UCP Car Audio

[Sweeney921]

I just got this idea because of the confusion in Exige's thread.

Does anyone have aftermarket audio systems in their cars? What are they?

Mine:
Pioneer DEH-P4800MP (Deck)
Infinity Reference 6012si 6.5" speakers (Doors)
Pioneer TS-A6880R 6"x8" speakers (Rear)
Harman Kardon Drive + Play

I'm looking into putting in a Infinity BassLink powered sub, anyone have any experience with them?

In my 96 Ford Bronco I have:
Alpine 7894 MP3 head unit
6 1/2'' Boston Acoustic in the doors
6x9" Infinity reference in teh rear
JL 500.1 w/ 2 1 fared capacitors in series
JL W6 10" down firing sub mounted in the custom fiberglass center console i made my self.

[Sweeney921]

jake, what kind of amp do you have running the sub? Must be pretty beast if you need 2 capacitors.

[jake21]

Its a JL 500.1, It may be a little overkill but I had two from last car i had set-up. It was a mustang with 2 12" Type R's it pushed upper 140's in DB drags.

a sony head sitting in the dash, not screwed in and a pair of $100 sony 6x9s screwed straight onto the steel of the parcel shelf

Here is what im putting in my blazer. I have most of it but it needs to be installed.

Pioneer DEH-M4600MP Head unit
2 6 1/2" Pioneer speakers (rear doors) X2
Hopefully 4x6" pioneer speakers (front dash speakers) X2
MTX Blue Thunder 10" subwoofer
Hopefully a MTX amp

Update: I just added a Rockford Fosgate Punch Stage 2 12" sub in a ported enclosure powered by a RF p2002 amp.

now i'm bumpin'

[Lagonda]

I've got a Pioneer DEH-P70BT
And JBL speakers all around (the speakers were already there. I got that radio because it functions as a handsfree bluetooth set for my phone as well and because it supports the Pioneer iPod interface that I have as well.

[Quiggs]

Sony Xplod head (free)
Sony 10 disk changer (free)
2 Alpine 10" Type E's (1 free)
Alpine 200w mono-channel amp (free)
6.5" 2 way Alpine components (4)
3.5" 2 way Alpine components (2)

Total cost: $250 + install.

It's loud enough.

now i have my speakers in and im saving money for an amp. i really would like to know how to wire my sub directly to my head unit. i just want a little extra until i get an amp. Anyone that could help me please do so.

there's really no way to wire your sub to the head unit directly, and I don't think it's been emphasized enough that a simple head unit won't be able to power it, anyway. It's a complete waste of time.

Headunit:
Kenwood KD-9021SE MASK


Speakers:
Kenwood 5 1/4" front
Rockford Fosgate 6*9 FRC3369 Rear

AMP and Woofer
Rockford Fosgate Punch He2 12" Woofer
Rockford Fosgate Punch 200.2 Amplifier



its hard to capture the sound quality on a digital camera though, left pic is in my golf, right pic my previous car

[SupraMan22]

personally i like it in the golf. i bet it shakes the shit out of that cover on the back. lol fosgate is a good company. Did you get the level 2 sub?

Ok sweeney, you wire the sub to the wires running off the head unit. I have a amp anyway chill. I'm installing everything this week hopefully. Wiring kit and wire is a decient check but ive got the cash.

Anyways. I hooked my MTX up to my brothers MTX amp that he has in his tacoma x-runner. He has a 10" Xtant sub. Hits amazing, only 250 watts too. But my sub sounded good. Once i get it all in ill take some pics. Ill pic the head unit, sub, and such.
