Pioneer Car Sound System Question?

Question

Right now I have 6x8 and 6x9 Pioneer speakers and pioneer head unit. The front speakers give out 40w rms and the rear ones give out 100w rms. I am looking to buy a subwoofer and 2 amps. For the speakers I'm looking at the GM-6500F which gives the speakers 60w rms. The subwoofer is the Pioneer TS-SWX251 which gives out 200w rms. The amp for the subwoofer is going to be the GM-D7500M which would give the subwoofer 200w rms. The question is will all this power the system without my battery going dead and what kind of wiring kit should I get for the amps?

Thanks

Answer 1

nice.. i have a pioneer system iswell, yep u should b sweet as.

i have 2 12'' subs and 2 amps and my battery has been fine since i've had my system installed.

go with 8gauge wire for your speakers/amp and 4gauge wire for your sub/amp..

battery's 450cca and higher r good for sound systems.

Answer 2

I have to say that the low end Pioneer speakers are just that, low end. I still have my TS-A6903i (6x9 which i can see over in the corner) and my 10" TS-A2501i speakers are currently staring me right in the face. For some reason Pioneer only do really top end gear which is good, or bottom of the run gear which is ropey at best .. but nothing in between???



For low end amps, I do like Pioneer amps, although my friend said they're not what they used to be. I currently have and old school Pioneer amp running my Morel Tempo 6 speakers. The sound is warm and full ... basically, sounds like a cheaper version of my JL audio amps ... but for me, JL audio amps have the edge.



On your battery, it should be fine if your alternator is up to the job. I killed two Varta batteries in a matter of months, because my tiny alternator was only pushing out 30 amps. I've since had to upgrade my cars charging system and for convenience I picked up a huge Varta battery from a car breakers yard, already charged for less than a 1/4 of the price of a newer, lower powered Varta battery .... result!!





However my advice is, ditch the sub/speaker set up ... especially the speakers, keep the Pioneer amps, but look to DLS for speakers, by far and away the best speakers I've heard under $100, and try for a JL Audio Sub of some sort. Like I said, the low end Pioneer gear is pretty ropey, I've owned enough of the stuff to know that!

last point, a cap is going to be the least effective part of any audio system!

if the headlights are dimming and you wanna sell a cap to fix it, why are we putting on the amp? We should be putting on the headlights because that’s what you’re actually having a problems with

My car had 6 6x9's (convertible top=easy modifications) I had 8 subs in it. I can tell you when I first started my head lights dimmed with just a 400 watt amp and when the bass hit hard it cut off! (battery drain protect mode) I added two batteries and a capacitor. Running 4 gauge to the trunk with all the batteries wired in parallel, going to the capacitor. From the capacitor, I ran 0 gauge wire to my 5000 watt amp. It seemed more then sufficient to power all of it. Not sure how much you are a bass enthusiast... but whatever it is you should definitely have atleast a capacitor with both amps running off of it.

you would be plenty extra delighted in case you in basic terms flow with a company like Boston Acoustics, Alpine, Arc Audio, Kenwood Excelon, or MB Quart. in case you will flow with bose motor vehicle audio you will possibly as nicely flow with Sony motor vehicle audio, they the two halfassedly do motor vehicle stereo. Pioneer is nice, yet truly they make extra advantageous homestead stereo factors. you will get reamed at perfect purchase, beware. flow to three actual motor vehicle audio shops and spot what they might desire to grant - it truly is no longer some newborn promotion you a constrained line of mediocre products.
