any advice would help, just got back from a dealer and they were trying to tell me that sonic isn't an authorized dealer and if the speakers blow than theres nothing they can do. The shop tried to pitch an amp, sub, and installation for 2g's..... (same sub)

 

It's true that they aren't an authorized dealer, but I've bought a bunch of stuff from them without any problems. I think they offer a warranty for a price if thats a concern for you.

Your components are really a personal choice. If it sounds good to you, that's what counts personally I would skip the cap.

 

the cap wont make a difference? But everything else looks good? Also have you heard of Hertz speakers? The shop was going on about how good these speakers are and how they were one of the best they heard... heres a link to them http://compare.ebay.com/like/2007208..._lwgsi=y&cbt=y

 

From my experience the cap could help if your elec. system is having trouble keeping up. But I would try it without first.

The other stuff looks good, didn't look at the wiring kit though. Heh.

How are you driving the front speakers? Shaker 500?

Edit: oh ya, the hertz speakers I heard sounded pretty awesome. But they were from the higher range line. With a professional install. Not sure which ones you linked to, your link sent me to the eBay homepage.

 

yeah for now, was thinking of getting a descent amp or maybe just get a multi channel amp to run the sub and door speakers got one in mind? But have you heard of Hertz speakers?

 

Edited my last post for the hertz.

Sry, I'm not up on the latest stuff. Any decent 3 or 4 channel amp should do. I'm using a 6 channel JL amp to drive an active 3way setup. Depending on what your stock setup is you could be looking at a more complicated instal by adding the front channel amp though.

 

You might find this useful http://iihs.net/fsm/?dir=499 it's an online service manual with wiring diagrams for the stock audio system.

These are the speakers.

 

Haven't heard those ones. But I don't like the orange cone lol. There isn't a huge selection of 5x7 or 6x8 quality speakers at decent prices out there. I have a 5.25 and 1" tweeter on a plate in the 6x8 location. You could also put a 6.25 coaxial with an adapter plate in there.

 

I would be very wary of buying Hertz speakers off of ebay. I've heard that there have been a lot of fakes floating around and they're not terribly easy to find from a reputable dealer. Never heard those door speakers, but alpine should always be fine. I didn't like the 6x8" selection so I fabricated some adapters and used 6.5"s and I'm really happy with the sound. The sub will sound nice and the amp should be alright, although hifonics is a bit hit-and-miss.

I would agree with skipping the capacitor, it's a bandaid for the problem of not supplying enough current for your system and you should just fix it if you have serious dimming problems. I would not buy that amp kit, most of the stuff I've seen that cheap will NOT be true 4 gauge wire and will have a huge jacket. Somebody told me about knukonceptz.com and I highly recommend their wiring after using some of their 0 gauge for my big 3 install. It's reasonably priced, the gauges are accurate, and it's very flexible so it's easy to install.

 

I like everything listed! I've been installing car audio since I was 16 years old (20 years). For me personally JL Audio Subs aren't worth the extra money. Im currently running an Alpine Type R 12 and to me, its just as good without all the extra money. Now, I do like the new JL Audio XD600/1 amplifier and will probably be getting one for my car to replace the Kicker 400.1 I have now. But that's just my opinion. It will sound awesome either way. Choose your sub box well. It's a big part of how it'g going to sound and look in the trunk.

 

thanks for the info guys, as for the sub box which one do you recommend? It would obviously have to fit that sub because its huge
