First Audio Setup Help Please

[Daonis]

Hi,

First I would like to start by saying I have absolutely 0 knowledge of car electrical / audio. So please keep the flaming / trolling to a minimum. I am trying to find a complete setup for a 2013 Hyundai Gen Coupe 2.0T. I am looking for something that is around 1k or less preferably and I obviously want the best bang and quality for my buck. Any kind of help would be greatly appreciated whether it is a link to a setup or multiple different suggested items or even a brand. Thanks.

What are your goals? Get as loud as possible? Sound as good as possible?

What are you looking to do? New stereo? Subs? Door Speakers? Full front components?

How Much trunk space do you have or how much are you willing to give up?

Are you planning on attempting the install your self? or pay a shop to do it.. I would suggest to keep reading up on here and doing it yourself.. will save you tons of money!!

You're probably going to want to get a new headunit... At least that's what most people do with cars if they really want to be able to customize their listening experience. If you want to spend $1k, unfortunately 40-50% of that might be on a headunit, depending on what you're looking for.

Edit: it all really depends what you're looking to do, and how good your factory head unit is, and whether it has RCA outs.

I would like to sound as loud as possible while still having good quality. I am also willing to sacrifice the entire trunk. And if it's not overly complicated and I can find a guide or a vendor that can walk me through it setting it up myself would be preferred. As far as the trunk measurements itself I am not sure what they are at the moment I don't even have the car yet to be honest I am about to get back from a deployment come late October...

Also I want subs and I want the highs to be able to keep up with the bass I'm a pretty big dubstep and house music fan if that helps any?

I checked out Team Crossfire and it looks really nice ( I still don't understand the specs) but there is no price listings or where to order?

 

[mylows10 5,000+ posts]

because you have to go to a shop or by used

 

[Daonis]

Ahh, is DC Audio the same way? They don't ship their equipment and allow you to set it up themselves?

Edit: And would I likely jack it up?

The following is for a good, balanced quality system for @ $975.00 And this is about the best budget equipment you are going to find with SQL in mind. The following should be everything you need for the install with the exception of some 14ga remote wire, some 12ga speaker wire and some short lengths of 10ga sub wire

I would focus on installing these in the front. Mount the tweets up on the dash corners, or window pillars on axis to bring the imaging up and out in front of you.

WoofersEtc.com - CTX65CS - Image Dynamics 6.5" Component Speaker System

Amp up the front stage and leave the rears stock on the HU. PPI hit a home run with these little tiny amps, clean and underrated:

WoofersEtc.com - P600.2 - Precision Power 2-Channel 1200 Watt Max Class D Amplifier

About the best deal on a good sub that will take 1000w rms like a champ, shop around for someone to put you together a plan for the right box that fits your trunk for it to get low n' loud.

SSA Store - SKAR Audio VVX Sub woofer

Again, another PPI home run:

WoofersEtc.com - P1000.1 - Precision Power Monoblock 2000 Watts Max Class D Amplifier

Tap into the front or rear HU L/R speaker outs with this:

WoofersEtc.com - LC2i - Audiocontrol 2-channel line output converter

run 2 sets of these from the LOC to the highs and bass amps Or shorter, depending on where you locate the Lc2i:

Knukonceptz product detail for KLARITY RCA CABLE 2 CHANNEL RCA KABLE 5 METER

Run the 0ga from the battery to the distro block. mount the distro block by the amps. In the fuse selection menu, choose the 150a for the fuse holder near the batt, do a 80a for the distro sub amp side and a 50a for the distro highs amp side:

0 GAUGE DUAL AMP POWER KIT

joo can doo it...do some homework and just do it.

I am just giving you ideas for new equipment with a warranty.. maybe someone else can come up with a better plan for your $

It looks pretty good too me the only thing I am mainly worried about is that I want the wiring/ entire setup to look clean and I'm scared to death I'm going to **** up my brand new car xD.... Also how much more would it cost me to get the **** LED lighting ect built into the box if I could i want it to look like its built into the trunk //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif
