LJ51NXX Posted December 3, 2008 Report Share Posted December 3, 2008 A combination of a good, amped set of components, uprated tweeters in the dash and a sub, with the right sized box will give a good sound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dubsy Posted December 4, 2008 Report Share Posted December 4, 2008 Id put my XXX mids up against yours any day but then my fi q would come along and spit them out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scoobydoo Posted December 4, 2008 Report Share Posted December 4, 2008 (edited) Thanks for the help, im going to ask for the Rainbow SLX265's, would that be a good choice?I know i need the adapter ring but is there anything else i need apart from some sound deadening?Im not sure what amp is suitable to run the rainbow components as im totally clueless when it comes to ICE.Also what have people done with their tweeters? Are the standard ones fine as i don't want to mess around with ripping them out as their in a tricky place.the last kicker amp i said would be alrite. its all down to £££s though. if u have more money than that then a better amp could be used.adaptor and sound deading will be suffice to fit the speakers. apart from wires obviously. u get new tweeters with the rainbows. and the standard ones come out real easy. they jus unclip if i member correct.@ noob- scrap the 6x9s and tweeters in the back. good comps up front sub in boot and two amps to run them is the ticket. or one amp to i spose..

DanK Posted December 4, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2008 Thanks scooby, your a big help I can spend about £70 - £100 on an amp, is this enough?Any other suggestions other than the kicker one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scoobydoo Posted December 6, 2008 Report Share Posted December 6, 2008 (edited) id use the kicker caus it runs at 12v which is perfect. will giv u 75w per channel at full chat which would be plenty for the rainbows. if u need any more help giv us a pmcheersGlen Edited December 6, 2008 by scoobydoo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scoobydoo Posted December 7, 2008 Report Share Posted December 7, 2008 this one ....http://www.caraudiodirect.co.uk/kicker-dx3002-p-6508.htmland wiressomething like thishttp://www.caraudiodirect.co.uk/dynamics-a...awg-p-5576.htmlcould be bought seperate though6m rca cable (id buy two of these if u want to have another amp in the future to save from having to run one later. as its the only cable thatll have to run the length of the car for another amp.)4awg ground cable6m 4awg power cable6m remote cableand good length of speaker cable.cabling is important so u may wish to spend more the above is just an example package. u could get thicker wire like 0awg if u felt the need. would prob b a bit excessive though. im sure if u ask someone in a local I.C.E shop they'll sort wat u need for the equipment u purchase.cheers Glen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dubsy Posted December 8, 2008 Report Share Posted December 8, 2008 im going sealed mainly due to the lack of space but also for sq, mark turner is doing the install so i know its gonna be good using the fi q i know itll be loud to, being suited to small sealed enclosures aswell as ported. id love to go ported but youve got to remember its a car at the end of the day and not transport for a giant sub box Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
little rich Posted December 8, 2008 Report Share Posted December 8, 2008 ^ good kit sound off would be good, id like to have a good look at some of your systems one day Rich, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanK Posted December 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 8, 2008 Scooby that wiring kit you put up is that all i need for the components and the amp?Think i might just buy the components and amp and take them to an audio place and they can sort out all the wiring etc.How long would it take to get that installed and how much do you think? Just looking for a rough price? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DanK Posted December 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2008 you after getting the whole lot fitted? or just the components and amp?where are you based bud?Rich,Well im only getting components and an amp so only those to be fitted, not sure what wiring i need which is why im thinking of buying the things and getting somewhere to fit it.Im based in farnborough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scoobydoo Posted December 10, 2008 Report Share Posted December 10, 2008 its not that hard to fit it all. if u tell a shop what u have they would sort u out with the gear to do it. that kit would fit the amp u would jus need to work out how much wire u would need for the speakers. a mate of mine took his to our local and they said £80 to fit a sub and amp which would be a bit quicker id of thought.
