[oneill584 10+ year member]

Hey guys, just got the 05 galant. System NEEDS to go. I really dont know much about systems and all that, so I've had a lot of help from the board. Let me know what you think of this setup.

Front Speakers-PHOENIX GOLD RSD-65CS RSD SERIES "6.5" 240 WATT COMPONENT CAR SPEAKERS (120 WATTS EACH)

Amp- Kicker zx350.2

Head- Pioneer DEH-P6000UB

I haven't looked into subs and an amp yet. But I'd like to stay under 450 for both. What do you guys think? Thanks a lot.

i think ur gonna be sorry if u use that zx150.2. thats only 60-65 wrms @ 4 ohms, i would use a at least a kx or zx 250 or 350.2 even with a 1K watts on ur subs ur gonna have a hard time getting loud enuff to hear.

Thanks just changed that up a bit..

 

[lil_italy773 10+ year member]

they were sellin the zx250.2 on fleabay for $110 shipped. 85 wrms @ 4 ohms my birthsheet say 316w. this amp is close to 100wrms just throwing that out there.

ditch the 6x9's and just run a set of comps up front...the rsd's would be fine with the right amount of power and proper install. And if you decide to get subs and a amp your going to want to have more than 350 to spend.

So your saying just leave the rear stock speakers in?

 

[wu501 10+ year member]

you don't really need rear speakers at all if your going to run a good comp set up front. You could leave the stock speakers in and run them off of the deck power if you feel the need for a bit of rear fill. There are tons of people that run only front speakers and are more than satisfied with the results.

tru i run only front comps and a extra set of active tweets, i wouldnt miss the rear fill if it was there.

Gotcha gotcha... Also I had a concern about this head fitting... It says my car is type J, and this is dual 1. I'm not sure if this means it is compatible.

I wouldn't ever buy a Power Acoustik HU.

agreed....save up for something better. They have a pioneer double din model #PIONEER AVH-P4000DVD that can be had for around 400 on ebay.

 

[oneill584 10+ year member]

Allright I revamped everything. I'd like to stay under 900 for everything including installation and wiring kits.

With those 3 items, I'm at about 380 shipped. This leaves me with 520 for wiring kits, installation, subs and amp.

What can you guys recommend for this price range?

 

[lil_italy773 10+ year member]

$380 for this shipped saving for it now clarion touch screen very nice

as far as comps go I would personally spend a few more bucks and get these:

I had both the rsd's and the pioneers and I preferred the pioneers much more.

and as far as subs go what size do you want? 10, 12, 15? a single sub or two subs? ported or sealed?

You can get a boston G5 12" sub off ebay for about 200 and they don't need a whole lot of power to sound good. RMS is only like 460 watts or something like that.
