What kinda of car? How much do you want to spend? Is this just going to be a daily driver car? What do you listen to most? Do you listen to the radio or Cds more? Answer those for me, and I'll help you a little more.
I can tell you to say away from Jensen and Aiwa. I both think they're worthless. CD players that are nice, Alpine, Kenwood, Pioneer, and Eclipse. Speakers, Alpine, Eclipse, Boston, Kenwood(they're ok). I can't really help you now. But get back to me on what you own. Later. |

Holy kenwood and jensen are not good for audio. The speakers/subs can be blown easily. For good audio, its going to be pricey. I recommend JL Audio. |

i have a Hyundai Elantra ('97).
i use it to get around and cruise....but that doesn't mean i don't want a good system...:p
at the moment...i'm willing to spend up to $200...but once i start my part-time job...i can spend up to $300...
I mostly listen to trance/techno/hard trance.....obviously:D
And i mostly listen to CD's...not so much the radio...but i don't mind listening to it every once in a blue moon.
Appreciate your help!

| With $200 you'll barely be able to buy a cd player man. Sorry to be that way. But unless you're going to nickle dime it, that's all you'll be able to buy. I say, save up your money until you have about $600-700. That way, you can get a nice Cd player(that will last) and some good speakers. And MAYBE even an amp to power the speakers. |

Just had to post a pic:D
The best advice I can give ya, don't waste your money on all that e. Get the nessacery and get a supercharger or turbo. I wasted thousands of dollars all on e like headers, spacers, intake, exhaust, bored manifold etc... Now I'm getting scrap pieces to make a custom supercharger cause i dont have the loot! Do yourself a favor, save the money and get the big stuff, cause believe me, It won't be fast enough!
cheers |

Ummmmm, yeah go ahead and do a supercharger right away. Then have fun when you over boost it and say good bye to your rods or rings. And don't waste all that money on headers, heads and intake, because why not get a supercharger. Ok, a supercharger pushes air into the intake, and if that intake doesnt flow well, then what. Also, if the heads flow stock CFM, you're still screwed. Same goes for headers, you've just got another bottle neck with stock manifolds. Ok, now onto the bottom end, if you're running stock rods, crank and pistons not made for extra boost, or even running stock compression, all you're asking for is a blown engine. I'm not saying that running a supercharger on a stock car is worthless, because you'll gain some nice horsepower, but don't just throw it on there without modding your car first. |

I recommend audiobahn.
and if you're looking for some punchy bass, I suggest their 34" sub
It's even big enough to fit a small child.
and let's not forget the stats.
The price tag is alittle heafty at $5,999.99 USD, but I'd say it's well worth the money. if you have an amp or two that can power it, that is.
:D :D :crazy: |
