Bake82 Posted February 3, 2004 Report Share Posted February 3, 2004 Well how much are you looking to spend. Are you willing to buy online? If you buy online u can save alot of coin. However for the speakers, people will suggest alot of different kinds but it's what sounds best to you. If you have friends with aftermarket speakers in their car have a listen, if not head to some local audio shops and have a listen. Also, are you going to amp the speakers or run them off the deck? Suggestion is get a good set of quality front speakers, amp them and then leave your stock speakers in. I don't know much on the L7, but from what I've heard it's not the best for SQ, however it does get loud. That is from what I hear. Anyways hope I helped somewhat.

Goph Posted February 3, 2004 Report Share Posted February 3, 2004 the L7 is a good sub and the 15" with a jbl 1200.1 can it 145 something db in a mustang. for speakers alpine and infinity are good and if you amp the speakers get a good sound quality amp like alpine because you will be glad you did. the only problem with the L7's are you don't want to over power them that much and if you port them they need a subsonic filter because they can blow easy if you don't. so how much of this don't you understand?

musthavemuzk Posted February 4, 2004 Report Share Posted February 4, 2004 well where to start where to start. as Bake82 said get out and listen to as much as you can. both in friends cars as well as in shops. things will sound different in shops as compared to in cars but it gives you a good idea. when doing this inquire about power and crossover points. this will let you know if you can afford the power they have going to it or if they need to demo it with similar power that you can afford. corssover points are good to know too. if they have them crossed over low like 50 or 60 hz then that lets you know they can handle it and the sub will be playing sub freqs and not midbass freqs. i could go on for days on this. i would also recommend hitting some car audio forums and getting some info and stuff there. iirc you are in texas? well one of the car audio competition orgs has a big following of SPL and SQ cars. many are eager to help and give a listen as well. that is usaci http://www.soundoff.org their forum is at http://www.carsound.com now what kind of setup are you after? better than stock? great sound? bumpin system? what kind of tunes ya listen to? all of these will play a role in what will work best for subs and speakers. a partial list of manufacturers can be had here http://groups.msn.com/TeamGatesEurope/linkstomanufacturers.msnw might find something on there you like nowadays there are many many brands to choose from. the mainstream brands kenwood alpine kicker pioneer mtx mbquart jl audio rockford fosgate clarion eclipse coustic lightning audio ma audio phoenix gold audiobahn polk audio amongst others other brands cdt audio diamond audio resonant engineering elemental designs crossfire earthquake memphis arc audio image dynamics visonik planet audio precision power either have alot of cash to test and try or do the legwork before you buy. holla back Monty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
92Cutlass4Dr Posted February 4, 2004 Report Share Posted February 4, 2004 have you listened to the kicker component speakers? i like them a lot and they are less expensive than a lot of speakers of similar quality. you might want to consider getting all of your speakers in one place. the dealer is likely to give you a discount on a big system and go out of his way for you. Try to find a retailer that carries a number of well-regarded brands, and plan to buy everything there. this way you can listen to the speakers in the same store and hopefully on the same system to minimize variables between speakers. people have a very short memory when it comes to sound, so it helps to compare things in the same place at the same time. good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

91cutty Posted February 6, 2004 Report Share Posted February 6, 2004 You can't beat the Directed Audio components for price/performance/quality!!! There have even been some reviewers that said they prefer the sound of the Directed's over their reference speakers! There's a car audio place here in Winnipeg that sells these things and the owner let me listen to a set that he has in his car. Smoothest treble I have ever heard in a car... not to mention deep bass and mids that were just right! Overall AMAZING speakers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
