I would suggest:

CDT for drivers.

JL Audio for subs. One 10" 10W6V2 or 10W7 will hit hard and be very clear.

Butler Tube Driver, ArcAudio or JL Audio for amps.

Ology for mids

JL W6v2, Alumapro Alchemy, etc. for subs

Zapco, Arc, Jl, for amps, there are many to choose from

what is your budget?

D5 series amps have awesome bang for the buck...

I agree with the above about the mids //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

As for the subs -- the above look good -- what about Soundsplinter -- AA would be nice... I assume they will be back up and running???

hate to break it up to you guys, but i'm from brunei, and all of the brand that you have mentioned are unavailable here except for JL... :-s

What about import fees, buying slightly used stuff from the States or wherever?

 

[scarysoul 10+ year member]

unfortunately, all shop here in brunei tend to increase their labour charges by 2 - 3x should i get item not from their shop... and more unfortunate is i dont know any DIY... *sigh*

anyway...

i went to this shop and he offer to install the following set...

One Lanzar HTG434 Amp (4 channel 1200 watt) connected to 2 pair of OPTI6C component (250watt rms each)

One Lanzar OPTI2000D Amp (2000 watt mono block) connected to 2 Lanzar OPTI1234D woofer (1100watt rms each)

all of it cost roughly around usd2,100 without discount yet... what do you think? good bargain? good setup?

(ps: other items not included yet)

btw... say i want to put 3 woofer, should i just stick to the 2000watt amp or use 4000watt amp? but should i use the 4000watt, wouldnt it be better if i put 4 woofer instead?

does by putting a two-way coaxial speaker in your system really help or makes it sound better/louder? eg 2 set of components plus 1 or 2 set of coaxial speaker...
