I.C.E.

[DevilDamo]

My current I.C.E. setup is somewhat very dull and boring. I am looking into having one 10" sub and amp. I've been having a look through a few sites and was wondering is it or is it not adviseable to keep the makes consistent?

I currently have an Alpine CDA-9830R headunit.

Something I am keen on at the mo is...

Alpine Type-S Pack (http://www.caraudiodirect.co.uk/product_info.php?products_id=4814)

Is this good value for money?

Also, what's the story regarding 6x9's? Are they ghey? Should I just uprate my front speakers? If so, to what? Components, co-axial?

[Graeme]

defo dont get 6x9's damo get a good set of componants up front

i got some vibe ones from audiodirect for £80 and there top notch

as for the sub and amp is it just a little bass your after?

[Scott]

no need to stick tot he same brand.

6x9s are gay.

Front components amped if you can budget it and sub and amp in the rear. rock on.

[DevilDamo]

As this will be the first ever sub and amp I've had in any of my Saxo's, I'm not after anything special. I'm only after a bit of bass and a better sound than I currently have.

So do people think that Alpine Type-S kit is worth it?

I might buy that kit, have it fitted and then see if the front/rear speakers should be upgraded.

[DevilDamo]

Right... I'm going to order the Alpine Type-S Pack tomorrow smileys/smiley16.gif

[Graeme]

yeah looks good to me!!

cant belive this is your 1st ever sub and amp smileys/smiley3.gif

how come you aint had it in the car?

[DevilDamo]

Graeme... I know. Tell me about it. It's because I'm always concerned as to what my car looks like externally. Interior mod's are always last on the list and in the past, if I can hear my speakers, then it's fine. Hehe!

Scott... Looks like I'm the opposite as I've NEVER had any. Hehe!

[seano]

if its not to later get the type r's instead

[Reef]

Yeah subs do begin to give you a headache after a while, but... i love my BASS smileys/smiley4.gif i was going crazy without it, music just does not sound 'good' without a bass box system.

[DevilDamo]

I have just ordered these front speakers...

Infinity Reference

I was going to go for the Kappa's but don't feel I need them (at this present time). The Reference ones are half the price and not that bad.

They should be with me tomorrow smileys/smiley16.gif

[reevesy_vtr]

should sound nice mate smileys/smiley17.gif

[Baz]

should be good mate! pretty disapointed ive been waiting 2 and a half months for mine smileys/sad.gif still not got my money back yet either so i can by some Focal comps

[stevossaxo]

6x9s running on there own amp with a cross over network and gain control are absolutly fine!

[jaybiss]

not for sound they arent

he has a sub so doesnt need them smileys/smiley2.gif

[stevossaxo]

thats my opinion, i have two subs two amps etc.... and they just help to add treble and a bit of mids, as im using the cross over and gain etc to block out bass going to them ...
