I visited an audio shop yesterday to upgrade my audio system and here is what I got:
They recommended me a setup below:
- 1 Relay box (basically a switch so I can connect my Ipod)
- The connector for Ipod will be located in the glove box
- 1 Crossover (Audio Control 4XS)
- 6 channels digital amps (1 amp per channel). They offered me amps from Flying Mole (model: PM-C161dc)
- Monster cables on all connections
- Display boxes setup for the amps in front trunk.
- Labour fee
Note: I am going to still use the stock speakers (the rear has Infinity Kappa speakers) and stock head unit. I already have CD player and changer.
Information about the amps (look for 1 channel ones) can be found here:

The specs are as follows (PM-C161dc is for DC and goes for about $500 each in here):
Rated output: 160watts/4 ohm x 1ch
Frequency Response: 5Hz to 25kHz (4 ohm/+0, -3db)
Distortion rate (THD): 0.05%(50watts at 1kHz, 4 ohm)
S-N ratio: 120dB(400Hz to 30kHz BPF)
Input Sensitibity/Input Impedance: 1V rms / 10kohm (VRmax)
Power Consumption: 0.6A/1ch (without LED), 5A/1ch (with LED)
Power Supply: DC 12 to 14.4V
Dimensions: 46.5(w) x 132.5(H) x 327(D)mm
Weight: 1 kg
They quoted me $7000 for the setup above. The amps cost about $3000, about $1500 for switch, relay, cables, and $2500 for display boxes and labour. System has lifetime warranty including labour. Wanted some opinion from your guys about this.
Thanks!
