[QUOTE="06g35meister, post: 6473672, member: 616686"] Hey all, my name is Kevin and I have a 2006 G35 that im about to put a full SQ-based system in. Ive read and read and read for weeks and finally decided to join. Here WAS my plan about 3 days ago, but im coming to the realization that I may be spending WAY to much for what im getting: -JDM Bezel (of course) -Kenwood Excelon DDX814 or DNX-9140, MUST have 13 band EQ (alternatives?) -JL: Either 900/5HD OR 450/4v2 and 500/1v2 amps(opinions on the tradeoffs?) -JL ZR650Csi front components -JL C2-650x or TR650-Cxi coax rears (will i need these for fill, will the TR's do the job or should i step up to the C2's? assuming no need for coax) -Single JL 12W7 in custom box -Tons of matting -Cables, wiring (0, 2, or 4 gauge?),etc OK, so now on to the questions i have. REARS/FILL: What is your opinion of "Fill" or adding rear speakers to the system, if tuned properly, will a G35c need the rear fill, or should the fronts take care of me. I'm looking for a purely SQ system that will be loud enough to show, but not compete. I want it to be loud, but without sacrificing quality. The rear deck is 6x9 and thats where i will be throwing the speakers in, theres no real room for large aftermarket speakers in the rear panels. (1.5" depth and .5" cover) HEAD UNIT: What are your opinions of DD head units vs Carputers. I'm very technical and am posting on a custom built i7 that was easy for me to throw together. I know i can throw together the computer and wire it up, but as far as reliability, what are your opinions overall of the applications? EQULIZATION: Talk to me about EQ range settings, i know the DDX814 has 13 EQ bands, is there such thing as an "infinite" EQ band setup on a computer where it is just a line that each point can be manipulated? This would seem to make the carputer worth the trouble to get the best sq possible. AMPS: I would love to find an all in one amp to cover the spectrum of the setup, preferably 125-150/4 and 500-750/1. Recommendations for HIGH SQ amps, ive looked at ARC, JL, Sunshine (european, available in america?), DLS, etc, and none seem to stand out for me. OR will i get better reliability/SQ out of individual amps for the components and sub. Post up any questions you may have for me, i know i am new to the site but hopefully i gave enough information for what i would like from the finished product. I thank each and every one of you for your responses and answers to my questions. Im sure ill have more, so ill update this post as i think of them. Budget is 3k (everything installed on my own) or 2k (installed for me, installation is 1k) still havent decided whether i wanna take apart my car myself or have someone else do it for me. [/QUOTE]
