Shane213 · 21st January 2009, 11:20

Hello, im im looking to install a good sound system into my saxo and was wondering if anyone could recommened a good system? Bellow is a list of what i want if possible and budget.

ohh its a 5 door saxo

Components (possibly 2 sets for back and front doors) (if possible ones which will fit straight into the door with out to much modifications)
Sub (and box) (possibly one which will leave me room in my boot lol)
Amp
Headunit
Wires

I have around 250 to spend but any lower for a good system will be good

headunit:

the amp is 4 channel, so 2 channels for the sub, and 2 for the components

anything else needed?

Shane213 · 21st January 2009, 13:49

So that will come to around 239.97, what wires and stuff will i need like fuses and stuff?

Defo make sure they fit, there is a few threads on here about people instaling front door speakers and the windows rub with the back of the speaker...

comps fit.. there not a straight fit, simply because theyre a component

woofer screws straight in. tweeter needs to be mounted as does the crossover..

all the wires are included, thats everything you need to wire up the whole system

tuft · 21st January 2009, 21:37

where do people usually mount the tweeter? seen most on doorcards but seen someone put them on the back of the wing mirror covers. is there any gain from putting them in either place or is just if their above the woofer on the same plain then they will sound ok?

Shane213 · 22nd January 2009, 22:30

Just what tuft said where would it be best to mount the tweeters and the crossovers.

carlos7777777 · 22nd January 2009, 22:35

anywhere that is ear level... so ideally in the wingmirror adjuster plastic place (u know where i mean lol)

Yes i think i no where you on about, so you mean cut a hole for them facing towars the persons?

carlos7777777 · 22nd January 2009, 23:44

yh m8, mine are like that

pik:

Shane213 · 23rd January 2009, 11:47

Ahh ok, so is it simply remove the cover bits, create hole and mount the tweater? or do i have to exstend them out slightly (which i think you have done or im just seeing things)

McBain · 23rd January 2009, 13:47

They usually come with two mountig pods, one so you can flush mount them and one to have them sticking out like in the photo.

tuft · 23rd January 2009, 17:13

what about at the top of the door card? would that sound ok or do they need to be higher?

rkid147 · 23rd January 2009, 21:04

i mounted my tweeters on my doorcard mate and they sound great, look less "cluttered" than on the mirror plate aswell:

where to on the door card, like close to the vents?
can you mount them into the door card, so you dont have them sticking out like in the pic above? dont like things being too on show

Ruka · 23rd January 2009, 23:28

Can recommend that JBL Bandpass Sub as being alot of bass for your money, I power mine off the GTO 1004e, not met anyone local to match it yet in terms of volume. Its not the best for sound quality but what more can you expect for that price.
Also have you considered putting your tweeters in the bottom of the side air vents, I did mine about a week ago. Stops them being on show from the outside of the car because of the way the grills are positioned.

I have now purchased the headunit which was suggested and it seems to work great, i will be purchasing the amp, sub and components very soon but was wondering if the amp has a remote turn on thing?

tuft · 29th January 2009, 14:55

it should do ye, with your wiring kit you should have a blue lead, this is the remote lead that you run from the HU to the amp

Shane213 · 29th January 2009, 15:45

Ariel is the last question i should have and that is the HU which was recommened seems to have a different connection for the ariel connection, do i need to purchase some type of converter? the headunit seems to have a female connection and the ariel in the car is also femail with a small part in side of it.
