Your audio setup

[hyde]

Even I got a few boom boom on my stereo.

I can control the level of bass my sub produces at my amp. When I first got the amp/sub, my brother made fun of my setup b/c it kept cutting out. I had JUST gotten it hooked up and I hadn't had time to adjust it at the amp before he came out and put one of his cd's in there to try it out. After I got it all adjusted it was fine.

I also didnt want a HUGE system. I just wanted something that would give me some bass.. I have some potential though if I really want some bass. All Ive got to do is open my console and turn a knob to turn the bass on up..

Yeah, that's what we did with his Tacoma and with mine too. I love those little knobs. he HU has a sub level control too, but it's easier with that knob. The system in that Tacoma was CHEAP too, I bought the box for him brand new for $35, the subs were $60 each at Wal-Mart, $200 for the amp, and $150 for the HU with adapter and harness from Crutchfield. So all together about $500.....right where you wanna be Marlon!!

I just found two sets of subs with amps for $299 at crutchfield.
They are MTX 12" powered with remote knob, two subs enclosed in box ready to go. I think about 200watts..

Let me see if I saved the links..

We'll see what happens. I'll start ordering stuff as soon as this next check comes in.

I don't use credit anymore. If I don't have cash, I don't buy!

You're crystal ball is defective (biggrin)

JUST KIDDING MARLON!!!

 

[Marlon_JB2]

Kidding or not, I could donate some of my weight to her and we'd both benefit from the situation.

 

[Stampey]

Wish that was my crystal ball. Damn!

 

[MoladoGuy]

Marlon I'm on your side with that one lol!! Oh well though it's only 1 out of 6 ....

Sorry for the quality, but here are what I could get out of the stock speakers:

Those are pretty good! It's really not necessary to replace the stock speakers, they don't sound too bad. That's why I kinda wanna put factory back in mine and sell my Infinity's....but they're already installed so I guess I'll just keep em. That does sound really good though.

 

[hyde]

Yep, just need a subwoofer. Kenwood did really good with the on-board sound options. Even bass is much better now. High volume is much clearer with this HU on same speakers.

 

[Marlon_JB2]

Someone find me a head unit with the following:

Ability to plug in an iPod with an Aux cable
Whatever else I need to plug in the subwoofer(s?)

How about we just start there?

 

[hyde]

Marlon, just about any new HU will give you this option. Since i have kenwood, I can gladly recommend the newer Kenwood HUs with better button layout, more options, and USB, HD Radio, AUX, CD Changer, Sirius/XM input capabilities.

Check out my topic somewhere in Electronics "choosing a stereo".

The only way to beat you guys is to get a 5 piece band to ride around in your back seat...

My Crutchfield catalog came today... this is a sign.

Yeah, like Hyedipin said, there are many new HU's that come with either a USB input or a "headphone style" plug in the faceplate. Mostly Pioneer and Sony have the "headphone style" plug, but there are others too. And almost ANY new HU will come with preamp outputs on the back for plugging in the RCA's that go to the amp.

 

[Marlon_JB2]

Well I don't like Alpine so that makes things so much easier, right?

What I'm looking is the "headphone style" AUX Input for my iPod.
