Car Speaker Help Please?

Question

I am looking to change the speakers in my car and need some advice on the full setup I will need.

My car is a Volkswagen Polo 2005 1.2L

I am firstly looking at an Edge 900W Subwoofer with built in amp, will I not need an amp at all then with the whole setup?
Edge 240W 6.5 Component Front Speaker Set

Please let me know what you think the full setup will be needed, including cables.
Thanks

Answer 1

Good 4 Channel Amp

Good front speakers - 2 channels

Good sub - bridge the other 2 channels

I used to buy very average speakers, flipping from one brand to the next, then i invested in some Morel Tempo 6 speakers (retail around £180-190) real speakers, and have never looked. So in real terms although the initial outlay was more, its actually stopped my buying other gear.

Morel

captaincable is well known for selling Morel Tempo speakers on the cheap (realistically i should be telling you this) ... He ships on Fridays only if my memory serves me right.

Final word on Morel: I bought some Vibe components and in comparison to my Morel Tempo speakers, the Vibes sounded so c%*p that after a few days i ripped them back out and stuck the Morel Tempo 6 speakers back in ... that's how good Morel is!





DLS are forever winning EMMA SQ (Sound Quality) awards. Retail under £100 (the Morels retail for £180) DLS are by far and away the best sounding speakers I've ever owned!

Subwoofer

Forget about big figures when it comes to subwoofers at this level, for various reasons, in real terms it counts for nothing. I understand you want a sub with a built in amp to get you going. Personally I'd get on ebay and bid for a separate JL Audio subs and amp for a sub stage set up.



BTW, just to let you know, I build enclosures, and i replaced my 12" Digital Designs (competition subwoofer brand) with a 6.5" subwoofer from Hybrid Audio I6SW

And here's what PWK Designs (Peter W. Kulicki) did with the 6.5" subwoofer. i didn't believe it, os i bought one myself, and these little things hit hard!

wiring kit

=====



The only issue I had with the pre-package wiring kit is that the RCA cable would always give way. So I invested in some 5m QED cable
