sound system set up? opinions please?

[craigp172cup]

right, was gonna get a professional install, but have decided against it as dont want to spend that much money so, what do yous think of this set up

JL audio coaxial speakers for the front - £149.99 running off my alpine head unit (4x50w)

Vibe 10" or 12" enlcosed sub with port.

For the amp im not sure, would i be better bridging a 2 channel or is a mono amp the way to go, i dont know much about mono amps.

Absolutely any suggestions or crticisms welcome!

cheers

coaxials are bound to be good as they are jl audio

if i was you i would buy a cheap 2 channel amp to run them, they will sound are better of an amp rather than through a headunit

the sub will be good (got for 12")

get a monobridgable amp for the sub (the birdgeable means that u could always add another sub to it later on) make sure the amp has headroom on the sub though

what rms has the sub got??

Or you could buy a 4-channel to do all of it. Though a decent powerful one could cost you more but JBL do good budget and powerful ones like the JBL75.4

£148 for a set of coaxials up front....no chance mate!!

get comps for the front there is no other way the oem speakers are comps

get an amp for them even if it is only small.

and a sealed sub

 

[craigp172cup]

the only reason i was going for coaxials is for ease of fitting, i have never fitted components and thought it might be quite tricky? anyone fitted them before? is it difficult?

If wiring the speakers to an amp in the boot, do you need to wire them to the headunit also? what route through the car would you take for the sire from the speaker to the amp in the boot?

Why not mate? they are JL audio, what would you suggest?

 

[Cupster]

what music you listen to? Keep the box sealed IMO for more contolled beats.

 

[toasty]

would definitly go with comps man, although im sure the JL coax's are indeed, very good. Lol their comps are better though

I would just get some old house speakers, preferably from your nans house as they will be in good working order, (and you will get them free no doubt!) wire them straight in, don't worry about lose wires, use sellotape and stick them along the roof!! job done!
