Hello - new to DIYMA. I have a project truck that i am working on. It's a 84 Landcruiser FJ60 - not anything fancy (yet), and constantly in process of one project or another... While i am trying to quiet it down so i can hear myself think (or actually talk with the person next to me) i thought it would be nice to upgrade the stereo. I'm currently in mid Damplifier install, so good time to re-wire and re-route for a new stereo and speakers.
So, i know very little about car audio (about to be painfully obvious), and was hoping to get some recommendations on speakers.
I'd like to run some 6.5" components (passive) - off of a yet to be determined 4ch amp for the front doors. Thinking some 5.25 or 6.5 coax for rear doors (off same 4ch amp).
I'm trying to find good sounding speakers (main focus on front speakers), that are respected as good bang for the buck. I am looking to spend 150-300 for the fronts - and 100-200 for rear. I hope that helps you steer me towards a good set for both.
The door speakers are my main focus asking for your help. I'm planning so don't have anything yet (except crap stock'ish speakers and a decent Pioneer HU).
I like all kinds of music Rock, R&B, some pop, and mellow surf music (jack johnson, xavier rudd, etc). I'm not looking to enter any competitions, or rattle windows as i drive by. I have aggresive (loud) offroad tires, so the truck is loud going down the road and I want to be able to hear the music. (which is why i'm using DP and LLP). HOpefully it will quiet down significantly, but having a nice setup to listen to won't hurt!
After the door speakers are in and done, i'd like to look at getting a bit of bump... I'd like to get 1 or 2 10" slim subs in the back quarter panels in the cargo area. (here comes the really noob q's) SO... i'm trying to figure out how to power those. One 2ch amp for both, or one for each? I have found a couple low profile 10's - Pioneer being one (TS-SW1001S2/4), and mac audio being another (can't even find a dealer - prolly $$ and dreaming).
anyway - i'm all over the map and i know this will be tough to steer me. I appreciate any suggestions as i try and figure this out.
Thanks!!
