[QUOTE="81turboTA, post: 4910697, member: 599473"] Hey all, Im James, a newcome to the forum. Im semi experienced in car audio, but am now learning many more technical aspects. I am sure Im going to learn way more than I thought on this forum [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif[/IMG] So, I have a 1981 ***** am turbo, and had an Ok system in it. An older clairion deck with a bazooka powered sub and 2 6x9's in back, 2 3.5's in the dash. Since then Ive gone to this using used parts from friends upgrading their cars -Denon DCT-R1 head unit with the copper case and silver front(got it today from a friend....this thing is jaw dropping!) Im not sure If im going to keep it though...its just 'too good' for my car.. -Eclipse 5.25" in the doors -old clairion 6x9 and 3.5" in the rear deck and dash -torque 1500W 2 channel amp (anyone heard of them? I got it cheap..) -2 CVR12 kickers in small individual boxes -Performance Teknique 1.5 Farad capacitor -old school pyle pro 200w 2 channel driving the door speakers 4 GA wires to the cap and amps, 8ga to the subs and 16 ga to the speakers. The denon unit really makes these speakers shine...however puts out SO MUCH BASS signal to the amp! I have my 1500W down to almost 1/3 the gain and it kicks HARD My main question is, Is the Denon really neccessary for a street car? I am really worried about it getting stolen..no detachable face plate either. What do you guys think? If I were to keep the Denon, I would probably run all the other 4 speakers of a 4 channel amp, as to not harm the head unit, which is rated at 4x25W, but very loud. I also need to dynamat the doors and trunk...desperately. The car just rattles to hell...but its 27 years old [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/rolleyes.gif.c1fef805e9d1464d377451cd5bc18bfb.gif[/IMG] Any critique or comments are helpful!
