Speaker / Amp Combo

[Twinsen 10+ year member]

I can get these speakers listed below for a good deal. I'd like to know if the Amplifiers that could be packaged with them would be a good choice to go with or should I pick up a different pair of Amps. I'd like to push more for sound quality, rather than all out bass. But I'd like to hit pretty hard when I want to.

Sounds like a really great budget SQ setup. Careful about pushing Infinity subs too hard. Heard a horror story or two in my day. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

So would you not recommend this setup?

Have you heard all these speakers in person? Some people consider Infinity harsh, but if you've heard them and like them ignore that comment. I personally like how they sound. The only suggestion I have is if you wanna save some cash, check out some other wire brands. Monster cables aren't any better than any other brand yet usaully have a greater price tag. Also there is that whole thing about them being the Devil and all. www.knukonceptz.com is where I get all my stuff and I have never had any noise issues. Just make sure you use the same size wire for both power and ground.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/thumbsupwink.gif.129404938effda6ad9cca39e7f4b58a3.gif:thumbupw:

Well, what setup would you suggest. I'm trying to build a system and I have no idea what combination of anything to go with. I was informed of two system sets, one cost about $540 and the other $1020 or so. I'm not trying to be cheap or anything, just trying to get something a little better than bang-for-buck with sound quality. Then I can get a box made for my trunk for about $400.

SET ONE

Speakers : http://www.thezeb.com/p-CDT-Audio-CL-61A-6-1-2-inch-Component-System-101083.htm - $150

Subwoofers : http://soundsplinter.com/rlp_premium_series_12_and_15_inch_subwoofer.html - $430

Amplifier : http://sonicelectronix.com/item_365.html# - $169

Total - 150+430+169 = $749

SET TWO

Speakers : http://www.onlinecarstereo.com/CarAudio/ProductDetail.aspx?ProductID=13542 $149

Subwoofers : http://www.etronics.com/product.asp?stk_code=sout212&store=&catid=369 - $360

Amplifier : http://www.onlinecarstereo.com/CarAudio/ProductDetail.aspx?ProductID=13940 - $379

http://www.onlinecarstereo.com/CarAudio/ProductDetail.aspx?ProductID=13918 - $129

149+360+379+129 = $1017

I like Setup #1 better... your price on the RL-p is incorrect though, they are only $215 each when purchased as a pair, 235 each as single... Make your own box, you can buy your own tools/materials and still be less than $400, while keeping the tools when finished //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif...

I'm sorry if I sounded like I didn't like your setup. Infinity is a very respectable brand. However, if you've got a little more money to spend I'd go for something a little higer up. I really like setup#1 you just posted. I think you forgot a speaker amp in there though. I've heard the CDTs you linked on there and I really love them. I haven't had a chance to hear a SoundSplinter in person yet, but plenty of people can attest to how great they are. I found this on theZeb you might want to think about:http://www.thezeb.com/p-Orion--CDT-Audio-XTR375.2---HD62-Amp-&-Speaker-Package-103831.htm

$400 for a enclosure? I assume this would be a custom 'glassed enclosure in the back of a VR-4(nice car btw)? If you aren't getting a fiberglass enclosure made you're getting ripped bigtime.

 

[Twinsen 10+ year member]

Yeah it would be a custom fiberglass/vinyl box. Here is a link to some of his work on boxes, 3KGT Concepts. Its about a 2 month turn-around time to have one made, but I have to figure out what components I want before I decide on my box.

But what you're saying Logikalliquid is that I should go with Set One, but replace the speakers/amp I had in there with the one you posted?

 

[Logikalliquid 10+ year member]

You won't be disappointed with any set of CDT components. I just thought that that set of HDs with that amp seemed like a good deal and you seem to have the wallet for em. The total for that setup would be close to the cost of setup#2 also.

How do these Memphis 12"s compare to the RL-p Premium Series 12"s? Forgot the model number., but I have one of these in my setup now. I'd just like to know how these compare.
