ve upgrade

[VY.abercrombie]

just a few quick questions about upgrading the ve.

what are the decent brands of line out converters ?

if i want to run 2 amps will i need 2 converters ?

can you just a sub without a converter ?

if i want to replace the door speakers will the new ones clip ?

recomended types of splits in the 200-400 $ range?

cheers

doing this upgrade atm with a s2 ute
i just brought my converter from jay car same one is sold in repco aswell price $16.95
after looking round on net had some troubles finding any others. The converts only do 2 channels so if you do front speakers you need 1 if you do front and back you'll need 2 and if doing a sub aswell i'm just going to split the rear RCA's to do the sub aswell as the head unit doesnt have a separate line for the sub.
As for speakers its more a personal taste i like Alpine or pioneer as these are quite crisp and clear sound i tend to stay away from sony as they seem to give a bit to much base making them not as clear.
I'm putting in pioneer 6.5 inch in door with splits in dash from what i hear the door should just sit in to the speaker hole with some slight trimming needed but i havent got that far yet will post up when completed

thanks for the reply mate, ive got a ute so theres no need for rear speakers. im thinking ill just get some nice splits and feed them as much power as i can.

what is the converter called ?

does anyone know if it would be better to use a converter or to find an amp that will take speaker wire ?

also as for speakers ive had a listen to a couple and liked the rockford fosgate T1652-s and the alpine type Rs . any one have advice on these two speakers and poibly a 2 chanel amp to rum them to full potential without spending million's

and if i want to later hook up a sub will i have to split the front RCAs or is there another way ?
cheers

I run the following in my VE ssv ute;

High Pass Amp
2 x 6.5" focal splits
1 x 13" focal sub

Everything runs off the amp with no line out converter needed. Sounds incrediable - I got mine installed by a professional shop, I would suggest you do the same.

is that sub a slim line or just normal? I have been looking into the slim subs just to fit nicely in the cabin. But i am seriously considering doing a total focal set up.

I'm running Alpine type R 6.5" splits and a Polk 4" centre speaker. I'm looking into getting this alpine amp MRP-F600 to run the splits and a sub.
