Whats your current setup and what do you like/want to change out of it? what do you have planned(feasible plans only, not dreams). post pics if you'd like. feel free to post coments and suggestions about others systems(suggestions, not "your system sucks!")
i'll go first i guess.
CURRENT SETUP
HU- Pioneer DEH4600MP
FRONT- Pioneer TS-A1681R 6-1/2" 4-Way Speakers
REAR- Pioneer TS-A6991R 6"x9" 5-way Speakers
SUBS- Audiopipe TXX-BC15 15inch - SEALED
AMPS - Mids+Highs - Rockford Fosgate 800a4
AMPS - Lows - Rockford Fosgate 1000a2
WHAT I'D LIKE TO CHANGE/FUTURE PLANS
First thing i do is switch out the 6/12 coaxials for some componets. They sound nice, but not enough power for what i need in the front and the 6x9's i have get louder than they do so i cant really hear them. i'm 99.9% sure its going to be Infinty kappa perfects.
After that i want to upgrade the HU to a Premier Pioneer DEH-880MP because i want 1. 6.5 volt preouts and 2. a dedicated sub out.
and last,2 15 inch kickers L7's, as the audiopipes aint that great.
I'm 100% happy with the 6x9's i chose as well as the amps i chose.
PROBLEMS YOU FIND WITH YOUR SET-UP
I find that i have too much bass and not enough highs. sometimes i cant hear the highs over the bass. but, i was running a 400a4 before and i havent installed the 800a4, so i have more power for my highs now. and after i install my kappa perfects, i think it'll even out. i also think i need a second or third battery, as i only have one deep cycle. suggestions?
Lets see your setups!!!
Ill play.
I have 2 6.5" Infinity kappa front speakers 3 ways
2 4x6" plate infinity kappa Plate speakers in the rear doors.
2 6x9" Infinity kappa 3 ways.
and 2 Infinity Basslink T's in the trunk.
And im replacing my current deck, an alpine CDA-9830 i believe, ill check on that again later, but im replacing it with Alpine IVA-D300. SHould have enough $$$ by next thursday.

The system has arrived.
nice systems. i hope to have half of what you guys are running..
Ok...
2 12" Kicker L7s
1500 watt Memphis amp
Eclipse 4x6s
Eclipse 6x9s
Eclipse 3434 series headunit
55x4 watt Memphis amp
180 amp HO alternator
Optima yellow top battery
custome ported box with Reflex and the exact color of my car sprayed on it
dynamat
hinges removed from trunk lid that allow it to stay up; so it weighs more and puts more weight down to also help reducing the rattle
memphis rcas...
here it goes:
1. Premier 860MP h/u
2. 4 x 6" Infinity plates (to be replaced by R.E. Comp set, i just need to install them
)
3. 6 x 9" Pioneer 3 way co-axils
4. Pioneer 4 channel amp (the one that says 300w on it)
5. MTX 801D 400w @ 4 ohm. (i have a Orion 2500D but its being repaired as we speak)
6. 2 12" Resonant Engineering SX's
5. 2 Everstart MAXX batts
6. Second Skin Sound Deadner 125 sq feet of it.
The only thing i would change would be the front 4x6 plates which are gonna go very soon. if i could fit it i would soooo do 4 12" SX's in the trunk ported. and maybe one day a wall.....and soon to come a new lower tuned box.

How about you swap out audiobahn al together :p. My freind just put 500 CAD into 2 flame compression 12's.... Ya they are "loud" as hell... but the audio qaulity is horrid. Not to mention his previous setup had the Audiobahn amp go it in 8 months and the naturals were finished off as well.
