i have a 10w6v2 right now being pushed by a jl 250/1, with gain at half. its still too much for me. i bought a 500/1 to replace my 250/1 in anticipation of needing more to push my 10w6v2, lol, wrong! my lord, wtf, 2 10w7's? your hatch is gonna blow off!

 

Yeah, I hear what youare saying about the wow factor but... Is a judge really going to know the difference between the W7's and W6's when installed?

 

LoL.... Good thing I don't have a hatch!

 

NO, Car show judge wont care much about the audio components, but some times dont they let ppl who attend the shows to vote on their favorite cars? As good as JL is? I do think they are play out tho, so it wont stand out much in the "show" environment...You probably should let Bing doing the install, he is nothing short of amazing, just read the thread about "13W7 in a Z...take 2"....WOW just WOW

Either way you decided to go? good luck with HIN.

 

G35's trunk aint much better either, I have 10 W7 and 500/1, I genuinely do not understand why ppl think it isnt enough punch, my trunk just rattle to no end when the vol is above 9 on our beloved Bose, and gain on the 500/1 is just bit blow half way.

 

OK, ok,ok,ok.....

Here it is.......

(2) 10W6V2's @ $470
(1) XR650-CXI @ $147 (trunk Lid Speakers)

^^^ That looks SWEET! Nice Install!!!

Hey, I heard CDT are better speakers for in car than JL... Is this true? I do not want to screw this up and have to re-do it... LOL...

Got my 10.5" trunklid monitor on order

Now I got to start ordering the rest... I am starting with the 1000/1 & 450/4 amps and the Subs... The two 10W6's should be ok being run with the 1000/1 right?

THANKS!

 

speakrse is very relative, you will find audiophile who swear by totally different speakres..

to me, i am not a big can of cdt to be honest, my fav brands are DLS, Morel and AVI , and also the polk SR series...

but at the price you are listing, i think the JL xr is a good spekaer for sure

b

 

I got XR's and they sound good to me. I listened to some Diamond and MB Quarts in the same environment and chose the JL's.

 

a guy i know has been in the sq game a while (sound quality) and has worked hand in hand with some companies to engineer his car to be great. he said boston acoustics is really stepping up their game lately and is one of the best out there. mbquarts used to be the best but he said the latest stuff just isnt as good as what they used to make.
im talking about components not subs or amps.

 

Got a new contender for the all important front stage speakers..... I present....

I think these will get the NOD...

 

im using ba's and love every minute of it.

my friend has the XR's in an integra and the sound great. forget the rear and trunk lid speakers and invest in a set of ZR's for the front.

 

just so you know triji, there are a ton of fake DLS gear floating on ebay...

and also, DLS will not warranty any online sales, and will not even service any non-dealer purchased DLS gear at any cost...

i personally have had a customer come to me wtih fake DLS speakres he got off ebay... so just becareful...

i always say speakres and subs should never be bought without warranty, espeically if you like to pound from time to time as they are usuually the first things that go...if you blow a set of these, then your short lived savings can be a big 400 dollar plus hole in the wall

just my suggestion...

 

Ditto on the 10W7's. Either one of them or two 10W6's max.
I have the JL 3 way comps you pictured. The tweets and mids are in kickpanels, and the woofs are in the doors. They are very nice speakers, esp the woofers. Right now I am between sub setups and running without any. The woofers are nearly good enough to run without a sub! (esp. if you can seal the space they are in). GET A HEAD UNIT WITH A GOOD EQUALIZER!
I am also currently purchasing an EQ because my Clarion HU has no equalizer to speak of. The tweets/mids are way louder than the bass, even with the -2dB adjustment set on the crossovers.

 

Here are my components.... I bought 2 sets, one for the fronts and one for either the trunk lid or the rear deck... I have not made up my mind on that yet...

One of my monitors came in yesterday and I got both a 1000/1 & 450/4 amps for 900.00 for both...

It's starting to come together...

 

dude that setup is going to sound like ****
why get two high end subs and then choke them of the space they need? would you buy a ferrari and swap engines with a civic?
getthe idmax's or something comparable or maybe the w6's. why get two 500 watt amps when you cna get one 1000 watta mp? seems like it would be cheaper.
and why in god's green earth do you want 3 sets of speakers in such a small car. if i was you i would take all the moey you were going to spend on all three sets and get one high end comp set for the front and deaden the hell out of your doors.
as far as the screens, i dont know, never been my thing.
good luck though
and dont limit yourself to one brand

edit:btw dont underestimate the positive effects the hatch will have on your bass.

 

^^^ dude..... make sure you read the whole post... I have made many changes... I will post up the final outcome when I have her all complete.
