System for a VZ Ute

[Fun_Bucket]

Once you finish your system i think you should post some photos an what you used lol, im getting a system soon but no idea what, i will just see what you use an get rough ideas haha i bought some new tweeters from a mate yesterday

Why did you just buy a set of tweeters, what are you going to do with them? What's wrong with the stock ones? There's not much point in just swapping out a set of tweeters, even if they are some what decent, you need to have balance through out the rest of the system.

cause they were cheap an my mate needed some money, so he is selling stuff he has around his house, so i thought why not buy them

I still don't understand though. What are you going to do with them? If you replace your current stock tweeters and then want to upgrade in the future, are you just going to buy a set of mid bass drivers on their own and then try to source an appropriate crossover?

I'm not digging at you i just think that it's strange to buy a set of tweeters on their own with no real purpose for them (that you've mentioned so far)

tbh, ive really got no idea why i bought them lol

yeah ill upload photos and that as i go along whitesack haha though my main opinion though like i suggested before is keep it as a two speaker stereo and tweeters, no addition of more speakers cos its too loud for the cab haha i like the bass to dominate a little bit so more speakers would just defect that and also make it look untidy in my opinion haha but each to their own aswell

and #### one_and_only haha thats alotta money for just tweeters, you must be a big audio fan haha

The amount of speakers you have has nothing to do with the amount of volume you will get. Turn your fader to one side, then back to the middle, it doesn't become twice as loud does it?

What will have an effect is the speakers themselves. Sweetfu also tried to explain to you that one pair of speakers correctly positioned will sound better than multiple set's poorly positioned.

A more expensive speaker doesn't mean that is will nessacarily be a louder speaker. In fact i know many speakers that are very expensive, that will not play very loud at all, but that is not what they are designed for. Pick a set of speakers that suits your needs.

You get what you pay for my friend - they're 100w RMS tweeters and sound fantastic.
If you're after something a bit cheaper I had a set of clarion 6.5" splits which did the job fairly well (70w RMS 130w peak).They cost me $240 from memory. Failing that alpine R splits are pretty decent too.

It all comes down to personal preference, because I don't like Alpine Type-R Splits and have never heard a Clarion speaker I like either. Not having a go at you, just saying from one person's point of view they may 'do the job' but from another they will not. Technically a $2 speaker from a garage sale would do the job.

I happen to think that alpine tweeters are too loud but the clarions sounded pretty good. It just goes to show that you should listen to a speaker before buying them.
