Your system....are you content with it??

[ls2poweredgoat 5,000+ posts]

Or not? What needs improvement?

I think I've FINALLY found the perfect amp combination to make my "system" sound perfect to my ears...I've been in the audio game for the last 5 years and think I've finally hit the nail on the head....I'm 100% satisfied with how my "system" sounds...

Here is what it consists of...

Alpine CDA-9855 (Active) - $170

Blaupunkt VC100 tweeters - $30

ID OEM mids - $90

Kenwood KAC-729S - $30

Autotek 300x - FREE (building box for Blados, gave me amp in exchange for labor)

Damplifier/Pro/R-Blox - $300

I've had the following amps/mids/tweeters while going active....

NINe.5

XA4000

PDX-150.4

JL 300/2

PRS Mids

PRS Tweeters

Dayton RS180 mids

And I think that's it...

The Kenwood/Autotek combo sound the best, no questions asked. Words cannot describe how surprised I am with how GREAT my front stage sounds...I'm perfectly content with no sub right now...I don't even plan on buying one in the future. For what my shit costs, it can't be beat. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

For the obvious questions...

Is going "Active" worth it? Yes

Do the ID OEMS live up to their hype? - Yes

VC100 tweeters THAT good? - Yes

Deadening your doors worth it? - Yes

Once you go black, do you go back? No

What does YOUR system need that it's missing? More midbass? Smoother tweeters? More powerful amplifier? Deadening? Etc.

I think im quite content with mine minus some much needed deadening to the ceiling and other parts to stop the rattles...all I need is to finish my dash project to add more mids and highs upfront..along with a pair of 8's to switch the 18 off and turn them on to listen to classic rock and other stuff that doesnt really go well with the 18 //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif...then it'll be complete

content is not in the car audio vocabulary.

My current setup is missing better deadening. I can still hear some rattles.

Other than that I guess it's pretty decent. I got a little rattle at the License plate and on my rear doors. It started to get too cold before I could use my Dynamat door kit.

hifonics 1208d

eclipse cd3100

sounds great and i love the setup i have.. got the middle seat down in the back and in the opening is my hifonics amp all lit up centered for perfect view //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

i have bose factory speakers right now and they actually keep up pretty well with the sub.. but in the future i would like to get a great set of comps to complete my system.

i knew absolutely nothing about car audio a month ago but i installed everything myself and it feels great knowing im the one who did it. love my system //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

however come to think about it i do plan to go active someday and also add some id horns to my soundstage, so then i'll need another amp to power the horns //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Want to part with those Dayton's?

And, I'm somewhat content with my system. I want to get mid-low, mid-high, and highs, and get rid of my 2 way set-up and go active. But that's about it.

so wtf did you pussies do w/ your time alignment settings that made you so fucking content with your system?

I know you guys have time alignment w/ your fancy 9887s 800prs' and cd7200mkIIs.

Quit being little bitches w/ my thread.
