Audio help for a beginner?

StanceZ37

yea im probably better off getting it installed.. a couple days ehhh not good. i daily my z in the spring/summer so it would have to be a one day project..

RonRizz

I would recommend just running them off of the head units amp, or picking up a small 2 channel, such as the power pack and dedicate it to those rears.
( Personally, I would run them off the head units rear channels )
Another alternative would be to find a decent 5 channel amp. 2 channels fronts, 2 channels rears, 1 for sub.

If you have the extra coin, Jump on the 5000.

ok it would be nice to afford the 8000nex with the capacitive touch lol but i couldn't afford a grand for a hu

Nillaz

That capacitive screen is worth every penny and I couldn't imagine going back to a resistive screen.

Even still, the 5000 is a hell of a HU and a good recommendation.

StanceZ37

oh i bet it is! the interface looks badass and thank you, i think thats what i will go with.

RonRizz

If I was going to make improvements to the list, It would be to the component speakers. After all, 90% of what you hear comes from them.

Morel Tempo 6's about $325
Image Dynamics CXS64-v2's about $380
Hertz HSK 165.4's about $425
There are literally hundreds of options............

so your saying hertz would be the best option? i see on this forum alot of people say good things about hertz. now i have a question. if i use the hertz will the amp be able to hold the 2 front and rear components plus the tweeters?

SouthArk370Z

There is no "best option" for everybody. Everybody's ears are different. Any of RonRizz's suggestions should work very well (a Q&D look at reviews on the Web confirms this). To find the "best option" will take some critical listening/comparing on your part.

Edit: Get a good parametric equalizer to get the most out of your speakers. Most speakers only have 2-3 areas where they need some help, so a 3-band is all most people need.

hmmm thats something ill have to look into.. well i do want to thank ron about the hertz suggestion i was listening to some videos of the speakers and wow!!! they sound amazing just from watching some youtube videos!! i was looking at reviews on them and alot of people say nothing but the best about them. so i think i will be going with the hertz components.

RonRizz

Best option??? No, Just throwing a few ideas at you. I use the hertz HSK 165 XL's, and think they sound phenomenal. I have used many, many, many high end components before, and these are by far the best I've had.
If you want the best, perhaps you should look at these.......Focal Utopia Be No.7 6-3/4" 3-way component speaker system at Crutchfield.com

As far as your amp goes, you will be in the same situation as before....running the rears off of the head unit power, and just the components and sub off the amp.
