Need help with what to install, I'll be needing a head unit, speakers and a CD Changer..prefer something that is sattelite ready, also probably a Ipod hook up as well.

Thanks

Andy

 

just for basic suggestions:
new pioneer 7800mp is pretty good and wont break the bank to bad and its both satelite, ipod and changer ready.
infinity reference speakers are cheap and decent


if you want bad ***......well ****, theres so many:

my suggestion:
Pioneer Premier p880prs
Pioneer Prs Series speakers
Alpine PDX amplifiers
(my new setup, and loving it btw)

of course others will swear by other brands......but its all about what you want of course. cant go wrong either way. go big or go home right?

 

ok what size speakers...dont want to go hacking anything up!

 

basic;
Alpine cda 9856 with full speed ipod cable(also SAT radio ready)
Alpine Sps 171a 6.5" comp front types
Alpine SPS 17c2 6.5 coax rear types
alpine mrp-f250 sub amp
alpine swe1042 10" type e sub

advanced;
alpine cda-9857 with full speen ipod cable(also SAT radio ready)
Alpine spr-17ls 6.5" comp front type r
alpine spr-17lp 6.5" coax rear type r
Alpine mrp f450 4ch mid/highs amp
alpine mrp m450 sub amp
alpine swr1022d 10"type r sub

More advanced;
Alpine iva d310 av headunit (sat radio, ipod, dvd, etc)
alpine spx-177r type x comp front
alpine spx 177r type x comp rear
alpine pdx 4.150 mids/highs amp
alpine pdx 1.1000 sub amp
alpine swx1042 10" type x sub

you can also throw in different things if you want. I am just remomending what I think would go together best. Btw I install alot of alpine and their amps are killer. ALPINE FTW hehehe

 

+1

 

+2 I love my alpine 9856

 

Super Advanced:

Alpine F1 System

OR

Carrozzeria (Pioneer Japan) AVH-P90DVA
Pioneer CD-IB10 Ipod adapter
Pioneer RS-A70x 100x4 amp
Carrozzeria PRS-A700 amp
Carrozzeria TS-V7A component speaker (2 sets)
Carrozzeria TS-W1RS sub (sealed enclosure)
Monster Cable or Stinger wiring
Optima Yellowtop battery

OR

All Mcintosh equipment with either Dynaudio or Focal speakers...

 

^ yeah I would suggest alpine f#1 status..but thats just insane. You have to be a REAL audiphile and know the differences your listining for in a ~$20k alpine system. LOL

 

BTW rainbow components are nice:

 

that sounds good if i leave out the sub & amp
Will those speakers fit, crutchfield seems to think they wont!

 

screw crutchfield. MUHHAAHA. yes i think they should fit, only thing I would be concerened about it magnet depth on the mid..but the type s is not that big of magnet.

 

yeah but i need a proper answer before i go spending my hard earned $$ on stuff

 

anyone stylin any 6.75 inch speakers? will those fit?

 

personally, i think it goes beyond the essence of an RS to get a full radio system, unless you want to go heavy investment in security w/ pwr d/l, windows, etc.

i'd recommend getting the stock radio ($50 or so), then throw in some speakers ($100). with the lack of sound proofing from the trunk, you're gonna need a crapload of dynomat and stuff to overcome the noise for a nice sound system....jmho

 

Get what you want but try a highend Eclipse headunit! It is the best, with such clarity.

Anyways, on my RS I have Eclipse 8xxx headunit mated to delphi XM tuner all connected to two separate amps, JL audio component speakers ( a MUST!!!) and 12" alpine sub.

Basic but cranks clean when you need that escape!

Install them yourself and enjoy the experience...
