Need advice on stereo build....

mengel · 02-06-2011, 10:46 PM

With a tax return coming I am finally upgrading my 370Z base "crap" sound system. I am putting a list of things I am thinking about getting and I am not an expert and need your HELP. Some of the components I like other things people in audio business said they were good. Please let me know what you think of what I want to get and let me know if I am missing something or a better product. I trust you guys so much more than brick and mortar car stereo guys. I don't care what brand but I dont want to spend crazy $. I want good crisp sound with natural sounding base. I dont need to win a car stereo competition but I want rock to sound like rock and if I play some rap music I want to hear the base. I am 37 and have not had to think about this stuff for about 15 years and time have changed any help would be great.

Head Unit
Pioneer AVIC-X920BT 6.1-Inch In-Dash Double-Din Navigation A/V Receiver with DVD Playback, Built-In Bluetooth and Widescreen Display.

Speakers

Been wanting to do a nice box for the roadster, interested in flying me out there?

I haven't tried our enclosure in a roadster, but it does fit base models. If you would like I will ship you one and you can see if it works if it does I will charge you 50% off retail for trying it. I will pick up shipping. if it does not work I will also pick up shipping back.

If you would also like I can set you up with all the rest of this set up as well.

Kenwood eXcelon XR-4S Reference Fit 4-Channel Vehicle AmplifierI have in stock for you, may want the 5 channel version and run the amp brisged to the front speakers, essentialy making a 3 channel amp. it does not cost that much more.

I can get you a Kenwood version of this unit very similar, however For sound quality I like Kenwood much better, personal preference.

Boston Acoustics SR60 - Car speaker - 85 Watt - 2-way - component
I can get you these speakers as well. I do also have a open box set of pro 6.5" versions if you would like. If I can make a suggestion please check out the Hertz High Energy line. you will find that they will outperform the Bostons.

Kenwood 10 Shallow sub
I have this sub in stock ready to go as well.
