Recommend me a sub/speakers

natedawg9640 · 09-09-2009, 11:58 AM

i want to put a small sub in my scoobie... and i want some speakers. mine are horse crap. i was thinkin an 8" sub would be fine, might do it in the rear deck unless i find somewhere better. i'll be fiberglassing kick panels for smaller round speakers... 5-6" in the front, or possible just replacing my door speakers. same for the rear doors. i want to stay inexpensive, possibly even second hand stuff... so if you have anything i might want, let me know, and if you have any recomeendations, also let me know... same goes for an amp. i doubt i'll amp the speakers, just the sub...

Couple one of these up with the comp set I got for Heineck and you will be good:

I can look for an amp later.

Get me a budget!

natedawg9640 · 09-09-2009, 01:00 PM

mmm... 150 for 4 speakers... round, 5.25 up front and 6 in back
maybe 150 for the sub/amp combo... but that's pushin it. secondhand would be good... i dont want to pound, i just want to enjoy the music. need not even hear it outside the car. i was thinkin 8" for the deck as 12 wont fit nor is the wavelength short enough to be very good so close to the listener.

Orion amp will be great even in a small version.

I still have a spare 150.2 Orion Cobalt and it was very impressive.

surreal_awakening · 09-09-2009, 02:02 PM

Which comps were those? I'm looking for some 6"/6.5" comps for my new Caliber, without breaking the bank. Want good low end out of them. Stock speakers in the Caliber are 6x9 at all 4 doors.

Thanks. Damn $170 a set huh? I have a car payment again. I'm po' so that won't work lol

Ryan from Ohio · 09-09-2009, 03:16 PM

Well you get what you pay for.

If you want an $90 set you will get a $90 set. Ive been there and done that. They were even Bravox at that...

Rear speakers are a total waste, period. In the Alero with a subwoofer rear speakers are the worst thing there is, period.

Those fronts are $150 + ship- Heinecks was $170 as that was just a round number at the time...

$150 comps will make more and better sound overall than 2 set of $75 speakers. Sheer quality will outdo quantity in this area.

$150 for a sub and amp?

Doable maybe with a lower end sub and a decen American Bass amp.

I think I can do it, or come close.

natedawg9640 · 09-09-2009, 03:30 PM

well what are some decent speakers? like i said... i need 5.25 rounds and 6" rounds. i just want better sound quality... my current rear speakers max out at 7 watts each. whoopie!

Ryan from Ohio · 09-09-2009, 07:23 PM

lolzers

Ah this is in a scoobie... I forgot that.

Ok, the fronts are 5.25"?

The rears are 6.5"?

Lets start here...

Massive Audio CK 5 Stage III comps 5.25" round $150
http://massiveaudio.com/store/produc...cat=254&page=1

Choice:
Massive Audio SX6 6.5" Coaxial (2 way) $50
http://massiveaudio.com/store/produc...cat=255&page=1

-or-

American Bass SQ-65CB (mid bass only) $40
http://americanbassusa.com/front/sho...spx?fileid=339

Amp:
American Bass SQ475 $140
http://americanbassusa.com/front/sho...aspx?fileid=81

Sub:

Now this is the kicker... Lots of choices now.

American bass DX10 or DX12 $65 & $75
http://americanbassusa.com/front/sho...aspx?fileid=67

Save space? Try a slim line?

American Bass SL10 or SL 12 $80 & $90
http://americanbassusa.com/front/sho...spx?fileid=231

I got some other options also... Like prefabed subs in boxes:

Cadence XWB-12S $120
http://www.cadencestore.com/ProductC...&idproduct=522

Cadence FXB 104 S1 $100
http://www.cadencestore.com/ProductC...&idproduct=483

And finally some all in one units. The sub, box and amp are all included in these:

Cadence ZRSW 8 $200
http://www.cadencestore.com/ProductC...&idproduct=523

Fli Audio (By Vibe) Fli Trap 10 Active $150
http://www.fliaudio.co.uk/?page_id=29&category=3

Wiring I will do at cost whatever size you need!

Now... After all that. I would get a good set of comps up front at all costs. It will be providing you with about 85% of everything you will hear... The sub will pick up the rest. Rear speakers if even used should NOT be audible in the front- if they are its detracting from your front stage. With a good component set you need good clean power. 75 WRMS from the AB will effectively power the components without over doing it. The amp will also supply you with 200 WRMS @ 4 Ohms which will work good with any of the subs I listed and many more...

natedawg9640 · 09-14-2009, 09:57 PM

Ryan, thanks for all the info... now hook me up. lol. I'll need a good set of front speakers, a small sub, i still want something like an 8, and something to power it... I will probably be building a box into the trunk... possibly even porting it into the cabin or makign room on the rear deck. if this would get me any more quality... if not, then i'll forget that idea... anyway... narrow it down for me. my music of choice is rock, some metal, a little rap/R&B, and country... so no bass mechanix for me. lol. also, i will be running everyhting off the stock HU as i want to keep my 6-disc in-dash.

Goto acshockwave.com

We bough cadence's design and stepped up the quality. Truely some badass audio equip mang.

Check it out and let me know, I work for them so I can get you a good price on it.

natedawg9640 · 09-14-2009, 10:08 PM

I think there's a typo on that web site. There's one too many zeros on that price tag for my budget

Who is we?

And you own that place?

Cadence does provide a decent product, dont get me wrong- IN ITS PRICE CLASS. $150 components, sure... $650 comps, not a chance...

Looking at that website you want to compete with Rainbow and the likes... LOL to ya.

This is the scary part.

If you do this you need a line out converter. They usually suck balls.

I have a good one available, trouble is its not $10...

This would work nicely, but it comes at a cost of $140...

The only other trusted solution would be from David Navone:
