System choices for an Integra?

[wilzyx 5,000+ posts]

for my system i bought a pair of rainbow slc265 components and a power acoustik amp together for 165 shipped from bamaboy, add that to a 100 dollar pioneer head unit i got off here from adio and thats a pretty good setup for less than $300

edit just found this at sonic electronix if you still wanna order the components for cheap http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_7294_Phoenix+Gold+RSd+65cs.html

SE no longer stocks or sells that item. OCS is an authorized PG dealer and has it for $129 shipped.

Yeah, another guy posted on another forum the same thing. I went for the money back, as I had no real use for them. At $50.00 it was a steal, and worth sitting in my garage for awhile. $90.00 is GREAT, but just not enough for me to justify buying something I absolutely don't need.

For you though, you found a real bargain. Congratulations!! You'll be very happy with them. Now for a 2 channel amp for them.

I'm still trying to get you everything within your budget. So bear with me.

Check this out. This is a great deal. As long as the guy has references, and is willing to offer a non-doa, then go for it.

That would allow you to buy just a 4 channel amp to run everything.

oh, didnt see that. anyways if you still want a sub to handle the lows that doesnt need much room, try this one. the box only needs to be big enough to mount the sub in it basically.

I can vouch for the Assassin... it's what I use in my car. Great subs and well worth the money. Find a little mono/bridged amp in the 250-400W RMS @ 4 Ohms range and it'd be a very nice sounding budget sub stage.

How about these, instead of the 2-ways in the back?

Kicker SSMB6

I know they are not flow blown subwoofers, but more like mini-woofers. If I lowpass them on the amp wouldn't they sound pretty decent?

Also what gauge do I need? I picked 4 because sonicelectronix said it was rated from 400-1000 watts. I would also not want to solder, I am looking for something to crimp.

This is what was in the original configuration

As soon as I hear back from you guys on these two items I will pull the trigger and buy the amp and accessories. If there is anything else I need before I begin let me know.

1. Those SSMB6's are not mini sub woofers, they are 6" midrange, nothing more. They will not even come close to being a suitable replacement for a dedicated sub stage.

If you want to get very small sub(s), check out the Tang Band 6.5" subs over at partsexpress.com. There's also the TB 8" subs (also available with a neo-mag motor).

2. This guide may offer some assistance for selecting the proper wire gauge.

Thank you once again,

Out of curoisity, how much is that Dynamat? Have you compared prices to Second Skin and RAAMmat?

 

[LOLminator 10+ year member]

The Dynamat is $12.99 but that is only for the front door speakers. Here is the link.

I haven't compared to secondskin or RAAmat maybe those would be a better choice?

They're all a good choice, really. I was just looking to maybe save you an extra few bucks. Good price on the Dynamat, btw.

$90 is a really good deal

the guy i talked to, the new member on here is a really nice guy, i think ill buy a few things from them too

You got a pretty nice setup goin, all ya gota do now in the future is get some subs!

To do your doors correctly, you'll need a lot more Dynamat than that.

I'd suggest the 20 square feet of Damplifier from SecondSkin. It's a bit more than the Dynamat, but you get a whole lot more, and you'll be able to properly do your door, and get the most out of the components.
