Sound system advice?
 

Yea, I got my first vehicle. It's a 1994 Mazda B3000 3.0L V6 4x4 :-)

Well, I had 2 extra 6x9 speaker boxes so I used them and mounted them in the back, but I was wondering if anyone knew what is the best brand of 6x8 speaker? (yes, 6 by 8, not 6 by 9) They are going in the door and I cant fit a 6x9 in there without having to cut out the grill, but its odd shapped so it would look like crap if I did that. So any suggestions?

I'm going to put 2 subwoofers in the back eventually when I have the money.

b3000, nice a frind of mine had a 84 b2000 that was awesome offroad even tho it was only 2x4

i'd prolly just swap the 6x8s for 6x9s even with tho u have to cut into it a little, and for the subs i'd go with some alpine 10s and a RF amp

I just bought some 6 by 8's, I dont want to cut out the grills on the doors.

They are pioneers, hold on I'll go get the code for them.

EDIT

They are Pioneer 2 way 6x8's model # TS-G6841R, 150w Max, 30w Nomial, 4 ohm independance

deffinately get either 2 10s or 1 12 alpine sub and make sure u get a rockford fosgate amp, they make the best amps out there and alpine is the most respected name in sound systems i have 3 alpine 12s in my truck and they are amazing i love em

Or you can be like me, and piece together Bose speakers from some Cadillacs :P

I had another version of those Pioneer speakers hooked up to a bridged 150 watt amp and they rocked! At high levels of volume I was really impressed so I would say stick with them.

In terms of AMPs and SUBs I would say go for either Rockford Fosgate Punch or Sony Xplode as I have had experience with both of them and have nothing but good to say about them!

Oh and of course If money is no object then I would say go for Alpine all round!!

hope this helps (my choices):

Subs:
1. JL Audio
2. Kicker
3. Rockford Fosgate
4. MTX
5. Audiobahn


amps:
1. Rockford Fosgate (FTW!!! I have one and love it)
2. Kenwood (highly recommended brand by a local car audio shop)
3. MTX
4. Kicker
5. Sony (only the rectangular one, the octagon shaped amp is junk)


as for 6x9's (if you go that route) I would say hands down Pioneer, decently priced and good qaulity for the buck

lol no one recommends pioneer amps or subs? I'm shocked. The route I want to take when i have the money or come accross a deal i can't refuse is (2) 12" Subs and 1 amp, looking for each sub to be at least 1000w or higher, at least 300 rms each, and a 600 watt 2 channel amp or higher.

i would have suggested pioneer if i didnt have alpine in my truck, i had some pioneer 10s and a 300W amp in my old truck and they hit pretty hard for 10s, but now that i have Alpine and i know what they are capable of i suggest them to everyone that asks

I can't afford alpine tho lol i have 800 bucks and I'm trying to sell all mystuff to get money for them

This is what I'm going to get, for 400 dollars new (unless otherwise not recomended)
2 kenwood 12" subs (1200w MAX)
2 12" Chrome spinner grills (look like spinner rims)
and a sony xplod 2 channel amp, i believe its 1000 watts?

hows that all sound?

leave off the spinner grilles, those are for pimp my ride, not the real world

Yes, i must say JL Audio makes good subs. i have 2 12inch subs and they really pound. even though they are a bit more they are very crisp and smooth sounding.

lol well I am gonna be shaggin' in there...

i personnally think they look cheesy, its about the equivalent of puttin walmart spinner hubcaps on a lamborghini, it just shouldnt be done

I like them tho, they are motorized and they are actual metal not plastic lol.

Anyways, remember how i said im selling all my stuff? well i'm about 90% done going through just my old KID stuf

ur subs are gonna sound like they are playing through a fan dude, they sound like they are a good quality product but i still wouldnt put em on, whatever though its not my truck

Maybe I'll sell them and get some money back. i can't buy just the two subs for the price im getting for the 2 subs and 2 grills combined. wierd eh?

that is pretty wierd, but those stores like to throw in extra stuff that they normally cant get rid of like those grilles

Anything by kenwood or eclipse is good. Some Xplodes are also allright.. but stay far away from Alpine.. I've had nothing but trouble with their stuff.

JL and MTX are the best from what i have expirienced i dont kno if they have thoses sizes tho but if u can i would go with JL!
