Need help guys.

I currently got:

2 Hifonics amps.(Brutus 6400, Zeus 2005)
4 Pioneer premier 6.5 260 watts 4way.
JVC KD-AVX-1. HU.
1 MTX Thunder 8000 series.

Anyway i`m not really happy with this setup. I`m looking for something that will give nice bass as well as good clear music. I know most of ya got alot of opinions about different setups..i just want a few options.

Yes i pm Don already but he haven`t reply yet.
any help will be appreciated.

Honestly i can spend like 800, to 1g....the set up it`s o.k, but i was thinking that i want to change those pioneer speakers and get some components, also i want to get the" dymamat" or whatever is called so it will improve the sound quality.

Well for opinions sake first you probably should ditch the 4 ways and get a good set of components up front. Amp them nicely with a good 4 channel amp. Then either run the rear of the amp to mid's in the rear deck/doors or bridge it down to run a sub. Or even consider a 6 channel amp. Power all 4 speakers and bridge down for the sub in the rear. The sub you have should be adequate with the right amount of power. Also depends on what type of box it is set up in. IIRC it's in a sealed box. So it may be better to run a more powerful dedicated sub amp to it. And get a 2 channel for the fronts.

As far as dynamat goes read the sticky threads at the top I believe there is alot of better products than dynamat and different products available different prices etc. Be very selective in what kind of sound deadening you choose as it will affect the over sound and price that you work with.

Just be patient and talk to Don. He's very busy but in the end you will get the best service/parts from him.

Lol's. I'm sure you'll find something soon enough. With what you have already a good set of comps and some dynamating should be well within you're budget.

i would look to increase the efficiency of the sub. Possibly go with a ported enclosure, to maximize the wattage that you have, maybe even adding an additional sub to increase output.
YOu can easily get good sound with proper deadening and a quality component set in the front. Don will set you up. Maybe even get you an in dash eq so you can tweak

go with a set of components from Don and an amp (and coaxials if you are in dire need of rear fill), then take it from there.
