Pheonix Gold Octane 500Wx4 amp.
Pheonix Gold Octane 6.5" speakers.
Infinity Kappa Perfect 12.1d dual voice coil sub.

Optima Battery........... :-D :-D :-D

 

Thats alot of equipment. Are you putting that in the honda?

 

My eyes are burning!!!! HONDA FTL!!!!

 

what exactly are we looking at? all that audio stuff on that floor?

 

I was wondering the same think Gordon, The title was a bit catchy, but Im sure of what the excitement is...

 

Hey now ! I had one.

BTW, nice avatar Dan. You do realize you have some deep rooted emotional issues dont ya?

 

Damn, that's a messy room. Even the cat thinks so.

 

did you rob an accord?

 

I wouldn't be too excited with that stuff.........

 

Ditto.

Wheres the upgraded wiring and the trash can for the capacitor?

 

Schosche 4 gauge wiring for the pheonix gold.. and rockford fosgate wiring kit for the rockford amp....
It's going in my maxima.. I don't own a honda accord...
"Lightning Audo LS10-03 1 Fared Capacitor."

Seeing as how I only spent about 600 bucks for EVERYTHING... i'm pretty excited....

 

You ended up wasting money on TWO install kits, and a cap........ Congrats on the new equip though.

All used I'm assuming?

 

Nope... All new except the sub and box and pheonix gold amp....

Don't be a **** just because I don't want to invest 1500+ on really expensive stuff....This will sound good

 

Don't get defensive

Ebay? I'm all for a budget system, but you wasted some money that you could have saved.

 

Yes certainly some wasted money there. Not to mention Im sure I could have pieced together a nice setup for not a Ton more than that with superior products and warranties..

Of course Im not the only source, but a lil research can go a long way.

 

No.... I have friends at crutchfield and best buy....
I don't feel that I wasted money at all...
I've had a system in 4 of my cars and have used all of this stuff before in the past.
Plus, how can you say rockford fosgate/infinity/alpine stuff is crap?????????
I'm gonna be using KnuKonceptz Audio signal wires.
For what I got, it'll be comparable/blow away most systems that cost around 1000 and less.... It's a matter of how you set things up and EQ everything.....

 

Ummm ok, if you want to convince yourself of all that, who am I to stop you? Carry on..

 

Oh and how can we say those brands are crap? Simple we check the facts. Try thinking outside the box rather than feeding into the bandwagons that have been created by followers of huge marketing campaigns.

 

I'm going by personal experience...
I didn't think the guys in the ICE forum would be this quick to jump on people....

 

Good luck with the install...

Why are you going with different speakers for front and back? How come you didnt chose separates for the front? And why 5.25's?

 

Thanks!

I chose 5.25's in the front because I like having a smaller diameter up front because I dont need that much bass coming out of it, and I like the reaction of a smaller speaker opposed to a 6.5....

There's so much fun I could have in this thread

I'll retain myself though.

Just out of curiosity, blackmaxx, have you ever heard anything besides what BB/CC carry?

edit: also, please define "reaction" from a small speaker.

 

Very odd reasoning but okay. I'd have to agree with the bandwagon stuff. Just because those products are so popular doesnt mean that they are good.

 

I have had personal experience, and heard everything I bought in person.
I liked the way every product sounded....
What is BB/CC??????????
I didn't buy anything because people thought they were good etc..
I THINK THEY ARE GOOD because I like how they sound...... Not what other people have told me....

As far as the speaker:
A 10" sub will have a tighter/faster kick/feel than a 12" sub, but 12" will be able to produce a deeper harder kick.....
I applied the same thing to the speakers....

 

Best Buy / Circuit City


A whole lot of reading and learning needs to occur here......

Putting in a bigger midrange up front will help your front stage. Stay with a 6.5 mid, you will get better sound.

 

Right, because the material from which the cone is made has ABSOLUTLEY NOTHING to do with the response...

 

If it sounds good, and isn't going into the honda, seems like a good thing to me.

 

How can you apply something that is specific to subwoofers to coaxials ?

 

Damn.
Ok bye.
Seriously guys..... Thanks for trying to help... but I'm not trying to get an INSANE sound system... just something that gives me a good kick that sounds better than the bose....
I wasn't looking to get lit up and laughed at...
That'd be like if some of you guys said something wrong about drumming or coffee and i'de be like wtf you retard!
Agh..... nevermind

 

thank you...............

 

I RARELY shop at either of those stores... just get some stuff for cheap there....

Thanks for the input on the 6.5... maybe i'll try to return the 5.25's and get 6.5's....

Mike

 

Sounds good .

 

once u enjoy thats all that matters, if you believe its a good system then youll be happy with it. Not everyone wants crisp quality sound, the system that you have does the job. Enjoy, i know youll have fun wiring it up!

 

Just finished scanning through all the pages on your cardomain...
You've got quite an awesome setup it seems.
I notice you started out kind of on the same level i'm at...
Eventually once I get outa the broke college guy stage i'll do more research and upgrade to some REALLY good stuff.
But for now i'm very happy with what I have for what I paid.

 

thats all that matters, i think it was xlcrews sig that said, dont spend money you dont have, to impress ppl u dont know

 

i spend money to satisfy my ears, and the ears of my passengers

 

I INVEST money, not spend it. Although the cost for products in my car is rather inexpensive.

 

u got arc in the minivan old man

 

Not yet....
