I just found out the previous owner had a nice system... i know jack about this stuff...

what are these wires?
and what is this box in my drivers side / passanger door?


Anyone hear of the company "concept" ?

the little boxes are crossovers, used in a 2 way speaker system (component) they devide the signal to a tweeter and a woofer.. not sure about the company concept sounds familure but i cant remember off teh top of my head..

 

Right now the thing sounds descent... I was wondering if I got an amp and a new headunit would it sound alot better? Cuase there are RCA wires and something else


I honestly dont know jack about this stuff.... Im hoping Concept is a good company so I can be proud to have a good system =P

This is def what I have.... still means nothing to me.


Is this stuff high quality or just crap

 

based off those specs they should be pretty decent.. i would recommend going to a decent audio shop in town let them see what oyu have and they will recommend what you need... a new deck and an amp would most likely be good.. and fairly easy to install since you already have the wiring done..

 

muchos gracias =)

What kind of headunit would you reccomend? Also what kind of amp? 4-way, 2 way?


I dont know what anything means... i just want this system finished so it can sound better than it is now... and I dont want to get ripped off by an audio shop =P They will ask me what I have inside... I'll say IDK and they will prob rip me off =(

 

Just notice you're in Essex county. I'm nearby (union county). quality Head units are plentiful. Depends on what you're looking for in terms of looks and features. a two channel amp for the front components would be sufficent. The rear speakers can be ran off the head unit. Then later you can get a sub and amp for some bass.

 

any reccomendations for headunits / amps?


How much $$$ do i need to get a descent stereo, amp, and sub?

 

we used to be a concept dealer, good midline stuff for sure, the speakrse you have are pretty good for their price range,

I have around 600 bucks.. i know its a small budget but thats all i can afford now. I was gonna go with sony but people slapped me and siad its crap =P

I was starting to worry as I went thought pictures, watching how the power cable (red ) was just tossed against the body and you crossing them. But then at the end the I saw the pic with the battery disconnected from the red wire, I was relived.

600 bucks...get you

a decent headunit, say pioneer premier 680 around 250

sub: image dynamics id10 around 140

amp: find a decent 4 channel on line somehwere for around 200...there area lot of good but cheap brands..

send front channels to the concepts, rear bridge ot the sub

thanks! Now i need to find a understrut box that has a place to put an amp.... cuase that wire is already grounded so i can only keep it there =(

 

Ok I did some research... I found some sub boxes that have single or dual openings... Now the problem is my Amp wire is grounded in the back... where the small compartments are but on the other side. So that means my AMP would have to be there too. But I want something that wont attract the theives so I want my amp hidden on and not for show. Is there any box that hides the Amp?

 

glove box passenger or stock bose sub location behind driver

 

Ok.... so can anyone give me their opinion on what to get?

-Im thinking 1 10inch Alpine TypeR sub
-Some sort of amp (do i need 1 or 2? 2 channel or 4-channel?) Idk what brand
-A headunit... prob will go with the Pioneer 680


Edit... I have 600 bucks to spend.... so no JL =(

 

Or for the headunit i wanna go with the Pioneer DEH P80MP

anyone got this?

 

My advice is to save some money until you can get a good HU, amp and sub and have a good installer put them in. I'm not sure how much you'd need to save to achieve that goal, and it's subjective as to which brands count as "good". It may be that you can get a good sub, HU and amp for 600. Perhaps one of the industry people here can give you a better idea of the pricing. Don't think that you're limited to 600 bucks. Wait a couple months, save some cash, and get a system that you'll be happy with instead of thinking, "Damn, I wish I'd gotten a better headunit."

 

im not trying to get a kickass system.... i want to turn the volume up and still be able to hear good music =P So i thought maybe a new headunit will help alot. cuase i have new speakers but old non-bose HU....


Wont just a headunit help? Especially the p80MP?
