im getting ready to get my "system" in my car, and i want to kno people's oppinions on the system, i know it sounds good already, just would like to know and help decide on stuff
Or maybe another 500 or less watt amp... any suggestions for anything that you would change.... i listen to mostly New Alternative music... blink 182, the used, some heavy stuff like slipknot or System of a down, but i listen to Rap every once in a while and would like the bass. i dont want to take up that much space in the trunk so i think that one top of the line 10 inch is right for me... but any suggestions would be great... thanks for reading mi thread
im thinking getting the eclips HU.. cept a different model, the reason being is MP3 format sucks in car Audio
CD5423 http://www.cartoys.com/cartoys/showd...oduct_ID=23584
Same features basically cept no MP3 but 5vPreouts instead of 2.4 or whatever it was
then im thinking on just getting an Amp and see how well the stock speakers handle... any suggestions on that? Around 50 to 150 watts RMS... or will i blow the living **** outta the speakers? whats the max i can do RMS on the stock speakers..? without ****ing killing them the 1st time i turn it up
THEN im gonna get Prolly one JL 10w6 or 2 JL 10w0 dont know yet... and must have an amp that will power them, whatever i decide..
if the stock speakers blow... ill get kappa fronts and jl rears
I think the Alpine's easier to use and has comparable features in that price range (than the Eclipse).
I'd suggest you get 2-way speakers for the rear, NOT 3-way. The 3rd 'super tweeter' or whatever they call it is a marketing gimmick. It's not worth the money, and could reduce the midbass of the 6x9 speaker because it reduces the cone area.

You're WAAAY wrong on this. MP3 is ideal for car audio, with all the background noise you'll hear in the car, the minor errors in the MP3s will be invisible.

Don't waste your time/money with amping the stock speakers.

Your call, will likely depend on your budget. 2 10w0s will likely be louder than 1 10w6 though, but may not sound as accurate. You'll have to decide if you can hear the difference or not.
192 is fine. I can usually pick out 128 files, 192 sounds good, and 256 takes up too much space. A variable bit rate would be better though, I think the line in lame is "-alt preset medium" or something like that. That'll give you a good compromise between size and quality. If you want higher quality (and bigger size) try "standard" "extreme" or "insane" instead of "medium".
More effective use of disk space. It all depends on where you draw the line between size and quality. You can't have both, but there are ways to make compromises.
