$800 Budget, Help With System!

Just for your information, they're rated at 4 x 50W MAX. If you look in the manual at the specifications, they're usually rated at somewhere between 17W RMS and 25W RMS per channel. Which as you went on to explain is not really sufficient for decent speakers.

Thats why I said supposedly. Many manufacturers DO claim 4x50 RMS. Of course, its not true.

Where did you a see a headunit quoting 4x50wrms? Besides perhaps an old Jaycar unit.

 

[DAKSTER]

Mostly they come in boxes that have a lot of bad english printed on them.. ( 4x50W RMS highest power for the loud pleasure listening .. etc ) why are we arguing lol I started off by saying supposedly.. its pretty bloody obvious when you look at a 200W amp that its not going to fit into a headunit

 

[WHYtheFACE]

Basically all headunits are 50W MAX, some actually say the RMS rating in the book somewhere i think mine says 17W RMS.

TBH.. i wouldnt touch sony or these cheap powervox amps go to auto bahn, they have a huge variety. and go for clarion, mtx, soundstream, vibe, focal, option audio amps are they best i think i have a mono block and 4 channel and there amazing, and clarion subs are great and soundstream speakers are good and also running a touch screen clarion headdeck... auto bahn can do some great deals, about 700 for everything you need i say do it but up to you

Yeah, if you want a fairly cheap system go to Autobarn or one of the other chain stores with average brands :thumbsup:

Ive got the BlackAir 6" Components running in my car, and have no complaints with them, been in my car for about 3 months. My mates got a full Vibe setup in his VZ Calais and he hasnt had an issue either.

It will sound great mate, won't be able to compare it to a stock system. I noticed you're in the ACT, are you installing?
