Welcome to Just Commodores, a site specifically designed for all people who share the same passion as yourself.
Alright, scrap all the stupid Alpine suggestions.
5 THOUSAND DOLLARS IS WELL AND TRULY WHERE THE SERIOUS BOYS COME IN, LEAVE YOUR ALPINE CRAP AT HOME.
Brands including (but not limited to): Morel, Crescendo, VIBE, Audison, Rainbow, Image Dynamics, Focal, DynAudio, DLS and so on are much better starting points, brands where you pay for quality products as opposed to the badge on it.
The main thing we need to know in order to budget this for you is what sort of a headunit you are wanting. If you want a standard run-of-the-mill headunit then your looking at max $500. If you want a touchscreen, DVD, navigation and so on setup, then you're looking at $1500+. As you can see, this will have a large effect on the budget left for other components.
So what I'm really saying is have a look around for a headunit you like and then report back to us with the model number and price of it. That way we can work out speakers, subs, amp, installation costs (wood for box, wiring, sound deadener etc.) at a later point when we are aware of what remains of the budget.
Popular headunit brands include: Pioneer, Alpine, JVC, Kenwood and Clarion.
im gettin this headunit Pioneer AVH-P2300DVD for $350 (ebay special FTW lol) i also started reading up on some of those brands and found some speakers and a sub i like for what seems a good price. they are
4x morel hybrid ovation 6" pro speakers 140wrms for $1037
1 set of morel maximo coaxial 6x9 2 way speakers 100wrms for $194
1 morel ultimo 12" 2 ohm 1000wrms subwoofer for $803
i just need to know what amps i should use to power these if you could let me know that would be great
As long as you are aware of the pros/cons of ordering from the US then that is fine. Problems you may encounter: DVD region may be set to the US, making any Australian Region 4 DVDs useless. FM radio increments may be different and you may not be able to get some channels etc.
Are you saying you want 4 sets of front speakers? Also, don't worry about 6x9s, just get 6 inch coaxials for the rear fill.
Great choice on the subwoofer, it's highly regarded.
Are you doing the installation? With all these expensive components the installation techniques need to be top notch to get the most out of the parts. Also, be sure to include sound deadening in your budget. Roughly $220 for a bulk pack of dynamat will do just fine.
sorry i meant just 2 sets of 2 but now i guess it'll be 3 sets lol im not doin the install myself got a guy that'll do it for me hes a artist at this **** ay
ill look into the deck about the region codes and wat not i couldnt care less about radio stations lol
also mate regarding amps am i better going with a mono powering the sub and a 4 and a 2 channel for the speakers? and if theres any you would recommend?
cheers for all the help buddy
