Subwoofa mate - Gotta get this guys

[mrpayner]

[color=#000000ost_uid0]I downloaded the "Chicks" song and it has a variable bit rate. That may be the problem. It's the only variable bit rate MP3 that I have [1000+ files]. I've burned full albums that I've downloaded from the Net onto CD and they're fine on my Hi-Fi system. They sound great, but that could be because they're $850 speakers, $800 amp, $1500 speaker cable, $300 interconnect and a Pioneer CD player. **** ay! [great, i'm sounding like Dan now ??? ]. Ah well.

What is the bit rate of the song in question??

[color=#000000ost_uid0]It's not a typo, it was $1500.

[color=#810541ost_uid0]Sandy ==> Sounds good. My plan is for a single JBL 12inch sub, with a 6 speaker system. Even though I have 6x9 in the parcel shelf, I still have the rear door mounts/cutouts/grills. just got to get a big enough amp(or a few of em).

Sehn ==> Damn, I wish I had that sort of money![/colorost_uid0]

It does sound great! Well worth the money.

[color=#FF0000ost_uid0]my sister recently acquired a 1.6L 97 laser, and the standard speakers are ****. **** **** **** **** ****. we plan to get the standards from the astina in there(they are actually allright speakers) and get some new ones for in there. dads leaning toward some nice descent speakers with descent quality. i am trying to convince him to get pioneer, and keep away from sony. does anybody have any suggestions?[/colorost_uid0]

[MrShadow]

[color=#810541ost_uid0]Give the JBL GTO series a listen, they're not too bad.[/colorost_uid0]

[Sandyman]

[color=#FF0000ost_uid0]how much?[/colorost_uid0]

[MrShadow]

[color=#810541ost_uid0]7x5's (front speakers for the Hardtop) : about $130 (I think)
6x9's (rear speakers for the Hardtop) : about $200 (I think)

Those were trade prices, as we repair the dealers printers ( :: ) so expect to pay a bit more.[/colorost_uid0]

[mrpayner]

[color=#000000ost_uid0]You're just running those off the head unit without an amp MrShadow??

Adam[/colorost_uid0]

[MrShadow]

[color=#810541ost_uid0]Yep. I've heard that speakers sound better when you've amped 'em. Is that true?

My Plan is:
Amp (capable of driving 1 x Sub and 2 x speakers, if possible)
Sub
6 speaker system (as I still ahve the cutouts in the rear doors for 7x5 speakers). hence the need for an amp to drive 2 speakers.[/colorost_uid0]
