Car audio question

**Cowboy** · 08-30-2010, 01:41 PM

I have been looking around and can't seem to figure out what car audio system I want. I have Bose through out my car but really looking to give my car a little more thump. I want Blow the teenagers that play there scratch base out of the water. Any ideas

Bose is POS!

I took mine out of my 350z and replaced it all with JL Audio

my system list:

JL Audio ZR65
JL Audio XR
JL W6V2 (x3)
Amps:
JL AUDIO 1000/1
JL AUDIO 450/4

Mind you this setup is 4-5 years old, but i still get PMs on 3fiddy forums asking questions about it

Pros: Holy eyeball rattle, best system all around
Cons: car was a pig, rear was too heavy i couldnt even take it for mountain runs/drives.

+1 AND +1!!! GOOD MAN!

i dislike bose greatly too! everyone thinks that they are "top line" when really they are just about average. and JL 4 LIFE! i had a JL system also (had to sell it to pay for my wedding) and was the best system i had ever heard in a car.

I been looking into jl a bit I like the sound my buddy has some jl stuff in his car and it sounds great

**SiFO** · 09-02-2010, 08:16 PM

this is not my first build, i did one with all alpine components and .. i wasnt impressed

imo, JL is th best, hands down, and i have been in this soundsystem game for some time

word of advice before you go an install mad system yo.... invest in dynamat

yes, they are a PITA to install, but they are rewarding when everything gets put back together. I had my whole 350z interior dynamated

if u were in AZ, i would have guided u to the right places to buy/install/tune your system

**Cowboy** · 09-02-2010, 08:37 PM

well AZ is a little far for me at this time but i do appreciate it. I am looking around and finding some good jl stuff online that wont break my wallet. And i just helped my friend dynamat his 1969 camaro not a hard process just very time consuming it was an all day event.

Yeahh im kinda looking into putting a System into my car... Dont know which are good

But i kinda wanna drop it an inch and stick some rims on there before i do all the Audio stuff

Subaru's have those wide wheel wells like the old VWs had. I love the way those look slightly lowered.

Wanted to drop my GTI and inch or so but sold it before I had a chance.

Can't go wrong with names like JL Audio, Rockford Fosgate, Alpine, Kenwood and so on,

**Cer0** · 09-02-2010, 08:50 PM

^^Here is your person to ask. Cadi on custom car stuff. And One1 is another good one for sound.

**blkcadi** · 09-02-2010, 08:55 PM

lolz, thanks for the commercial

**Cowboy** · 09-02-2010, 08:57 PM

Cadi i forgot about you sorry i actually have another question you might have an answer too.
Okay i have an rx8 and it has the dvd nav. my question is how can i make it play normal dvds and the visual come out the nav screen? Do i just need a new dvd player? or is there a software or different way to add or eliminate hardware to do it?
