Hey all, joined the forum because I had a few questions and concerns about my system and future improvements to it.
I drive a 97 Yukon and recently redid its entire audio system, replaced the head unit, bought new speakers, an amp and a sub-
Head unit- http://www.crutchfield.com/S-ivLW9aG...H-P3100UB.html
Amp- http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_...h+P5000.5.html
front 6 1/2 speakers- http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_...cker+DS60.html
back 6x9 speakers- http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_...6930.html#tabs
sub- http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_...+TCE4512A.html
Its a pretty modest system, and also my first. Its sounds good, but my main problem with it is the speakers dont get loud enough for my liking, as the sub can completely drown them out when i have it loud. My amp Also gets VERY hot, it burns me if i press down on it after cranking it for about 20 mins, and it shuts down. Guessing my gain is to high.
I'm looking into buying a new amp to run in addition to my current one. i had my eyes on this one http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_...h+P1800.4.html . I would be hooking my 4 main speakers up to it, so i can crank them without the amp overheating and shutting down, and as for my old amp id just keep my sub hooked up to it, and possibly tweeters.
That leads me to my next question though, im looking into buying some nice 3 way 6 1/2's for the front to replace my current ones, and if i did that would it still make sense for me to buy seperate tweeters?
Basically im just looking for some suggestions or corrections, as Im not to sure what would benifit my system the most, any help would be appreciated, and if it matters, I mainly listen to metal, rock/hardcore type stuff, and techno
thanks.
