Hey guys,
I dont know much at all about car audio, complete newbie, but I do know enough to recognize that I dont like how the stock stereo sounds. I listen to alot of 'hiphop', rap and techno, so I need the `boom`.
I read as much as I could on here, before my brain shut down, and here the 2 things I learned.
- Open top = ****************ty soundstage
- Anything other than 5.25 in the door will require custom work
- I dont know enough learn enough to not f' up unless I post specific questions
Door Speakers
1. I know that several members recommend going to 6.5 in the door, especially if I want the `boom` for my type of music, but this is going to need custom baffles created. Will I get raped at the install shops for this kind of customization?
2. How would a 6.5" door speaker be in comparison to a nice (or what I think is nice) 5.25" component set with door tweeters like the
Infinity Kappa 50.9cs OR
JL VR525-CSi? What about installation cost of the tweeter into the door?
Dash Speakers
1. What sizes should I be looking at? 3.5" ? 4" ?
2. Do I have to buy a set with tweeters too or is the dash tweeters considered a separate speaker?
3. Assuming I go the 5.25 component set route for the door speakers, then would having 4 tweeters have any potential negative impact?
Thanks for reading all this.
I AM a newb to car audio, so please be gentle in your reply.
