But i actually like good loud sound systems. But for me Its not about making the your car sound like your the guy collecting cans on the side of the road...... and having them rattling in the trunk.. lol I know all about spl and decibel comps.. But for me and many i grew up with, IT's not about blowing up the 15's in the back but making your car sound like Carnegie Hall, I just upgraded the system in my Yukon to a new 7 inch touch Kenwood and some new infinity kappa series and and you can close your eyes feel like you never in a car seat... Any who have fun warping your car so the windows leak and you go deaf by the time your 30, I get it , But spend the money on quality not distortion... Good luck.. Have fun...

But a sub is key to getting Hi Fidelity sound in a car. Its how you use it. In the 70's when I first started driving. I was the kid with the house speakers in the back and a power booster/graphic eq mounted beside the 8-Track. But I drove a Olds 98 (2 door) and had the space for the speakers. Car speakers kind of sucked in the early 70's. But then the old tri-axle speakers started to appear and things started to change. Better sound than stock, but not like house speakers in a car. Then the old "Mind Blower" brand speakers came out and upped the game again. Loud and clear and more bass than tri-axles, but still lacking in the bass area. Then I thought, put a couple home speakers in the trunk along with the "Mind Blowers" mounted in the back deck. And low and behold the "Hillbilly" sub was born. And the overall sound was grand !!! Like todays shit, but pre-historic versions Fun days back then. Fill the tank, crank the jams and fire up some doobies. Cruise all day and all night. Man I miss that shit !!!

If you ask me a system isnt good untill you can crank up to volume and the sound is still crystal clear. I have 8 pioneer speakers in my car totaling at 2000Watt, crystal clear sound but it vibrates the seats enough to put a smile on a ladies face, and a wet spot in her panties.

I had to fix about 1/3 of my digital audio collection to accommodate the near perfect audio of this system.

It had twin 10 inch subs built into the rear wall behind the seats 4 four inch midrange speakers built into the lower portion of the door. they covered a small portion of the bass , dome tweeters in the upper section of the doors 5.5 coaxial speakers in the door pillars, I used a Nachamichi TD 1200 head unit that went to a electric crossover EQ that controlled 5 amps built into the truck one mounted way up in the dash behind the glove box two under the passenger seat another under the drivers seat and a purpose built sub amp mounted to the lower section next to the seat at the door jam. Small small interior in this truck. with test equipment it pushed 110 decibel's with no distortion through out the entire range. to make this all work I had to have a custom alternator made for the truck with a higher output and squeeze in a larger battery. Had a couple of large capacitor in line for the bass and mid amps. I used nothing but Focal speakers back then and to this day they make some of the best quality sounding speakers. All very high rated speakers for the 1 watt 1 meter specification. I sold Alphasonic amps back then and used all there amps in this one. there amps were way under rated on true power output but were so clean. fun stuff but I wonder at times why I have this continues ringing in my ears sur1795 and little_old_man 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also have Rockford Fosgate 4x6s and 6x9s and a set of super tweeters. I can get crystal clear sound easily.
