so what do u think? go with decent speakers or a well tuned system? especially with OEM+ its being a tuned 3way

Well tuned system always beats just adding better speakers.

then looks like I'm saving up $1200 for their full speaker setup and adding a good sub later. i had the original base system b4 but sold it due to an emergency =/ and the sub was weak... 100 watt RMS and i was always messing with bass settings

In fact, I would bet my house that I could install a $800 processor and multi-channel amp and get better sound with the stock speakers than buying $800 speakers, a multi-channel amp, and no processor.


I should add, this is provided you are worried about sound quality first.

and thats where it gets confusing and out of my league tho. and the way i am, if i can't do/install it myself or understand it then it's not happening

I understand that, my point was just to highlight the importance of proper tuning for each car.

ya i got you. then guess I'm going back to OEM+ i'd hate to spend all this money on parts and hate it

@TOOSTUBBORN2FAIL i just realized they have that $800 option you just talked about and for $400 more you get all 8 speakers too

Or for the same money you could get an aftermarket headunit that has AndroidAuto and AppleCarplay built in along with time alignment and autoEq, a set of components, an amp and a sub. Lots of different ways to go when you define what your budget is. You could get decent components and a digital amp for a lot less than $800, thought you wanted this on the cheap.

[lbroskee]

All head units that the features I want are expensive, I hate carplay

[TOOSTUBBORN2FAIL]

Those auto eq units are horrible.

I am curious what a digital amp is?

[toast]

Yes, sorry, let's be anal about it and pretend to not know what I'm talking about. Class D amps. I'll leave you enthusiasts to continue, I've never won anything in IASCA.

I was trying to be anal or insulting, I was sincerely curious if you were talking about one of the newer dsp amps.

[toast]

No, I simply meant a class D. They are not digital and the D doesn't stand for digital but they are still commonly referred to that way. The little Alpine discussed above is a class D. I'm running a pair of Picasso Nano's for front components and a sub.
