my sound set up
i am an audio noob. so i am wondering if i am missing anything else in my current set up, any suggestions or feedbacks would be great, thanks guys. oh by the way i have a 05 base model.
front deck: Alpine SPR-57LS 2 way 5x7 component. http://www.alpine-usa.com/en/product...model=SPR-57LS rear deck: Alpine SPS-69C2 2 way 6x9 coaxial. http://www.alpine-usa.com/en/product...model=SPS-69C2 Amp to power the speakers: Alpine MRP-F450 4/3/2 channel amp. http://www.alpine-usa.com/en/product...model=MRP-F450 Subs: two Alpine SWR-1022D w/ two 4080 boxes. http://www.alpine-usa.com/en/product...odel=SWR-1022D Amp to power the subs: Alpine MRD-M1005 mono power amp. http://www.alpine-usa.com/en/product...odel=MRD-M1005 i am using Boss 2 farad capacitor http://www.bossaudio.com/home/catalo...product_id=243 i am also getting a PIE adapter for my Sirius S-50 satellite radio. so do i need anything else other than wires and dynamat? |
line converter
|
the alpine F450 amp has speaker level input. :)

|
haha i know you would get to this thread eventually.
|
=)

Boss sucks... why are you buying a Boss capacitor? Only company I would trust is stinger...
They can say that it is a 1 farad capacitor, but what you have to take in mind is at what temperature that capacitor is running... Some companies cheat the system, and "test" their capacitors at 30 degrees... We all know our trunks are alot colder than that... I'm not saying it wouldn't work, I'm just really picky about details... |
i went with boss because jedi54 did his homework on his audio set up, and thats what he ended up using. i trust 'em jedi power i guess. :)
|
Go for splits
i would suggest yo go components in the front and back. i've got cerwin vega 5x7 in the front and 6x9 in the rear, but they don't give as much treble aws the tweeter in this components. i also suggest the eathquake 2 farab cap. the boss isn't a good make. :ylsuper:
|
lol holy shit i dont think i need 10 farad. and as for using components front and rear, thats the first ive ever heard of. people ive talked to all said to use components front deck, and coaxials fro the rear deck. but i am look into that. thanks guys.
|
You could replace your battery with a 10 farad....lol
|
BRGREEN: don't sweat the capacitor. the Boss is capable of handling this system setup... trust me. :)
Looks like you've got pretty much everything you're going to need for this stereo install. I need to go back and see what kind of wiring I used and we need to figure out whether we're getting a fuse for that system or if you want to run a circtit like Rasp and I have. Oh boy.... this is gonna be a fun install. |

you mean the asshole who made me complately change my set up and made me spend more money than i expected???? do you really want me to mention that ? :cussing: :p: well good call on that second amp with speakers level adjustment though. |
did you get the dynamat yet?
|
where did you get the sub box from?
|
jedi: no i havent gotten the dynamat, as of now i dont even know what they are goig to do with my car.
jzrx8: search for 4080, he custom makes the boxes i have. |
I heard the good news about your car...now go order that dynamat! :)
|
dynamat is cheap on ebay though. and whats fatmat? anybody heard of it?
|
through experience i would suggest replaceing your factory batt. with and optima red or yellow top and upgrading your factory grounds rather than a cap. Due to the 8 having a weak electrical system. I have a four channel and a 500 watt monoblock. with a 5 farrad cap i was reading 9 volts with the system bumping then i added a red top and that brought it up to 11v at full volume.
|
btw fat mat is crap it basically takes three layers to equal 1 layer of dynamat. I have used both and found dynamat to be much better you can read reviews on sound deadeners at caraudio.com.
|
Dont' use imitation dynamat....I've seen it and it's not very good.
|
I went w/ Damplifier from Second Skin Audio because of this comparison and I am completely satisfied.
I used it and some Dynamat Extreme that I already had and they seem very comparable. |
Keep in mind this reading is at the amp im still not satisfied and im adding another small drycell in the trunk and droping the cap
