Hey all, Just looking for some opinions on speakers for my 97 liberty.. need heaps of bass, and i already have a head unit for my car. What have you guys got?

What have you guys got?

I have McIntosh Speakers in the B4 (the stock system)

In my old Gen 2 i was running stock tweeters,
4 Pioneer Pro Series 6 1/5" speakers (around 300 a pair)
Running off a Pioneer Head Unit (with aux in)
Then i had a Pioneer 2ch Amp running a 12" pioneer sub

I have always loved pioneer for some reason (they're not the ultimate, but it all matched)

Jaycar response kevlars are best bang for buck i reckon. I have the splits in the front and in the rear i have 2 way coaxials. they both need spacers made though. then you could get a sub doofer. I swear by jaycar stuff, its cheap and awesome!

what did you do with the MTX splits you took out? or is this in your other wagon?

[Adam]

yeah mate, in the othr wagon. Im not touchin the new ones sound system, im over the doof doof. I got an ipod adaptor on the way for the jcv head unit though, hopefully it works alright. saved 100 bucks getting it from the u.s.

laughin, the mtx splits were around mid-range price. cost me tad over 200 on special. amped up they would sound sweet. they can take 80wrms.

I've been eyeing off their splits.

I think you may have convinced me.

A Jaycar fan too but I have never tried their audio stuff.

[Adam]

Don't hold me responsible if you dont like it, but like i said, good bang for your buck I think i used some 12mm board to make spacers and hold it in the door. im sure it would sound even better with an amp too! I love jaycar, its a fun shop to look around!

[RX25SE]

Nah, sure they will be fine. I agree, bang for buck. Just after something a little better than stock. My wife thinks I turn into a zombie whenever I get a new catalouge.

[Adam]

Hahaha ive spent many hours on their website!

So, I am normal

they dropped in price recently too. $120 is a bargain for 6" kevlar splits.

[RX25SE]

Right. Time to get off my a$$ and go get some. thanks

this is what i have, it thumps. wouldn't mind a better amp for the splits and coaxials but it does quite well Alpine CDA-9815 Alpine HDA-5460 Alpine R type 6" splits Alpine R type 5 3/4" Coaxial Alpine F-Power (4x75w) 2x 10" Clarion XM1000 Rockford Fosgate punch 500.2

What head unit have you got? We can't rightly advise what to do with your system until we know what you've got. I've got a heap of bass coming out of my system with the following setup Pioneer AVIC-F900BT HU 1 x 5 channel amp (can't remember the brand) 1 x 12" sub - Cadence slimline 1 x pair of splits for the front - Alpine R-Type 1 x pair of splits for the rear. - Alpine R-Type You don't really need splits for the front and rear, but I picked up the set for checp, so went with it. Sounds good. It's nice having 9 speakers around you! If your headunit only has 1 RCA out, then you will get pretty ordinary response if you use this to power all channels on your amp. Ultimately you want a headunit with 3 rca outs, one for each output (Front, Rear and Sub).

thanks for your advice and recommendations guys I have a JVC head unit, model is KD LX333r. will definately check out some pioneer, alpine and jaycar speakers and let ya's know. Am looking for a fair amount of bass

Stock McIntosh head unit with Focal 165v1's in the front and 165cvx's in the rear. Sounds awesome but could sound soo much better if i replaced the head unit. The McIntosh system sends most power to the front speakers which makes the rears barely noticable
