Please post your Audio Set-Up

I just wanna know what wet-up you have on your on-board audio entertainment system? E.g. Stereo Head Unit, speakers, subs, amps etc.. Also, please post the product brands you have installed, e.g. Pioneer, Kenwood, Alpine, Kicker etc....

I just want to have some ideas and maybe I can try and use them in the future. Thanks.

hey perfect..I had those same amps at one point.. PPI amps. specially the 21400 draws about 4 times more power than your electrical system can handle it's a very inneficient amp..so if your gonna run that amp.. You will in fact need a high output alternator without a doubt..


My System:
Eclipse 8051HU
Focal 165k3 Componnets (mids in kicks tweets in a-pillars)
2 Audio Control EQT's
2 Audiomobile EVO-R 12" Subs (one's in shipping because it blew..needs to be rebuilt)
U-Dimension u-pro 7.2 (90wrmsx2)
U-Dimension U-Pro 1k.1 (1400Wrms)

(waiting for delivery 1 Arc Audio 2500CXL and 1 Aec Audio 4150 CXLR)

Cheers
Mohawk

just a tip...you may want to wait to get a HU until you have at least tints and a good security system because having a HU stands out and says 'break into my car, i have cool $*it in it'. normally i wouldnt really think this would be true, but in the last month (at my school) i have had four friends that have had systems stolen from their cars. out of our group, i was the only one that didnt have my system stolen, and as well i am the only one without a HU, so you may want to keep that in mind, it will save you a lot of trouble, but of course you'll have to sacrifice some performance.
- just lookin out for my fellow civic owners, G

Blaupunkt HU (hey, I got it for 50 bucks[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]
2 12" W3 JL Audio in custom box
JL Audio 500/1

I sold this, and have:

Power Acoustik 4-way 6X9's
Directed 150 for the 6X9's
15" Eclipse Sub 88150TiDVC

and to finish it off:
RF HU
Looking around at monoblock amps for the 15, any suggestions?

How about component speakers up front.. [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG].. for the Eclipse Ti I'd say a Memphis St1000D would be a good match [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]

Mohawk: I am thinking about component speakers, but I'm not sure what kind to get? As for the amp, are there anyways where I could look at the specs of one or even look at the price?

Thanks,
-Diz.

- Fosgate Power 800.2

- 1 farad RF Power series capacitor with digital bar display
- RF HPC 6x9's
- RF FNX1614 components
- Pioneer Premier P-520 Head Unit
and as soon as the weather warms up and i can handle being outside for an extended period of time, i'll be putting in

I am looking at the new RF line of amps and am very intrigued though, but they are way too pricey, i dont want to wait on my subs any longer.........

<< having a HU stands out and says 'break into my car, i have cool $*it in it'. >>

however, on the other hand, having a dark tint also shouts "hey i'm trying to hide the stuff that's in my car, bust into it and see what it is!"

if anybody wants to get stuff out of your car they're probably gonna go on and do it anyway
