[89 Black Beauty]

this is my old setup...

I am rebuilding the fiberglass box that will be much louder

 

[NashMan]

i like the floor

amp kinda does not do it for me thou did you have a diffetn amp at one point

 

[supraman7mgte]

and it thumps

 

[theprodigy79]

JL Premium Interconnects, Monster S16-2 XLN Speaker Wire, Monster 4AWG Power/Grounds. Pretty simple for the sake of less weight (just want something nice to listen to in the Supra).

My Solara system was on a completely different level...

That one was run with Monster 0/1 AWG from Odyssey Dry Cell battery back to a 3 way splitter at the rear seats putting 4 AWG to each amp and cap. I ran Mobile Spec PRO ICE Interconnects and Speaker Wire. Nifty stuff...

Don't waste your money on a capacitor.

 

[PROJECT N00b]

What are some good speakers i can use to replace the stockers?

 

[theprodigy79]

What are your goals for your sound? Do you plan to amp them or run them straight off the headunit? Aftermarket or stock headunit?

 

[PROJECT N00b]

i already have an after market head unit and an alpine amp lying around my house. i want something as loud as my matrixs sound system...and its pretty fucking loud with out that popping sound.

 

[theprodigy79]

If you just want loud with no popping get some 6.5" Infinity References (6022i) and the 6.5" pods to go up front. They'll sound a whole lot better and louder than your stock 4"s, especially when amped (there will really be no comparison)... Not sure how "loud" a Toyota Matrix sound system is, but these should certainly out do it in every single way... Pretty clean, loud (they're pretty high output/sensitive and they're 2Ohms to drive more power from amps), readily available and inexpensive...

You don't really need rear speakers, but if you're going for loud it'll obviously give you more output having them in... You have many choices, but if you go with the above speakers, the Infinity Reference 4022i would be a match (high output, 2Ohm 4" speakers), or you could go with a pair of Polk Audio db501 speakers for a larger diameter (5") speaker that will fit flawlessly for your rears. The Polk would probably be a cleaner speaker with better output (due to the size), but may clash with the Infinitys due to using different materials...

caps save you alts life 1 fard will do in most of all case's

 

[DonS1mpson]

I'm currently running the crappy stock setup through a fairly decent kenwood headunit and it's bloody awful.

Has anyone got experience with Infinity 6012's? I was thinking using those up front, stock rears and a 12 inch sub, maybe even a crappie amp.

 

[foreverpsycotic]

6x rockfords
sony x-plod 54x4 watt
monster cable 8ga wiring kit
memphis audio amp
infinity sub

more than enough system for me, and i havent even fully tuned it yet.

[crazysupra2JZ]

geebuz... why on earth would you need such a big cap

 

[Supra Sound]

I got a good deal on it. It was only 20 dollars more than the 1 farid so i said what the hell why not.

 

[steveyblack]
