Build My New SQ System

[bass_lover1 10+ year member]

No he doesn't. that's a very common misconception.
ESPECIALLY for a 2-way system.

If I were starting new, I could build up a very nice 2-way setup for under $4k and that includes all install materials.

But, I would also be hounding the classifieds to save even more. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

1st time I heard that.

4500 is a lot of money, especially since this doesn't include installation.
I've probably spend about 4500 on 3 different setups, first two were on the cheaper side (price wise) the last one has cost me quite a bit...regardless.

The Clarion 9255 and Pioneer P9 combo are both great HU choices, but do you need to run a 3-way active front stage, plus sub, or is two way going to do it for you? If 2-way is fine, then the 880 is a very nice choice, I love mine to pieces.

Amps: You don't need to buy Zapco to achieve good sound quality, just because you have that 4500 limit, doesn't mean you need to spend all of it, when you come in under that budget (you will) invest it into something. There's a lot of great amplifiers out there that might not have the same stature as something like Zapco, but that doesn't mean they're any worse, my personal preference is Linear Power, but they're hard to come by so unless you want to search for months, going with the bigger mainstream brands isn't bad. The Memphis amps are supposedly a great deal for the price. Alpine's PDX amps are a bit pricier than Memphis, but supposedly very well done. Also, apparently Kenwood's new eXcelon amps are a great bargain in the performance/dollar ratio.

Front Stage: I'd run active, single best thing I ever did for my musical experience. Don't be afraid to try out drivers you've never heard, I bought mid midbasses on a whim and fell in love with them. There are tons of great home audio speakers out there that work very well in car, DO NOT be afraid of the 8ohm impedance either, IMO it doesn't mean much to me at low power levels compared to most people's substage of 1kw plus, where something like 500 or 1000 watts is audibly different.

Speaking of substage, have you thought about where you're going to put it? My guess is you don't have a lot of room, I would think 2 8s or 2 10s would be sufficient, but then again i'm not a bass head so 2 10s to me is just fine.

Also, sound deaden the crap out of you cab, this will make a huge impact on quality. It'll help block out road noise, engine noise, and lower break-ups that could be caused by panel resonation. Add in some closed cell foam to that as well, it helps absorb unwanted noises as well.

Hope this helps some.

nice post! //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/cool.gif.3bcaf8f141236c00f8044d07150e34f7.gif wouldn't mind hearing your setup either.

I'm still convinced that two way active frontstage is the best of "easy to install" and "sounds great" worlds.

i don't understand why so many don't listen to the recomendations or think it's that hard. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/veryhappy.gif.fec4fed33b4a1279cf10bdd45a039dae.gif

Every time you post over on DIYma, I always read bikini, and I don't know why.

Flipx99: I agree, it seems over whelming at first, but once you realize that it's not much harder than installing regular components, it's worth it. I actually felt that my active setup was easier to tune than my old Alpine X comps, only because I can do all the tuning from my HU, the X crossover was a bit of a pain to swap the jumpers especially when they were mounted in my trunk.

jblayz1: Thank you //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif. When the DIYma forum gets back up and running, there is a thread over there, we're trying to get a FL gathering together, we have a tentative date of January 12th, no location yet though. I'll be there, I'm sure no one would have a problem with you going, it's always nice to get some advice from other people. I don't think my setup is anything spectacular, it wont win any competitions, but I didn't set out to do that anyway, I wanted it to perform well with the music I listen to, and I feel I accomplished just that.

Awwww, I almost shed a little tear there, for just a sec.
Now for reality. Hey Mr Enthusiast who just wants to pay his bills, this site is not your personal advertising space. If every pimple faced salesman came here trying to push his goods, this place would be over run with them. So, I will ask you nicely, stop trying to turn this board into your free commercial. Enthusiast or not, it is NOT welcome here, got it? If you think Ive gotten nasty in this thread, you've never seen me get nasty before.

Sell your shit locally, come here for information. Period. And frankly, trying to sell Steg to Americans, from Australia, is retarded. I sincerely hope you have a better business model than you have so far shown us.

a private seller offering a product for sale is much different than a dealer offering something for sale.

a private seller would most likely sell off his extra used gear for a good price or even lose out on the deal. you on the other hand will just be making profit.

also thanks for turning this thread into shit with your horrible run-on infomercial gibberish.
