Aztek system

[beweav 10+ year member]

One of my friends has a Pontiac Aztek, Its pioneer from factory . It is amazing, clear, pretty powerful, no rattles, and the bass isnt overpowering. Could you guys tell me what I need, to have a sound system like that.

if a factory setup is your referance....then you just need to upgrade your headunit and speakers

if thats not enought add a sub and amp

if you still want more get an amp and some component speakers

I got 2 rocksford fosgate 10"s in a costum box with a 760watt pioneer amp, and 2 6x9 200watt pioneers. that just doesnt cut it //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/eyebrow.gif.fe2c18d8720fe8c7eaed347b21ea05a5.gif its got bass but you cant feel the bass as much as in a aztek, its more if just a sound. Its just not as clear, maybe its the way its built. can you tell me what you just said without abreviations( SQ, HU) and what are tuning features? sorry i am a noob //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

You got to take into account that your subs aren't getting 760W all the time. I'm guessing your amp is rated at max 760W but RMS somewhere in the 200W range. You're 6x9s aren't getting 200W either, prolly around 15W from your head unit only. The Aztek may sound better cause it has a more powerful amp powering the subs and/or an amp for the component speakers as well.

^^^This. If you dont want much, which you dont. Go find a amp that is rated at 200 to 600rms (actual power) not peak numbers, peak numbers mean nothing. With a Headunit (HU) that has some nice tunning features, and some good components. For the application your asking about if you were getting 750rms you wouldnt be saying it wasnt enough. Oh and Id say tune your box around 38hz to 40hz IMO.

this is the HU(lol) I have.Dual XDMR7700 CD player with MP3/WMA playback at Crutchfield.com

So what are you saying? I need a biger amp, and is that head unit enough for my 6x9s?

PMed bro

Your headunit is looking to put out around 22W RMS (think of it as constant power) to your 6x9s and any other rear/front speakers you have. This should be a slight upgrade over a stock headunit in a generic sedan car but I'm not sure about a Bose system in an Aztek. Should get you some decent sound but the headunit doesn't look to have any variable EQ, only presets to chose from. Most likely they'll be like Pop, Rock, Flat, Bass, Jazz, or something. Some higher end headunits have the ability to change the EQ much like you would in iTunes or whatnot for fine adjustment to the sounds. As to whether or not your headunit will be enough for your 6x9 is hard to say. It should be an improvement over your current set-up. It will not have a lot of bass coming from the 6x9 only from your subwoofer. If the Aztek seems to have a rather bass-y sound coming from the 6x9 speakers, consider getting an amp for your 6x9s. Amplfying them should improve the midbass of your overall system, not just your subwoofer pounding out the lows (unless thats what you want).
