Tell me what you think about my future system.

center channel is useless unless you have a sound processor and there is absolutley no point to 6 componernts. I realize you want to do something unique here and that's cool but the way your trying to set this up you are going to have horrible sound quality, an no control over it. Do components in the front and coax in the rear and use a 4channel amp so you have control over balance/fade. If you want to go outside the box a little bit get some 3-way componets in the front and fiberglass your door panels. That would give you something unique and add to your sound quality instead of taking away from it.

just my 2 cents, take it with a grain of salt

 

I'm quality over quantity guy I would rather it sound good than be louder but I need it to be able to get loud. I understand where you're coming from with the high sensitivity component speakers but I have a set of Kenwood coaxial all around and they sounded good just not loud enough that's why I wanted an amp when I get on my computer later I have revised my plans and I'll let yall know

 

^Information that should have been in the first post...

Run an amplifier with about 75RMSx4 or more. Make sure you get an amplifier that can have it's channels bridged. Bridge the front two channels to your left set of components and bridge the rear two channels to the right side. This will give them double the power and they will scream and sound very VERY clear.

I recommend getting a 4 channel amp instead of a 2 channel amp because it gives you the ability to run rear speakers later if you feel the need.

 

here is my recommendation for an amp. i installed it a few weeks ago. great size, perfect power for what you're looking for and wont break the bank.

As others have mentioned, if LOUD is your priority, you need an amp.

Those Focals with 75 Watts RMS should make your ears bleed.

 

^I approve of this amp.

 

I have the 8105D for my subs and I love it. That amp is the one I was going to post up later.

 

Ok so now that we have all that straightned out how about this

Two of these up front in sock locale:http://www.crutchfield.com/p_113KAC8405/Kenwood-KAC-8405.html

With this pushing them:http://www.salectronics.com/detail.asp?product_id=KAC8405

 

You linked the same amp, just at different sites.

 

i agree those are great speakers got 2 pair and a 10w3 in my wifes car running on jl hd900/5 amp sounds great!

 

personaly if someone came into my store with a 100.00 budget i would do focal 165vb, rockford fosgate t400/4 and single jl 10w3v3 sound quality and all the output youl ever need.

 

I have a hundred, which store was that again?

 

Decimal point fail?

 

oops! meant to type 1000.00, booze+posting......

 

Have you figured a way to fit a 10W3 in a Tacoma other than sitting on the back seat in the way of anyone who would sit in the rear seats

 

in an 01 yes but youl have to give up the storage under the back seat, you can build a fiberglass box under the back seat. i have actualy removed all the metal under the back seats and put in 4 kicker 10s for one customer. probably wouldnt do it again though it was a PITA, the best thing about a 10w3 is it is versatile it will run loud as hell with very little power but will handle a ton if you have it and it will sound good in almost any box even if its a little too large or small for the speaker. for a reasonably priced sub i dont think it can be beat.

 

or buy one of these not real cheap but they sound killer and you dont have to build anything.

what speakers are you running with that amp?

 

I think 6 speakers is do able. Thats what i run plus two subs.


I have 4 5 1/4 speakers in the stock locations wire with one + off on speaker and one - off the other to eachother. So they are connected with one wire. Then the - from one speaker and + of the other go to ONE channel on the amp. I have them wired to my Front channel on my 4 channel amp. Then the rear channel of the amp powers my two Kicker 6X9s sitting in the back.

Also dont cut the subs off at 80hz. Thats just stuipid. 100hz or 125hz is where the cut off needs to be.

If you have subs, you NEED to amp every speaker so that they have a chance at keeping up with it. You head unit is NOT powerful enough. They put out like 22w RMS. That can NOT compete with an Amped sub pushing 400+W RMS.

You only need one set of component speakers for the front if you want them. Tweeters ARE directional! So the closer they are at pointing at your face, then better.


Heres my system. Might look like over kill...and in ways its is. but tuned right, and it sound BEAUTIFUL! I am a future Audio Engineer so i needed something that sounded great(of course). Not that it doesn't have the ability to blow your ears out...cuz it does. But thats not the point. Do i like to bump? Hell yea, but i listen to Eric Whitacre in this thing and lots of jazz...hell everything. So don't think im just a kid going for loud sound. SQ was my goal...loudish SQ

 

Well I got pissed off one day about the tinging in my speakers when bass hits so I pulled off the door and the switched my kenwood speakers for my stock and that didn't take it away so I switched back, and switched my hu to stock and that took it away then found a loose wire on the hu harness tightened it and no tinging so for now I am buying that kenwood 4chan amp and a sub box and it'll be finished until deadner

 

fashoooo i was gonna say the same
