[NotNice]

dammm.. a whole gran on a system wow.. i wish i had a gran for my system. however it only cost me say 300 for a banging system.. got both of your options for that price.. but a gran whoaaa. i would frikkin rip appart mt doors n install subs in them.. some how some way

I would start out with some nice components in the front with sound deadening. Personally i like JL audio or Hertz. Then i would look into subs and an amp. Don't even worry about the rear speakers they barely make any difference especially if you have a sub. If you don't already have a head unit that is the first thing you should get. Just my opinion.

I only have subs well a single kicker l7, and stock speakers and aftermarket deck, sounds good enough for me

yea im thinking apline type r's at the very least the ones i posted along with jl audio amp i have heard nothing but good things about there amps! probably gonna be at least a week before i get everything bought and ready to install.

thanks for the suggestions guys!

the JL "slash" amps are good, but they're also tightly regulated. meaning: given a different input voltage (car off, 12.8-13.4v...car running down the road, 14-15v) they will be pulling the same amount of current from the electrical system as long as the voltage is over like 10v. under that, they just shut off.

in other words, dont be tempted to just throw a 1000/1 and 450/4 in there.

type r's are good. i miss them

as for the speakers, get some components (endless amounts of speakers you could use, havent gotten mine yet so i cant make any suggestions) and a 4 channel amp. i took out my rear speakers and havent noticed, and my rear seat passengers only notice that theyre gone if the bass is really loud

I agree my buddy has a type r and it sounds really good. I find rear speakers to be pretty useless. If i were you i would get sound deadening stuff it makes a huge difference.

My old set up was 2 12" type r's powered by a alpine pdx 1.1000. It sounded nice, but I knew I was able to get better quality subs. Sold the subs along with the box, kept the amp and bought a Jl 13W7 for a steal. The bass of the 13W7 totally kills the type R's by a long shot. The set up was all bought for a about a grand also.

I also have some 3 way kappa series mids and MB quarts for the 6x9. I'm still in search for another 4 channel pdx amps to power them though.

word on the street is the brand new type r subs are actually really, really good. they even have shorting rings! that's almost unheard-of for entry level drivers.

what that means is lower distortion (a "cleaner" and "drier" sound) and the ability to play slightly higher instead of sounding like garbage over 80Hz.

went in to the shop near my town and was pretty disappointed they offered a package he just set up for about 550$+ install.. jl audio 12 inch subs and mono amp here is the link with the info. i was not going to buy it anyways but he claims the subs are better than alpine type rs

was what he was saying true? they are only 250rms type r 10s are 600rms
