud but id like it to be standard quality. I saw the Scar 12” sdr kit but have heard mixed...

Whats a good budget double din that plays cds, usb, sd slot, aux that has screen mirroring from phone as well as double dins same features but with android auto to download the torque app to read live vehicle obd2 data. Heres some from boss i think boss and planet audio are nice. The screen...

I’ve been looking at Morel Virtus 603. I do love their sound but adding up that $800 + an amp etc is making me second guess. Any recommendations to make a similar build as front stage, but cheaper I do like sound quality over super loud

Hi guys, this is my first time posting, so hopefully I'm in the right thread. If I'm not, please feel free to move this to the correct section moderators. I have a 2001 F250 XL that up until 2 days ago had the stock head unit, and I'm guessing stock speakers. Now I have a Pioneer MVH-S21BT...

I’m trying to figure out what subwoofers I want to invest in that will give me the best bang for my buck. I know I want 2 12’s or 10’s depending on the deal but can’t fit a 15 in my trunk. I was looking for something around the 1000 watt range so I wouldn’t have to upgrade my electrical system...

Hello, new to the forum and car audio in general. What are your guys preferred brands for certain things in car audio. Ex: amplifiers, 6x9s, tweeters, cross overs, signal processors and such. I’m looking to upgrade a few of these things being budget friendly too. Thanks guys

I'm sure these posts get put on here all the time, but I'm new to forums in general and the search function isn't quite functioning for me. I did see the post below this one but I didn't want to "jack"(?) his thread. I just got a 2017 civic and I'm just not too impressed with the sound system...

My friend just bought a 2005 Acura RSX and hes looking to replace the factory speakers and headunit, What would you guys recommend? For a budget but being good quality. He needs (2) 6.5's and (2) tweeters, as well as a Single DIN headunit. All for under $300

This was my old thread: http://www.caraudio.com/forums/general-discussion/619334-new-upgrading-mids-highs-best-brands-%24-brick-mortar-dealers-sell.html I've since made arrangements to just ship to a friend's house (duh, lol), so I don't need brick and mortar anymore. I'm probably going to get...

I haven't had a system in a little over 2 years, but what I did have was an Fi ssd12 fully loaded off a soundstream rub1600 in 3 cubes @ 35hz. I was very happy with this and don't want anything worse (less loud or worse sq) Also had 2 audiopipe txxapa12 blues off an ap1500 in a ****** prefab...

So a few months ago i put a kicker dx600.5 in my car. I have some real old sealed kicker 10's @ 2ohms. This amp will push 300W at 2ohms yet these kickers sound very bad. So is it possible to get nice loud bass out of 300W or should i buy a larger amp just for subs?

i'm pretty new the car audio stuff, but i have learned quite a bit from these forums. I have a 06 Nissan Altima i want to get a sub(or subs) and obviously an amp, i just don't know which ones to get. i plan on installing it myself and im looking for nice bass, not really loudness. I have a good...

I'm starting my cars first stereo system soon. I have an '06 Trailblazer. Currently I have stock everything in my car. I have 400-ish (500-600 if its worth it) to spend on my car. I have a friend who installs systems for fun, and will be having him help me install everything. But here's my...

Im helping a friend on getting his first sub. I've been metered at the headrest on tl 128.xx db with my old sub, pathetic I know but it was a single 8 on 250 watts. That's the only set up he's heard and he thought it was great at first but i know he wants loads more, as do I. I got my sa-15...

Hi! i recently have been doin an install on a 2001 Saturn SC2 3 door. It's for my little cousin and he wants 2 12" subs from either: FI, DC, DD, Soundstream, Kicker, or Rockford. He's got about $1000 for a headunit, mids and highs, and the subs. He wants your guys input on this instead of just...

So I am completely new at all of this car audio stuff. I have a 2003 Toyota Highlander with a Pioneer AVIC-Z1 head unit. Also, the speakers in my car are JBL, if that matters. I'm interested in buying some subs and an amp for the back of my car. I've heard Alpine Type-R's are good? I listen...

So I have a 2003 Toyota Highlander with a Pioneer AVIC-Z1 head unit. I'm thinking of buying a sub or two, an amp, and an enclosure. I listen to all types of music, but mostly hip hop. I also would rather have good sound quality rather than overpowering bass. Any suggestions? My budget is...

I'd really appreciate some advice. I've got about $250 and want some bass. I need everything, amp, sub, enclosure, wiring kit. After the research I've done I know this is an absurdly low amount for all this. I've got a e34 BMW 1992 525i sedan. The trunk is big but I've heard that there is too...

I am in the market for a new 10" sub to put into my custom smallish sealed box. I have about $300 to spend, but thought that I would find a great sub first(~$200), then match it to a cheaper (~$100) CEA 06 amp amp that would slightly underpower the sub at 2 or 1 ohm (i don't want to have to...

Hi, I've got an 03 Acura 3.2 TL w/o Navi. Stock Bose 6 disc changer has been removed because of a stuck CD and Acura wanting $400+ to replace. In its place is a Pioneer 50 WPC head unit mp3/wma with attached iPod cable for my iPhone. During the install process the tech has to disconnect the...

Hello, I have a 2000 honda accord SE, and am looking to upgrade everything. The head unit is a cheap rockford fosgate that the previous owner had installed, along with possibly the speakers, it says they are 30 watt pioneers on them, so not really sure. I want a new head unit that I can use my...
