First off i should say what i want is a nice sounding reasonable music set up for mostly rock (no need for loud thumping). Not looking to impress anyone or go to car shows, just want a function-able setup that will last. Also, i know next to nothing about the car audio world so i am heavily relying on this forum and my neighbor to learn what i can.
My neighbor does a lot of custom installs and suggested the following items based on what i was looking for;
Car - 2006 Mazdaspeed six (with a bose system i can't stand) By removing the 6 disc changer it also removes the climate control so i have to buy a special dash kit with these chips to retain the use of my heat and ac Amazon.com: Metra 99-7524B Mazda 6 Double and ISO DIN Radio Install Kit for 2006-08: Car Electronics
Headunit - Per his recommendation i picked out a JVC head unit. My main goal was to have both bluetooth to stream podcasts/pandora etc from my android phone and hook up my ipod classic to play my music JVC Mobile Entertainment \ 1-DIN CD Receiver - KD-A95BT \ Introduction
component set - Here is where i am relying on my neighbor he suggests COMP 6 INCH PF-CM650 EXTERNAL X/OVER - CAR AUDIO
subwoofer - I already have a kicker l7 that is probably close to 10 years old now. Again relying on my neighbor who is suggesting i switch to a lanzar opti series 10 inch sub since i am not looking for that hard hitting bass and apparently he gets a decent discount on them Lanzar OPTI10MI 10" Opti Pro 1000 Watt Midbass Speaker | 292-2594
amp - I currently have Kicker SX650.1 Mono subwoofer amplifier — 650W x 1 at 2 ohms at Crutchfield.com which he is letting up to me if i want to use or not. Thoughts?
Any input would be greatly appreciated, i am more than willing to listen to constructive criticism.
