How big of an amp should I get to power a 10w0? I was thinking about bridging 160 watts from a Fosgate 160.2. Is this enough?

 

Yes...plenty enough of power...it's easier to blow a sub if you underdrive it than over-powering it...

Maximadave

 

Yo, Dave.

I called my nearest Tweeter (Orland Park) and they do not have their Auto Sound section set up yet. However, they referred me to the Oak Brook store. The prices for installation are as follows:

Front Speakers: $30 (Pretty much a straight drop in)
Rear Speakers: $50 (They would have to do some cutting)

 

Sounds about right...

 

I am going over to the Oak Brook Store to let them see the car.

 

Let me know what happens...what do you think about SWEETSOUND2001 selling car audio to your fellow brothers and sisters here on Maxima.org?

Maximadave

 

Dave,

I know I am driving you up a tree with speaker questions and pricing but I am seriously thinking of putting the 5.25" up front. What is the model number and how much does it run?

 

If you are talking about the Eclipse they are the 82541's
$75.00 a pair.

Maximadave

 

Isn't there a d/a converter or some kind of outboard processor for this unit?

 

Yes, but I wouldn't really recommend it.

Maximadave

 

Maximadave is da man.....no one can replace him.

Dave, I'm thinking about running my 6 door speakers with a clean 40 - 60 watts of power. What are your (and the group's) thoughts on running each speaker of a mono, bridged output of a small amp versus buying a couple of 4 channel amps or something. I can't make up my mind yet whether to run 2 10s in the rear corners of the trunk vs. 2 10s or 1 12 in the spare tire well....I really like the idea of dumping the limp home tire to save weight and use space without killing trunk capacity.....Your thoughts please...Oh yeah, tell me some good news about my 8500 shipment...is in on the road?
Thanks again, you're da man!

 

 

Those outboard D/A convertors are unbelievably expensive....and unless you're looking for the very last nth degree of sonic quality and detail a normal ear may never hear the difference between them and the standard 1-bit convertors in most CD-players.

 

Due to the fact yesterday was a holiday with no mail...it got sent out today...reply to this post when you receive it which should be by the end of the week...

Use a 4channel amp to run your speakers front and back and a seperate amp for your subs........or if you want to save space (last resort)use a 5 channel amp..use the amp in stereo not mono

Maximadave

 

Do they come with a 4x6 adapter plate?

 

Sorry they do not come with an adapter plate...you'll have to cut or custom make a plate out of abs plastic to make it work...

Maximadave

 

How much are the JL Audio VR 525 and VR 600 or TR690?

The reason I am asking is that the TR525 does come with an adapter plate.

 

I will email you a price tomorrow...today is my day off...

 

Cool.

 

On the model numbers, I need to know if you want the "CX" or "CS" at the end of the model number...ie VR525CS

Maximadave

 

Probably the CS, but give me the prices for both.

 

VR525CS $210.00
VR525CX $125.00
VR650CS $240.00
VR650CX $155.00

Let me know if you are interested...

Maximadave

 

What's the difference between CS and CX?

 

CS: Component Seperates

CX: Coaxials

Maximadave

 

I think I'll go with the Eclipse. Good speaker and not too expensive.
Eventually, I will put a JL Audio 300.4 Amp and an Eclipse 5083 CD Changer in the car.

 

ok...let me know when you are ready...

 

Dave,
I am looking into getting some speakers for the front and rear. Right now I have the stock bose system with 3 JL W3 subs and 1 RF 800 amp. I need your opinion on what speakers has the best sound. Also I want to konw what kind of deals you have on in-dash t.v.'s? Hook me up with some prices on the speakers and the t.v.'s.



Thanks

KVT910DVD is my best seller. Maxima.org price is $2275.00...it lists for $2800.00. It has a 6.5" monitor in dash with CD/DVD player all in one! TV tuner so you never miss an episode of Days of Our Lives and you can touch the screen to do all functions like volume, bass and treble adjustments and so on.

I personally have the Eclipse Point Source 89640 6" speakers front and back and they are extremely clean. They retail for $230.00 per pair Maxima.org price is $175.00 a pair. Boston Acoustics makes some good sounding speakers as well look into the PRO 6.5's for the front and RM6's for the rear. I had this setup in my previous car. Click on my homepage for details on my Maxima set up. Let me know what you think.

Check your PM's...

Maximadave

 

Hey Maxima Dave. I know where I can get an MTX 610x3 box for 299 bucks.... can ya beat that? Thanks.

 

I dont carry MTX...

 

Uhhh.. I feel like an idiot. Thanks anyway. I'm lookin for something under 400 bucks for sub+box, I'm goin for bang for the buck. Louder gets preference over SQ.... any suggestions? I'll run by some stores and have em throw stuff in the trunk and give em a listen. Anything you would suggest?

 

Give the Eclipse subs a whirl. You won't be disappointed.

 

Mr. MaximaDave, any discounts on Dynamat Extreme for me?

 

JL makes some really good sounding boxes...check them out www.jlaudio.com

look at:
CS210RW0...2 10W0's
CS310RWO...3 10W0's
CS212RW0...2 12W0's
CS110W3...1 10W3
CS210W3...2 10W3's

Maximadave

 

Sure no problem...Sweetsound2001 and Whitemax use this stuff called Rammatt. It is similar to Dynamat but alot cheaper. I personally have not heard about the brand but according to them its good. PM them for pricing and availability.

Maximadave

 

Thank ya Dave, will do.
