Need good, cheap car stereo setup. Please help.
Forgive me . . . I don't know much about this stuff. Just asking for
advice. I just got a 1996 Mustang. The stereo system in it is horrible. I don't want a system that is anything incredibly loud or with huge bass. I just want a system that sounds a lot better and is cheap. How cheap can I replace this system? I know I'll need to buy a CD player. What else? Will just replacing the speakers make a difference? Will I need an amp? I think if I buy a CD player now, it's still gonna sound bad. Like I said, nothing expensive, but something that sounds good. |

Ebay is your friend, both used or new.
Absolutely! IMHO profile CA, US acoustics, and Legacy amps are very good for the $$$. You can get a multichanel amp from either of them for under $90. Even less used. Of the 3 US acoustics is the best IMHO. For a basic car setup amp I would think amp is certainly an overkill. HU with 4x22W full bandwidth power is more than enough. Search for cerwin vega, lanzar, profile, legacy, bazooka coaxial speakers. IMHO all will sound better than stock speakers and wont blow the bank. Pioneer TS-G line would be my recommendation. I have them and these sound awesome while not being too expensive A basic CD head should do you well. I'm gonna recommend poineer but thats my preference. Agreed again. Peter |

Like I said, nothing expensive, but something that sounds good. first thing you should do is set a budget for yourself. then go to local shops or better yet shows and listen to a few systems. go with the brands that sound best to you and then make a decision based on that. ebay is a very powerful tool if used carefully. you can find some good deals if you are smart about it. i really reccomend the first thing you replace is the factory headunit and speakers. then work your way up from there by amplifying your speakers and adding cd changers or whatever other options you want.

Sorry... I should have clarified...
It really depends on your lestening habbits and how loud you intend to listen. Im not into booming car audio, never cared for that. But after a week without an amp it was clear that my sony headunit amp was clipping. It was also getting very hot. My CDs were very warm when ejected. So I always use outboard amps... But thats with my listening habits. Try it without an amp first. If you need more dbs then upgrade. Garrett "lmeadows" wrote in message om...

Never compared the two, non-Zed versus Zed.
Agree the old Zed audio designs rock. I run hifonics VIII for all freqs above 70Hz (odin, jupiter, vulcan, thor). Love the varipower circuit. Seems to clip more gently when pushed to the limit.

Who's top posting? My post was just as relevant as your last post. What
matters is what they make NOW. Who cares if they used to make the best amp in the world, if the'yre crap now, they're crap. Would it be worth it to search out an older piece? Absolutely. But he did base his opinion on actual use not what he "heard". Think about it like cars. if you bought a Jaguar and it was a lemon would you ever buy another one? Even if someone said "The older ones were better, I don't know why you'd base your opinion on a new one" I doubt you'd take the time to look for an older one, you'd just buy something else and be done with it.

I'm just wondering if a female told you that size doesn't matter...but I digress. No I've a few dealings with there products but they seem to have spotty QC at best, loose RCAs, bad traces on the board, and non mil-spec boards of suspect quality. So I've a few run ins and I don't need a list of persons to help me decide about an amp or company |

Most likely he picked up a vision series sometime about 4 years after the Q series was all gone, and based his ASSumption of everything the company ever made, or had made for them, in this case, on one piece of equipment. narcolept ----- who, for one, hates everything rainbow audio has ever made, because his friend's sister's cousin's baby daddy's brother knew this guy who had to return something for warranty work. I understand what both are saying but I was just relating my experience to an amp from the company and if that one is bad don't you think this is indicative of most of there amps?? If Chyr. makes one really bad car do you think that the lower or equal line would be the same, better, or worse. Narc. you do sometimes come across the wrong was by your typing, attitude, grammar, style, not downing you just an observation. |

My post was just as relevant as your last post. What matters is what they make NOW. Who cares if they used to make the best amp in the world, if the'yre crap now, they're crap. Would it be worth it to search out an older piece? Absolutely. But he did base his opinion on actual use not what he "heard". Think about it like cars. if you bought a Jaguar and it was a lemon would you ever buy another one? Even if someone said "The older ones were better, I don't know why you'd base your opinion on a new one" I doubt you'd take the time to look for an older one, you'd just buy something else and be done with it. Don't jump on his case because you feel like being nostalgiac. Paul Vina First of all, I didn't jump on his case. He became involved in mine by spouting off about another amp entirely that THE ONE WE WERE DISCUSSING. THE DISCUSSION WAS ABOUT THE ESX QUANTUM SERIES, BUT SPECIFICALLY ABOUT ZED AUDIO AMPS. That's the point of the whole thing. I don't give a rats ass about the vision series or any other esx amp, I was talking about the quantum series, made by zed audio for esx, and sanitarium was talking about other zed made amps. Has nothing to do with what Tha Ghee (god that's lame) spouted off about narcolept ------ thinks 99% of r.a.c should have to pass a "reading for ****tards" class "narcolept" wrote in message t... "Paul Vina" wrote in message news:GVTzb.306743$ao4.1052293@attbi_s51... As most people do about most comapnies. If he had a bad experience with a company why would he come back to it? Paul Vina top posting is silly. It's like watching the end of a movie before the beginning.. So anyway. This bad experience was after the series from the company in questions was long since sold out. That's like saying you would never use anything RF ever made because they suck a big dick now.. Or you wouldn't use an orion amp because they made crap right before Directed bought out ADST... Get the picture? narcolept ------ and don't forget about the sister's girlfriend's gay brother's boyfriend's mother's neice's baby daddy factor. "narcolept" wrote in message news

Narc. you do sometimes come across the wrong was by your typing, attitude, grammar, style, not downing you just an observation. That last line english? Anyway. You still haven't provided a model number, so know one knows if this was a regular ESX amp, or one of the Q series, which was manufactured for esx by an entirely different company, which was the whole spirit of this thread, which you seemed to have dragged up to whine. narcolept ---- How many times do you have to say "We were talking about the Q series" before ****asses start to get the point? |
