What sound equipment do you have in your car?!?

Postby br3ndan on Wed Feb 22, 2006 4:15 pm

hey all,
just reading throught the forums and noticed that there is a post for tuners so now its my turn, car audio is my passion, i am wondering if people could post pics of what they have in their car ( please colour in plates if they are visible) and please people be honest im lookin for genuine people to share what they have in their ride, not people that are going to look up car stereo installs on google and paste pics of some randoms car..
Smile
hope to see some good ones.

in a few weeks ill post pics of some of the installs i have done/ help with in mates cars and so on.

Enjoy Very Happy

you know, it's issues like these that make me feel sorry I was born a human being ;]

I'm kidding (or am I). I absolutely detest people who blast music as loud as possible just so they could be heard by their environment. The booming sounds of overdriven subwoofer is so fuckin annoying, it's just a matter of days before I get out of my car on a traffic light and beat the living shit out of the dickhead who decided that I should hear whatever the hell he was listening to. To top it off, the dickheads who do it have to, just HAVE TO listen to some nasty crap.

Putting a 1000W woofer in a car is just plain stupid. First things first - listening to high sound levels anywhere, at any time damages your hearing. For a while, the little hair in your ears is just gonna curl up - you get annoying noise in your ears (like after a concert). Then after a while, they'll give up and you wind up with permanent damage. By the time you're 40, you won't hear anything above 10khz, and trust me, you don't want that. A pair, or let's say two pair of 25W speakers is MORE than enough for a person to enjoy all the subtleties of music one can actually enjoy in a car.
Second of all, I pity the imbecils who will buy a woofer just because it says 1000W on it. It's not 1000W.. It's probably not even a hundred. With a 1000W amp/woofer combo, on a regular car battery... Well, you wouldn't get very far. I have a pair of 25W (tweeter)/75W (woofer) speakers, and I when I get them to 6 (out of 10), my windows start shaking.

Loud != Good.

Ok, I have not taken any pictures, but I've a 600w amplifier and 6x9 speakers in the back. In front I have still the original speakers, but I'm going to buy new speakers to it and an amplifier for them. I have got a sony mp3 car stereo.

Oh.. my car has a Pioneer, but it's a "modest" equipment ( 50W x 4, i think) because i don't like tunning in a no Sport car.Of course, I respect whatever people do in their cars

i will take some more pics this weekend of my mates car, just put in the new sub and the amps, but i warn you in advance that the sub box was made a 2 am by 2 VERY drunk people. so its not the straightest or best looking box, but it definatly does the job.
trying to get him to enter a SPL comp. cos i can tell you that the bass in his car is F@$*ing awesome Razz
