Help me make something unique...

[mastarecoil 10+ year member]

I am looking to build a new stereo in my 2003 Taurus. I am going for great sound quality, good loudness, and good budget-wise.

So far I have an Aura 4 channel (4300) and Aura 2 channel (2300) amp from parts express. Going to use the 2 channel for subs and the 4 channel for speakers. I _may_ send the 4 channel back and get another 2 channel, if I decide to ditch the rear speakers, but thats undecided right now.

I am going to get a descent set of components for the front. Perhaps a set of OZ audio 6.5" comps, those seem to be a great bang for the buck, but I am still looking around, open to any suggestions.

For the rears, I have a set of kenwood 2 way 6x9"s. They are pretty good, used to be door speakers in my old car. Again, not sure if I want to use them or not, but if I do, they dont cost me any extra.

Subs is where I want to go unique. I first started looking at a set of 10s or 12s, but then began looking elsewhere. For a while I had my mind pretty much made up on 4 AA assassin 8". Now, I am considering more unique...

How do you think an array of 16 goldwood 6.5" woofers would do? At partsexpress they can be picked up for as little as 10 bucks a pop. Fits my budget well, and definitally has big unique points, however, is my quality going to be worth a hoot? Quality is my biggest priority, but I will sacrafice some for the unique factor. Does anyone know what I could expect from doing this? Or does anyone know if those little woofers will even work well as a subwoofer? Any input here would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks guys!

Here is what I was refering to with the goldwood 6.5" speakers:

If you're going for unique, how's about 4 of these?

They'll reach low enough.

Yeah...when I was thinking four 8"s I debated between the Tangs and the Assassins, but thought assassins becuase of the three year warrenty.

Do you think the 6.5"s will reach low enough? If there was any drawback to them I would imagine it being them not getting low enough, that and the huge *** box I would need for 16 of em.

plus 16 is a wiring mess... i would go with the AA over those. just cuz 16 woofers is going to more of a hassle than needed. and i haven't heard em, but i am guessing that you will be happier with the sound of the assassins

i dont sell boxes, just plans. and everyone who has one is plenty happy. and we didnt get metered, but i believe i had one 12 in the upper 140's in a buddies car. so speak when you KNOW what your talking about, and seems like lately, you shouldnt talk very much at all.

You "believe" you had one 12 in the upper 140's... and you say I don't know what I'm talking about //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crying.gif.ec0ebefe590df0251476573bc49e46d8.gif

I know I've built plenty of 150+ setups, and a few 155+ setups... I don't "believe", I know.

we didnt have a mic, but ive heard plenty of setups that reached 145+ and this was no different. no shit u cant hear a db level, but you can get a **** good idea.

i will update u when the kid gets metered with his SX.

You brag about a maybe score...

Frankly, as far as the number goes, I don't care either way... but when you talk about me, check yourself first.

Hey guys, as much as I appreciate you kids hijacking my thread to have a sissyboy slappy fight, maybe someone has some input on the goldwoods or other sub ideas for me?

PatFitz9 - Wiring 16 subs is no big deal to me...cutting out 16 holes might be a pain, but Id be plenty willing to do it if these would work. Has anyone out there ever happened to hear these goldwoods (or similar sized/priced sub)?
