so im in the planning stages of my audio upgrade and ive been doing alot of searching on the forum but all the stuff is like 2011 or older and discontinued or out of date. so im asking the ones who are currently in the know whats the current best

component set going kick panel mid/ A pillar tweet mount?
sound proccesor with tuneing software?

would really like bing to chime in on this as ive seen his work and its great stuff.

plan on running the rears as same model coaxial for rear fill and making custom fiberglass enclosure from stock sub location.
using the gt5-2500 amp to keep it compact and put the amp behind the glove box on rack.
done alot of installs but on this one id really like to learn about and use staging and such on my install and make it a quality sounding system no just really loud.

any advice on sets would be greatly appreciated

 

for the most part info in the old threads are still valid

 

some if it yes. but i found a really good one with a complete alpine layout and all the stuff is discontinued now. and most of the post ive pulled up on the searches are from way back in 05-09 area.

 

If youre looking for audiophile sound why arent you running active? I did this in my Maxima and the difference is amazing.

 

that would be because up until i did some digging for the set up on the Z i had no idea what active or passive were. and i honestly still dont completly, nor do i have any experience with it so im reaching out to those who do to pick there brain and gain some knowledge. Id love to learn as much as some of the great audiophiles on here.

and ive done some reading on it and such, but alot of times what you read will differ from one thing to the next and the textbook answer ant always the best vs. the 20 yr pro who knows the tricks and was doing this since before i was born.lol

 

but i think ive found the head unit/ active crossover setup that im getting. the pioneer DEH-80PRS. after looking into it this allows me the best of both worlds and i already have a 4 channel and 2 channel bridgeable sub amp so it could all work out good. well just have to wait and see
