RX-8 Owners

[Renesis 10+ year member]

that opens so many options. nice me personally? i would do 2 10" mach 5 ixl's (or 12's if you have room) with a sundown 1000d, or even a 1500d. (actually i would use rf amps, but you stated no rockford, so ok) do you have any sort of budget?

right now i have nothing. but i'm trying to save up. I have to pay some medical bills off before i really have extra. trying to get a 2nd part time job as well. I'm probably looking to spend around 500 or so but that's in the future.

i've done my first car show when i first bought my car and took 2nd since then i've done a few things to it as you can tell by my sig.

crutchfield is overpriced and dont have alot of great brands but offer great customer sevice and warranty programs ...

 

[Renesis 10+ year member]

best customer service you will ever get but it is a bit pricey

i've only bought cd players so i was wondering if their speakers/amps/etc was good quality.

 

[zack39648 10+ year member]

not the best of the best

they have Kicker KS series coax's on sale half price this month. they would be a good start unless you wanted to jump into a component setup

ahh that's good to know. it's so hard to decide what i want to work with sub/amp wise there's so many nice ones out there. but i know i'm going to have to have a custom box done. the way mine sits now it's literally shoved in there i would much rather have a custom box that correctly fits my car.

my speakers in the doors and stuff sound pretty good. do you guys change those out when you do a system or do you leave them?

people on this forum GUT the whole car and start from the metal //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

lol no thanks i don't think i want to gut my baby lol poor thing

i like my interior

 

[Pillow-Pants 10+ year member]

....That paint seems a different color.

Anyway maybe I missed the budget so I will say it will be more lower key most likely. I would def suggest going to:

http://www.audioque.com

Your going to have to spend some time collecting... but since you like what you have now it should not hurt.

 

[Renesis 10+ year member]

the interior paint IS a different color. It's metalcast metallic blue with a silver basecoat. It looks better than what i previously had.

i'll check the site out.

My buddy has an rx8, Same year I think. He has 2 Kicker Comp VR 10's and a kx or zx 600. It sounds pretty good for the $$ spent.

Also, hes looking to upgrade the HU, have you found a good kit for that?

 

[Renesis 10+ year member]

no i haven't. I was just going to leave my stock one on. If he finds one let me know. sounds like he has a good system. what color is his?

Metra has a new kit that is just about to come to market, should be in the $200 Us range for it. Go to http://www.rx8club.com and there is more than adequate real knowledge of your vehicle there if you can use the search button in the audio forum. If you are not going to be changing your head unit, use the Audio Control LC6i to integrate the aftermarket stereo to the stock stereo. Again, all this info can be found on the other forum.

 

[Renesis 10+ year member]

i'm a member of rx8club.com i have their decal on my car. I just did a search and didn't see much maybe i wasn't paying close attention, because i didnt see anything about the kit. I'll check it out again thanks. Sometimes i overlook things.
