The fact that you need ear protection to listen to your stereo is ridiculous.

I'm looking to step up the MJs audio in the very near future, the 6 1/2s in the doors are getting boing.

 

looking for some 6x9s in the rear corners and some kind of slim series subwoofer.

 

I have a little experience wiring up speakers and did a sub once, but I'm pretty lost on what to get and all that.

 

 

130+ dB is a bit much though.

I always wondered what my stereo could do. kinda envious that you know yours. :D

Willy,

I totally agree, a totally senseless wast of time, money and effort. Don't get me wrong, a nice sounding stereo is something I too enjoy. Buy pushing the envelope to ear drum busting levels is complete foolishness.

Buy a nice head unit, and a good quality brand of speakers. You will enjoy a quality listening experience, and well as keep your hearing till the end of your days .....

I have about a 150$ Alpine head unit and excellent quality Infinity speakers. My fronts are component 5 1/4's with separate tweeters and crossovers. Then 4x6 in the rear in fact locations. I have thought about a small amp a couple times, but its not necessary as this setup affords me plenty of good quality sound.

can any one guess the total cost of my set up?

 

[beaterjeep]

I had you beat by .1 dB in Baby, back when she had a stereo in it. It was just a little old Pioneer head unit, 2 12" Kicker Comp VR4's in small boxes, and a 300W amp (yes, that's all the amp was, and the dB was verified via a dB drag I was in). There's pics of the setup on here somewhere, but I don't really want (or have the time to) dig them up right now. I can add them again if need be when I get home later this week.

[Pete M]

I mean no offense, but I'm not sure that anything makes someone sound like an old fart faster than telling a kid his radio is too loud. :clapping: Although those numbers are pretty high. :D

[beaterjeep]

Come on now Pete, we are still kids.

[CWLONGSHOT]

I remember the head unit was about a buck and a half. The rear speakers a buck and a quarter and IIRC, the component fronts just over two bills... so under 500 total. Put your money in to the speakers and you will be happy...

hahahahahaha :thumbsup:

I have invested a grand total of $2,570+

[beaterjeep]

My deck was free (from a friend that upgraded), the subs were $80 each, the amp I actually found in a junkyard car for $25, and the friend that gave me the deck built the boxes and gave me the wiring for $20. So, all told I only had $205 into it :brows: .

 

Sold the subs and boxes off so I could afford a water pump for her.

[project88mj]

i would too but not for my chevy ... its a jeep thing

Its all about the priorities......... :doh: :doh: :shake: :fool:
