which component speakers shall i buy?

[355858]

i've got max of £100 to spend on front components does anyone know where to get good ones cheap and what ones to get? and do i amp them up or will they sound good enough through the headunit?

[K-R]

for £100 everyone will recommend the Boston S50 from CAD you can run them of the headunit but they will sound better amped

[355858]

from where sorry?

[355858]

car audio direct?

[K-R]

yea sorry http://www.caraudiodirect.co.uk/bost...cs-p-4389.html

[355858]

oh ok cheers will they sound good? is it best to put something like brown bread or dyno mat behind them??

[saxooxas]

yeah the bostons were well good id definately recommend them, but then they got nicked..

[Predator_R32p]

boston s50s are the best entry level components in a 13cm fitment imo

as said there going to sound a lot better amped up so get saving for one, about 70 quid should get you a decent amp to power them, running them off the headunit will be ok for now

as for sound deadining it is recommended too

dynomat and brown bread are the best on the market

ive used ivanhoe, tbh i cant tell the difference, its cheaper and does the job, you will probablies only need one and a half rolls for the 2 doors, do as much of it as you can though that includes the outer skin and inner skin if you can get to them

i've got a cheap 4 channel 400w boschmann amp and a 2 channel 800w kicker amp can i use either of them to power the components? i've ordered them already lol i've got this headunit coming on monday to, will it be ok for the components its sposed to be a good headunit:

i'm going to be mainly using my sony walkmann 20gb (like ipod) mp3 player playing music through the headunit and all my albums are 192 to 312 kbs so it should sound good through the bostons yeah?

[Predator_R32p]

yes mate components will make it sound really good, i assure you

whats the spec of your amps, just give me the codes of them or links if you can

The headunit i really think sony are crap, sorry just had a few and there not very good, cds jumping but if your using a MP3 player you should be ok

id keep to clarion, pioneer and alpine for headunits, just personal expierience as ive had a few headunits in my time

[355858]

i dont know what they are, ill try find out as not at home this week and they're in spare room...

[Predator_R32p]

just need the RMS wattages

If you don't mind me asking how are you going to connect an MP3 player to your head unit with no USB or Ipod connection point.

[355858]

it comes with a sony walkman adapter that fits into the cd changer bus bit

as said comes with an adaptor

or you can use the AUX socket with a phono/rca to headphone jack lead
