What setup do you have in your VE?

[evil_ss]

Hi guys
I had locked in the setup I wanted for my 06 ve SS-v, which was: pioneer gm-d9500f amp, Boston sr60 and Boston sr65's. I got a little side tracked and installed a olden iq system from a SS-v series 2, but yesterday I went looking for the combo I wanted only to find out Boston have pulled their car audio line! So my question is what speakers are comparable that I can replace them with? (The amp has built in LOC)
Any other advice appreciated

Cheers

Has anyone got any reccomendations to change out the Bostons?

Who installed the IQ into your Series 1? Do you have full functionality? Satnav etc?

A guy named Nathan. Yes I do, except I chose not to have satnav.

I put some Hertz HSK165's into my car and they sound amazing. They retail for around $499, but I got them from an ebay seller who was doing grey imports and got them for $135 (but isn't any more as I looked them up). I am running them active from a Jaycar 4x100w amp, so no crossover and each woofer and tweeter is getting 100w. This is possible cause I also have a JBL MS-8 processor that is the brains of the system. On top of that I fully deadened the doors. I have 2x10" subs that will be powered by Jaycar 1x1000wrms amp. But yet to build the box. Also got some Jaycar 5.25" in the rear doors that are powered off the MS-8's internal amp.

This is my first post here. Maybe I should create a thread?

Be careful buying Hertz from eBay, there was quite a lot of counterfeit versions of their speakers at bargain prices. Focal, Pioneer and some others were copied too.

I've bought the equipment for my VE system but haven't fitted it yet, I only went cheap this time anyway

I'm going the secondary head unit route as I think the VE fascia kit looks like arse...

Head unit: Pioneer DEH-80PRS (to go in glove box)
Front speakers: Boston Z6 (left over from old car)
Rear speakers: Boston Pro60se (left over from old car)
Subs: 2 x Pioneer TS-W252PRS
Speaker amps: 2 x Pioneer PRS-D800 (150Wrms x 2)
Sub amp: Alpine MRX-M100 (1000Wrms x 1)
Other crap: Dynamat bulk pack, Optima Yellow Top battery.
